More Infectious Equals More Vulnerable.

28 January 2021

Infectiousness And Infectivity Are Not The Same. Infectiousness is how easily a pathogen can spread and infectivity is the level of disease severity it can cause. We explained this in more detail earlier this month in response to the UK government’s regular – and one would predicate deliberate – confusion of the two. S-VoC / […]

WHO Shows PCR Testing Gets It Wrong.

21 January 2021

What Is Nucleic Acid Testing? Nucleic acid testing, more commonly known as PCR or RT-PCR testing, is one of the three main types of viral testing. There is a full explanation of these three types here but concentrating on PCR testing, it tests a sample for tiny fragments of viral RNA. It shows only the […]

Why Government Advice Makes It So Much Worse.

5 January 2021

Over nine months into this insanity, it is clear that government advice hasn’t worked. Following government advice doesn’t work. Not only is government advice ineffective but also it causes negative outcomes. Following government advice makes the situation worse and makes you far more likely to become seriously ill and – if you allow yourself to […]

PCR Testing Is Picking Up The Common Cold.

23 December 2020

Mutation = Phylogenetic Evolution. Not content with inventing the most recent ‘killer mutation of death’, there are now apparently even more new strains of the ‘killer virus of death’ (the one that continues to not kill people, especially those it infects). There is now even one supposedly from South Africa (“this is an illegal mutating, […]

Mutation Makes A Vaccine Useless.

20 December 2020

Epitopes And Paratopes. Apparently the killer virus of death (the one that continues to not kill people, especially those it infects) has now mutated into an even more killer strain. If that’s true – which it isn’t, read on to find out why – then wonderdrug vaccine BNT126b2 is nothing of the sort: it was […]

Having A Common Cold Is As Good As A Vaccine.

15 December 2020

Learn From The Common Cold. Pretty much everybody now knows that four coronaviruses cause the common cold: duvinacovirus alphacoronavirus HCoV-229E & setracovirus alphacoronavirus HCoV-NL63 and embecovirus or lineage A betacoronaviruses HCoV-HKU1 and HCoV-OC43. That’s the common cold that you can catch over & over and which is dealt with by the innate immune system only, […]

The Common Cold And SARS-CoV-2 Immunity.

30 November 2020

No Vaccine Required. Is it possible that the common cold could can provide immunity through memory T cells to a significant proportion of a population? In recent articles we have highlighted various other reasons why a vaccine is not required. This include; those not at risk (that’s over 99%) don’t need one and those at […]

Déjà vu – memory T cells have seen SARS-CoV-2 before.

23 November 2020

Newly-Discovered Is Not New. In early September we first highlighted the incorrect designation of SARS-CoV-2 as a ‘novel’ or ‘new’ coronavirus when it should have been designated ‘newly-discovered’. There is a subtle but fundamental difference: something that is new did not previously exist whereas something that is newly-discovered already existed but not been discovered yet. […]

These Are Not The Drugs You Are Looking For.

20 November 2020

Don’t Use Remdesivir. Just one month after the US Food and Drug Administration approved remdesivir as an antiviral for the treatment of patients with COVID-19, the WHO yesterday recommended that it not be used, on the basis that it is ineffective and there is “no evidence” it reduces mortality. Last month, we analysed remdesivir’s use […]

‘COVID-secure space’, ‘keeping you safe’…utter bollocks.

15 November 2020

Lockdown – The Sequel: Coming To A Cinem…Oh, They Are All Closed. Is it just us or are there more people out & about now than on a normal pre-house arrest day? It seems that the majority of the UK population has completely ignored the latest death warrant issued by Emperor Wannabe-Winston Johnson and are […]
