Why SARS-CoV-2 Deaths Are 4-16 Times Lower Than Flu.

20 March 2022

Beware Conflicted Studies. Last week an article was published in The Lancet that estimates COVID-19 excess deaths. As is generally the case when it comes to ‘official’ studies or reports – those attempting to reflect or reinforce the official narrative – it is written in the conditional mood. It is therefore the language of ‘could‘, […]

Nitric Oxide’s Role In Anti-Adhesion And Anti-Coagulation.

13 December 2021

Background. SARS-CoV-2’s Achilles’ heel has always been vitamin D in general and nitric oxide in particular. We first explained the relevance of vitamin D in July 2020, identifying the correlation between vitamin D deficiency and COVID-19 mortality rates and the key role of exposure to photosynthesis of vitamin D from exposure to UVB that occurs […]

Cathelicidin – Another Key Benefit Of Vitamin D.

29 October 2021

Background. It is impossible to ignore the pivotal role of vitamin D both in preventing SARS-CoV-2 viral infection (through the eNOS→nitric oxide pathway) and in reducing COVID-19 disease severity (through the cholecalciferol→ calcifediol→calcitriol pathway). As early as July 2020 we had identified the positive correlation between COVID-19 mortality rate and vitamin D deficiency. By October […]

Why Wearing A Non-Surgical Face Covering Makes It Worse.

25 September 2021

UK COVID-19 Mortality Rate. The most straightforward, simple and transparent measure of whether non-surgical face coverings work is that even now, over 18 months into the current insanity, the UK’s COVID-19 mortality rate is 3.27-times higher than the worldwide average (@0500UTC today, source: Johns Hopkins Coronavirus Resource Center/Worldmeters). With the worldwide average being just what […]

How Low Is The SARS-CoV-2 Mortality Rate?

13 September 2021

We All Grew Up With Coronaviruses, As Did All Our Ancestors. To understand the relevance of mortality rate, you have to appreciate that coronaviruses first became pathogenic to humans in the range 12,000 – 10,000 years ago, as a consequence of the first interaction between humans and livestock that occurred in the early Holocene. Mankind […]

Antiphospholipid Antibodies And COVID-19 Vaccines.

25 August 2021

Background. As early as October 2020 – over ten months ago – we explained why a vaccine was not needed and would not be effective. That’s a vaccine using its correct medical definition, i.e. a prophylactic treatment providing long-term or lifetime protection. All of the four main treatment candidates being injected – Vaxzevria; BNT126b2; mRNA-1273 […]

Why Is Nitric Oxide’s Key Role Ignored?

28 July 2021

Role In The Innate Immune Response. It is a year since we first identified the significance of vitamin D in respect of SARS-CoV-2. Through the vitamin D pathways it can both prevent viral infection and attenuate disease progression and severity. Yet the role of vitamin D-modulated nitric oxide remains largely ignored and dismissed by the NHS as […]

Why SARS-CoV-2 Is NOT Airborne Spread.

3 June 2021

‘The Ships Hung In The Sky In Much The Same Way That Bricks Don’t.’ The above is a line from Douglas Adams’ The Hitchhiker’s Guide To The Galaxy, referring to the arrival of the Vogon Constructor Fleet. The relevance to SARS-CoV-2 is that even a brick if thrown is airborne spread…for a very short time. It […]

Tests That Would Have Saved Thousands.

13 May 2021

UK COVID-19 mortality rate remains one of the highest in the world. On a population-adjusted basis (for fair comparison) the UK mortality rate is 4.36x the worldwide average, which means there have been an additional 98,364 deaths in the UK (@0500UTC 13/05/21, source: Johns Hopkins Coronavirus Resource Center/Worldmeters). Deaths that were avoidable. One of the […]

Questions For Those Offering You A ‘Vaccine’.

4 May 2021

Beware ‘Excited’ Non-Healthcare Workers. As another cohort is now to be offered the antivirals (they are not vaccines), it is apposite to set out some questions to ask those who are falling over themselves to vaccinate you. There is an irony in the fact that reception staff at GPs’ surgeries who are usually obdurate and […]
