Is Ivermectin Another ‘Wonderdrug’?

21 April 2021

Is This Remdesivirmania Redux? Ivermectin is the subject of increasing coverage and concomitant hysteria around it being another ‘wonderdrug’ for the treatment of SARS-CoV-2. It has been touted as a potential treatment since the days of remdesivir, chloroquine, hydroxychloroquine and lopinavir. We picked apart remdesivir in October 2020, days after it was approved by the […]

Peak Deaths Was One Year Ago.

8 April 2021

Peak Infections And Peak Deaths. COVID-19 deaths peaked in the UK on 8th April 2020, one year ago today. This followed peak infections on 19th March 2020, a little under three weeks previous, in line with SARS-CoV-2’s infection cycle of two weeks. Week one occurs in the upper respiratory tract and includes exposure, cellular fusion […]

Rhinoviruses Increase SARS-CoV-2 Immunity.

31 March 2021

Persistent Antigen Exposure. We first highlighted persistent antigen exposure back in November 2020, when our research showed that individuals who had not previously had SARS-CoV-2 possessed memory T cells that recognised it, with this recognition likely coming from previous exposure to other common cold-causing coronaviruses. Public Health England that commissioned the report stated (with our […]

IgA – Faster, Stronger and More Effective.

11 March 2021

The Star Player On Your Team. Following seroconversion, immumoglobulin A (IgA) istoype is the most frequently created antibody in the immune system. This is principally because it dominates the upper respiratory tract, which is usually the first point of contact between pathogen and human. Therefore, it is needed more frequently than the other isotypes. As […]

UK Deaths Increase By Over One Third Since Vaccine Rollout.

19 February 2021

UK Deaths Increase By More Than One Third Since Vaccine Rollout. In the four weeks since the ‘vaccine’ rollout, UK COVID-19 deaths have risen by 31,368 (source: Johns Hopkins Coronavirus Resource Center and Worldmeters, @0500UTC 18/02/21). As the ‘vaccine’ is being offered to those in high risk groups first, it does not follow that over […]

Calcifediol (Vitamin D) Is The Most Effective Vaccine.

14 February 2021

Our Position On Calcifediol Is Validated Again. In early July 2020 we identified the importance of vitamin D in respect of SARS-CoV-2, both in terms of systematic vitamin D deficiency leading to increased COVID-19 disease severity & resultant higher mortality rates and the role of vitamin D in providing protective or sterilising immunity. Natural exposure […]

Why The S Protein Is Not The Target You Are Looking For.

11 February 2021

The First Lesson Of Camouflage – Not Being Seen. The majority of vaccines and antivirals both in use and in development as SARS-CoV-2 countermeasures target the structural Spike protein. We have highlighted previously that as the S protein trimers contain the RBDs, the S protein houses the virion’s principal weapon and is therefore the obvious, […]

Clap For Chris – The Greatest Scientist…NOT.

6 February 2021

This Man Is Supposed To Be In Charge. Earlier this week, the Chief Medical Officer was heckled in the street by someone who disagreed with him. Perhaps not the most appropriate way to make your point – even if the point being made was absolutely correct – but if you are a true leader and […]

Nitric Oxide Immunity In The Upper Respiratory Tract.

24 January 2021

The Upper Respiratory Tract Is The Key Battleground. Back in July 2020, we first explained the crucial significance of vitamin D as an effective viral countermeasure as well as the significance of vitamin D deficiency in SARS-CoV-2’s pathogenesis and COVID-19 disease severity. Then in October we highlighted the importance of the vitamin D→endothelial nitric oxide synthase→nitric […]

Antibody-Dependent Enhancement And This Rushed ‘Vaccine’.

19 January 2021

What is Antibody-Dependent Enhancement? As we have set out previously, it takes 10-15 years to develop a vaccine. This timescale is entirely understandable and justifiable when you consider that the vaccine has to be both effective and safe. Safe includes not causing unacceptable side effects, which include the vaccine or immune system’s response triggering autoimmunity, […]
