Great summary, Mike! it seems to me that the most powerful argument that can be made against Virology is the lack of a control group. That is, if we keep all the variables the same but now proceed to contrast the fluid samples taken from healthy host. if the DV results in the same conclusion, the case is closed. The null hypothesis is accepted!
I think this was one of your best Substacks yet!! Everything was laid out very well 💜 I couldn’t help but laugh at some of that deep indoctrination and was reminded of our bout with my buddy Kevin.
Are ya sure you don’t want to get bitten by a rabid dog? 😉
Another great post. Your articles have shown there's no scientific proof of the existence of viruses. (Even if infectious viruses do exist, then it's obvious the purported virus genomes are fake.) However, the vast majority won't reject virology unless there's another paradigm to replace it.
COVID, AIDS, polio and the Spanish "Flu" had non-viral causes. But finding the causes of regular flu/colds and measles, etc. has been more elusive. If ALL “infectious viruses” turn out to be a hoax, then “infectious diseases” might still exist via a TBD non-viral mechanism. Even Cowan has to invoke "resonance", which is unproven and very speculative, to explain why measles is "infectious".
Dr. Suzanne Humphries, who is very anti-vax, is still on team-virus because she says measles is definitely infectious and detox can't explain why someone doesn't get it repeatedly.
I'm just an ordinary man from the UK who has been trying to get his head around the last few years. I don't blindly trust anything which appears to be instantly making millions in profit. Reading this confirms what I have always felt. Sadly, I dont have many around me who feel the same. I guess the average person just can't be bothered to look. Anyway, a great read, thank you!
Hi, thanks for the recommendation Mike! interesting that you posted the IVM double cross before the animal ag double cross (which I'm blocked from commenting on)! It's not really a war on birds is it? It's a proxy war (just like the one in Ukraine) on those wanting to eat their dead bodies. It means the industry can post pictures of mountains of carcasses, because they can't do that with humans, hyping up the flu and contagion fears, and also increase the price and demand for dead flesh at the same time. The animal ag industry is flourishing and set to get bigger and also happens to be the biggest user of pharma products; free range hens now getting even more vaccines than battery cos of bird flus scams https://georgiedonny.substack.com/p/increasing-the-price-and-demand-for
Thank you for your brilliant explanation of the scientific method and why virology is an example of its opposite, namely pseudoscience, anti-science. Your point that virology has no independent variable from which to set up experiments is telling and powerful.
I have one small criticism, tangential not essential. You wrote, "As can be seen from these definitions, science is the systemized acquisition of knowledge about the physical, social, and natural world that is based upon the evidence gained through observation and experimentation. '
The "social world" cannot be understood by means of the scientific method, which is proper to investigating physical reality only. In any social event, one can posit a cause, but it is not possible to prove by an experiment in which all variables except for the independent variable are controlled. Social events must be understood by reference to rational philosophy, meaning philosophical insights that have been proven deductively from self-evident axiom (such as, "existence exists"). Proven philosophical insights can then be used to properly explain social events.
For example, economic theory is a branch of the philosophy of ethics that explains and proves the optimal political policy for achieving material well-being which is economic freedom. Pretenses to "science" and mathematical measurement of outcomes and causes are pseudo-science. And in fact, in "scientific economic theory", no independent variable can be proven, meaning that the posited independent variable is a misconception. This is a subject for another day.
The destruction of philosophy, as in for example post modernism, and the destruction of science as in virology are consequences of the abandonment and rejection of reason, now far advanced in our culture.
I have always been on the dissenting side of the Hiv debate but then 3 years ago I tested positive. My diagnosis has been particularly challenging for me to believe from the same people promoting Covid lies.
I want to live without antiretrovirals but when I go off them my viral increases, my cd4 count declines, and I look and feel generally unwell and get frequent staph and candida infections…. I’ve gone on and off my meds 6 times, never taking them for more than a few weeks.
I don’t do drugs and I have generally avoided doctors and modern medicine for my whole life. I didn’t get a Covid vaccine. I eat Whole Foods, I don’t drink alcohol, I’m active and don’t have a stressful life. So I’m not looking to debate or troll your posts…I actually believe what you are saying but it’s not matching up with my experience.
If I could find a way to feel healthy and test negative for Hiv again I would dedicate my life to speaking out against big pharma but it seems like all of the opposing views against hiv are just ideas. To still be blaming it all on poppers and azt just doesn’t add up.
Do you or anyone in your circle have any actionable advice for someone like me?
I wish I had known the dangers of rabies shots. My cat died a violent death less than 72 hours after her rabies shot summer of 2021…I was just beginning my journey as a proud “antivaxxer” because of my violent reaction to Pfizer’s 2nd dose (coerced by employer). I’m kicking myself for not being skeptical of all vaccines…but I certainly am now. My cat seemed to have a stroke and while driving her to the pet emergency she began screaming and projectile vomiting and writhing around in torture. I was beside myself. I’m a nurse but seriously can’t handle seeing animals and children suffering. That experience sealed the deal of never vaxxing myself or others again. And I speak my mind constantly!
I've only scanned it so far (only Jeremy Hammond writes longer tomes!), but I want to carefully review it.
Well I would agree that the scientific method is a very high standard for determining scientific truth.
However I do want to point out that there are many limitations with science in general, and with the domain of applicability for the scientific method.
There are many MANY cases of phenomena which are not subject to experimentation, thus can never get past the hypothesis stage.
For example:
Science can only perform experiments on phenomena which are repeatable.
What about one time only events? Can such a thing exist? Are these completely outside of the realm of possibility? (I'll bet you can think of some examples!)
Very long time scales: Crude oil takes 250 million years to create. This is the best estimate science has been able to determine. However this cannot be studied using the scientific method. No scientist, no matter how dull and few friends he has, has 250 million years to perform a experiment. (The longest experiment that I know of is the "pitch drop experiment", which might be close to 100 years, and is ongoing). So there are other methods which must be employed, such as indirect markers of time, inductive logic, "thought experiment".
Very large or very small units of mass or distance. Isolating particles the size of a virus is extremely difficult! It's beyond looking for a needle in a haystack. It's like looking for a needle in a 2,000 car train of hopper cars 20 miles long loaded with haystacks. It's really not so easy to do experiments with masses the size of planets.
Again, different methods must be employed besides the scientific method in order to get to the truth about these phenomena.
Don't get me wrong! I'm a man of science. I had an entire career in computer engineering.
I've read everyone from Karl Popper, Thomas Kuhn, Bertrand Russell, Roger Penrose, Douglas Hofstadter, Claude Shannon, Benoit Mandelbrot, Richard Feynman, Richard Dawkins, Stephen Hawking, Fritjof Capra, and Rupert Sheldrake.
The point is, science is a tool. Tools have specific applications for which they are useful. Eg, If you want to repair your eyeglasses, then a 6 lb sledgehammer may not be your best choice of a tool.
And if you get down to the nitty gritty, what you find at the core of science is pretty frightening!
Science is based on fundamental axioms which cannot be proven and must be taken on faith. Wait, WHAT!?
Science is never really certain of anything. For example the trade-off between knowing a particles position or its momentum. You get a choice! Pick one! That's all you get to know with precision.
In the quantum world we get really strange things like Schrödinger's superposition of states.
Mathematics, which lies at the foundation of our modern practice of science, at its core is fundamentally flawed. Do you know about what Kurt Gödel demonstrated? "All formal systems contain statements which are paradoxical, meaningless, or false." ALL formal systems! He proved this without a doubt! Bertrand Russell spent the last 30 years of his life trying to develop a system of mathematics free of paradox. He called it Principia Mathematica. But with one swift blow, this young punk mathematician from Czechia absolutely DESTROYED Russell's life work, and showed that it was a foolish goal.
Scientific statements of Truth must be interpreted with human wisdom always.
Maybe I'll try my hand at writing a Substack on this topic.

Great article, Mike!
Let me share something directly from the person who represents the science, that we wrote yesterday:

Keep up your excellent work! We need you.
God bless you.

This is extremely stupid. You don't appear to have any understanding of how variables are used or basic terminology
