If not a virus, symptoms can be caused by toxic chemicals such as DDT for polio or bacteria for rabies, pneumonia, etc. But I think Shalet may be thinking of terrain theory? I like Dr. Sam Bailey's work that infections usually take root only in people predisposed to get ill due to preexisting conditions, poor immune systems, etc. I do believe in viruses. I don't believe they are always the whole story. If trying to discredit current vaccine policies based on so-called deadly virus, better to focus on deadly ineffective mRNA vaccines. We can still improve our policies--whether or not we believe that vaccines are real.
I'm familiar with her work and largely agree with her. In fact, she acknowledges that there is no need to reject medicine as a whole simply due to the corruption of the pharmaceutical industry or the over-reliance on medication and surgery to treat disease. As far as I can tell, she does not deny the existence of infectious disease. That position is rather absurd on its face, as even a child knows that sick people make other people sick when they cough on them, and that basic measures like hand-washing and sterile fields in surgery prevent disease. What she asserts, which is not unreasonable, is that healthy people are less likely to contract or spread infections, so why not include that as a personal responsibility rather than rely on external fear-driven "safety" mechanisms like masks and shots to keep us well?
You are incorrect about one thing. No man cancels their flight, business meeting, work day because they have minor cold symptoms. Not in the U.S. Marine Corps or other services nor at any police/fire departments anyway. Prior to March 16, 2020, this was common knowledge & accepted practice. Still is in my book, amongst my peers in the aforementioned vocations & the vast majority of other jobs people perform to support their families & pay the bills. “I will not comply” extends to this position as well as not wearing a mask, quarantining myself or being a Guinea pig.
This came from Dr. Barke's portion of the article, but yes, that is true. Of oourse, the new "rules" were made with neither the intention nor the actual possibility of improving anyone's health. That was simply a ruse for the nefarious aim all along--control of the population.
There is some soggy irony in that they are likely the same people up in arms about straws and sea turtlea and ignore the ecological impact of mass mask wearing. Before I left NYC I saw dog feces on sidewalk with a blue medical mask wrapped inside as the dog ate it and left it behind with the poo.
Oh man this sucks, I'm disappointed to read this article, you perpetuating this false virus contagion theory - fear based in my opinion. I was so impressed after listening to your interview with Jason Christoff regarding the psychological aspects of this plandemic (why I subscribed to your substack). The way you explained things really hit the mark. By the way, Jason does not believe that viruses exist and I'm curious if you touched on this subject with him. I noticed another person commented about virology being a fake science and I agree. Your reply asked "What do you believe causes infectious disease, if not a virus?" To be honest, I'm not even sure if there are such things as infectious diseases but there most definitely could be other explanations as to why groups of people all experience symptoms at the same time, such as exposure to poisons, pheromones, bio-resonance, etc. Based on my research cold/flu symptoms are the body's way of detoxing (removing toxic build up) and when in this state can trigger others who also need to detox. I truly believe that we do not need to fear so called invisible mirco particles floating through the air. It's all about the terrain, what we put in and on our bodies as well as supporting our body's natural detoxification systems. Amandha Vollmer is a wealth of knowledge about the terrain theory and supporting the body in natural ways to promote self-healing. Empower yourself with this knowledge!
I find it odd to receive criticism that implies that I don't support the individual's role in maintaining good health. That has been at the core of my work in both psychiatry and physical medicine. I also agree that there has been an overemphasis (likely through financial corruption) on external "cures" for disease, including vaccines and surgeries. What I reject, though, is the notion that infectious disease simply does not exist. One can acknowledge the existence of disease that is transmitted to people from other organisms (people, animals, insects, and plants) while also recognizing that a person's health is largely determined by what he does to support it: sleep, diet, exercise, etc. Also, no matter how healthy a person is, he is still at risk of contracting disease, which is where the role of interventional medicine comes in. Antibiotics and surgery, although often misused, have also saved countless lives. I believe in using every tool available and not throwing the baby out with the bathwater.
One of my friends is an elderly medical doctor who is terrified of Covid. She is a specialist in masking and ventilation and was in charge of reducing infection on all movie sets in NYC. She claimed virtual 100% success in preventing Covid with N95 masks for all participants, constant testing and isolation of symptomatic people or people who tested positive, social distancing. The crew were 100% masked all the time. The actors weren't masked during the time they were filmed. She denies the Cochrane review because 1)The results were inconclusive--even according to the authors and 2)The results only mean that mask MANDATES don't reduce Covid infection. Yes, compliance is necessary. Yes, a properly fit N95 mask is necessary. It will prevent Covid infection providing everyone wears it. She confesses she lives in terror that she or her 95 year old husband will be reinfected with Covid due to the laxness of our Covid policies in NY. She also believes that policies need to be stringent enough to protect the elderly--even if that means that all younger people must continue to mask.
I agreed that studies that fail to find a correlation between imposed mask mandates and drops in Covid deaths are failing because of insufficient differences between the mask mandate times and the non mandate times. Furthermore, only a properly fitting N95 mask should be used. I did say that mandating N95 masks will never work because they are too expensive and many people can't afford them.
My two doctor friends stated the studies I site are pure garbage and the reason vaccinated people are more likely to die from Covid is because they are older--so are dying of old age. Age is a confounding variable--otherwise it would be seen that vaccination is protective due to decreasing risk of death/hospitalization. I pointed out article on "Healthy User Bias" that showed vaccinated were MORE likely to be healthy so age can NOT account for failure of vaccines.
I pointed out another study which examined entire population not just a sample. (Was this Rancourt's study of correlation between vaccination and covid deaths?) They argued that the statistics reflected sampling bias. I stated the study was based on the entire population (based on death records) so represented true differences for each country.
They stated that I was cherry picking studies to prove my point at that I knew nothing about epidemiology. (I worked in department of psychiatry at Columbia University for 12 years doing epidemiological research, I completed 2 courses in epidemiology at IPAK-EDU (One doctor renamed Dr. Jack's university to EPECAC edu. (I thought this was funny)
When I cited Denis Rancourt's research showing that excess mortality increased after vaccinations were rolled out, they stated that many other causes of deaths can explain away this finding. One doctor was outraged that parents are beginning to avoid childhood vaccines such as measles--a highly infectious lethal virus that needs for everyone to be vaccinated against it to insure herd immunity. Idiots! He stated. I forwarded Dr. Jack's paper showing that measles vaccinations are not protective of infants/elderly and not long lasting so are transferring burden of measles to those whose immune systems are least likely to cope with the infection. They dismissed these findings because the articles I cite were not published in the most trustworthy journals such as Lancet, NEJM, BJM, JAMA, etc. I replied the scientists are censored. They replied censorship is a myth the major medical journals support the efficacy and value of mRNA vaccines and our current Covid policies.
We have all remained friends. I have been completely transparent that I am personally terrified of vaccines since I"m homozygous for MTHFR and I've had bad, traumatizing experiences with medical treatment that encourage me to be untrusting of medical authorities. One doctor states that because she has a degree in chemistry, she can check the chemical elements in each drug she takes and reject those that are harmful. She recommends the same strategy to me.. All doctors dismiss my experiences with vitamin C. I suffered from chronic respiratory infections--including a flu that disabled me for months. I had 3 or 4 cases of pneumonia--one lasting several weeks in the hospital when I was 18. And yet I have not had a single respiratory infection since I started taking high dose (bowel tolerance) vitamin C in 1983. I also cured my husband's sepsis with 40 daily grams of vitamin C--equivalent of intravenous C recommended by Dr. Paul Mark.
I see my role as provoking thought and showing there do exist scientists who publish medical journal articles critical of vaccines, masking, social distancing. One friend moved to Australia to avoid having his hospital mandate how he could treat people. He states Australia is wonderful because there is no dissent and everybody realizes the dangers of failing to quarantine/mask/restrict freedom of the unvaccinated in quarantine housing. I forwarded videos of police brutality and non violent protestors being brutally assaulted with night sticks. One elderly small woman thrown to the ground and kicked. They replied this was only a small minority and not representative.
It's a pretty much safe space. I don't mind being discredited because my doctorate is in sociology--not an MD or degree in hard science or epidemiology. I'm using our email interchange as a test of my ability to take intellectual rejection. I did manage to red pill my biochemist friend who now is joining me in forwarding critiques of mRNA. He doesn't believe that aluminum is toxic, so he's become a kind of peer reviewer for Dr. Exeley's research. I think that's great! He's forced to read closely the opposition and so become infected with the opposing viewpoint. He actually made some good points that might improve the research.
OK I wrote this post all from memory. Perhaps I'm not a demented nut? (I'm 80 yr. old with some cognitive impairment so I can't really lookup or read all the references. I suspect it wouldn't make much difference even if I did.
Your experience proves my point that information is not the problem--it's the capacity to think for oneself. Most Americans are simply incapable of it today, or they refuse to. We are rapidly approaching an inflection point, where society will simply collapse under the weight of reality, despite all the efforts of the non-thinkers to sustain their fantasies in the face of actual truth.
All of this is true, but begs the question why Los Angeles hospitals, nursing facilities and doctor's offices continue to enforce mask requirements for staff and often for visitors. The management of these places are presumably not motivated by fear, compliance, or political signaling.
It is more than a little unsettling to walk through these multi-million-dollar temples of science, surrounded by cutting-edge technology, only to see highly educated doctors and nurses all wearing superstitious totems on their faces. Who wants to put their life in the hands of a physician dumb enough to believe masks can stop viruses? Or are they all well aware that masks are useless, and simply afraid to step out of line?
This is a good question, as it reveals an anomaly to what is going on everywhere else. I don't have an answer I am confident in, but I wonder if this is coming from the corporate legal development. You see it mainly in large bureaucratic medical centers rather than independent or small group practices--UCLA, Cedars Sinai, Providence. It may be a CYA maneuver.
Spot on!
The delusional puppets are getting even dumber, while proudly displaying their face-diaper-flag.
The constant rebreathing of CO2 --with less oxygen-- is bound to kill more of their dwindling brain cells. -->Dumbocrats<--
Virology is not a real science
What do you believe causes infectious disease, if not a virus?
If not a virus, symptoms can be caused by toxic chemicals such as DDT for polio or bacteria for rabies, pneumonia, etc. But I think Shalet may be thinking of terrain theory?

Learn terrain theory and see the faulty premise that virology rest on even on its own terms. See Sam Bailey on substack

Consistency is not their strong point.
Masks slow-kill you with CO2.
