lewrockwell--2020-10-31--Missing and Unproven Viruses: This Is Nothing New

As I keep making the case that the SARS-CoV-2 virus has not been proven to exist , I ’ m also making this point : There is no honest and prolonged mainstream debate on this issue , and there has to be .
Reputable journals should be opening up their pages to such a debate from all comers , and they aren ’ t .
They ’ re ignoring , side-stepping , and suppressing a debate .
This is not science .
It ’ s not even a shadow of science .
And the COVID virus is not the first @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
If more people understood that , they wouldn ’ t be so shocked .
Here are several cases from recent history : In the early part of the 20th century , a very nasty skin disease called pellagra took hold in the American South , affecting several million people .
AIDS Inc. Rappoport , Jon Best Price : $ 33.29 Buy New $ 18.89 The elite medical view , of course : a germ was the cause .
But no one could find it in the ensuing decades .
Finally , a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ pursuing a different course , convinced the establishment that the true cause was a niacin deficiency .
In the 1960s and 70s , Japan experienced a strange nervous-system affliction labeled SMON .
Again the clarion call was : find the virus , it must be a virus .
But no , in a landmark court case , the cause was shown to be a gastrointestinal drug , clioquinol , manufactured by Ciba-Geigy .
The company apologized and paid out damages .
Since then , some research has suggested that clioquinol fails to explain @ @ @ @ @ @ @ 2003 .
During the height of hysteria in Canada about this flu-like illness , famous WHO researcher , Frank Plummer , wandered off the reservation and told the press that fewer and fewer SARS patients showed any sign of having the virus—in fact , the percentage was shrinking to zero .
Therefore : what virus ?
Swine Flu , 2009 .
As I detailed in a recent article , CBS investigative reporter Sharyl Attkisson uncovered the fact that the CDC had secretly stopped counting cases , because the overwhelming percentage of patients ’ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ no sign of the Swine Flu virus or any other flu virus .
HIV , first announced as the cause of AIDS in 1984 , has been challenged by a number of independent researchers .
I have published Christine Johnson ’ s explosive and detailed interview with Eleni Papadopulos , “ a biophysicist and leader of a group of HIV/AIDS scientists from Perth in Western Australia.
” The subject ?
Does HIV exist ?
I ’ m reprinting my article and the Papadopulos interview below .
There are other illnesses in which the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ : for example , polio and the Swine Flu of the 1970s .
Mainstream and independent investigators should also be aware there are analogous “ missing causes ” within the medical framework .
The most egregious example is certainly psychiatry .
Following the breakthrough work of psychiatrist Peter Breggin , I ’ ve written extensively on this subject .
In a nutshell , there are NO defining lab tests for ANY of the 300 so-called mental disorders .
Every one of these disorders is arbitrarily assembled by committees of psychiatrists , from menus @ @ @ @ @ @ @ far from science as you can get .
Is there an open and honest prolonged debate about this stunning situation in the psychiatric literature ?
Absolutely not .

Best Price : $ 16.83 Buy New $ 15.95 Before we get to Christine Johnson ’ s interview , a bit of background .
My first book , AIDS INC. , was published in 1988 .
The research I engaged in then formed @ @ @ @ @ @ @ exposing the vast fraud called COVID-19 .
In 1987-88 , my main question eventually became : does HIV cause AIDS ?
For months , I had blithely assumed the obvious answer was yes .
This created havoc in my investigation , because I was facing contradictions I couldn ’ t solve .
For example , in parts of Africa , people who were chronically ill and dying obviously needed no push from a new virus .
All their “ AIDS ” conditions and symptoms could be explained by their environment : contaminated water @ @ @ @ @ @ @ drinking water ; protein-calorie malnutrition ; hunger , starvation ; medical treatment with immunosuppressive vaccines and drugs ; toxic pesticides ; fertile farm land stolen by corporations and governments ; wars ; extreme poverty .
The virus cover story actually obscured all these ongoing crimes .
Finally , in the summer of 1987 , I found several researchers who were rejecting the notion that HIV caused AIDS .
Their reports were persuasive .
I ’ m shortcutting a great deal of my 1987-8 investigation here , but once HIV was out of the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ into place .
I discovered that , in EVERY group supposedly at “ high-risk ” for AIDS , their conditions and symptoms could be entirely explained by factors that had nothing to do with a new virus .
AIDS was not one condition .
It was an umbrella label , used to re-package a number of immunosuppressive conditions and create the illusion of a new and unique and single “ pandemic.
” Several years after the publication of AIDS INC , I became aware of a quite different emerging debate going on under @ @ @ @ @ @ @ EXIST ?

How should they isolate it ?
What are the correct steps ?
These questions , and their answers , reside at @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , overwhelmingly , doctors never explore them or even consider them .
Johnson interviews Dr. Eleni Papadopulos , “ a biophysicist and leader of a group of HIV/AIDS scientists from Perth in Western Australia .
Over the past decade and more she and her colleagues have published many scientific papers questioning the HIV/AIDS hypothesis… ” Here I ’ m publishing and highlighting excerpts from the interview .
Technical issues are discussed .
Grasping them is not the easiest exercise you ’ ve ever done , but I believe the serious reader can comprehend @ @ @ @ @ @ @ There is no proof that HIV causes AIDS .
EP : For many reasons , but most importantly , because there is no proof that HIV exists .
… CJ : Didn ’ t Luc Montagnier and Robert Gallo [ purportedly the co-discoverers of HIV ] isolate HIV back in the early eighties ?
EP : No .
In the papers published in Science by those two research groups , there is no proof of the isolation of a retrovirus from AIDS patients .
[ HIV is said to be a retrovirus .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ isolate a virus .
Follow the Money : The ... Bongino , Dan Buy New $ 25.20 EP : Our interpretation of the data differs .
To prove the existence of a virus you need to do three things .
First , culture cells and find a particle you think might be a virus .
Obviously , at the very least , that particle should look like a virus .
Second , you have to devise a method to get that particle on its own so you can take it to pieces and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Then you need to prove the particle can make faithful copies of itself .
In other words , that it can replicate .
CJ : Can ’ t you just look down a microscope and say there ’ s a virus in the cultures ?
EP : No , you can ’ t .
Not all particles that look like viruses are viruses .
… CJ : My understanding is that high-speed centrifugation is used to produce samples consisting exclusively of objects having the same density , a so-called “ density-purified sample.
” @ @ @ @ @ @ @ these density-purified samples consist of objects which all have the same appearance — in which case the sample is an isolate — and if this appearance matches that of a retrovirus , in terms of size , shape , and so forth .
If all this is true , then you are three steps into the procedure for obtaining a retroviral isolate .
( 1 ) You have an isolate , and the isolate consists of objects with the same ( 2 ) density and ( 3 ) appearance of a retrovirus .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ further , to see if the objects in it contain reverse transcriptase [ an enzyme ] and will replicate when placed in new cultures .
Only then can you rightfully declare that you have obtained a retroviral isolate .
EP : Exactly .
It was discovered that retroviral particles have a physical property which enables them to be separated from other material in cell cultures .
That property is their buoyancy , or density , and this was utilized to purify the particles by a process called density gradient centrifugation .
The technology @ @ @ @ @ @ @ extremely simple .
You prepare a test tube containing a solution of sucrose , ordinary table sugar , made so the solution is light at the top but gradually becomes heavier , or more dense , towards the bottom .
Meanwhile , you grow whatever cells you think may contain your retrovirus .
If you ’ re right , retroviral particles will be released from the cells and pass into the culture fluids .
When you think everything is ready , you decant a specimen of culture fluids and gently place a drop @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Then you spin the test tube at extremely high speeds .
This generates tremendous forces , and particles present in that drop of fluid are forced through the sugar solution until they reach a point where their buoyancy prevents them from penetrating any further .
In other words , they drift down the density gradient until they reach a spot where their own density is the same as that region of the sugar solution .
When they get there they stop , all together .
To use virological jargon , that ’ s @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a characteristic point .
In sucrose solutions they band at a point where the density is 1.16 gm/ml .
That band can then be selectively extracted and photographed with an electron microscope .
The picture is called an electron micrograph , or EM .
The electron microscope enables particles the size of retroviruses to be seen , and to be characterized by their appearance .
CJ : So , examination with the electron microscope tells you what fish you ’ ve caught ?
EP : Not only that .
It ’ s the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ve caught a fish .
Or anything at all .
CJ : Did Montagnier and Gallo do this ?
EP : This is one of the many problems .
Montagnier and Gallo did use density gradient banding , but for some unknown reason they did not publish any Ems [ photos ] of the material at 1.16 gm/ml…this is quite puzzling because in 1973 the Pasteur Institute hosted a meeting attended by scientists , some of whom are now amongst the leading HIV experts .
At that meeting the method of retroviral isolation @ @ @ @ @ @ @ 1.16 band of the density gradient was considered absolutely essential .
CJ : But Montagnier and Gallo did publish photographs of virus particles .
EP : No .
Montagnier and Gallo published electron micrographs of culture fluids that had not been centrifuged , or even separated from the culture cells , for that matter .
These EMs contained , in addition to many other things , including the culture cells and other things that clearly are not retroviruses , a few particles which Montagnier and Gallo claimed are retroviruses , and which all @ @ @ @ @ @ @ now called HIV .
But photographs of unpurified particles don ’ t prove that those particles are viruses .
The existence of HIV was not established by Montagnier and Gallo — or anyone since — using the method presented at the 1973 meeting .
CJ : And what was that method ?
EP : All the steps I have just told you .
The only scientific method that exists .
Culture cells , find a particle , isolate the particle , take it to pieces , find out what ’ s inside , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to make more of the same with the same constituents when they ’ re added to a culture of uninfected cells .
CJ : So before AIDS came along there was a well-tried method for proving the existence of a retrovirus , but Montagnier and Gallo did not follow this method ?
EP : They used some of the techniques , but they did not undertake every step including proving what particles , if any , are in the 1.16 gm/ml band of the density gradient , the density that defines retroviral particles @ @ @ @ @ @ @ pictures ?
EP : Montagnier ’ s and Gallo ’ s electron micrographs…are of entire cell cultures , or of unpurified fluids from cultures… ” If you grasp the essentials of this discussion , you ’ ll see there is every reason to doubt the existence of HIV , because the methods for proving its existence were not followed .
And so…as I ’ ve reported these past few months , there is every reason to doubt and reject the existence of the COVID virus , since correct large-scale electron microscope studies have @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Christine Johnson interview , and other similar information , in mind when , for example , I explored the dud epidemics called SARS and 2009 Swine Flu .
How many viruses have been named as causes of disease , when in fact those viruses have never been isolated or proved to exist ?
Of course , conventional-consensus researchers and doctors will scoff at any attempt to raise these issues .
For them , “ the science is settled.
” Meaning : they don ’ t want to think .
They don ’ t @ @ @ @ @ @ @ 30 years working as a reporter in the area of deep medical-research fraud , I ’ ve seen that false science occurs in levels .
The deeper you go , the stranger it gets .
To put it another way : the deeper you go , the worse it gets .

But the Biden family grifting story has a life of its own, and the story is that the Democratic Party’s candidate for president would not survive a month in office before being dragged through some dreadful legal proceeding as a threat to national security, having sold himself to the rulers of several foreign countries, all too neatly documented to ignore.
For now, with the news media covering for him, Mr. Biden has managed to duck the story without refuting the authenticity of the evidence, namely, troves of genuine emails and texts between the principals of the various companies set up (in Delaware!) by his son, Hunter Biden, naming the former vice-president as an informed accomplice in schemes to sell his “services” to all comers. And he came pretty cheap, too, considering that the tens of millions proffered was mere walking-around-money to the CCP-connected Chinese billionaires, and others, who sought the deals. They even sent Hunter a hundred-large just “to buy a car.” (Did he get a Chevy Spark and blow the change up his nose, as was his wont, I wonder?) TrailBuddy Lightweight...

The now infamous “Laptop from Hell” left behind brainlessly by Hunter in a Delaware repair shop apparently contains a parallel trove of photos and videos self-chronicling the scion’s sordid private life — sex, drugs, etc. — suggesting that he has set himself up as the perfect target for blackmailing operations. And goodness knows what Chinese intel on its own initiative recorded him doing in the hotels there (with amenities supplied) on his many visits to their land. Said laptop was also, it turns out, in the possession of the FBI as far back as the impeachment preliminaries in Adam Schiff’s House Intel Committee, fall of 2019. Since it was full of material counter-evidence about the issue at hand — the president’s phone call to Ukraine’s President Zelensky vis-a-vis the Biden family’s shady doings in that country — the question arises of how deep was the FBI’s complicity in the impeachment ruse?
Could FBI Director Christopher Wray not have known of the laptop’s existence when it came into the agency? I doubt it. Could Mr. Wray have concealed the information from Attorney General Barr? Yes, quite possibly. In the meantime, Mr. Barr has not said a word about the entire Biden pay-for-play / laptop extravaganza. I imagine he’s chewing the office furniture at Main Justice in a fury over it with the election pending, and his duty to avoid influencing the outcome. Mr. Trump has felt a little freer to share the wicked business with the public in his campaign appearances, setting the table for a banquet of consequences when the election is over.

If it can be gotten over, since the Democrats have made no secret of their elaborate plan to confound the results with post November 3 ballot harvesting and Lawfare shenanigans in the swing states — to be accompanied by riots staged by their Antifa and BLM shock troops. I think the idea is to provoke Mr. Trump to call out US troops to quell the riots, thereby opening him up to accusations of being a tyrant. I suspect the Dems will overplay their hand on that trick, since a sizable portion of the public that has not collectively lost its mind is good and goddam sick of riots, arson, destruction of property, and the looting capers that go with them. Mr. Trump has overcome every adversity thrown in his path for four years, and I believe he will get through this final tribulation, beep-beep. And then the games can begin in earnest.
Mr. Biden apparently changed his mind about “putting a lid” on the last week of his campaign and strayed out of his basement in what looks like a desperate effort to dispel the odium hanging over him. He might as well just paint a big “L” on his forehead. Thursday evening, he was onstage in Tampa, angry and fulminating to his usual sparse audience, when the skies opened. The audience peeled away in the pouring rain and so did Joe Biden after only nineteen minutes of bitter vituperation, the perfect picture of loserdom… Captain Queeg meets Willie Loman… without the charm.

On the cultural war front, France and Turkey, both members of the NATO alliance, are trading national insults over a crackdown on Islamists by President Emmanuel Macron after a Chechen Muslim beheaded a French teacher who used the Charlie Hebdo cartoons of the prophet as examples of protected speech and press freedoms in secular France.
Macron’s perceived attacks on Islam triggered a personal insult from Turkey’s President Erdogan. This led to the recall of the French ambassador to Turkey. The clash over the blasphemous cartoons and the beheading of the teacher have provoked anti-French demonstrations across the Muslim world.
In the latest affront, Charlie Hebdo published a cartoon of Erdogan lifting the burqa of a woman, similar to the cartoon of the prophet that precipitated the 2015 massacre at the Paris offices of Charlie Hebdo.
European nations are lining up behind France, while the leaders of Muslim nations such as Bangladesh and Pakistan are damning the French for tolerating the ridicule of their religious beliefs.
“I disapprove of what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it,” Voltaire is said to have responded to Rousseau.
That may reflect French values. But, as Kipling wrote, “East is East, and West is West, and never the twain shall meet, Till Earth and Sky stand presently at God’s great Judgment Seat.”

The Cult of the Brave New Normal

In March , it was just a three-week lockdown , to flatten the curve so as not to overwhelm the NHS .
The narrative has quickly evolved .
It has progressed from what seemed a reasonable idea of keeping NHS bed space free based on the completely false Neil Fergusson prediction that hospitals would be overwhelmed by patients suffering from COVID19 .
This never happened .
Many weeks passed where face masks were not needed and then suddenly in July , long after the majority of supposed COVID19 deaths had occurred , face masks were made compulsory .
Indeed , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of Chris Whitty and the World Health Organisation was that face masks were not effective in stopping the spread of COVID19 or in contracting it ; science does not change that quick – anyone who tells you otherwise is a liar .
The result is that we have now fallen deep into a Covidian Cult , a totalitarian psychotic narrative that has little connection to reality or to the facts .
