Credible information has surfaced - Covid-19 may have been a man made virus

The information in question has come to light through Freedom of Information activity, and I'm simply going to let the experts explain what is coming to light.

First up is Dr John Campbell who summarizes what this is about and where it currently stands:

Whistleblower Lifts the Lid on “False” Alzheimer’s Research

Did you guys see this? (link)


Quotes from the article:

According to Science magazine‘s investigation, the images the paper used to support this conclusion — as well as images in other studies on the Aβ*56 subtype by Lesné — appear to have been doctored to exaggerate the protein’s part in the development of Alzheimer’s.

and

it was concerning that it hadn’t been possible for researchers to replicate Lesné’s findings in other studies

and

The potential reach of this kind of deception is hard to comprehend. Lesné’s research — and the direct connection it seemed to demonstrate between amyloids and Alzheimer’s — proved incredibly influential. The Nature paper has been cited in over 2,200 other academic papers, and provoked significant interest in the Aβ*56 protein as a target for Alzheimer’s treatment. According to Science, the NIH funneled about $1.6 billion into projects involving amyloids in this fiscal year — “about half its overall Alzheimer’s funding.”

Me again:
Well, yeah​, science is all about multiple replications of the original study. Perhaps the more interesting question is how all this funding got approved with no replication studies to base it on? Could it have anything to do with a mad rush to profit? BigP out of control?

Another quote from the article:

According to Daily Kos, about 100 out of 130 Alzheimer’s drugs currently in trials are designed to attack these amyloids. In 2021, the FDA approved yet another such medicine, Aduhelm. The $56,000-per-year drug from Biogen is so expensive that it’s expected to inflate premiums for 60 million Medicare enrollees.

And me again:
It's also been known for ​years that there are many with extensive amyloid plaques with no symptoms of Alzheimer's, and many with no amyloid plaques with progressed degrees of Alzheimer's.

That, combined with no successful replication studies, is concerning.

​However, there is potential for a new direction of study in the understanding of the cause of Alzheimer's. (link)


​And if this proves up over the next decade or so the health damaging ​potential of refined fats may join refined sugar in the overall understanding of the cause of all the chronic conditions that afflict post industrial humans.

Humm. There are already thousands of MD's who've broken ranks with BigP by reversing these common chronic conditions with little more than dietary change that depends mostly on the elimination of all refined foods. That, and getting victims off of their meds. Humm.

How is it they know what most others do not? Well, science is slow, "weight of the evidence" is a foundation principle that should not be hijacked for any reason.

Meanwhile, can we trust what is self-evident? The bottom line is pretty simple: when the autophagy function (the body heals itself) no longer has to fight the mountain of sludge modern humans put into their bodies disease reversals are quick and painless.

And if we grew up that way would Alzheimer's disease even be a concern?

Yes, chronic disease reversals can be quick and painless, but there is one temporary side effect: we have to come to understand that we are literally addicted to toxic substances engineered to be completely irresistible and go through some level of withdrawal. This is more difficult for some than others, and a supervised fast is a great way to do this for anyone kicking the habit.

We also have to come to understand the significance of "food science" that has become expert in creating substances that are both irresistible, highly toxic, and not coincidentally, highly profitable to both the food science industry and BigP who "treats" these conditions with other toxic substances that prolong the conditions into early death of the victims - two wrongs don't make a right was never truer.

Victims? Well, yes, but we don't need a conspiracy theory to explain this collective health disaster, we only need an understanding of the unconscious mind. "It's difficult to get a man to understand a thing when his salary depends on his not understanding it". (Upton Sinclair)

We also need an understanding that chronic diseases are really not normal. That they are normal is base camp at the mountain of misinformation food science, BigP, and the healthcare industry depend on to maintain the status quo, which is, in capital terms, continually increasing profits...grow or die.

These industries do not understand (for the most part) this mountain of misinformation is in fact misinformation. We are truly now in the Orwellian age, but too close to it to see it.

Let's gain some perspective: the double edged blade of science and technology causes equal amounts of regression and progression, and this problem remains mostly unseen and misunderstood. It does not have to be this way, we can individually, and with our families and friends, find our way to a better understanding of the cause of health.

The Problem with Fiscal Irresponsibility

This is a different kind of "health post", but one similar and indicative of the problem with a wrong way health care system that is nonetheless used by DC as the primary driver of the economy.

Stan Druckenmiller will not be a familiar name to many, but who is known as one of the more "common sense" (and successful) investment managers in history.

Natural Disasters cannot be prevented with Man Made Interventions

Natural disasters cannot be prevented with man made interventions. How do we stop a volcano from erupting? A tidal wave from coming ashore? Earthquakes? Hurricanes and tornados?

How do we stop ecological devastation and (what is said by experts to be) the 6th Mass Extinction? The argument is "we created this, we can stop it". This makes some sense until we ask the question: 

Is human behavior itself a natural phenomena?

We humans tend to see ourselves as separate from nature because of technology. But is it true? Certainly not in terms of "big nature" (volcanos, hurricanes etc). Or even true in terms of "little nature"? (Pandemics, heart disease, cancer). Not really, but we prefer to live in a state of delusion regarding little nature.

Pharmacology is the quintessential example of this. How might we be deluded relative to pharmacology? Pandemics might be an example. 

It is said by the majority of expert epidemiologists and virologists that viral pandemics spread with the suddenness and rapidity of a Tsunami coming ashore. Developing technological interventions takes time, at that point natural immunity and population immunity has spread sufficiently to reduce "pandemic" to "endemic". If that weren't true our species would have ceased existence in it's very early stages.

But we don't think of that, and this is part of the delusion.

By the time we've identified a viral disease of pandemic proportion, and then developed the intervention, natural individual and community immunity have been developing. Do the technologists who develop the interventions calculate what percentage of the intervention was actually caused by nature's community immunity? If they do we haven't heard about it. And anyway, what fun would that be? How could we smugly pat our selves on the back if that were the case?

The delusion we humans are so fond of is we are separate from nature, and even above nature.

Let's take the very recent example of the pandemic into account. It's now been publicly admitted by health authorities the intervention did not stop infection or spread. It is still said total deaths were reduced, but earthquake sized fissures in that narrative have formed, although not yet publicly acknowledged.

That one will perhaps never be acknowledged. Think of all the political negatives the destruction of that particular delusion would create: loss of faith in public health authorities and politicians, not to mention the trillions in future profits up in smoke.

Health care is the single biggest source of revenue for the US: if we think the economy is shaky now, what would we think if a significant portion of national revenue disappeared?

"Trade-off" is also a formal economic term. What should we call the trade-off of population health for economic "health"?

Tragic? Stupid? At the very least a contradiction in terms, and in the worst case skating down the slippery slope toward implosion.

Loss of faith in public health authorities? I think that horse is already out of the barn. What can be done about that?

Take control of your own health, it does not come out of drugs (legal or otherwise), bottles, boxes, packages or pills.

Paleos and Whole Food Plant Based people all agree... consume only fresh whole nutritious foods. And remember: feel good feels better than tastes good tastes.

Why does the US allow a controversial weed killer banned across the world?

A good friend sent an article of that title published in The Guardian. I'm not sure this article will be behind a paywall or not, in my experience some are and other aren't.

https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2022/oct/28/paraquat-weedkiller-epa-ban?CMP=Share_iOSApp_Other

If you can't see it (it is very good BTW) I will try and relay the gist of it here: Another common sense look into the world of US regulation of "foods" and chemical substances, with industry profits on one side and population health on the other...guess who the winner of that boxing match is?

A reminder, I frequently enclose the word "food" in quotes to remind us that most of what we consume today is hard pressed to qualify as actual food. IMHO tastes good and filling does not equal "healthy" unless one is referring to fruits and vegetables. The more clear it becomes to me as a result of my own health that fruits and vegetables are optimum people food, the more confused and conflicted the world seems to become about which foods are the true "cause of health".

What is the cause of health? Primarily the absence of toxins entering the body, and the entry of balanced nutrition. It's not complicated, but the avalanche of (very profitable!) disinformation swamps the voices of reason and common sense who do not have the power of industrial profits behind them.

Second best to a whole foods fruit and vegetable diet is any whole foods diet. In other words if the only thing you do is to eliminate "foods" that have an ingredients list attached the better off you will be for it.

So: why do we allow industrial toxic pollutants into our food supply at all? The answer can be found in this paragraph I found in an investment letter titled "Nine Billion Reasons to Invest in Agrochemical Innovation".

The common solution for all these infestations is chemical control... broadspectrum insecticides – such as pyrethroids, neonicotinoids, and organophosphates – that target and kill a wide range of insects, including entire groups or species. And while the use of chemical compounds poses risks to human health and the environment, it's the lesser of two evils for folks facing frequent food shortages.

Ah ha, the reason is because we have to kill off huge swaths of nature-ecology in order for us nine billion humans to survive. There just isn't enough room on the planet for both of us. By that logic we will only truly be thriving when we've wiped out all of nature-ecology.

Are we talking billions of humans or billions of dollars?

But no worries! When we've wiped out all of nature we can go to Mars! Hey, rocks are nature too...who needs biology?

Oh, and by the way, the next big investment trend is artificial biology. OK, now we can go to Mars.
