This post is a ‘thinking out loud’ post. If you have any ideas to add or corrections to make, please do so. If I find or am notified that some of these assumptions have been backed by reliable science and/or research (if such a thing exists) I will update the post.
There are times when accepting certain premises is acceptable without demanding that they be proven to each and every person who takes up the study or discipline or who is dependent on the product of that discipline.
Engineers design and/or build bridges. Forces, material tolerances, load bearing, etc. are well established and are proven by the fact that people use bridges every day with bridge failure a rare occurrence. The physics and mathematics are shared across countries and cultures.
This makes sense as the natural forces that impact bridges in one country are typically the same in any other, with perhaps variations depending on the composition of the earth in each locale or the particularities of the elements of wind, sun and water that may impinge upon the resilience and longevity of a bridge.
Assumptions Regarding Viruses, Contagion and Society’s Response
The following list are assumptions that I assert are made by those who maintain the narrative that pathogenic viruses are loose out in the world and causing harm:
Viruses exist
We could stop here until direct proof is provided, but let us continue to see how many more assumptions we must make for this to make sense.Viruses are transmissible from one being to another, i.e. they can survive outside the body of one animal long enough until they, by chance, are picked up by another
Once they make it into the body, then then make it into the cell.
We are told this is via a cell receptor, in the case of SARS-COV2 the ACE2 receptor.
Cells indiscriminately make copies of random RNA that makes its way into the cell.
They cause disease or harm to the host, presumably by replicating so many copies of themselves that the cell bursts. All the copies then proceed to infect another cell to continue the process.
If each cell releases thousands (or millions) of copies in a exponential fashion, it wouldn’t take long to destroy the body completely. Even starting with just 1 virus infecting one cell and doubling each time, it would only take 30 iterations to destroy one billion cells.
If each iteration took one minute, we should be dead in less than one hour. One online source states that bacteria can divide in 20 minutes. If each viral particle created only one other, it would take 600 minutes or 10 hours to create one billion particles. For a video of the math, see:This would equate to death in less than 20 hours if the cells had all the resources they would need to replicate that many copies of the virus
The reason we are not dead is the immune system slows and hopefully stops this process. It would have to act very quickly though as it is a race against the math of viral replication. It could also be the case that the body does not have enough resources to make that many copies of the virus and replication could only continue after the next meal and only then, if the right elements could be digested and then utilized by the virus replicating process
These genetic fragments make their way from one being to another whether it be human to human or animal to human (zoonotic)
If the SARS-COV2 virus was isolated from a sick patient and its entire genome were sequenced it would match one of the variants created in silico (in the computer)
The PCR test which only looks for one, two or three genes of the supposed SARS-COV2 genome is accurate in diagnosing disease. The tests themselves, as well as Kary Mullis, inventor of the PCR test have stated the tests are not to be used for diagnosis.
Someone who tests positive but is asymptomatic can still transmit the virus to others.
Masks prevent particles that are small enough to pass through masks from entering the body
Reducing interaction among people will reduce spread of the genetic fragments.
This is an example of a compound assumption. That is, it relies on more than one assumption listed above.COVID-19 is a separate and distinct disease.
It is dangerous to repurpose already approved drugs as they have not been tested for this new and distinct disease.
The mRNA genetic treatments can be considered vaccines
It is ok to change the definition of vaccine to accommodate genetic therapies as the purpose is close enough: to stop viral infections
It is ok for vaccines to skip to the head of the line for approval without the usual timeline for approval which takes many years
It is ok to approve vaccines that have been redefined due to the ongoing medical/social emergency that is maintained with dubious tests.
It is ok to continue to call genetic therapy a vaccine even if it doesn’t stop viral infections. This is known as a leaky vaccine, in other words, one that doesn’t work very well, if at all.
If viruses don’t create disease, what assumptions must be made?
The following are largely assumptions made by proponents of Terrain Theory. Due to my bias towards terrain theory, this list is much shorter, but if more comes to mind, I will add it.
The body goes through a cleansing operation when it deems necessary which appears to us as illness
There could be cases of resonance which look like physical contagion but are only contagion in the same way one tuning fork can resonate with another
There could be mental/spiritual causes of disease on a group level which looks like contagion on the physical level
Nutritional deficiencies could look like contagion, i.e. scurvy. Vitamin B3 (niacin), C and D have all been mentioned, but research is scarce
Electromagnetic radiation could look like contagion if numerous people are in the same vicinity and are exposed to similar degrees
A good scientist will periodically look at the assumptions made if there are things which don’t appeal to a thinking or caring person. While this may not be the case with what is considered well established science like that which explains gravity, this is certainly the case with virology, vaccinology and the cause of disease.
Part of the challenge is that solutions in terms of recovery from disease are often very personal. One size fits all such as everyone getting a flu shot or Covid shot are not eradicating the flu or Covid, unless of course we stop testing for one or the other. Where did the flu go?
