Your "Background" section is fun.

It was fun to write. Both for the intrinsic sexual tension, and for the challenge of dropping hints of a harem-like-environment without disparaging Qasmieh’s bold and valuable work.

When I find myself laughing over an article on covid, it's really something special. Thanks.

So, perhaps, Ba.5 is a "boosted people variant"

It would help if time from last dose was given for the "fully" group. If it's tolerance, the third/fourth doses must be making things worse but the >5 month 2nd-dosed should look bad as well; unless they were predominately more recently infected. Ah, that could be it - a Simpson's within the "Fully" group

Just want to remind, that antibody test for 'SARS-cov-2' means NOTHING, completely unspecific, unless the real symptoms actually indicate some sort of illness/cold/flu. Any old style corona virus infection with almost 90% IDENTITY of those old SARS viruses could have produced exactly one of those IgG, IGA, IgM major antibodies and their subtypes. One has to remember the just few sorts of antibodies were produced against ALL PREVIOUS DISEASES in the entire human live, until WHO/CDC changed the definitions of everything and now we have 'specific covid' antobodies...!!!

And now covid PCR: it is officially ~40* times amplified ~16-24 nucleotide long piece of DNA(!!, not even RNA...) translated by polymerase from the present RNA virus which has ~30000 of the nucleotides enclosed in a spherical 3D structure. That alignment and translation is ONLY POSSIBLE AFTER BOILING the human tissue + viral+bacterial+fungal culture (everything what is at the back of the nose) in all the ~40 cycles, where the RNA falls apart and maybe recombines giving at the end complete nonsense Even a combination of few such pieces and adding known parts of viruses won't proof ANY INFECTION, which is caused by the ENTIRE LIVING (properly folded) virus at elevated BODY temperature of ~38degC, and not at ~100deg C. Taking a thermometer or oxygen meter measurements of anyone with SYMPTOMS is enough to tell one is sick, with OR without 'covid'! That's what the first german authopsies revealed, nobody died of covid alone, but 'with covid'..., even in a car accident...

Given all these details, any 'scientific study' using these 'determination methods' leading to any resulting statistics, should be equally questionable.

* normal amount should be 25-30

There is ZERO infection of a FAKE virus that does not exist. It has NEVER been isolated or purified. Virology is pure junk science.

If you are this allergic to having your fantasy non-validated, be more cautious with the subscribe button. I know substack is borderline auto-subscribing readers now but you still have a click involved. Now please leave.

Personally Brian, I think in these circumstances it may be more fitting to not engage. I'm learning to do so if there's a hint that good-faith discourse is not going to occur.

We should be allowed to have differing viewpoints on Substack- the open discourse here is what people should yearn for- but it appears that people may want to enter into other spaces and dictate what is said which is completely counter to the idea of having free and open dialogue.

I ignore better if virus truther replies arrive while I am not still grooving in my "publish button high."

Then should I wait an hour or two then start gyrating yelling, "is this what you want?!" I mean, I may do it I'll have to see if I'm busy later.

We had a 1,800-message debate on "do viruses exist", now that was crazy

Igor, I actually ran some basic stat's around recent posts of yours, Steve Kirsch, and Meryl Nass that were inviting of the "no virus" crowd. I looked at a range of 10 - 20 of each of your posts surrounding the period of time the "no virus" post happened. Here's what I found;

Meryl Nass, 13 std deviation increase in comments vs. "normal" posts

Igor, 6 std. deviation increase in comments

Steve K, 6 std. deviation increase in comments

My take: This is unnatural. There is some kind of fuckery afoot here. Bots, 77th sheep brigade... whatever.

I am convinced that viruses exist.

That said, I am totally okay if some of my readers fervently do NOT believe that viruses exist. Really, who cares besides them? It is not a big problem!

Expand full comment

I respectfully disagree. I didn't know for sure that we were in the midst of an operation (as opposed to an organic pandemic) until the HCQ-kneecapping Surgisphere paper came out in the Lancet. The multi-modal suppression of early treatments has been a crime. Almost nobody had to die, or has to die from Covid-19 if given an appropriate early treatment cocktail. If you don't believe there is a virus, why would you care to learn about or believe in the efficacy of early treatment? We should logically be fighting against the No-virus cult just as much as we fight against the "safe and effective vaccine" narrative. We should be trying to help our fellow citizens avoid Darwin awards either way.

Just tell virus deniers that HCQ suppresses "bad miasma" and they will take HCQ. I fail to see a big problem -- and I am a big believer in viruses existing

Most threads, even if including 100s of comments, only spark a handful of dialogues since there's a lot of post-content-valence-confirmation bias built into "being a commenter" to begin with. Naturally a "scissor" topic (https://slatestarcodex.com/2018/10/30/sort-by-controversial/) blows up the thread. Does the math appear the same for unique commenters rather than comment counts?

Expand full comment

Darn good question regarding unique commenters... I just looked at raw comment counts and didn't scratch any deeper. I was just following up on a hunch. Whether organic or not, the No Virus crowd sure has a lot of energy to expend on the selling and reinforcing itself.

It's weird. I'd never heard any educated adult say there's no such thing as a virus. Until recently... On substack. I had a career with NASA and after my initial surprise, got used to the idea that yes, there are lamebrains that deny we put a man on the Moon. And seem to believe it. This seems like more of the same kind of fixation. But why? Where does this come from?

Speaking of fantasy world - please provide all of us lunatics with ONE study that proves the fake virus called COVID has been isolated and purified. NOT some BS grown in a petri dish with billions of other genetic particles and then "somehow" sequenced using a MS computer gene sequencing machine that has "no baseline" where to start putting together tens of millions of pieces of genetic material.

This is like saying "I have a book I've never read, I shred that book along with 500 other books, mixed them together and somehow I magically put together the one book I'm looking for amongst millions of pieces of the other 500 books." Good luck.

Please show me one link to a comment you have posted anywhere that wouldn't make a reader thankful they don't know you in person.

Bahahahaha!!! When will Richard et al learn that the virus deniers are barking up the wrong tree? It's just NOT the conversation we are having and the stupid comments are just annoying and possibly a sign of mental defect. I'd love to believe them, but I just can't. It's too much like flat earthers. (And NO, you will not convince me on this forum NO MATTER WHAT YOU TYPE. PLEASE STOP. It just disrupts the current topic.)

Still waiting for that study proving COVID has been isolated while you goof balls laugh and make fun of people.

Wow that is a real "scientific statement" Brian.

IFSPHPP. There's an acronym, or maybe IFSPHP^2.
