Exploring the Origin of the “Virus” Concept With Jesse Zurawell

I was delighted to be back on Jesse Zurawell’s excellent TNT Radio show Perspective to discuss the origin of the “virus” concept. Jesse had seen my latest Substack article The “Virus” Concept, and wanted to dive in a bit deeper into the birth of this fraudulent idea that has ruined the lives of so many. In our conversation, we discussed:

  • The origin of the “filterable virus” concept
  • The role that Koch’s Postulates played in the creation of the “virus” idea
  • The early Tobacco Mosaic “virus” (TMV) studies conducted by Dimitri Ivanovski and Martinus Beijerinck
  • The work of Friedrich Loeffler on Foot and Mouth Disease (FMD)
  • The reification of the “virus” story
  • And much more!

I hope that you enjoy this latest discussion delving into the early history of the pseudoscience known as virology. 🙂

GUEST OVERVIEW: Mike runs viroliegy.com which, using actual science, dissects the field of virology and exposes myths about viruses and germs in general. We will be discussing about why viruses do not exist, and what, therefore, causes illness.

  2. Mike,

    It would appear that they never let a crisis go to waste – especially when they create it. A bit odd that it always ends with a vaccine, don’t you think? Kind of strange that they always vaccinate soldiers before they send them off to war. Check out the history on this sometime. It’s all about making money off of death and destruction.

    Human nature hasn’t changed. Consider something from the New Testament.

    The Apostle Paul And The Idol Makers

    “About that time there arose a great disturbance about the Way. A silversmith named Demetrius, who made silver shrines of Artemis, brought in a lot of business for the craftsmen there. He called them together, along with the workers in related trades, and said: “You know, my friends, that we receive a good income from this business. And you see and hear how this fellow Paul has convinced and led astray large numbers of people here in Ephesus and in practically the whole province of Asia. He says that gods made by human hands are no gods at all. There is danger not only that our trade will lose its good name, but also that the temple of the great goddess Artemis will be discredited; and the goddess herself, who is worshiped throughout the province of Asia and the world, will be robbed of her divine majesty.” – Acts 19:23-27.

    When the Apostle Paul began to teach the Gospel of Jesus Christ in Ephesus, he encountered intense opposition from idol makers. The pagan idolaters in the ancient city of Ephesus revered the Greek goddess Artemis and worshipped her through artifacts made by the city’s craftsmen, which provided a good livelihood for all involved with the craft. Paul’s message threatened to free the people from the false worship of Artemis and eliminate a significant source of income for the craftsmen and those in the related trades.

    The silversmith Demetrius instructed his fellow craftsmen and others who benefited from the business to give no consideration to the truthfulness of Paul’s message. All that was important was that it threatened their income and had to be censored. The worship of Artemis was a prominent form of the idolatry practiced in the ancient world. Idolatry was the principal sin that enslaved the world at that time. It was based on a lie and stood in stark contrast to the message of the Gospel of Jesus Christ.

    The message of the Gospel of Jesus Christ offered the people freedom from idolatry and the debauchery associated with the practice of its rituals. It offered reconciliation to the true God and unending life free from the consequences of original sin, but not without repentance. Repentance is necessary because the price was paid to justify the sinner, and not to justify sin.

    Nevertheless, those in the business of feeding off of the people’s ignorance did everything possible to perpetuate the lie. They had no desire for reconciliation with the true God. Instead, they preferred the temporary benefits of sin. Keeping the people bound to the sin of idolatry was their main objective. This is why the warning against following false prophets cannot be overemphasized. It is imperative to heed this warning.

    Today, this business with viruses is a prominent form of idolatry. Every virus is like a false god. There is a pantheon of them, and each one is credited with the power to cause disease and even death. The priests of these man-made gods have declared the ritual of vaccination to be the only method that can appease their gods.

  3. Troops who refused anthrax vaccine paid a high price

    ” . . . During the first eight years that the Pentagon ran the anthrax vaccination program, hundreds of troops refused the vaccine due to perceived health risks or religious concerns — and many of them paid dearly for that decision. . .

    . . . Retired Marine Maj. Dale Saran, a former JAG officer, represented one sailor and two Marines who refused the vaccine on Okinawa in 2000. . .

    . . . “The venom with which they went after people … I just find that abhorrent,” Saran said. Those service members “were charged and threatened, people’s lives were destroyed.”

    A little history on the anthrax vaxx.

    “In 1997, the Clinton administration initiated the Anthrax Vaccine Immunization Program (AVIP), under which active U.S. service personnel were to be immunized with the vaccine. Controversy ensued since vaccination was mandatory and GAO published reports that questioned the safety and efficacy of AVA, causing sometimes serious side effects. A Congressional report also questioned the safety and efficacy of the vaccine and challenged the legality of mandatory inoculations. Mandatory vaccinations were halted in 2004 by a formal legal injunction which made numerous substantive challenges regarding the vaccine and its safety. After reviewing extensive scientific evidence, the FDA determined in 2005 that AVA is safe and effective as licensed for the prevention of anthrax, regardless of the route of exposure. In 2006, the Defense Department announced the reinstatement of mandatory anthrax vaccinations for more than 200,000 troops and defense contractors. The vaccinations are required for most U.S. military units and civilian contractors assigned to homeland bioterrorism defense or deployed in Iraq, Afghanistan or South Korea.” – Wikipedia.

    “The Anthrax Vaccine Immunization Program (AVIP), is the name of the policy set forth by the U.S. federal government to immunize its military and certain civilian personnel with BioThrax, an anthrax vaccine manufactured by Emergent BioSolutions Inc. It was set up by the Clinton administration.” – Wikipedia.

    “. . . The main buyer of BioThrax is the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). The CDC buys BioThrax for the Strategic National Stockpile (SNS). The government uses the SNS to protect the public in the event of a national emergency like a terrorist attack. . . . The New York Times reported in March 2021 that the US government had spent nearly a quarter of a billion dollars annually, nearly half of its budget to maintain the Strategic National Stockpile, to purchase BioThrax from Emergent during the preceding decade. In 2020, the government paid Emergent US$626 million.” – Wikipedia.

    Anthrax is not “contagious”.

    On the technical side.

    “. . . The virulence of B. anthracis derives from the production of three toxin proteins and the capsule. The toxin proteins, encoded on the pXO1 plasmid, are protective antigen (PA), edema factor (EF), and lethal factor (LF). To produce active toxins, PA must bind to cellular receptors and then bind with either EF or LF (see Figure 2-4). The human cellular receptor for PA has recently been identified and characterized and named anthrax toxin receptor (Bradley et al., 2001). The resulting edema toxin or lethal toxin can then enter the cell. The effects of edema toxin appear to result from EF, an adenylate cyclase that increases intracellular levels of cyclic adenosine monophosphate, which upsets water homeostasis (Dixon et al., 1999). Edema toxin may also impair neutrophil function. LF is a zinc metalloprotease that cleaves two mitogen-activated protein kinase kinases. The mechanism by which it leads to death of the host remains unknown but may involve suppression of the inflammatory response (Pellizzari et al., 1999, Erwin et al., 2001).”

    Identification of the theoretical cellular receptor for anthrax toxin

    https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/11700562/

    Abstract

    “We used quantitative real-time RT-PCR to not only investigate the mRNA levels of anthrax toxin receptor 1 (ANTXR1) and 2 (ANTXR2) in the murine J774A.1 macrophage cells and different tissues of mice, but also evaluate the effect of anthrax edema toxin and Bacillus anthracis Sterne spores on the expression of mRNA of these receptors.”

    All very interesting, but still well within the currently accepted theoretical cell model.

    It is interesting to note that both of these prominent scientists were defunded as a consequence of their criticism of the current cell model.
