🀣🎭 PEER REVIEW PANEL 🎭🀣

(A completely fictional satire. Any resemblance to the pseudoscience of viroLIEgy is purely intentional…)

πŸ§‘β€βš–οΈ CHAIRPERSON:

Alright everyone, welcome to today’s peer review. We’re here to assess whether this paper has proved the existence of a virus. Gloves off, brains on… theoretically 🧠✨

πŸ§‘β€πŸ”¬ viroLIEgist:

Thank you. As you can see from Figure 3, we isolated the virus.

πŸ§‘β€βš–οΈ CHAIRPERSON:

Excellent. How did you isolate it?

πŸ§‘β€πŸ”¬ viroLIEgist:

We mixed lung fluid, antibiotics, antifungals, starvation media, and monkey kidney cells together πŸ§«πŸ’πŸ’₯

πŸ§‘β€βš–οΈ REVIEWER A:

So… you didn’t isolate anything.

πŸ§‘β€πŸ”¬ viroLIEgist:

No no, you misunderstand. Isolation now means β€œputting things together.”

πŸ§‘β€βš–οΈ REVIEWER B:

Ah yes, like isolating a giraffe by throwing it into a zoo πŸ¦’πŸŸοΈ

πŸ§‘β€βš–οΈ CHAIRPERSON:

Please continue.

πŸ§‘β€πŸ”¬ viroLIEgist:

After poisoning the monkey kidney cells until they died πŸ’€ we declared the cytopathic effect as proof of a virus.

πŸ§‘β€βš–οΈ REVIEWER A:

Did you run controls where you poisoned the cells without patient material?

πŸ§‘β€πŸ”¬ viroLIEgist:

That would be unethical.

πŸ§§β€β™‚οΈ ETHICS OBSERVER:

Unethical… to do science?

πŸ§‘β€πŸ”¬ viroLIEgist:

Exactly.

πŸ§‘β€βš–οΈ CHAIRPERSON:

And how did you confirm the virus caused the cell death?

πŸ§‘β€πŸ”¬ viroLIEgist:

Because the cells died.

πŸ§‘β€βš–οΈ REVIEWER B:

From antibiotics, starvation, toxic media, and mechanical stress?

πŸ§‘β€πŸ”¬ viroLIEgist:

Yes. That’s how viruses work 🦠😌

πŸ§‘β€βš–οΈ REVIEWER A:

Did healthy samples undergo the same process?

πŸ§‘β€πŸ”¬ viroLIEgist:

No, that would undermine the narrative.

πŸ§‘β€βš–οΈ CHAIRPERSON:

Very honest. Continue.

πŸ§‘β€πŸ”¬ viroLIEgist:

Here are our TEM images πŸ“Έ

As you can see, the virus is clearly present.

πŸ§‘β€βš–οΈ REVIEWER B:

I see grey blobs.

πŸ§‘β€πŸ”¬ viroLIEgist:

Look again β€” we added arrows πŸ”ΊπŸ”»βž‘οΈ

πŸ§‘β€βš–οΈ REVIEWER A:

Those arrows are pointing at the cellular debris of the monkey kidney cells you poisoned.

πŸ§‘β€πŸ”¬ viroLIEgist:

Correct. That’s what the virus looks like.

πŸ§‘β€βš–οΈ REVIEWER B:

Those same structures are revealed in healthy cells when exposed to the toxic exposures of your protocol.

πŸ§‘β€πŸ”¬ viroLIEgist:

Only because the virus is hiding.

πŸ§‘β€βš–οΈ CHAIRPERSON:

What about Koch’s postulates?

πŸ§‘β€πŸ”¬ ALL viroLIEgists (IN UNISON):

OBSOLETE 😑πŸ”₯

πŸ§‘β€βš–οΈ REVIEWER B:

Because they fail?

πŸ§‘β€πŸ”¬ viroLIEgist:

Because they ask for evidence.

πŸ§‘β€βš–οΈ REVIEWER A:

Did you ever demonstrate the virus alone causing disease in a healthy host?

πŸ§‘β€πŸ”¬ viroLIEgist:

No β€” but we injected the toxic monkey kidney cell culture directly into the organs of lab animals to prove poisons can be transmitted via syringe πŸ’‰πŸ€

πŸ§‘β€βš–οΈ REVIEWER B:

So you poisoned animals, observed predictable injury, and called it viral transmission?

πŸ§‘β€πŸ”¬ viroLIEgist:

That circular reasoning is the cornerstone of viroLIEgy.

πŸ§‘β€βš–οΈ CHAIRPERSON:

And?

πŸ§‘β€πŸ”¬ viroLIEgist:

It’s peer reviewed.

πŸ§§β€β™‚οΈ BIOSECURITY LIAISON:

Before we vote, can this paper justify emergency powers, injections, and surveillance? πŸ›οΈπŸ’‰πŸ“‘

πŸ§‘β€πŸ”¬ viroLIEgist:

Absolutely.

πŸ§‘β€βš–οΈ CHAIRPERSON:

Then I see no problems here.

πŸ§‘β€βš–οΈ REVIEWER A:

But there’s no isolation, no controls, no causation, and no proof.

πŸ§‘β€βš–οΈ CHAIRPERSON:

Correct.

Motion to approve?

πŸ§‘β€πŸ”¬ ALL:

APPROVED βœ…πŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ‘

πŸ§‘β€βš–οΈ CHAIRPERSON:

Excellent work, everyone. Another virus proven β€” not by evidence, but by consensus, arrows, and exhaustive avoidance of the scientific method πŸ˜ŒπŸ”ΊπŸ¦

"Look again. We added arrows." Hilarious!!! πŸ˜‚

Excellent overview of the consensus science that is virology.

Even looking at both sides of the Hep CV argument.

Although blood transfusions are done everyday. I still wouldn't let anyone inject Hep C positive blood in me even if the pay was large. Much less any blod from a blood bank.

Absence of evidence doesn't equate to evidence of absence of something associated with ill health and disease. It's likely mis-defined.

Weston Price cleared Koch's postulates by taking diseased teeth from humans that passed from specific diseases. Then he implanted the bacterial diseased human teeth in rabbits and the rabbits died of the same disease. He repeated this up to 30 times with the same 1 diseased tooth implanted into 30 different rabbits.

I look at microbes I can see, and culture. Even though I can see and isolate the microbes.

It's impossible to clear Koch's postulates because the synthetic biology is in everyone.

Virology is pseudoscience where as genetic-molecular engineering of synthetic biology is a precise, rapidly advancing, well defined and easily reproducible science.

Although I think virology clarification or lack of is relevant. I think that synthetic biology in humans is paramount to virology arguments. Especially since it's much harder to prove virology than it is to clearly show synthetic biology and ELM in humans.

I elucidate these biologically synthetic microbes in human fluids and vx building engineered living materials(ELM) in links below.

Cheers

Once again a fascinating essay. I zeroed in on the brief cholesterol measurement piece. What is really being measured. I’ve consistently had β€œ High cholesterol” for decades. Yet no symptoms, and various tests EKG, etc, showed my heart is working well, but MDs keep trying to twist this into a story that I need to take statins to reduce a magical number.

INGRID C DURDEN's avatar

same here but with high blood pressure. you're not in the statistic numbers, you need to take forever meds! also have a high body temperature, but that does not seem a problem.

LouWeazel's avatar

Brilliant. Such a clear explanation and synthesis of sources. Thankyou

INGRID C DURDEN's avatar

there is even a religious group (I think Jehovah witnesses) who refuse blood transfusions. I was told long ago they use salty water instead. Bringing foreign cells into the body should just be forbidden.

A well researched and written piece, and a lot to mull over.

You have a new subscriber.

The fun I will have in a future scenario should I find myself in a doctor's office being "diagnosed" with a "virus"!!! I will make sure to bring a ticktock with me (my husband can bring a toolbox of his choice.. he assumes I'm nuts, anyway, but generally concedes that I was right all along about whatever!). I can't wait to inquire about what that "virus" actually LOOKS like & how it was separated for any other anomaly within my particular blood! Hats off to you, Author, & to Cowan, Duesberg, et al for explaining this confounding puzzle in such simplified terms that it SHOULD cause the medical establishment to reevaluate all it's previous "wisdoms" (of course we shouldn't hold our breaths)! I almost can't wait to require going to the "doctor"! If only I weren't so daggone healthy... ! I enjoy being a thorn.. or, in this case, a thumbtack! πŸ“(no thumbtack emojis.. hmmm).

Those of us who read unbecoming or other revisonist debates have all heard that critics claim viruses dont exist in the way virology means. But there are some alternative ideas about such small biomolecules being like a process rather than an object. That idea seems to me to be compatible with the world being run on computer. Where whatever runs the computer may not be well synchronised with all the data it handles. Some of the data might be asynchronous so in order to identify it one would have to go beyond current biomedical methods. I dont inist on that being the right idea but I think discussing it may bring some new insights

I just let myself watch a video on YT with a lot of views and a lot.of comments lamenting Aids denialism. The comments are outraged that dangerous idiots are at it again spouting their mindless ignorance and endangering everyone. Personally I don't know, I haven't done enough research but after Covid I am definitely skeptical and open to the possibility. Equally I am aware we still don't really know what is really going on some I try not to be smug either way.
