Because of this, we’ve seen the creativity in America [sic] science dwindle (e.g., the grants career scientists depend upon are only given to those who work which [sic] confirms to [sic] the existing scientific narratives) and paradigm shifting ideas that disrupt science and move it forward are becoming rarer and rarer (as beyond not being funded, those who research it are widely attacked by the scientific community). - from A Midwestern Doctor - The Profound Decline of America’s Scientific Institutions

While I was putting together “Scientific Models & Idol Worship,” I came across a fascinating essay by Dr. Mark Bailey called, “A Farewell to Virology.” Before the covid lockdowns, I’d had my suspicions regarding virus theory simply because MDs so often referred to viruses when they clearly had no idea what was wrong. As far as I could tell, when doctors couldn’t diagnose an illness, they’d invoke the invisible micro-critter theory and send you on your way. Once the lockdowns came, I felt the bogeyman was afoot, and I searched for medically trained critics of virology. Indeed, I found them and their alternative, called Terrain Theory, about which you can read right here at analogy.

Oddly enough, if there’s one thing you’re not allowed to question, it’s the idea that viruses exist. If you explain to folks that no virus has ever been isolated, directly tested, or shown to cause illness, they invariably look at you blankly or scoff and ask how it is that folks get sick. It’s obvious to everyone that people pass along particles that make others sick. To question any of this is simply ridiculous. Everyone knows that snotty-nosed kids come home from school full of sickness particles and spread the particles around, making the whole house sick.

Despite the common-sense feel of this perspective, however, there’s no scientific evidence whatsoever to support this model of illness. Not only does this 1969 antarctic expedition disprove the contagion model, but all clinical evidence indicates the same. Indeed the experiments performed by Louis Pasteur (1822-1895) and Robert Koch (1843-1910)—who established germ theory—falsified the model. I recommend the following two articles on the subject for anyone interested in the actual experiments: you can find them on Substack here and here. As one discovers when looking into the methods, viruses were never discovered, they were invented and assumed to be discovered, as per my article on science and idol worship.

The other key concepts here are coherence and correspondence—ideas I discussed in “How Dark Physics Fails.” The virus model and its associated immunology are internally incoherent and externally lacking in correspondence, a situation that leads to all manner of desperate workarounds meant to save the model. For instance, antibodies are said to confer immunity; but the production of antibodies (your immune reaction) is also the cause of illness. So an immune reaction to a vaccine or a virus is what makes you sick. What about the virus? Oh yeah. That makes you sick, too. So each time your body produces antibodies, that’s what accounts for the symptoms. So what’s immunity? Supposedly the fact that your body has already produced antibodies to a given virus once. What’s the difference then between having already produced the antibodies and not having produced them before? In both cases, you are supposedly going to get sick while producing the antibodies. Again, what then is immunity? Isn’t that supposed to be a condition in which you clear the virus without symptoms? How does that happen if your immune reaction makes you sick? Then there’s the asymptomatic carrier. What in heck is that? A live virus is going around multiplying in your body without causing an immune reaction and you never get sick? Really? Doesn’t that mean that you’re just healthy? Yeah, but you test positive for the microbe. Shouldn’t that falsify the model? Nope! So what exactly do viruses do if not multiply and destroy your cells? And then there’s the caveat that if you get sick from the same virus twice, it’s owing to virus mutation, but not necessarily. So no matter what happens, the model can’t help but always be right. It’s immune to falsifiability. What we have here is a failed model that’s so patched up, we might call it a frankenmodel of disease. And yet. . . only stupid people ask questions.

Our relationship to this frankenmodel is as culturally entrenched as the divination paradigm of yore was entrenched in the minds of the Greco-Romans. Despite the evidence under our noses, we just can’t see past the paradigm. This unfortunate situation is not exceptional. Consider all those who still believe the mRNA vaccines are “safe and effective” and saved millions of lives, and the side-effects, even those listed on the product insert, are not caused by the product. All I can do is suggest you read “A Farewell to Virology,” our article on Terrain Theory, our Covid Heretic piece, and those articles examining the experiments of Pasteur and Koch. I simply can’t convince you of anything in one longish Barstool Bit like this, or even with one long essay. It’s a gradual education because the paradigm is so deeply engrained, so utterly conventional.

I gave the example to a friend, for instance, that scurvy was initially thought to be a contagion, since folks on board a ship seemed to fall ill one after another, as though one were giving it to the other. His response was, “Ah, but you see, it was because of a lack of vitamin C.” I honestly didn’t know how to respond without coming across as insulting, so I let the matter drop, hoping the penny might drop for him later.

One thing I recommend is a wee experiment on yourself. Next time you’re around sick folk, instead of freaking out and refusing to touch them and getting all squeamish about being in their company, try just acting normal and see if you get sick. I personally have been doing this for years, even sharing proximal space and even drinking from the same glass, even kissing! And I haven’t gotten sick. If you reorient your expectations, you’ll find that more often than not, the contagion model doesn’t hold up.

Okay. That was a longer introduction than I intended. My purpose today is to share a few quotations from Dr. Bailey’s “Farewell to Virology” to whet your appetite and perhaps entice you into reading the paper yourself.

The following three quotations speak to the phenomenon of what virologists do and how they wind up practicing in a field that is complete bunk. To my mind, this is key. What on earth are all these virologists doing in their labs? What about gain of function? What is that? Essentially, it doesn’t matter. Here’s why:

In 2021, veteran virologist Professor Vincent Racaniello explained, even with regard to the definition of fundamental terms such as ‘isolate’ that, “what happens is you’re trained in someone’s laboratory and you hear them say things and you associate a meaning with them and that’s what you do, and they may or may not be right.”

Scientists have a tendency to assume that everything outside of their domain of interest is true and that they can just rely on it. — David Crowe following his interview of Stephen Bustin in April 2020.

When Coppolino pressed him on this point Bustin responded, “well, you know, this is a standard way of doing this so I really can’t comment any further on that, except that to me that’s perfectly acceptable and that’s the way to do it.”

In other words, the mechanism by which bunk science perpetuates itself is through a basic abnegation of the principle nullius in verba, the motto of the Royal Society, meaning: nothing at the word of another. As I’ve been pointing out here at analogy in article after article, a great deal of science has gone astray for this very reason.

In response to a freedom of information request, Bailey tells us, New Zealand's Institute of Environmental Science and Research (ESR) had this to say:

“ESR has not performed any experiments to scientifically prove the existence of SARS-COV-2 virus and can therefore not provide you with any records.”

and further...

“ESR has not performed any experiments to scientifically prove that [the] SARS-COV-2 virus causes COVID-19 and can therefore not provide you with any records.”

Bailey concludes: “Nobody else has performed these required scientific experiments either.”

The lab leak hypothesis is simply another narrative in the COVID-19 era that keeps alive in the public’s imagination the illusion of the material existence of SARS-CoV-2, as well as pathogenic viruses and microbe-related contagion in general. In recent months the fear-based narrative has continued  with  declarations of  monkeypox  outbreaks,  alleged  detection  of  polio  “viruses”  in London, and the COVID-19 lab leak theory even received backing from the Director-General of the World Health Organization in support of the phantom disease and pandemic he named. It seems likely there will be more “lab leak” stories in the future if they continue to capture attention so effectively.

All of these stories lead back to the same fear narrative involving a contagious and “deadly virus.” It allows this fraud to be propagated and paves the way for other similar frauds to be carried out in the future.

And here’s a quote from Lord Sumption (2020) that Bailey includes in his paper:

I'm not a scientist but it is the right and duty of every citizen to look and see what the scientists have said, and to analyse it for themselves, and to draw commonsense conclusions. We are all perfectly capable of doing that, and there's no particular reason why the scientific nature of the problem should mean that we have to resign our liberty into the hands of scientists.

Frankly, in the strictest sense of the word scientist, virologists, vaccinologists, and immunologists aren’t scientists either.

I understand this is a controversial topic, but for those who’ve been following analogy for a while now, it’s really no stretch at all. The sciences are in bad shape and have been for quite some time—stagnation and necrosis having set in somewhere around 1920. The problem of making phenomena fit models is now ubiquitous. At this stage of the game, science is, often enough, computer generated with a tenuous relationship to reality. And the case is no different for virology.

We should expect the next genius breakthrough on the subject to be the discovery of the virus wave-particle duality, supported by epidemiological statistical analyses of viral behaviour. Viral Wavicle Theory will no doubt be accompanied by new, lucrative schemes to detect and deflect said disease-causing wavicles. Future pandemics will require everyone to wear tin foil hats and triple-layer masks. Don’t laugh! The latest long-range transmission theory of aerosolised viruses is well on its way.

The idea that a pharma-run industry is utterly bogus ought not to come as a surprise. Perhaps the greatest discovery made by Louis Pasteur was how much money could be made from the fraudulent notion of vaccines. Pasteur had good reason to demand that his notebooks be kept a secret after his death: they had the potential to expose the fraud, sink his legacy, and destroy the Pasteur Institute.
