We have pointed out that although the
above-mentioned developments appear
fraudulent, they were simply smaller
offshoots of a foundational scientific fraud
known as ‘virological science’.3, 4, 5
Online encyclopaedia Wikipedia states that a
pandemic is, “an epidemic of an infectious
disease that has spread across a large region,
for instance multiple continents or
worldwide, affecting a substantial number of
individuals.”6 (emphasis added) An epidemic
is defined as, “the rapid spread of disease to
a large number of hosts in a given population
within a short period of time.”7 An infectious
disease is one that involves, “the invasion of
tissues by pathogens, their multiplication,
and the reaction of host tissues to the
infectious agent and the toxins they
produce.”8 (emphasis added) Furthermore, it
is stated that, “an infectious disease, also
known as a transmissible disease or
communicable disease, is an illness resulting
from an infection.”9
These alleged “pathogens” include viruses
which are said to be submicroscopic particles
that have specific physical and biological
properties, including replication-competence
and the ability to transmit between
organisms such as humans to cause disease.
(The arguments about whether they are true
micro-organisms, dead or alive, etc are
further downstream considerations and of no
consequence compared to the pivotal
question of their existence.) While many
people take the existence of viruses as an
established scientific fact, my experience
indicates that most people, including those in
…one of the pivotal issues with
virology was that it invented itself as
a field before establishing if viruses
actually existed. It has been trying to
justify itself since its inception: In
this instance, a virus particle was
not observed first and subsequently
viral theory and pathology
developed. Scientists of the mid and
late nineteenth century were
preoccupied with the identification
of imagined contagious pathogenic
entities…The extant presupposition
of the time was that a very small
germ particle existed that may
explain contagion. What came
thereafter arose to fulfil the
presuppositional premise.10
What has taken place for over a century has
been a series of pseudoscientific practices,
including the continued use of a reification
fallacy - that is, assuming viruses have a
physical existence despite the fact that they
remain a hypothetical construct. In other
words, “the error of treating something that
is not concrete, such as an idea, as a concrete thing.”11
It can be shown that the virologists have
painted themselves into a corner and the
paradigm that they have created has them
snared. If the discipline of virology is said to
be a branch of natural science, then its
practitioners are reliant on empirical
evidence gained through observation and
experimentation. Within this framework of
the scientific method lies the requirement to
generate a hypothesis (that is necessarily
falsifiable) and then to test it with
experiments. The experiments in question
the health community, have not critically
examined the cited evidence to verify for
themselves whether the relevant
methodologies that were utilised qualify as
scientific. It remains largely unappreciated
that viruses were not discovered and then
studied - they were imagined. Virology went
on to invent itself on the basis of these hypothetical particles:
