The Infectious Myth - Canadian University Tries to Cancel Gender Critical Feminist Professor Kathleen Lowrey 57:53

5 years ago57:53

57:53

Kathleen Lowrey is an Associate Professor in the Anthropology Department at the University of Alberta in Edmonton, Canada. She was asked to resign from her position of Associate Chair of the department because of anonymous complaints from students that she made them feel ‘unsafe’. She refused, and then was dismissed without reason. David and Kathleen talk about gender critical feminism as opposed to transgender rights activist, about safe spaces, about learning environments, academic freedom an more. Even JK Rowling and the hypocrisy of her publishing company Hachette, comes up. They strongly protected JK Rowling, but recently cancelled a Woody Allen biography faced with almost identical complaints from staff and authors. A wide ranging, casual conversation.…

47:18

David provides a second on his cancer diagnosis, his meetings with an oncologist and radiologist, that sealed his desire to go alternative, his conversations with Tom Cowan, Andrew Kaufman and others that provided new insights into alternative diets and treatment. He also discusses the ups and downs of his rapid decline in health, mostly problems with edema and low energy levels. His family is in town this week, so his time is more limited, but it’s also motivating to spend time with people you love.…

The Infectious Myth - Jim Gottstein on the Zyprexa Papers 58:14

5 years ago58:14

58:14

Jim Gottstein’s legal education was interrupted by a psychological breakdown, but he managed to get back on his feet without becoming a lifetime drug consumer, completed his legal education at Harvard Law School, and turned his attention to helping others. So it was no surprise when internal Eli Lilly documents on the antipsychotic Zyprexa (Olanzapine) were sent to him. But the drug company did not like this and dragged him into a long drawn-out court battle to get him to close the barn door after the horses had fled (Jim had forwarded the documents to others, and not all of them returned and destroyed them). In this discussion, and in his book, “The Zyprexa Papers”, Jim also describes how he fought against the forced drugging of psychiatric patients in his home state of Alaska. Another long, drawn-out battle, with some successes, some failures. For more on Jim’s work see: http://gottsteinlaw.com and http://psychrights.org…

Thomas Cowan is a mainstream-educated holistic physician, a man who went to medical school because he knew that there was something wrong with his field of study. He has many years of experience as a holistic physician, applying knowledge about nutrition and other important factors to real health problems. He discusses the COVID-19 catastrophe and other failings of Germ Theory with David. Find out more about Dr. Cowan’s work at: https://www.drcowansgarden.com/pages/about-us…

The Infectious Myth - Linda Blade on Male Bodies in Women’s Sports 58:15

5 years ago58:15

58:15

Linda Blade was a Canadian Track and Field Champion, and NCAA All-American in heptathalon. Following her athletic career she completed a PhD in Kinesiology and has devoted her life since then to developing and implementing training programs for new generations of athletes. She is currently President of Athletics Alberta, in Canada. For a long time she has been concerned with male bodies in female sports, biological males who declare themselves transgender women and then, based on their sex-based biological advantages, consistently win events, leaving all the biological women behind. David and Linda discuss the physical differences in male skeletons, musculature and more, and how women are now fighting a rearguard action to regain the sex-based distinction of their sports category, after mostly men in important organizations like the IOC gave it away.…

The Infectious Myth - COVID-19 Antibody Tests 58:21

5 years ago58:21

58:21

David goes through his recent research on antibody tests and shows that they are as much a mess as RT-PCR testing for infection, maybe more. Important data needed to validate the meaning of antibodies is missing, it is randomly chosen from patients rather than from following one person, or it directly contradicts dogmas about how antibodies work.

Andrew Kaufman came to similar conclusions about the non-existence of the supposed COVID-19. An MD and PhD, Kaufman has studied the similarity between what is being called COVID-19 and exosomes, which are virus-like particles released by normal human cells, perhaps more so under conditions of stress.

The Infectious Myth - Dangers of Chloroquine and Hydroxychloroquine with Remington Nevin 58:14

5 years ago58:14

58:14

Remington Nevin is an MD and expert on the quinoline family of drugs, best known for their use against malaria. He has been interviewed here before, on the subject of mefloquine, which is believed to have caused severe neurologic damage, especially in soldiers who were forced to take it even after experiencing adverse effects. Similar effects are also found with chloroquine and hydroxychloroquine. The latter is often used for rheumatoid arthritis, and doctors there say that it is remarkably free of side effects. They forget, however, that a lot of patients stop taking it quite quickly after starting, probably because they are the sub-group that is vulnerable to side effects. Given that high doses are being used for COVID-19, and on elderly, infirm people, one can expect significant problems with side effects.

The Infectious Myth - Simplifying RT-PCR 58:31

5 years ago58:31

58:31

Following the very deep discussion with Stephen Bustin in Episode 251, David goes back over the same ground, hopefully in a way that simplifies everything and will enable you to get a better understanding of RT-PCR, and it’s application to coronavirus testing. He starts by describing RNA, including the fact that it is found in every living cell, not just viruses, then the extraction of RNA, the conversion of RNA to complementary DNA using Reverse Transcriptase enzyme, and then the PCR process used to approximately double the DNA at even step, until the Cycle Threshold is reached. And the Cycle Threshold is one of the big problems of RT-PCR testing for coronavirus. Some of these thoughts are also in written form at: https://theinfectiousmyth.com/coronavirus/RT-PCR_Test_Issues.php…

The Infectious Myth - Stephen Bustin on Challenges with RT-PCR 59:36

5 years ago59:36

59:36

RT-PCR is the main method for declaring that someone is COVID-19 infected or not, as well as having numerous other uses in molecular biology research and biological testing. Professor Stephen Bustin is a world expert on the technology, and the potential problems with using it to produce accurate and repeatable results. Although the coronavirus test is presented as a binary test, it is actually based on whether the production of DNA is detectable prior to an arbitrary number of PCR cycles. If there is variability in the quantification, then samples will be above or below the limit, when they should not be, resulting in false positives and negatives. David and Stephen walk through the steps, from the extraction of RNA from the original sample, the conversion of the RNA to complementary DNA, and duplication of DNA using PCR, and the optional step of sequencing. While this is dense technical information at times, it is presented logically, and the limitations of this method cannot be understood without taking the cover off the black box. We suggest not listening to this episode when you are trying to do anything else, but sit down in a quiet place so that you can concentrate fully. Stephen Bustin’s detailed 2017 paper is here: https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.1111/eci.12801 More information about his work is here: https://aru.ac.uk/people/stephen-bustin…

Kevin Corbett is a nurse whose career has spanned from the AIDS era to the Coronavirus era. In this discussion he draws parallels between the two panic-filled eras. Although AIDS was focussed on sex, there was also a fear of touching AIDS patients. Kevin worked in a ward associated with Princess Diana who broke taboos by touching and kissing patients. Now we are scared of coughs and fevers and other normal respiratory happenings, and due to the fear of infection, aggressively treating people with, for example, intubation. David and Kevin have written a paper together on the UK situation at: https://theinfectiousmyth.com/coronavirus/ProblemsUKLockdownCorbettCrowe.pdf You can find out about Kevin’s other life as an artisst, and contact him, at: http://www.kevinpcorbett.com…

The Infectious Myth - David Rasnick on the Coronavirus 58:13

58:13

David Rasnick and David Crowe (who have to call themselves ‘Raz’ and ‘Crowe’ to avoid confusion) discuss the coronavirus, particularly the RT-PCR testing. Raz is a PhD in chemistry who worked on protease inhibitors (being used in coronavirus, although the Chinese trial was an admitted failure). The test is really important because without it there wouldn’t be any Covid-19 cases, so they spend a lot of time discussing it. They also discuss confusion with other diseases, reasons not to shut down the economy, probable exaggeration of the mortality rate, dangerous treatments, the politics, and more.
