Officials say drug caused Nigeria polio
By MARIA CHENG, AP Medical Writer Fri Oct 5, 3:55 PM ET
LONDON - A polio outbreak in Nigeria was caused by the vaccine designed to
stop it, international health officials say, leaving at least 69 children
paralyzed.
ADVERTISEMENT
It is a frightening paradox in a part of the world that already distrusts
western vaccines, making it even tougher to stamp out age-old diseases.
The outbreak was caused by the live polio virus that is used in vaccines
given orally - the preferred method in developing countries because it is
cheaper and doesn't require medical training to dispense.
"This vaccine is the most effective tool we have against the virus, but it's
like fighting fire with fire," said Olen Kew, a virologist at the U.S.
Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
The CDC and the World Health Organization announced the cause of the polio
outbreak last week, even though they knew about it last year.
Outbreaks caused by the oral vaccine's live virus have happened before. But
the continuing Nigerian outbreak is the biggest ever caused by the vaccine.
It also follows a nearly yearlong boycott of the vaccine in Africa's most
populous country because of unfounded fears the vaccine was a Western plot
to sterilize Muslims.
Officials now worry that the latest vaccine-caused Nigerian outbreak could
trigger another vaccine scare.
Experts say such outbreaks only happen when too few children are vaccinated.
In northern Nigeria, only about 39 percent of children are fully protected
against polio.
The oral polio vaccine contains a weakened version of polio virus. Children
who have been vaccinated excrete the virus, and in unsanitary conditions it
can end up in the water supply, spreading to unvaccinated children.
In rare instances, as the virus passes through unimmunized children, it can
mutate into a form that is dangerous enough to spark new outbreaks.
In 2001, officials reported that 22 children were paralyzed from polio in
the Dominican Republic and Haiti in this way. Subsequent vaccine-caused
polio outbreaks have occurred in the Philippines, Madagascar, China and
Indonesia.
In the West, the polio vaccine is given as a shot and uses an inactivated
virus, but that method is more expensive and requires training.
In Nigeria, the outbreak comes "in the wake of all the other problems
they've had in," said Dr. Donald A. Henderson, who led WHO's smallpox
eradication campaign in the 1970s.
In 2003, politicians in northern Nigeria canceled vaccination campaigns for
nearly a year, claiming the vaccine was a Western plot to sterilize Muslims.
That led to an explosion of polio, and the virus jumped to about two dozen
countries.
Now, health officials' decision to keep quiet about the cause of the
outbreak for so long may look suspicious.
Dr. David Heymann, WHO's top polio official, said that because the
organization considered the outbreak to be a problem for scientists and not
something that would change global vaccination practices, they thought it
was was unnecessary to immediately share publicly.
CDC's Kew added: "The people who are against immunization may seize on
anything that could strengthen their position, even if it's scientifically
untenable."
Rumors are still rife among Nigerians that the vaccine is unsafe, and
several religious leaders continue to lecture on its dangers. Another mass
vaccine boycott could lead to further polio spread, derailing long-standing
eradication efforts for good.
Nigerian health officials contacted by The Associated Press declined to
comment on the situation.
"Convincing the Nigerians to take even more of this vaccine will be a tough
sell," said Dr. Samuel Katz, an infectious diseases specialist at Duke
University and co-inventor of the measles vaccine.
More than 10 billion polio doses have been given to children worldwide, and
the vaccine has been credited with cutting polio incidence by more than 99
percent since 1988. Far more children are paralyzed by the wild polio virus
than the virus spread by the oral vaccine. But no vaccine is risk-free.
WHO said that changing the vaccination strategy is unnecessary. "It would be
nice if we had a more stable oral polio vaccine, but that's not the way it
is today," Heymann said. "We will continue working the way we have been
working because we don't want children to be paralyzed anywhere." |

Hmm, well, maybe a closer look at the environmental conditions when deciding
where to give it might, with hindsight, have been a good thing to do. If
there is a risk of infection via water supply, surely this should have rung
the alarm bells and maybe in those areas, the more costly approach adopted.

Nigeria can afford the more costly approach. With all those billions of dollars
sitting in unclaimed bank accounts, Nigeria has all the money it needs to combat
polio and other infectious diseases without any Western assistance. |

Would be more accurate to say that the anti-vaccine nutters deny there

How does one weaken the polio virus? Use sicker monkeys for their

Lol, ignorance knows no bounds. The virus is grown, for multiple
generations, using sub-optimal (i.e. not what you'd find in the human
body) conditions. This causes mutations in the polio virus, as the
virus is forced to evolve to survive in the new conditions. After
sufficient generations these mutations allow the virus to survive in the
culture conditions, but in evolving to survive those conditions the
virus looses the ability to efficiently grow in humans.

Pretty basic biology my arse. Pretty basic brainwashing and

First of all, how do you culture and grow a virus?
What lab conditions are required?
What medium does the vaccinator use? You claim sub-optimal
conditions. What are they?
How do you change the medium to a sub-optimal medium without killing
the virus?
How do the viral mutations occur?
Sorry, but your concept is all crap.
No scientist has ever seen nor cultured a live virus. Hear that? No
scientist has ever seen nor cultured a live virus.
The reason for that the so called virus only exists within a LIVING
CELL. Only within a living cell do scientists believe that a viral
particle exists. They are wrong, but that is what they believe.
Outside of the cell, the viral particle is just a piece of dead
cellular remains. A virus cannot exist outside of a living cell.
Virology 101 will tell you that.
You go on to then claim that the virus loses the ability to
efficiently grow in humans. What a load of more crap. "Loses the
ability to efficiently grow in humans?" What the heck does that
mean? Show us some proof of that conjecture.
The virus is not a living organism. Such a dead piece of cellular
debris cannot come back to life and infect or sicken anything. The
only way such a piece of dead organic material could ever gain entry
into the human body is by the hypodermic syringe.

indoctrination I would accept.
First of all, how do you culture and grow a virus?
Easy. You take competent cells (fancy way of saying cells the virus
infects) in a petri dish, add the virus, and put it in an incubator.
The virus grows in the cells, and you can then isolate it at will.
Quote: What lab conditions are required?
37C/5%CO2 incubator, competent cells (exact type depends on the virus),
and culture medium (usually supplemented with serum and antibiotics).
Quote: What medium does the vaccinator use?
Depends on the cell type under culture. Commonly used ones are M199,
and RPMI. But there is also DMEM, API, and a whole bunnch of others.
Quote: You claim sub-optimal
conditions. What are they?
Usually lower temperature - 20-25C.
Quote: How do you change the medium to a sub-optimal medium without killing
the virus?
Viruses are non-living, therefore you cannot "kill" them. So long as
the cells are competent, and the cells can survive the culture
condition, the virus can grow in them.
Quote: How do the viral mutations occur?
Same way all mutations occur - through replication errors and
environmental factors.
Quote: Sorry, but your concept is all crap.
No, its basic science - the kind we have summer students in the lab do
all the time.
Quote:
No scientist has ever seen nor cultured a live virus. Hear that?
of course not - viruses are not living things.
But we do culture and purify viruses all the time - I've done that
several times as part of my work. We even use mutated viruses as
gene-delilvery veihicles, in which we insert a gene of interest into a
replication-defective virus, and then use that virus to transport the
gene into a cell, or animal, of interest.
For something "imaginary", they do a pretty damned good job in the lab...
Quote: The reason for that the so called virus only exists within a LIVING
CELL.
Actually, with only the rarest of exceptions most viruses have a lytic
stage, wherein the virus deliberatly lyses a cell and releases its
capsulated form into the environment. It is this form of the virus
which is contagious, and this form of the virus is what we isolate. You
can isolate pre-viral particles and genomes from infected cells.
Quote: Only within a living cell do scientists believe that a viral
particle exists.
Hardly. The fact we can isolate viral particles outside of cells
demonstrates clearly that viruses are real.
Quote: They are wrong, but that is what they believe.
They are right, and have over a centuries worth of data to support them.
you have what - nothing but unfounded, uncited claims which you cannot
back up. I know where I'll be placing my bets.
Quote: Outside of the cell, the viral particle is just a piece of dead
cellular remains.
No. Its a pretty complex protein-nucleic acid-membrane complex with
conserved structure and function. Nothing like it is produced by
healthy cells, nor is the genetic information used to make the virus a
component of any cells DNA.
Quote: A virus cannot exist outside of a living cell.
Wrong. Viruses exist outside of living cells all the time. They just
cannot replicate outside of a living cell.
Quote: Virology 101 will tell you that.
Having taught lectures in a course on immunity and infectious disease, I
can tell you beyond a shadow of a doubt that no real virology course on
this planet will claim the things you have claimed.
Quote: You go on to then claim that the virus loses the ability to
efficiently grow in humans. What a load of more crap. "Loses the
ability to efficiently grow in humans?" What the heck does that
mean? Show us some proof of that conjecture.
I thought it was obvious - the virus no longer replicates efficiently in
our bodies, meaning it does not grow as quickly, or infect as many
cells, as does wild-type virus. As such the disease it causes is
non-existent, simply because the immune system generates a response that
stops it long before it causes disease.
One of those things you should have learned in virology 101.

Quote: The virus is not a living organism. Such a dead piece of cellular

Who ever claimed it did. All a virus does it transport genes from one
cell to a next. It is those genes, which code for more viruses, which
cause the problem. the viral particles themselves are nothing more then
a container to keep those genes safe between victims.
Quote: The
only way such a piece of dead organic material could ever gain entry
into the human body is by the hypodermic syringe.
No. The viral capsid contains multiple proteins whos job is to bind to
the target cells, and mediate viral entry. Many viruses actually trick
our own cells into taking them up, but mimiking things our cells would
normally want to take in. This is a well established area of science,
with thousands of scientific papers to its credit.

The virus grows in the cells, and you can then isolate it at will.
First you need "competent cells." This means cells that can act
according to what you want to happen later. In the case of polio,
maybe this is why monkey kidneys were chosen for the competent cells?
You then add the virus and wait for the cells to uptake the particles
and produce more of the desired viral particles. Of course, you must
destroy the cells to then isolate the viral particles contained.
You may be able to do this under laboratory conditions, but those
conditions do not exist in the real world. Your are fooling yourself
with laboratory tricks.
Quote:
What lab conditions are required?
37C/5%CO2 incubator, competent cells (exact type depends on the virus),
and culture medium (usually supplemented with serum and antibiotics).
Let's see near body temp and 5%CO2. Do you find those conditions in a
human body?
Competent cells. Which human cells are competent?
Then we would need a human body to use as a medium and ply it with
serm and antibiotics to get real world polio. Don't think so.
Quote:

Depends on the cell type under culture. Commonly used ones are M199,

Wait a minute here. "Viruses are non-living, therefore you cannot
"kill" them. Why in the hell should I be afraid of them then? All
they can do in the real world is to rot or be digested.
Quote:

Sounds like excuses to me to explain certain data.

Brainwashing and indoctrination can occur at any time.

You said previously that viral particles outside the cell were non-

I thought it was obvious - the virus no longer replicates efficiently in
our bodies, meaning it does not grow as quickly, or infect as many
cells, as does wild-type virus.
You claim it, but where is the proof? How does the wild-type get past
our digestive system, our absorption system, our immune system, and
the liver to do its dastardly deed?
As such the disease it causes is
Quote: non-existent, simply because the immune system generates a response that
stops it long before it causes disease.
The virus is not a living organism. Such a dead piece of cellular
debris cannot come back to life and infect or sicken anything.
Who ever claimed it did. All a virus does it transport genes from one
cell to a next. It is those genes, which code for more viruses, which
cause the problem. the viral particles themselves are nothing more then
a container to keep those genes safe between victims.
If this were true or possible those eating carrots would take on the
characteristics of a carrot. Those eating any food, containg DNA and
viral particles would take on the characteristics of the food eaten.
As I said, these things cannot and do happen in the real world.
You have absolutely no scientific proof of what you are claiming. It
is merely an excuse, a rationale, to support your contentions.
Quote:

only way such a piece of dead organic material could ever gain entry

No. The viral capsid contains multiple proteins whos job is to bind to
the target cells, and mediate viral entry. Many viruses actually trick
our own cells into taking them up, but mimiking things our cells would
normally want to take in. This is a well established area of science,
with thousands of scientific papers to its credit.
Only in the laboratory. In the real would the suckers would be
digested, destroyed, then either aborbed as food or excreted. Your
lab data proves why everything is digested and reduced to its
elemental particles prior to absorbtion and use as new building
material for the body. Eaten protein is reduced to the elemental
proteins, absorbed, and then converted back into human protein. This
happens with every type of food substance. It the body did not do it
this way, your laboratory tricks could kick in as seen in the lab.

Lol, ignorance knows no bounds. The virus is grown, for multiple
generations, using sub-optimal (i.e. not what you'd find in the human
body) conditions. This causes mutations in the polio virus, as the
virus is forced to evolve to survive in the new conditions. After
sufficient generations these mutations allow the virus to survive in the
culture conditions, but in evolving to survive those conditions the
virus looses the ability to efficiently grow in humans.
Pretty basic biology, the kind of stuff you should have been taught in
high school.
Bryan
Pretty basic biology my arse. Pretty basic brainwashing and
indoctrination I would accept.
First of all, how do you culture and grow a virus?
Easy. You take competent cells (fancy way of saying cells the virus
infects) in a petri dish, add the virus, and put it in an incubator.
The virus grows in the cells, and you can then isolate it at will.
First you need "competent cells." This means cells that can act
according to what you want to happen later.
No, it means cells which have the necessary surface receptors for the
virus to enter the cell.
Quote: In the case of polio,
maybe this is why monkey kidneys were chosen for the competent cells?
Or human, they work as well.
Quote: You then add the virus and wait for the cells to uptake the particles
and produce more of the desired viral particles. Of course, you must
destroy the cells to then isolate the viral particles contained.
Nope. The viral particles are released into solution. We actually go
through great lengths to not lyse (breakup) the cells we use to grow the
virus, as that makes isolation difficult (you end up having to separate
a lot of cellular crap from the virus, instead of just media components).
Quote: You may be able to do this under laboratory conditions, but those
conditions do not exist in the real world. Your are fooling yourself
with laboratory tricks.
What lab conditions are required?
37C/5%CO2 incubator, competent cells (exact type depends on the virus),
and culture medium (usually supplemented with serum and antibiotics).
Let's see near body temp and 5%CO2. Do you find those conditions in a
human body?
Yes. CO2 tentions are around 5% is properly oxygenated tissues, and the
body runs at 37C unless something is seriously wrong.
Quote: Competent cells. Which human cells are competent?
Depends on the virus.
Quote: Then we would need a human body to use as a medium and ply it with
serm and antibiotics to get real world polio.
Nope. Polio happens all the time without human intervention.
Quote: Don't think so.
What medium does the vaccinator use?
Depends on the cell type under culture. Commonly used ones are M199,
and RPMI. But there is also DMEM, API, and a whole bunnch of others.
You claim sub-optimal
conditions. What are they?
Usually lower temperature - 20-25C.
How do you change the medium to a sub-optimal medium without killing
the virus?
Viruses are non-living, therefore you cannot "kill" them. So long as
the cells are competent, and the cells can survive the culture
condition, the virus can grow in them.
Wait a minute here. "Viruses are non-living, therefore you cannot
"kill" them. Why in the hell should I be afraid of them then?
Because they are capable of taking over your own cells, and utilizing
your cells biochemical processes to make copies of itself. In doing so
they cause tissue damage, disease, and possibly death.
Quote: All
they can do in the real world is to rot or be digested.
Nope. The genes that they carry can be identified by your bodies
gene-processing enzymes, and thus be expressed, causing disease.
Quote: How do the viral mutations occur?
Same way all mutations occur - through replication errors and
environmental factors.
Sounds like excuses to me to explain certain data.
Its reality. All supported by numerous scientific studies.
Quote: Sorry, but your concept is all crap.
No, its basic science - the kind we have summer students in the lab do
all the time.
Brainwashing and indoctrination can occur at any time.
No scientist has ever seen nor cultured a live virus. Hear that?
of course not - viruses are not living things.
Well, we do agree here. A viral particle is not a living thing.
But we do culture and purify viruses all the time - I've done that
several times as part of my work. We even use mutated viruses as
gene-delilvery veihicles, in which we insert a gene of interest into a
replication-defective virus, and then use that virus to transport the
gene into a cell, or animal, of interest.
More laboratory tricks that do not and cannot occur in the real world,
thank goodness.
Nope, its using a virus as a tool. the source of those vectors are
natural viruses - we simply alter them to eliminate their infectivity.
Quote: For something "imaginary", they do a pretty damned good job in the lab...
The reason for that the so called virus only exists within a LIVING
CELL.
Actually, with only the rarest of exceptions most viruses have a lytic
stage, wherein the virus deliberatly lyses a cell and releases its
capsulated form into the environment.
Now you are telling me that a dead piece of organic material can
perform some "action?" That the virus has a lytic stage? Don't think
so. The thing is dead. It is incapable of any action.
It is not dead - it is non-living. Lots of non-living things preform
actions - cars, computers, microwaves...

You claim it, but where is the proof?
In those papers I linked to in my last post.
Quote: How does the wild-type get past
our digestive system,
Transcytosis through m-cells, or through infection of dendritic cell
dendrites. Polio also directly infects the cells lining the gut, and
when it lyses those cells it gains direct access to the blood stream.
Quote: our absorption system,
It doesn't have to, M-cells & DC to transport it through.
Polio infects the cells of our immune system - specifically DC's, so the
very act of trying to respond to the virus actually provides it with
cells to infect. Given time our adaptive immune system can respond to
and eliminate polio, but that process takes 1-2 weeks to develop in an
unvaccinated person, so for that initial stage infection goes relatively
unchecked.
Quote: and
the liver to do its dastardly deed?
The liver does not filter out viruses. Rather, the Kupfer cells which
live in the blood vessels of the liver do. However, these cells only
efficiently bind to viruses if antibodies against that virus are
present. Since antibodies aren't present for the first 1-2 weeks this
means that the Kupfter cells cannot take up the virus until the adaptive
response is fully functional.
Not to mention that Kuptfer cells themselves may be targets of the polio
virus. Its controversial, so I cannot say with 100% certainty if this
is the case or not.
Quote: As such the disease it causes is
non-existent, simply because the immune system generates a response that
stops it long before it causes disease.
LOL, if only that were true. Well, it is true, assuming you've been
vaccinated. But if you haven't, it'll take 1-2 weeks to raise a full
immune response, during which time you run about a 10% chance of
morbidity and mortality.
Quote: The virus is not a living organism. Such a dead piece of cellular

cause the problem. the viral particles themselves are nothing more then

If this were true or possible those eating carrots would take on the
characteristics of a carrot.
Nope. For many reasons:
1) Carrot DNA does not have a protective coating to prevent it form
being digested, so it rarely makes it past the gut intact.
2) Carrots don't have proteins designed to bring the carrot DNA inside
of other cells. Since our cells don't naturally take up long strings of
DNA, this prevents the DNA from entering our cells. Which means that
even if long strings of carrot DNA enter our bodies, it doesn't enter
our cells.
3) Carrots don't inactivate the defense mechanisms human cells have to
prevent infection with foreign DNA. As such even if the DNA makes it
through the gut and into the cell, it will be rapidly destroyed by these
defence mechanisms.
4) Carrots do not have the enzymes necessary to transport their DNA from
the cytosol to the nucleus, meaning that even if their DNA gets through
the gut, into the cell and avoids the defense mechanisms, it wont be
transported to the nucleus where it can be transcribed.
5) Carrot DNA lacks promoters which our DNA machinery can recognize. As
such even if their DNA gets through the gut, into the cell, avoids the
defense mechanisms, and enters the nucleus, our bodies wouldn't be able
to identify the genes or express them.
In contrast viruses encapsulate their genetic material inside of a
protective coat which protects the DNA from our gut (or whatever organ
the virus is entering through). Viruses also express specific receptors
which bind to our cells, and mediate the entry of the virus into the
cell. Viruses also have mechanisms of directing their nucleic acid to
where it can be expressed, and their DNA contains promoters which are
recognized by the hosts DNA machinery.
Quote: Those eating any food, containg DNA and
viral particles would take on the characteristics of the food eaten.
As I said, these things cannot and do happen in the real world.
And they don't. Not because scientists are wrong, but rather because
your understanding of biology is so poor that the concepts you think

you seem to think science claims bears no resemblance to reality.

Nope, because the virus contains a capsid evolved specifically to avoid

bacteria which live in them. But in the real world both our gust,
bacteria, and viruses contain mechanisms to avoid digestion.
Quote: Your

Hardly. Studies on gut function demonstrate that large molecules,
molecular complexes, and even intact bacteria, frequently cross the gut
barrier. Hell, this is the whole basis of orally-administered drugs.
They wouldn't do a hell of a lot of good if they got broken down into
their constituent parts...
Quote: Eaten protein is reduced to the elemental
proteins,
You wish. Many proteins are stable enough as to not be broken down in
the gut - including the very proteins we use to digest our food. Viral
proteins are no exception - evolution has simply favored viruses with
those proteins which are resistant to degradation before infection occurs.
Also, polio doesn't just enter the gut. It can enter via the tonsils
and other lymphatic organs located in your throat. So even if you were
correct in your claims the point is moot - polio can enter the body
before it even reaches the stomach.

By with no corroborating evidence to support them. A pubmed or google

clearly spells out which institution I work for. All you've done is
claim you have a list of degrees, but there is no way to corroborate
that you're telling the truth.
And given the degree of ignorance you've shown about basic biological
principals, I'd be willing to bet money that your degrees are either
fabrications on your part, or awarded by an unrecognized diploma mill
instead of an accredited university.
So here's a challenge, either provide an external source where we can

Living organisms eat DNA and your proposed viral particles all the
time. We may even breathe them and drink them, but the viral
particles have no means to alter our genes. Generally we call the
material food. Eating the flesh, the DNA, the viral particles found
in the cow, do not convert our genes to bovine genes. In the same way
that the oncogene theory of cancer was debunked, the viral theory of
disease is false.

That is a falsehood. People of that era called things whatever they
chose. The concept of the day was the filterests versus the non-
filterests. Bacteria can be collected on a filter. There was
something in some fluids that had enzymatic activity that could not be
filtered out. If there were viral particles, they had to be in the
non-filterable part of the experimental fluid. Viral particles are
too small to be seen with a light microscope. The concept was not

America is being banckrupted morally and financially by those who
profit so greatly by this lie.

Nope. The genes that they carry can be identified by your bodies
gene-processing enzymes, and thus be expressed, causing disease.
I see this as one of the biggest problems with the viral part of the
germ theory. You do not and cannot explain with valid data where
these killer viruses hideout waiting to attack an unwary human. You
further cannot show me any documented evidence whereby these dead
viral particles can evade the human defense system of strong acid,
digestion, mucous linings, immune system, protein typing, etc. to gain
entry to any living organism.
I provided links which did exactly that. You dishonestly cut them out
of your reply, but that doesn't change the fact that they were posted.
And the handful of papers I posted is just the tip of the iceberg -
there are thousands of scientific papers which cover this sort of
material for a whole host of viruses.
Ignoring the evidence doesn't magically make it disappear.
Quote: Living organisms eat DNA and your proposed viral particles all the
time. We may even breathe them and drink them, but the viral
particles have no means to alter our genes. Generally we call the
material food. Eating the flesh, the DNA, the viral particles found
in the cow, do not convert our genes to bovine genes. In the same way
that the oncogene theory of cancer was debunked, the viral theory of
disease is false.
Its reality. All supported by numerous scientific studies.
Quite so. All psuedo scientific and not real world. Feed your viral
particles to animals and what are the results?
Depends on the virus. If the virus is capable of infecting that animal,
the animal gets sick. If the virus cannot infect that animal then
nothing happens.
Quote: Does it take only one
viral particle or millions of the little beasties to enter the body
and cause harm?
It takes only one to start an infection.
Quote:
? Don't think
so. The thing is dead. It is incapable of any action.
It is not dead - it is non-living. Lots of non-living things preform
actions - cars, computers, microwaves...
Hardly a reasonable comparison. Do cars enter trucks and have them
produce cars via their genes?
No, but cars are recycled to make more cars.
Quote: Do computers reproduce themselves?
More or less. computers are used to design computers, control the
manufacturing process, etc.
Quote:
It is this form of the virus
which is contagious, and this form of the virus is what we isolate. You
can isolate pre-viral particles and genomes from infected cells.
Only within a living cell do scientists believe that a viral
particle exists.
Hardly. The fact we can isolate viral particles outside of cells
demonstrates clearly that viruses are real.
This proves only that viral particles may exist outside of cells
before they rot by bacterial action. Where do you find these dead
critters? On our tables, our hands, toilet seats? Where are they
outside of the lab?
In the air, the water, the soil, and on solid surfaces.
Quote:
Your cannot have centuries worth of data to support the claim. The
electron microscope and the viral theory of disease came into being in
the 1930s.
Actually, the first viral particles were observed by John Buist in 1886.
He isolated and viewed small pox viruses through a light microscope.
That is a falsehood. People of that era called things whatever they
chose.
Hardly, it is a well recorded historical fact that can be easily
verified through a 2sec google search, or reading an encyclopedia.
Quote: The concept of the day was the filterests versus the non-
filterests.
Yep. And guess where John Buist found his "elemental particles" as he
named them - in filtered lymph. Later analysis of his slides (after he
died) confirmed that he was looming at smallpox virions.
Quote: Bacteria can be collected on a filter. There was
something in some fluids that had enzymatic activity that could not be
filtered out. If there were viral particles, they had to be in the
non-filterable part of the experimental fluid.
Which, strangely enough, is exactly where Buist found them...
Quote: Viral particles are
too small to be seen with a light microscope.
Wrong. Light microscopes can resolve down to ~200nm. Viruses range
from 5nm to 14,000nm, meaning that the larger viruses are easily
resolved on a light microscope. Smallpox viruses are 260x150nm; which
makes them detectable by light microscopy, although you cannot get a lot
of detail.
Quote: The concept was not
validated until the electron microscope came into being.
Hardly. Viruses had been resolved via microscopy, their size determined
accurately used more advanced filtration, and they had been shown to
fulfill Koch's postulates long before EM was invented.
Quote:
That's right - no electron microscope needed - many viruses are large
enough to be seen with conventional light microscopy. Pox viruses being
among the biggest.
You are then greatly mislead if you believe that.
LOL, I use microscopes on a daily basis. Which means I know exactly
what you can, and cannot see from first hand experience. So I know,
based on my own work, that you have no idea what you are talking about.
Quote: The germ theory only came into prominence around 1900.
Hardly, it was proposed in the 1800's, and was well accepted within a
decade or so after that.
Another falsehood. The germ theory did not come into promenince until
the work of Pasteur, during the late 1800s.
Where was I falce - I said the 1800's, which is exactly when pasteur did
his work. Likewise, his work was broadly accepted within a decade after
its publication, also in the 1800's.
One has to wonder just how smart you are - calling me a liar when the
evidence which shows otherwise is located 2 lines up in your post...
Quote: The germ theory of disease has been scientifically disproven many
times.
No, it hasn't. And I challenge you to provide a link to a single
scientific study which says otherwise.
Try reading the scientifically published work of A. Bechamp, PhD, MD.
You will find that he destroyed the germ theory of disease.
A search for "Bechamp A" on pubmed brings up ZERO hits. Guess we now
just how many scientific publications he made...
Quote: He proved
that bacteria are pleomorphic and not monomorphic. So did Rosenow
with work published in 1914 in the Journal of Infectious Diseases.
Way to join the modern era. Its funny that you so readily dismiss the
work o virologists from that time, while claiming that the work of
microbiologists during that time trumps everything done since.
Quote: You might also wish to spend a few years reading and researching the
Orthopathic theory of disease and all that those researchers and
doctors have to say on the subject.
LOL, you think Orthopathy is real. That's fresh. The thing that's
always made me shake my head about orthopathy is how do they explain
that humans who live in a more natural state live shorter lives, filled
with more disease, then do those of us who use modern medicine and live
in developed nations.
Pretty big hole in their thoery - if they were even close to being right
we should see the exact opposite trends (in terms of life expectancy) in
the world then we see today.
Quote:
Virology 101 will tell you that.
Having taught lectures in a course on immunity and infectious disease, I
can tell you beyond a shadow of a doubt that no real virology course on
this planet will claim the things you have claimed.
I would agree with that. You cannot deceive and con students properly
by confusing them with the truth. You must teach only what the
medical monopoly will allow or lose your position and reputation.
Lol, here we go - the conspiracy angle. Cannot deal with the facts, so
all of the facts must therefore be a product of some vast conspiracy
involving millions of people world-wide. Maybe there's an alien or two
in there as well?
Unfortunately the medical monopoly exists.
Really? If so, then why are there multiple drug companies - hardly an
monopoly. Or for that matter, multiple medical associations - also
hardly a monopoly.
Quote: You are a beneficiary of
that monopoly.
Yep, healthy and happy thanx to vaccination.
Quote: I was also at one time. The conspiracy of the medical
monopoly is well documented and no longer well hidden. Try reading
some of that literature.
I have. It reads a lot like an x-files script...
Quote:
The germ, viral, retro viral, prion, etc, etc, theory of disease is
false.
Despite the millions of scientific articles which show otherwise.
Right. Next thing you'll be telling me its turtles all the way down.
And no, I don't expect you to understand that reference, but it is quite
humorous if you read the same childhood books I did...
Quote: That is why we have so much sickness and disease in America.
Yeah, its horrible living in nations with so much TB, polio, mumps,
measles, rubella, cholera, malaria, and yellow fever.
Oh, wait...those diseases are now so rare as to be almost never seen by
doctors anymore.
