Wait…what! Consensus, computer models and A I generated animations based on best guesses is not Settled Science? But…the experts told us….

Correction? "Viruses don't exist" is falsifiable - by finding a virus. However "viruses exist" is not falsifiable in the absence of viruses, any more than "fairies exist" is falsifiable in the absence of fairies. Of course, the fact that such statements are not falsifiable at a particullar time in history does not mean they are not true. Hence they give rise to hypotheses which science can test. The hypothesis that "germs" (seeds of disease) exist was a valid hypothesis that was eventually shown to be true by Louis Pasteur and others. The hypothesis that "phlogiston" exists was eventually abandoned in view of the discovery of oxygen (see the excellent Wikipedia article for details).

The fact you have still not found any fairies only "proves" how sneaky they are!!

I looked through TAM's monographs ("criticalcheck"). Is TAM really an Ai Machine?

I like the statement of the teacher Osho: “Once you start ‘believing’ something you have stopped inquiring.” It is true for matters of religion and in science. In this clip Osho observes that "teachings" often are "just beautiful words...they can give you consolation, as if you know.":

Unrelated (sort-of), but in line with the tone of this article. Every so often I (a layman) try and figure out, "what do they mean by, e.g., DNA?" or, "how do they produce vaccine X or virus Y or protein Z?" or, "how do they know the chemical structure of substance S or particle P?"

https://jpharmsci.org/article/S0022-3549(19)30717-8/fulltext

Published 2020, "Identification of Formaldehyde-Induced Modifications in Diphtheria Toxin"

"Diphtheria toxoid is produced by detoxification of diphtheria toxin with formaldehyde."

"Diphtheria and tetanus toxoids are very effective vaccine antigens, virtually eliminating associated diseases in vaccinated populations. "

"These toxoid vaccines were developed almost a century ago. As a result, extensive data sets have been collected by companies and official medicines control laboratories to assure the quality of successive vaccine lots."

"However, although the formaldehyde-induced chemical modifications of the antigen largely determine the quality of toxoid vaccines, little is known about the molecular structure of toxoids."

"Remarkably, the chemical nature of each specific modification and the exact locations of the modified residues within diphtheria toxoid molecules have not yet been identified."

The year is 2020, modern science knows absolutely for sure that the acid salt of DNA extracted from pulverized calf thymus cells bombarded with X-rays has a particular structure and shape that is the same in every living thing on the planet, what the "spike protein" on a little virus looks like in glorious detail, etc.

They have no idea what happens to diphtheria toxins when exposed to formaldehyde or even their molecular structure but they've been injecting this stuff into every child on the planet for almost 100 years.

Hi Jon,

Note that the telegram comments section (which contained related links) has disappeared. This has occurred on ~15 of my posts. No reply from admin support!

Most comment links are duplicated in the FBook post (luckily).

Here is a related telegram post (that was in the now disappeared comments section):

Cheers.
