However, outside of the scope of the [Freedom of Information Act] and on a discretionary

basis, the following information has been advised to us, which may be of interest. Most

infectious diseases are caused by viruses, bacteria or fungi. Some bacteria or fungi have the

capacity to grow on their own in isolation, for example in colonies on a petri dish. Viruses are

different in that they are what we call ‘obligate pathogens’ – that is, they cannot survive or

reproduce without infecting a host ...

… For some diseases, it is possible to establish causation between a microorganism and a

disease by isolating the pathogen from a patient, growing it in pure culture and reintroducing

it to a healthy organism. These are known as ‘Koch’s postulates’ and were developed in 1882.

However, as our understanding of disease and different disease-causing agents has advanced,

these are no longer the method for determining causation [Andrew Kaufman asks why in that

case are there two published articles falsely claiming to satisfy Koch’s postulates].

It has long been known that viral diseases cannot be identified in this way as viruses cannot

be grown in ‘pure culture’. When a patient is tested for a viral illness, this is normally done by

looking for the presence of antigens, or viral genetic code in a host with molecular biology

techniques [Kaufman asks how you could know the origin of these chemicals without having

a pure culture for comparison].

For the record ‘antigens’ are defined so:

Invading microorganisms have antigens on their surface that the human body can recognise as

being foreign – meaning not belonging to it. When the body recognises a foreign antigen,

lymphocytes (white blood cells) produce antibodies, which are complementary in shape to

the antigen.

Notwithstanding that this is open to question in relation to ‘SARS-

Cov-2’ the presence of ‘antibodies’ can have many causes and they

are found in people that are perfectly well. Kary Mullis said:

‘Antibodies … had always been considered evidence of past disease,

not present disease.’

‘Covid’ really is a computer ‘virus’

Where the UK Department of Health statement says ‘viruses’ are

now ‘diagnosed’ through a ‘viral genetic code in a host with

molecular biology techniques’, they mean … the PCR test which its

inventor said cannot test for infectious disease. They have no

credible method of connecting a ‘virus’ to a disease and we will see

that there is no scientific proof that any ‘virus’ causes any disease or

there is any such thing as a ‘virus’ in the way that it is described.
