Trying to explain this to people, who are mostly idiots when it comes to science, is not going to work. To truly understand most of this information, you have to have far more than a rudimentary knowledge of biology. An idiot will only drag you down to their level and then attempt to beat you with experience! :-D

WE know that these jabs are all rubbish. WE can read between the lines of these dodgy articles/papers. WE can preach from the mountaintops about it all. But so few will listen, Robyn :-(

There's just no MONEY in what we're offering!!! Maybe if we made people pay heaps of $$ somehow to read 'the truth' about these jabs they might be more interested, ha ha...

Anyway, thankyou for your posts. They are always full of interesting information and a pleasure to read, even if the end result (idiots winning again...) is not so pleasurable!

I get what you're saying. My discussions with the 'no virus' people always end up in the same place: they lack understanding of the fundamentals of biology and immunology, so no matter how much evidence I present to them, they deny its validity. I've given up on trying to engage with them, because they don't have the intellectual integrity to get themselves up to speed on the science they're trying to dismiss as fallacious.

Anyway, I don't think Teflon Tony should be allowed to get away with publishing this in a journal that no 'average Joe' will read, rather than having it brought to public attention (or at least, the attention of the tiny slice of the public that reads my Substack!).

Fauci should NOT get away with what he's done, and is continuing to do. It's like he's still laughing at us, saying 'I'm untouchable - and I don't care about your measly little lives".

I'm glad you're at least doing your bit to hold him accountable. Thankyou.

Robyn, since we are talking about vaccines, can I ask about your opinion of vaccines for animals? Are there any vaccines that you consider benficial for cats or dogs, for example? Or would you not recommend any? Maybe this could also be a good topic for an article. Many people seem to be highly interested in it. I remember when Steve Kirsch wrote an article, telling that he was able to convince his wife not to vaccinate their cat, this led to MANY comments. Much more comments than on average, I think.

As far as I know, animals like cats may get cancer (sarcoma) from vaccines, for example. It may appear in 1 per 2500 vaccinations... And of course, other chronic diseases might also be related to vaccines in animals. But what is your opinion?

I have no doubt whatsoever that companion animals are massively overvaccinated and agree 100% with Robyn S that farmers who keep animals for food production rely on vaccinations rather than nurturing the health of the animals.

Our rescue dog was vaccinated before we adopted him. After that, we only gave him one lot of vaccines. I felt uneasy about it, but the vet wouldn't desex him without it. Every vet that I saw pushed vaccines, but when I grilled them about the incidence and risk of the diseases that the vaccines supposedly prevented, I found their answers profoundly unsatisfactory. (For example, one vet told me that many of these diseases are more prevalent in dogs that are owned by people in low socioeconomic circumstances. I can think of lots of other reasons besides lack of vaccines that dogs kept by poor people might be more prone to illness, including poor quality food, inadequate housing, and keeping too many animals at the one premises.)

Needless to say, my dog never got parvovirus, canine distemper, kennel cough or any of these other supposedly common and dangerous 'vaccine preventable' diseases.

Pet vaccination is just as bad as human vaccination. My 19 year old kelpie does not have vaccines nor any of the other poisons people pay a fortune for to injury their pets. All my dogs never got jabbed. They had very healthy lives. Look up Dr Marty Goldstein vet in the US - you can buy his books and read up on the horrors of animal jabs and other nasty concoctions. McDowells Herbal in Australia has natural treatments for horses, dogs and cats as well as humans. Their dog wormer is excellent, as are their other products. Nowadays vets make most of their money by vaccinating. From memory I think Dr Goldstein says it’s about 75%. That’s why they push jabbing and that’s why our animals get sick and die early. It is literally costing us a fortune to slowly kill these beautiful animals we love so much. Don’t do it. Save yourself a lot of money and heartache. Put them on a clean natural diet, meat, veg, fruit, bones and definitely no biscuits out of a packet which is about the same as humans eating crisps everyday and pretending its food.

I was able to find a vet in Perth who was more 'aware' and respecting of people's choices. Informed consent as they say... Hint: Try and find a vet who is also a vegan themselves, they usually tend to be more open to ideas! What he told me is that he hadn't seen a single case of distemper, in over 10 years of practice. Kennel cough is usually not very dangerous and rarely causes major issues as long as they are fed nutritiously. He said the only one to even consider, was perhaps Parvovirus that he would have any inclination to recommend (and definitely not every year!), but said as long as they are well cared for, they usually recover quite well from that one too. Aside from having the mandatory first shot (required to sell puppies), she has not received anything else. Wish she didn't get it, but it seems unavoidable. Funny thing is every website says mother's antibodies from the milk destroy's the first shot, that's why it's so important to give the 2nd one at 12 weeks or whatever. So why do they bother with the first one ? Seems so absurb. :( Either way, she's in very good health!

Well done. I hope many people read your comment, as well as mine. It might seem easy for people to feed their dogs from a packet but down the track their beloved animal will get sick and what seemed convenient to begin with will turn out to be very inconvenient, time wise and money wise. It alarms me that so many can’t see clearly the madness of injecting our pets, and ourselves, with known carcinogens won’t make us sick down the track. Particularly when we age as our immune systems are then not so robust. Also, dogs have gone without drugs and injections for hundreds of years and have been fine. We have, through greed and ignorance, bred out the best DNA of dogs and, I fear, ourselves, because of rubbish pseudoscience. It’s unforgivable madness.

Obviously you want this as a public comment or you would've emailed me! :-D

I'm not a vet, and I don't know all the ins and outs of vaccines, but from my reading, most vaccines are problematic - for humans and other animals. The testing is not done sufficiently, the extra poisons that are in these vaccines, masquerading as adjuvants, for example, can and do lead to many other conditions/illnesses/death, and honestly, most are just not necessary!

Yes, I remember that post by Steve Kirsch about his wife taking the cat to be vaccinated! She didn't in the end. And there were SO many comments, you're right!

Look, I used to vaccinate my cat, but then stopped to think about it when a vet told me that they did a particular injection in the hind leg because there was like a 1/10 chance of losing the limb. I can't remember the actual figures, but it was enough for me to freak out about it. And this was an injection just so she could go in a cat run whilst I went on holidays! My brain did the math, I didn't get her jabbed with that, she didn't go in the cat run (she wasn't happy about even BEING at the cattery, 'coz she hated all other cats, but hey, she didn't lose a limb, either!) and I stopped getting her jabbed altogether from then. She wasn't even 2 years old then. And she was fine, and lived to almost 19 and we had a most wonderful life together! And whenever I went away again after that, I got friends to come to my house and feed her. No more catteries. Problem solved - for her/us ;-)

I did hear of a lot of patient's pets having cancer during my 16 years treating them. And not when they were old, either. So they obviously weren't too healthy. Was it their diet? Was it that they'd been jabbed? Was it both? I know that personally, the jabs, flea treatments & worming tablets didn't help my girl. I got her diet fabulous (WHY do they put grains in dry cat food?! Cats are carnivores!), she got loads of attention and love, enjoyed the country property we lived at, had a nice warm bed and lived to a ripe old age. Maybe more animals should have that sort of life!

We also don't vaccinate any of our farm animals. The chickens are happy as (they're free range). The alpacas are hardy as. And the goats seem to be in pretty good health generally - except for cases of worms occasionally (worms are endemic in goats), but we're trying to get on top of that naturally, with less reliance on drenches. We do things naturally where possible on our farm, we supplement where necessary, rotate paddocks, etc, and we've never had ANY need - or want - for vaccinations.

I think we've come to the time in our world where we need to seriously consider just how many environmental toxins we're suffering from. If everyone would just stop jabbing everyone and everything with vaccines, it'd be a good start!

Animals of all sorts mostly never need vaccines, IMO. Like us, they have immune systems to help. SO, if there's a health problem, maybe we should look at how we're handling the animal, or growing them (eg chickens); what we're feeding them, what conditions they're living in. Perhaps if we fixed the actual problems instead of just jabbing them, maybe things might turn out better in the long run.

As far as I see it, one jab leads to another jab...and another. It never stops. And why? Because we want our animal food (meat, eggs etc) as an ongoing thing, for business purposes, and so we control every aspect of the animals' lives. But in doing so, we destroy the very ecosystems they live in - so of course there's going to be an abundance of worms or some sort of disease. If we just left animals to be wild then we'd not need all these interventions. But with how people handle farm animals, if we don't intervene, so many WILL die/get sick. It's a double-edged sword. The vaccines, pills & potions mostly aren't good, but without them, 4-legged animals will definitely die of eg worms if, say, paddock rotations aren't adhered to correctly; and that's just one small part of it!

What I'm trying to say is that if you CAN do the biodynamic/organic thing, then great! But to feed us hungry humans, feedlots and animals crammed in together is often how it's done. That means vaccines, drenches; you name it. But the thing is, these food animals being jabbed are slaughtered quite young for their meat. They don't have enough time to show the long-term effects of vaccines etc. BUT in people's pets, they do. Which could very well be a cause of why so many have a myriad of health problems - and die relatively young.

As an aside, the mRNA jabs aren't looking good for cattle longevity, even young ones, for instance, in some of these pilot studies.

Anyway, I'm not keen on vaccines. I've been damaged by them. I've seen, heard & read about what they do to many other people. I've seen first-hand how my cat responded to pharmacological/vaccine intervention, and I've seen how healthy humans and other animals are WITHOUT vaccines. However, I know other people who say their animals had pulpy kidney for instance, the only year they didn't vaccinate, so they always vaccinate now.

The problem is that even if the 'science' says that some intervention helps 95% of the time, what if you're in that 5% where it doesn't help? Or what if you don't have your animals for long enough to know if they're having problems with vaccination? We're playing with fire here, and I think the sooner we move away from 'intervention' and closer to how Nature intended it to be, the better off we'll ALL be.

Not sure if that answers your question about my opinion or not?!

In regards to the no-virus theory, I do find it interesting that isolated covid virus remains an elusive beast. What piqued my interest was a commercial that said, 'Masks must be worn because more than 200 million covid virus particles are released in every sneeze'. This made me think it must be easy peasy to isolate covid virus particles. However, when searching for isolated virus samples, none are to be found. There are a few claims of successful isolation, but when scrutinised they fall short. How can we know so much about viruses, but not be able to isolate them? BTW, I don't subscribe to the no-virus theory, but my policy is to never take anything off the table, too much egg on my face:-)

It's not true that isolated virus samples do not exist. The FOI requests for evidence of such, have been (deliberately?) worded in such a way as to guarantee that no documents fulfilling the request can be found. This is because the people filing these requests insist on a tendentious definition of virus isolation that cannot be met, given that viruses are obligate intracellular parasites.

Jeremy Hammond has done the best job of patiently, meticulously refuting the claims of the no-virus people that I've come across.

There's a bit of a debunking trail here, Robyn. Have you followed it? To my mind, I may simply not have sufficient understanding to decide who's right from a scientific point of view but from a psyop point of view, no virus by far makes the most sense. I have no choice but to stick with Team No Virus unless something super-compelling comes along debunking that hypothesis.

John Blaid makes the false claim that Stefan Lanka won his court case because "none of the 6 studies that got presented had proper controls". This is absolutely false. Lanka lost the court case initially because the judge accepted that the 6 papers presented by David Bardens did prove the claim that measles virus existed, and was shown to be causally involved in measles. Lanka appealed on the grounds that his competition specified 'a' paper establishing these facts, not 6. The appeal judge ruled in favour of him because he had set the terms of the competition, but explicitly stated in his judgment that Lanka had not been vindicated in his claim that measles virus does not exist. Blaid is either woefully ignorant or is deliberately misrepresenting the facts of the case. Neither option inspires confidence.

Expand full comment

Robyn, I think the way you're putting Lanka's appeal doesn't represent the situation. Lanka doesn't accept that the papers, either individually or together, prove anything, it is rather propaganda from those defeated to say that together the papers prove something and the only reason they failed was that the demand was for "a" paper - it was only one of the conditions and certainly not the only reason the plaintiff failed in his case.

From the High Court trial judgement (wonky English translation):

"In fact, the publications submitted did not meet the criteria for the award, either individually or as a whole. The court [lower court] did not examine the articles itself. These were - undisputedly - only presented in the appeal proceedings (in English) (page 256 f. d.A.). The court accepted that statements and arguments had been arbitrarily taken by the expert from the six publications and the publications cited therein and that these had been interpreted and construed contrary to the statements and intentions of the authors and that additional statements had been invented that were contained in the publications had not been made. After all, a conglomerate of statements by the authors was constructed in a way that was neither comprehensible nor verifiable. For example, the expert found the publication “H... and M.. .” either not read or intentionally misrepresented. The authors there just stated that there was no information on the replication of the virus. After all, this publication is only secondary literature and the principle laid down by the expert himself that the publication of one's own results is a mandatory requirement for this type of publication is not observed, since the authors are citing themselves."

Robyn, I wasn't aware of Jeremy Hammond's refutation of the no-virus team's work, however, from Day One with no thought in my mind about viruses not existing or anything of that nature I didn't believe in a virus because I recognised the signs of a psyop in the images they showed us against reality of people falling flat on their face and laid out on hospital floors and numerous other items against reality typical of the heralding of a psyop and my experience of psyops shows that they only do what they want for real and fake the rest - which makes perfect sense, of course, because duping people is an important part of the psyop and so often what they want us to believe isn't possible to achieve in any case.

It was obvious they only wanted us to believe in a virus not have one for real and they didn't need one for real to have us believe in it nor could I see how they would be able to control one according to their narrative - jumping from Wuhan to Bergamo to cruise ships and providing the number of cases they wanted. What they needed wasn't a virus but a bogus test to provide "cases" and this test didn't need a virus to produce a positive result. All this doesn't say there absolutely isn't a virus, however, where is the scientific evidence showing transmission? If we leave isolation out of the picture you still need transmission. Where's the evidence?

Having caught COVID and recovered, it was unlike any other virus I had before, with symptoms much similar to what is vaunted by the official channels of communication. I amongst, many, many of my peers have had this. What channels / means do you think this illness is traveling through if not through the vessel of a virus? Those early video's of people collapsing, simply designed to instill fear of a virus that was no-where near as deadly as they were claiming. You still need the images to back up the fear.

Expand full comment

While the early images certainly were designed to instil fear they were also very clear signs of a psyop along with a variety of other things against reality that weren't necessarily designed to instil fear - a lot of multi-purposing in psyops. You're not going to argue that the "covid pandemic" to whatever degree you believe the narrative is not a psyop are you?

I've heard quite a few people say they were sick in a way they'd never been sick before, however, that doesn't automatically mean a novel virus. A friend of mine in her 60s got very sick in 2019 with what she thought was the flu which she'd never experienced before and the mother of one of her colleagues only in her 60s died of what seemed to be the flu around the same time. I've never had what seems to be the flu so if I got it now then I'd be sick in a way I've never been before and I'm 62. Getting sick in ways we've never experienced before is obviously something that is going to happen to people outside "covid". I remember getting sick when I was 20 with a throat infection - never experienced it before - I was only 20 so young in experiencing illnesses but I certainly had the feeling of "never had this before." Whether or not people got sick during 2020-21 in ways they'd never experienced sickness before more than other years is difficult to determine, isn't it?

And how do we know the emotional stress caused by this alleged pandemic hasn't played a role? Loss of smell, for example, can be caused by anxiety. Perhaps those orchestrating this psyop have included "loss of smell" as a relatively common symptom because they anticipated greater anxiety in people causing it. Who knows?

What we have to do is assess all the available evidence and piece it together to make the picture that it fits best: no virus fits better than a virus, the evidence just fits it so much more easily.

The fact that the entire COVID scam is a psyop does not rule out the use of a virus which was engineered through a whole series of steps (all of which were published in scientific articles). It is evident from examination of blood bank samples, as well as banked pathology samples, that SARS-CoV-2 was already circulating in Europe, North America and Asia from mid-2019. Event 201 was essentially the planning session for turning this largely benign coronavirus into a big bogeyman.

The case count was of course manufactured by using a PCR test cranked up to a cycle threshold guaranteed to churn out mostly false positives.

Expand full comment

I'm familiar with Jeremy Hammond, I came across some of his articles while looking for samples of isolated virus, not specifically the covid19 virus, but any virus. It's all quite mysterious because no isolate samples of any virus could be found. As it turns out, labs here in Australia couldn't find the covid19 virus for trying, but that's too long a story to be told here. The strangest thing is that DNA strands can be isolated, filtering is a bit of a problem, so DNA isolates tend to be 85 to 90% pure, it's not possible to reach 100%. Given that viruses are larger than DNA strands, it's quite the mystery that no such isolates of viruses can be produced. Definition of a virus: A virus is made up of a DNA or RNA genome inside a protein shell called a capsid. Some viruses have an external membrane envelope.

I used to always say to my colleagues why are we just focusing on one instrument of an orchestra.... the immune system Is very complex and we should be enhancing all the instruments not just a myopic focus in IgG when the respiratory virus harbors in the upper airways.. what we need to focus on is secretory IgA.

I too have had my life enriched by encountering all sorts of people whose paths would never have crossed mine but for the manufactured COVID crisis. Although I always considered myself a sceptical person who was not afraid to take unpopular positions and do things that went against the mainstream, the rearranging of my worldview that has been catalysed by events of the last 3 years is something I never would have dreamed of. It's been challenging, but ultimately rewarding.

Aha, so purified cultures are available. I wonder how the seed viruses were isolated from the patients. I wonder if contamination was a problem. If that first isolation was corrupt, then so is everything else from there on. I can now see why this virus v. no virus debate is so tedious. Fortunately, I have better things to think about:-)

The processes by which viruses are isolated from the genetic material of their living hosts were described in detail in one of the Jeremy Hammond articles that I linked. I'm not going to spend time going back through them all to find it because, as you wrote, this whole argument is tedious.

My lived experience tells me that viral contagion and illness are real. If anyone would like to give me a better explanation of why my son developed chickenpox after contact with an infected child on school camp, and why the only person in our household who didn't subsequently develop upper respiratory tract symptoms followed by an itchy, vesicular rash was my husband (who had had chickenpox in childhood), than than varicella zoster virus exists, is transmitted by aerosols, and prompts the expression of a well-characterised symptom pattern followed by development of a durable immune response, then I'm all ears. And don't try to tell me that it's emotional, as that charlatan Stefan Lanka claims, or that it's some nebulous 'toxin' - what kind of toxin pops up at a school camp, and then magically appears in my house (but only after my son gets home from camp), and then only affects 3 out of 4 people living there, magically skipping the one person who previously had chickenpox? The explanations given by the no-virus people for illness are frankly ridiculous and defy common sense, let alone scientific knowledge.

I'm certainly not able to determine the exact cause of any health problem or disease, and neither are most doctors unfortunately. However, a last comment from my side comes from the head researcher of a high-end testing lab. This guy was setting up some new testing equipment and procedures and here is his testimony about purchasing samples for machine calibration; 'This whole issue of the isolation came to my attention because I was very sceptical of what of what Dr. Cowan and Dr. Kaufman were saying, I did not believe what they were saying. And then I guess about a year went by and my lab was in the process of trying to purchase PCR instruments from Thermo Fisher. As a laboratory, I went out and tried to purchase SARS-Cov2 isolate, and this is what woke me up to the whole thing. I found companies that were selling so-called 'standards' because without the standards you can't calibrate the instruments. You have to have an external standard that's usually NIST traceable. I mean all of our standards are NIST traceable otherwise how do you know what you have. Then you have to calibrate your instruments to that standard so that you have a calibration curve of concentrations. You can't just be theoretical like, oh we think that's what mercury looks like in the machine, you need to tell the machine exactly what is mercury, or a virus, etc. Well, the company selling the standards said that their standard is this; it's a combination of human cells and bovine cells mixed with what they thought was SARS Cov2. It was basically just a snot collection scheme, and they were reselling snot as standards, which is quite a lucrative business to labs that are just testing giant snot cocktails'.

I'vepersonally managed 2 labs during my career, although both were mainly for testing inorganic materials, however I can totally sympathise with what this guy is saying, without correct standards lab testing means nothing. And the debate continues.....

I would certainly agree with you that there are many diseases that orthodox medicine is unable to determine exact causes of. These tend to be the conditions that I see in my practice. However, chickenpox is not one of these 'mystery illnesses'. Its proximate cause - varicella zoster virus - has been identified, sequenced, and found in the nasopharyngeal secretions of people with chickenpox, but not in other viral illnesses. It has also been found in the dorsal root ganglia of people who died while suffering from shingles, but not in those who died of other causes.
