Does the virus exist?

Why we must learn to focus on the things we have in common if we are going to successfully overcome the tyranny that surrounds us.

I’ve just written a 6,000 word article that attempts to explain why I don’t agree with the positions outlined by Dr Tom Cowan, Dr Sam Bailey, Dr Stefan Lanka and others who claim that not a single disease-causing virus of any sort, SARS-CoV-2 included, has ever been found to exist. It’s a neat perspective as it makes absolutely everything that’s been thrown at us these last 3 years unjustified. Trouble is, not all of us are aligned on this scientific interpretation. Science is of course just a tool that helps us find ways of understanding the world around us and, contrary to what some like to claim, there are massive areas of knowledge in the biological and natural sciences about which we have only a partial or limited understanding.

If you’ve not heard much about the views of those who deny the existence of viruses, or you need to reboot your understanding of the nuances in position, a useful pit stop is Mike Stone’s ViroLIEgy website.

What’s fascinating to me is how we humans can react when foundational views are challenged. Those who deny the existence of viruses are likely flabbergasted that so many of us, who’s blindly accepted what virologists have told us over the years, believe viruses exist. What’s wrong with us, for goodness sake? We actually believe in the existence of microscopic, non-living, almost digitised, nucleic acid-based entities that have the capacity to hijack the cellular machinery of their hosts to make more copies of themselves. Weird, no?

I use the verb ‘believe’ deliberately. Ultimately, when we lack certainty over something - when the knowledge is incomplete, obscure, contradictory or too difficult to understand or make sense of - the human mind’s primary recourse is to our unique belief systems. These are a product of many things, including the knowledge we’ve acquired or decided to take onboard, our cultural background, our experiences (much of it locked away in our subconscious), our life’s learning - and of course our intuition. I created a ‘worldview matrix’ (below) that I found helpful when trying to understand why some of us see the world in such incredibly different ways.

We’re social, tribal beings. We’re also dope heads, looking for that next dopamine hit, something we get every time the reward pathways in our brains’ limbic system are lit up. These pathways get nice and active when we’re around those of like mind - it helps us stay together. The more ostracised we are by other tribes, the more we’ll search for comfort within our own.

The more down we get, the more likely we are to search out physical contact - that hug - from a member of our tribe, and hey presto, that kicks off another key hormone, the all-important oxytocin ‘love’ hormone. The tribal bond gets deeper, our belonging, love and security needs are met. Our higher needs, our purpose, whatever that might be, can best be achieved when we’re surrounded by those with whom we deeply resonate. It makes little difference whether we’re right or wrong. That can be almost irrelevant. We’re more likely to stick to our tribe than we are to throw out our beliefs and join a new one that doesn’t light us up.

So don’t expect virus deniers and virus believers to ditch their respective tribes. But tribes don’t have to fight with each other. The more we have have in common, the more we can share, and the more we can co-exist, or even co-habitate, or co-create.

In my piece I made a plea that just because we may see the world differently, we shouldn’t attack the people delivering a message that’s at odds with our own. Let’s try to figure out how to fill in some of the uncertainties around us, let’s engage with those who see the world, or an issue, differently, let’s turn the issues over, learn from each other, and perhaps come to a place of understanding each other a little better. This kind of discourse between tribes is vitally needed if we’re to emerge from our silos and develop a better understanding of the world and its dominant species.

Most of all, let’s tease out those areas over which we are agreeable so we can work cooperatively and collaboratively to wrestle back some of the freedoms we’re in the process of losing. Creeping totalitarianism, not a virus, poses one of the greatest threats to humanity, and it’s found itself a new Teflon coated slide that’s enabled it to up its progress of late.

History reminds us what happens when we show no tolerance of those with different belief systems. We’re told intolerance over different religious beliefs has shed more blood than any other issue. Many today are almost paralysed because of the polarisation that surrounds them, whether it’s at home, in their work places, or in their communities or networks.

Who’d have thought only three years ago that relationships and families would be shattered by different beliefs as to the best way of resuming societal normality in the face of a newly described infectious disease. Especially whether or not that should involve rolling up our sleeves and accepting a patented shot that gets our body to produce a patented protein that’s a clone of one dreamed up in a gain-of-function lab?

Let’s not play the same game and ostracise those who do or don’t believe in viruses. We’ve got bigger fish to fry - and we need as much unity as we can get on issues that really matter to humanity and future generations.

Rant over.

Finally, as part of our effort at the Alliance for Natural Health, through our new Health Creation Faculty, we’re holding a unique, game changing event, together with internationally acclaimed behaviour and communications expert, David Charalambous, to help us (re)learn how to…

• talk to people…

• keep the door open to…

• share information with…

• learn from…

• build more unity with…

  
  …those who share differing views. With a world in which people have been deliberately and increasingly disconnected, disempowered and polarised, these are skills we all desperately need if we’re to resist tyranny and regain our independence, autonomy and sovereignty.
  
  Join us in person (in Guildford, Surrey, UK) or online (from anywhere in the world) for a unique Behaviour and Communication Magic event on 24th September 2022.

During the action packed day, you’ll learn how to:

• unlock the secrets of behavioural science

• learn to communicate effectively with people who don’t share your views, and

• become empowered and help to empower others. In person bookings are limited.

• Book now! In person places limited.

“What we need is a new consciousness, a new awareness of what the essence of life and the essence of our human existence is, a new awareness of the central importance of ethical principles; a new awareness of the irreplaceable function in society is of what the ancient Greeks called Truth Speech and what I sometimes call ‘The art of good speech’ …… if we continue to practice it no matter what it might cost us, then totalitarianism makes no chance and the Freedom Movement will be victorious, without any violence needed.”
