On May 17, 2021, I joined Yohan Tengra for a livestream of his show Anarchy for Freedom India to discuss a broad range of topics related to the COVID-19 pandemic, including the claim that SARS-CoV-2 has not been isolated, germ theory versus terrain theory, the ineffectiveness and anti-science nature of the authoritarian lockdown measures, the immune system and differences between natural and vaccine-conferred immunity, the misuse of PCR tests, the extraordinary corruption within the “public health” establishment, propaganda and censorship of factual information that doesn’t align with the political agenda, the claim that 5G is the cause of the disease, and the lab origin versus the zoonotic origin hypotheses.
Specific topics that we covered include:
- How lockdowns were sold to the public as being based on “the science” but in fact were premised on a rejection of decades of scientific research into pandemic planning guidance, such as the guidance from the World Health Organization advising against things like contact tracing if community transmission is already widespread and quarantining of healthy people
- How people claiming that SARS-CoV-2 has never been proven to exist are not helping but harming efforts to effectively combat the authoritarian lockdown measures by legitimizing lockdown advocates’ claim that opponents are spreading misinformation
- How I came to do independent journalism about health and vaccines, and why I shifted my focus to this from a prior focus on matters of foreign policy and economics
- On the vaccine religion and the cognitive dissonance of dogmatism versus rationale scientific thinking: e.g., if the COVID-19 vaccines have already been scientifically proven to be “safe and effective”, then what is the purpose of continuing the phase three clinical trials?
- How there are opportunity costs to vaccination that must be taken into consideration when doing a risk-benefit analysis (but how opportunity costs are absolutely not considered by policymakers)
- How immunity is not just about antibodies and, in fact, a higher antibody titer is associated with more severe COVID-19
- How Koch’s original postulates were falsified as scientific knowledge advanced about how pathogens cause disease
- How there is a false dilemma argument about “germ” versus “terrain” theory when the reality is that it’s not either/or but both: e.g., infection with SARS-CoV-2 is a necessary but insufficient factor in the pathogenesis of COVID-19
- How efforts to develop a SARS vaccine were hampered by the phenomenon of “antibody dependent enhancement”, by which animals who were vaccinated had an increased risk of severe disease
- How PCR tests are being misused to perpetrate institutionalized scientific fraud in a way that serves the political agenda of manufacturing consent for lockdowns with their mass vaccination endgame
- How we can contrast how they count “COVID-19” deaths based on a death occurring after receipt of a positive PCR test with how they discount vaccine-related deaths in which deaths occur after receipt of a COVID-19 vaccine
- How scientists identified SARS-CoV-2 as the cause of COVID-19
- How isolation and whole genome sequencing of SARS-CoV-2 by tens of thousands of scientists all over the world enables scientists to monitor the evolution of the virus as it passages through the human population (e.g., identifying the “variants of concern” we’ve heard so much about)
- How SARS-CoV-2 curiously entered the human population already well adapted for the human host, which supports the lab-origin hypothesis
- How neither a reservoir host population of bats nor an intermediary host species has been identified for SARS-CoV-2, which poses an obstacle for the zoonotic origin hypothesis
- How viruses are essentially messengers and can integrate themselves into our genome for survival adaptations; indeed, around 10 percent of our own human DNA is estimated to be viral in origin
- The absurdity of citing a 1918 study on the Spanish flu as “proof” that viruses are not contagious
- How, unlike how public health officials count “COVID-19” deaths, deaths after vaccination are dismissed as coincidence, and how the clinical trials were not designed to detect statistically significant differences in mortality outcomes between vaccinated and unvaccinated groups
- How the “public health” establishment has shifted the burden of proof away from the vaccine manufacturers to prove that their products are safe and onto the consumers to prove that they can cause serious harms
- How in typical vaccine safety studies, the “placebo” control group is not actually given an inert placebo but a reactive substance like aluminum or another vaccine
- Why it’s important for randomized placebo-controlled prelicensure trials to look at all health outcomes, including all-cause mortality, but how this is not done, and so claims that vaccines are “safe and effective” are practically meaningless
- How vaccines can have “non-specific effects” that prelicensure trials are not designed to detect
- How infections during childhood confer long-term health benefits, such as measles infection being associated with a decreased risk of cardiovascular and other diseases, and how we require pathogenic challenges to develop functional immunity
- How policymakers fail to consider the opportunity costs of vaccination, such as those related to the differences between infection-conferred and vaccine-conferred immunity
- The problem of “original antigenic sin”
- How, contrary to the public messaging, mass vaccination could end up impeding the development of herd immunity
- Why the public messaging that “antibodies = immunity” is false, and why cellular immune responses appear to be even more important for the development of immunity to SARS-CoV-2
- How PCR tests were never validated using cell culture to determine what cycle threshold would likely be indicative of the presence of infectious virus
- How scientists who dare to speak out in ways that don’t align with the anti-science authoritarian political agenda have been attacked and censored
- How Facebook’s policy literally tells us that we are not allowed to tell the truth about COVID-19 vaccines if it might cause people to think twice about getting the shot, whereas propagating official lies about the vaccines to manufacture consent for these pharmaceutical products is perfectly acceptable
- How the mRNA and vector COVID-19 vaccines differ from traditional “live” or “non-live” vaccines
- How mass vaccination can put evolutionary pressure on pathogens to evolve to escape vaccine-conferred immunity, such as has been seen with pertussis bacteria evolving to lack pertactin, a key antigen component of the acellular pertussis vaccine
- How important it is to understand the limits of scientific knowledge about how our immune systems work, and how we are really only just beginning to understand it
- How one of the positive developments from the pandemic has been an increased knowledge among the general population about such things as the phenomenon of natural herd immunity and how immunity is not all about antibodies
- How the myopic focus on vaccines as a one-size-fits-all solution to infectious disease comes at the opportunity cost of lost research opportunities to better understand why a minority of people are at high risk with a dysfunctional immune response and to develop more targeted interventions to treat or prevent disease in those specific subpopulations
- How 90 percent of the decline in infectious disease mortality seen in the US during the 20th century was due not to vaccines but factors associated with an increasing standard of living, including better nutrition
- How the medical establishment practices medicine decades behind the science
- How there is an apparent lack of data about how long the mRNA from vaccines will persist before being broken down, and how the argument we’re given for why it cannot integrate with our DNA rests on a non sequitur fallacy
- How the “fact checkers” rightly debunked the claim that COVID-19 is caused not by a virus but by 5G technology while wrongly ignoring the legitimate concern that biological effects from EMF radiation could be a risk factor for more severe disease
- How there has never been a study comparing long-term health outcomes between children vaccinated according to the CDC’s schedule and children who remained completely unvaccinated
- How the evidence favors the lab origin of SARS-CoV-2 over zoonotic origin hypothesis
- How Anthony Fauci’s NIAID is partnered with vaccine manufacturers, and how one criterion for vaccines to obtain emergency use authorization from the FDA is that there can be no other available treatments for COVID-19, which helps to explain why data showing that various other approaches are effectiveness have been download by the public health establishment

PCR is NOT a diagnostic tool; it’s a manufacturing process. Kary Mullis, the inventor of PCR who won the Nobel for inventing it, said that it cannot be used to diagnose infectious disease. And the people who established PCR as the testing regimen must know that!
Yes, we discuss that problem in the interview.
Hi! Really enjoying the episode. Suggestion… Pls get Andy Kauffman on to debate expert who claims the virus has been isolated. He has said he is willing to have a scientific discussion with anyone who has an alternative point of view. Maybe the expert n Andy can discuss a paper(s) claiming why isolation has/hasn’t occurred. In advance of the debate both sides should exchange papers that back their point of view. Here is Kauffman’s SOVI:
https://andrewkaufmanmd.com/sovi/
I really thinks it points to a bit more than just a semantic quibble with a dictionary definition of what the word isolation means.
The first procedure outlined in SOVI that occurred prior to 1954 seems a lot purer than the procedures that followed 1954. Let’s get the experts from both camps on to scientifically flesh it out.
Regards,
Marco
I would also love to see a debate between Kaufman and a virologist.
