Who’s afraid of Friedrich Loeffler?
The virus-challenge that nobody dares to take?
In my previous post I demonstrated that viruses exist, not through any of the modern virology methods - such as cell cultures, electron microscopes, genome sequencing, or even the synthesis of a complete virus from commercially available DNA or RNA strings - but through the basic work of a German veterinarian, Friedrich Loeffler, first published in 1897 (his reports are available from this author, in German).
In a time when electricity and telephone were still extremely rare, and the fastest German car could not even reach 20km/hour, Loeffler did a series of basic experiments on foot and mouth disease (FMD) in cattle and pigs. Yet his results - FMD is caused by submicroscopic particles that only replicate in the host - complied with the essence of Koch’s postulates, a logical framework adapted over time to proof causality in infectious diseases.
Loeffler found something that doesn’t exist in the view the no-virus defenders, so I have repeatedly asked them to show us where Loeffler must have gone wrong.
Although my request was specific, the response I got only contained the usual insults (like Mike Yeadon’s “everybody saying that viruses exist is a liar and a fraud”, and others with a much worse vocabulary), and the usual distractions (like someone showing his impressive creativity by sending me a 1889 paper on diphtheria). I even got offers of money to demonstrate that viruses exist. Where else do you find that in a “scientific” discussion?
All this happened after I had banned the worst insulters and attackers from my site! In the last post - The proof of NO-no-virus - I had to ban one more, while another attacker got so entangled in his insults that he crashed on his own, while wiping out all his comments, and also the post on his Nevermore site in which he had attacked me ad hominem.
So please, Team No-virus, show us that you are not part of a psy-op, and bring in your intellectual and specific arguments on where Loeffler went wrong!!
With kind regards,
Mees Baaijen
The rediscovery of a study that meets Koch’s postulates is actually a heavy blow to contemporary virologists. Since it highlights the question: Why have the modern clowns abandoned these perfectly reasonable requirements? Or watered them down?
Because they have committed these crimes against science we can’t use a foot and mouth Trojan horse to smuggle back the entirety of their findings. And we ought not get hung up on the term “virus”. There is no alternative but to start over and apply Kochs postulates and then see where we are at.
It’s pretty telling that Mees had to go 128 years back, and to another species, to so spectacularly prove his point. I can’t help it that I sound like I am defining the problem away. But we have to find a different category for these little guys, once we can figure out where a proper application of science leaves us.
Endobacteria can live inside cells, then multiply and sporulate. Spores exit the cell, may pass through a filter and be mistaken for a virus. Then, if they are lucky, enter another cell and restart their lifecycle.
