Biomedical. Dr Sam Bailey has managed to get an article of hers posted on an Australian news platform, a first for the “no proof of virus" perspective.
How to create a pandemic, Dr Sam Bailey, June 13, 2024. Links in the text at the page.
In March 2020, the World Health Organization (WHO) declared that there was a “pandemic” of a new disease called ‘COVID-19’. However, there was a critical problem from the start. On 7 July that year, the historically well-respected Cochrane group published a systematic review to determine how doctors were supposed diagnose the “new” disease in either the office or hospital setting. The conclusion of the review was staggering because it stated that: “based on currently available data, neither absence nor presence of signs or symptoms are accurate enough to rule in or rule out disease.”
This meant that the traditional diagnostic techniques – taking a careful history and examining the patient – were useless in determining whether a person had the alleged new disease. Perhaps not surprisingly, something very odd was seen the following month when the WHO published its official COVID-19 case definition stating that a confirmed case was: “a person with laboratory confirmation of COVID-19 infection, irrespective of clinical signs and symptoms.”
In other words, a loop of circular reasoning was created in which a case was defined by a test and this test defined a case. It was a monumental sleight of hand that disconnected the concept of disease from the case definition.
Indeed, during the COVID-19 era, many aspects of time-honoured medical practice were flipped on their head. When I was a medical student 20 years ago, a large part of our training was dedicated to the art of making a diagnosis. We were cautioned that while there was an ever-increasing number of “diagnostic” tests available, the most important part was listening to the person in front of you and carefully examining them. After that, the doctor may elect to perform tests to provide confirmatory evidence for the suspected diagnosis or at least use a test to help differentiate between competing “differential” diagnoses.
We also need to take pause here to consider the WHO’s insertion of, “irrespective of clinical signs and symptoms” into the case definition. Most people would assume that a pandemic would involve a huge number of sick people – that is, the counted cases have an actual disease. However, the confirmed ‘COVID-19’ case definition did not require anyone to be sick, it simply required them to have a positive polymerase chain reaction (PCR) test, or in subsequent years, a positive rapid antigen test (RAT).
While many governments and media platforms promoted the alleged impressive cumulative death numbers during the COVID-19 era, for most of us, it was a different experience. It was clear that the vast majority of “cases” were indistinguishable from the usual colds and flu we had always seen. In Australia, influenza apparently all but disappeared in 2021 and was suspiciously replaced by an almost equivalent number of COVID-19 cases as I explained in a 2022 presentation.
A huge proportion of asymptomatic cases caused the COVID numbers to soar even higher, particularly when governments started distributing RATs. Other independent researchers also concluded that the nature of the “pandemic” boiled down to one of testing, not one of a new disease. “Even the mainstream media had difficulty hiding the fact that asymptomatic cases were the majority of the positive cases as well as the fact that the more testing that was done, the more cases that would ultimately be ‘found.’…If the tests went away, so, too, did the ‘pandemic’.”
On first glance, it may appear incredible that there could be an officially-declared pandemic without any global increase in sick people. However, it can be understood by taking into account a high-level deception that took place in 2009. That was the year the WHO unilaterally redefiined the definition of ‘pandemic’ and the words, “with enormous numbers of deaths and illness” were suddenly excluded from the existing meaning.
Many people realised that there was something wrong with the COVID narratives being promulgated by governments and many media platforms. Unfortunately, the relentless fear-messaging convinced the majority that there was some degree of a “deadly pandemic” to be concerned about.
The stark reality is that there was no evidence COVID-19 was a new disease because as the official case definition specified, there were no required symptoms or signs for confirmed cases. This means that the only requirement to count cases were “positive” RAT or PCR tests. In other words, the “new” disease was only defined by some new tests. And positive tests did not need to have any relationship to what the individual was sick with or whether they were even sick at all.
Was COVID-19 the greatest scam of our lifetimes?

And, Steve Kirsch, the man who is the main funder of the “freedom movement”;s celebrity group and of the RFK Jr candidacy debated Dr Andrew Kaufman, and thoroughly embarrassed himself by melting down on camera. I know, some will hate Kaufman because he was a psychiatrist, no matter what. Please deal with the facts here.
VSRF Live #131: The Great Virus Debate! An Interview with Dr. Andrew Kaufman, M.D., Vaccine Safety Research Foundation, 6/13/24. an hour an 52 minutes.
My comments, Just how the EFF was Andy Kaufman able to restrain himself from exploding? CONGRATULATIONS, what amazing composure under relentless rude fire!!! What an EFFING INTEMPERATE POMPOUS ASS Kirsch was/is. And so incredibly ignorant, constantly arguing on the basis of circular reasoning,. “We knew they had COVID because they tested positive, and the test was valid because we knew they had COVID,” He also claimed that polio is definitely caused by a virus, rather than lead arsenate or DDT or…. the polio shots. He had no idea of the details of the first study to allegedly find the SARS-CoV-2 genome, the Fan Wu paper. He seemed to be reading answers to questions posed him by reading from a screen. This is the money guy behind the entire celebrity “freedom” virus Mafia, eh?!!! This is what you get when you cling to the celebrities no matter what, because you are 100% focused on stopping the shots, without dealing with the core narrative which legitimates the shots.
And, Admin Sam at Off-Guardian has had a similar meltdown in the discussion forum for this article.
OffG’s last word on the “lab leak” theory: Illogical, immaterial and dangerous, Kit Knightly, 6/12/24.
The “lab leak” theory is in the news again. It is essentially revealed as a mainstream position now. As we always predicted it would be. Two weeks ago the New York Times ran a long opinion piece endorsing it (we covered it in This Week). Last week economist Jeffrey Sachs endorsed it in his 2-hour interview with Tucker Carlson, and yesterday RFK jr endorsed it as part of his presidential campaign:[All these have links, the RFK Jr one is to his X page]
Isn’t it amazing how quickly it has phased from “racist conspiracy theory” to the theory of choice for the fake-alternative? And somehow – despite publication in the New York Times and the Wall Street Journal and the New York Post and the BBC and the Guardian and pretty much everywhere else – the “lab leak theory” is still sold as some kind of alternative. It’s not. At all. It’s the mainstream narrative in different wrapping paper.[SNIP]….
A few of the comments.
Jeffrey Strahl, Jun 13, 2024 6:31 PM[UT, all the time stamps are]
By not dismantling the entire contagion theory/virus theory myth,all you’re doing is refuting ONE “bioweapon” story, keeping us vulnerable to the next one.
And, hmm, didn’t you practically endorse RFK Jr for president, running several articles by writers praising him?!!

Quite a few ‘establishment’ Covid skeptics have and/or are building cottage industries on the ‘lab leak’ mythology. These individuals and institutions that are proliferating the lie that there ever was a pandemic- and I’m speaking about those within the self described “health freedom movement”- have done and are doing an incalculable amount of damage.
Those who reify this lie by stating there was a “mismanaged pandemic” (RFK e.g.) or that there was a need for “early treatment” (see: Pierre Kory, Peter McCullough and many others) or that there was some “lab leaked” pathogen that swept across the globe in Spring 2020 (too many to name off here) cover up the crimes of what actually happened in the hospitals and nursing homes, cover up the staged events that created the illusion of a medical emergency and provide cover for those who designed and executed this operation.
By eagerly getting people to chomp on the obvious “lab leak” bait dropped into the discourse they hook people into doing exactly what they want: reify the entire false foundation of the fake pandemic.
Perpetuating the lie that there was a pandemic (all pandemics are fictions) justifies the “pandemic preparedness industry” through which Big Pharma Corporations and their investors can keep siphoning trillions from taxpayers via public/private partnerships- the public foots the bill, the private sector reaps the profits. The insistence on using the “lab leak” red herring covers up the actual crimes that were committed and paves the way for future crimes

Sounds like you think you know enough about no-virus to conclude that it is pushed by “intelligence” agencies, but you’re somehow not aware of the countless published rebuttals to the point-and-declare EM-image based “virus” claims. If you find people who say “here’s the virus, duh, you’re insane!” difficult to respond to, you haven’t grasped the fundamentals yet because it’s one of the easiest claims to rebut.
Also, it sounds like you’ve somehow missed the many failed attempts to demonstrate contagion or even transmission of illness via injection and the many MDs who have pointed out, throughout the history of “germ” nonsense, the many examples of “contagious” illnesses not being contagious.
Admin Sam reacted to these and other comments by demanding that we prove viruses don’t exist, and that we’re ignoring all the accomplishments of virology, aside from the “isolation and purification question,” but was unable to provide a single example of how viruses have been proven to exist or contagion to be true.. He has basically banned me (stated he would delete any comment which didn’t acknowledge the positive aspects of Virology) because i allegedly haven’t been able to prove that viruses don’t exist (an impossibility, a negative cannot be proven), when my case was that viruses and contagion have not been proven to exist, arguing that these are mere turns of a phrase. He now claims an hypothesis cannot be shown false unless a valid alternative has been presented. This is NOT how science is done.
And, the Truth and Shadows series by 9/11 activists/journalists/investigators Craig McKee and Adam Ruff is looking at the legacy of the “COVID” Psy Op.
Craig McKee, 6/14/14.
[Embedded video, 33 minutes. Here it is on You Tube.
This episode of the Truth and Shadows podcast is part 2 of my and Adam Ruff’s dive into the fascinating debate between Chris Cuomo and Dave Smith that took place on the PBD (Patrick Bet-David) podcast. In this video we get into clips from the debate in which the two battle over whether Covid lockdowns and curfews are “totalitarian” or whether that is just “hyperbole.” Another major issue is the claim by Smith that Cuomo should apologize for his shaming of the unvaccinated, and other actions during Covid, and Cuomo’s refusal to do so.
In part one of our dive into Covid (episode 12 of the podcast) we looked at how the media and other establishment mouthpieces blamed the unvaccinated for putting lives at risk.

My comment at the page,
Jeffrey Strahl, Lockdown Times, 6/13/24.
Totalitarian control is what conditions were in 2020-21, and remain in abeyance for the next opportunity, now that the imposition of such conditions has been given a green light by most people. Thanks for calling it like it was.
And good for Adam for bringing up the names of Tom Cowan and Andrew Kaufman. But i don't think it was Cowan's book which Bob Smith handed out, because Cowan rejects both the zoonotic explanation as well as the bio-weapon now, since he rejects the very idea that either contagion or viruses have ever been proven.
I'd add that Doctors Sam and Mark Bailey of New Zealand, a wife and husband team, in my opinion better articulate the case against contagion being a proven fact at all. They have a relatively new book our, The Last Pandemic, highly recommended by me, and Mark Bailey has an excellent online essay A Farewell to Virology. Dr Daniel Roytas, a colleague of theirs, has a new book out Can You Catch A Cold? Fascinating reading. See the Substack for info on all these,
And see Sam Bailey's brand new piece at a Canberra news platform.[See today’s LT’s first item[
And, New York’s governor Gulag is now pushing a crackdown on NYC subways aimed at people who… wear masks. She got her nickname due to the harsh mandates she pushed upon the state, including mask requirements.
Gov. Hochul, Mayor Adams consider cracking down on masks on NYC subways, Brian Niemnietz, 6/13/24.
Gov. Kathy Hochul is considering at least a partial ban on masks on New York City subways, and appears to have the support of Mayor Eric Adams. At a Thursday press conference in Albany, the governor said she and Adams had discussed what a proactive mask crackdown might look like after images and videos of unrecognizable anti-Israel protesters on a subway car raised worries that some facial coverings may serve a different purpose than they did at the start of the COVID-19 pandemic. [This is a lie, facial recognition software can work even when masks are worn]
There’s also concern about common criminals concealing their identities. “We will not tolerate individuals using masks to evade responsibility for criminal or threatening behavior,” Hochul said Thursday. “My team is working on a solution, but on a subway, people should not be able to hide behind a mask to commit crimes.”
On WABC radio, Mayor Adams said he supports Hochul’s call for rethinking masks in public spaces and returning the city to its pre-COVID norms. “I think now is the time to go back to the way it was,” Adams said. He specifically mentioned “cowards” at protests who wear masks “to do something disgraceful.” An anti-loitering law banning masks in public spaces was put on the books in 1845, according to Gothamist. Compromises to that legislation were enacted more than a century later to curb the spread of COVID in 2020. The city moved to make masks optional in September 2022.
Hochul doesn’t seem intent on banning masks altogether, noting facial wear for religious purposes, holiday celebrations and health reasons might merit exemptions. The CDC also warns that COVID hasn’t gone away. “I assure everyone, we understand how complex this issue is,” Hochul said.

Ending this segment and this edition, an amendment slipped into the “Defense” bill by Democrats institutes automatic draft registration. Only the factual parts of this piece, Kucinich is still incredibly naive in clinging to his belief that a peaceful global capitalist order as possible with good leaders in charge.
America Prepares for Global War and Restarts the Draft for 18-26 year olds. Greetings to Young Americans: You are Automatically Registered for the Draft Conscription without Representation? Where and WHY are we sending our Kids to War? Dennis Kucinich, 6/13/24.
Our government is planning a big draft, conscripting millions of young Americans for an even bigger war! I call to your attention a Democratic amendment to the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA), which was slipped into the almost trillion-dollar Pentagon war spending bill, by voice vote, in the House Armed Services committee.
The Democratic Amendment to H.R. 8070, the National Defense Authorization (NDAA) reads: Section 531. Selective Service System: Automatic Registration. SEC. 3. (a)(1) “Except as otherwise provided in this title, every male citizen of the United States, and every other male person residing in the United States, between the ages of eighteen and twenty-six, shall be automatically registered under this Act by the Director of the Selective Service System.”
This amendment is in the NDAA legislation and there is no pending amendment to strip it from the bill. So, when the NDAA passes, as early as this week, Congress will have taken steps to make automatic conscription the law of the land. Why an automatic draft? Members of Congress and the President have an obligation to explain to the American people to which foreign land will their sons, and perhaps their daughters, be sent to die?
The U.S. has been in a continuous “State of Emergency” since September 11, 2001, which provides a president with over 100 powers he would not ordinarily have. Notwithstanding that the automatic draft provision will go into effect in a year, a presidential order invoking emergency powers and/or an Act of Congress, could readily move millions from their civilian lives to the front lines of a war…..
There is no other conceivable reason to require more than 16 million American males to be automatically registered for the draft, other than to prepare for a large-scale war. The Selective Service System is the vehicle by which individuals are inducted into the armed forces. This NDAA Automatic Registration amendment facilitates an efficient, large-scale draft.
The new law will automatically register all males between the ages of 18 and 26. Selective Service will notify in writing every young American male that they have been registered and will prescribe regulations which can require the registrant to provide “date of birth, address, social security account number, phone number and email address….” There are members of Congress who advocate that young women also be included in any draft, which could bring to 32 million the number of Americans of draft-eligible age.
The U.S. currently has over 1,300,000 men and women, career soldiers, as well as volunteers, serving in the all-volunteer armed forces. According to the new automatic draft law, undocumented immigrants, between the ages of 18 and 26, numbering at least 1.5 million, could also be conscripted, if it were to apply to women as well as men…..The draft was ended in 1973 and was reinstated by President Carter on January 23, 1980.
