"What is the impact of fear" (minute 26, that's as far as I've been able to listen so far) Yeah, what are the psychological effects of STOKING fear in a population of impressionable people?

So a good frame of mind, as in the Rosenau (spanish flu) study guinea pigs, apparently is one key to good health, or the avoidance of disease symptoms. And that's especially true when facing a promoted fake viral disease. Rosenau proved as much.

Now, on top of the Hantavirus fear stoking, they've started pounding the drum for Ebola. Relentless. PBS put this out today: https://www.pbs.org/newshour/show/doctor-who-survived-ebola-shares-concerns-about-latest-outbreak-in-central-africa , complete with curlyheaded Doctor who claims to be an Ebola survivor himself, and plenty of "healthcare" workers wearing hazmat costumes, as if they might die from touching one of these "infected" people. Man on the street at minute 4:40, "we're really scared".

If they can't get people to show those gross symptoms of ebola just by scaring them, then PCR can come to the rescue by turning people into asymptomatic cases. Easy, and now the "virus" can spread without as much mess.

What info won't be given to the media machine is that the gross disease manifestations called ebola are caused by toxicity. WHO inadvertently gives us a head start on this here https://iris.who.int/server/api/core/bitstreams/3d21ab88-3985-4b9c-8065-15757dd9920c/content , and one can find other papers linking ebola to mining villages and communities. Artisanal mining, in which Africans struggling to survive immerse themselves (whether individually or with a mining company) in cyanide, mercury, etc. That's real disease, no fear stoking or virus needed.

I'm very happy to hear you say "I don't know" before you "plant your feet".

It seems the hardest thing for people to say despite it, much of the time, being the only true statement.

IMO, maintaining an open mind and realising "I don't know", or that, with new experience or information, my view may be altered, is the core of real science.

I want to put this somewhere, since I'm not on twitter, though I saw a couple of HIV notes put there today. The Guardian today features one of those "elite controllers". I don't know what makes this guy famous, though I've seen his face before. A couple useful points in this account... "In 1991, my consultant suggested that I take part in a trial of a new antiretroviral drug called Azidothymidine (AZT). I didn’t know if I was taking a placebo or the real thing, but I soon became overwhelmed by the stench of chemicals oozing from my pores.... I’m sorry, but I can’t do this,” I told the doctor. “What have they put in these pills?”... a very succinct few words that illustrate the medical model of treatment... treat disease/symptoms resulting from poisoning/toxicity with more poisoning/toxicity via pharmaceuticals.

The other moment in this article that stands out to me is the fine tuning of mental gymnastics required to accept the story of this fearsome virus capriciously "hiding" where it can't be seen. It's "undetectable", but it's there! "the Idris and Virias projects. Both study blood samples and analyse immune cells to understand where HIV hides in the body when it is undetectable in the blood or semen, and why some people can control it without medication. Each study is trying to understand whether elite controllers can offer clues towards a cure – if natural immunity could be used to help millions of people around the world."

Another note from the twitter feed... Dr Teddy (WHO) giving a grave and celebratory speech about the success of the Polaris II simulation... “This is the purpose of the Global Health Emergency Corps: coordination across the emergency workforce, building trust, strengthening connections, and working as one across borders.”

Interesting that Polaris I (April 2025) was for virus pandemic preparedness, and Polaris II (April 2026) was for that poor, neglected bacteria. "The World Health Organization (WHO) wrapped up Exercise Polaris II, a 2-day high-level simulation exercise, based around an outbreak of a fictional new bacterium spreading across the world."

Keep your eyes out for a dangerous and rapidly evolving bacterium whose evolution and proliferation is due to climate change, or maybe just some routine bacterial resistance.
