Although the pandemic industry claims otherwise, one hundred years of discovery and evidence show that “zero covid” is impossible to achieve. Yet this is the idea that many governments and their collaborators pushed during the covid era.
It is ignorance of the history of discovery and study of respiratory viruses over the last 100 years that ensures that distorted and unrealistic messages such as “zero covid” are easily spread.
What Dr. John Snow discovered more than 100 years ago is still relevant today. He said in the 1850s that when an agent has run out of susceptibles, its circulation sharply declines in a matter of days or weeks.
Dr. John Snow was a British surgeon and general practitioner who is considered one of the founders of epidemiology, the study of the spread of diseases. In 1854, he investigated a cholera outbreak in London’s Soho neighbourhood, which was a major turning point in the understanding of the disease.
Snow began by mapping the cases of cholera, noting that they were concentrated around a particular water pump on Broad Street (now Broadwick Street). He also interviewed local residents and collected data on the cases.
Snow’s investigation led him to conclude that the outbreak was caused by contaminated water from the Broad Street pump. He discovered that the pump was located near a cesspit, which was a common source of sewage and waste. Snow’s data showed that people who drank water from the pump were more likely to contract cholera than those who did not.
Below is the fifth of a series of 18 posts by Trust the Evidence telling the story of Dr. John Snow (1813-1858), a pioneer in both anaesthetics and epidemiology.
