COVID pandemic tyrants mandated vaccination as a societal duty, lest we become disease-spreaders. The vaccinated were supposedly protected from infection. So how could the unvaccinated spread disease to them?
This highlights inherent deficiencies in the Germ Theory of Disease (GTOD), formulated as four postulates in the late 19th century by Robert Koch. Koch’s postulates require the following:
- The microorganism must be found in all individuals suffering from the disease, but not in healthy individuals.
- The microorganism must be isolated from a diseased host and grown in pure culture.
- The cultured microorganism should cause disease when introduced into a healthy organism.
- The microorganism must be re-isolated from the experimentally infected host and identified as the same agent.
The third postulate doesn’t always hold. Not everyone shows signs of disease during pandemics. A person might be infected but asymptomatic. This is simply a fact. Those recognizing this are derided by the media/medical/pharmaceutical establishment as germ theory denialists. Leftists believe that this is a sin second only to climate heresy.
COVID was a classic example of the GTOD’s deficits. COVID was not an equal-opportunity killer of 1.2 million Americans and 7 million globally. The young were mostly immune, whereas the elderly perished.
Louis Pasteur helped develop the GTOD. His nemesis, Antoine Béchamp, proposed the Microzymian theory: disease originates internally. Béchamp asserted that disease is caused by changes in the body’s internal environment, not by external germs. Microbes were a consequence, not a cause of disease.
A great deal of truth lies in his assertions. Individuals’ nutritional status and immune function are key factors. We saw evidence of this during COVID. A direct relationship existed between Vitamin D levels and resistance to COVID’s intensity. More nuanced efforts seek to bridge the divide between Béchamp’s concepts and the GTOD.
The medical industry envisioned dollar signs once the GTOD appeared. An enemy had been identified. The global war on microbes was on. Children and pets are pumped with dozens of novel vaccines. The childhood vaccine schedule is a tragic farce. By age 18, children are scheduled to receive over 50 CDC-recommended injections. Each provides profits to manufacturers and clinicians. Seniors are urged to get nine vaccines. According to RFK Jr., “50% of revenues to most pediatricians come from vaccines.”
