SCIENTISTS SAY THEY HAVE THE CAUSE OF SARS

April 11.  Two studies in the New England Journal, plus WHO, plus the CDC appear to reflect the final judgement on SARS.

It's a peculiar, never-before-seen coronavirus.  There seems to be a groundswell at WHO for a name, too, paying tribute to Dr. Urbani, who died right after he IDed the germ.

Get this: The Urbani-SARS-Associated Coronavirus.  USAC.

I think WHO wants it to be called the USA virus.

Perhaps this UN agency is trying to extract revenge on the US because Bush went to war in Iraq without UN approval.

Anyway, the Reuters dispatch on all this appears to confirm, by implication, my worst suspicions.  They have not tested for titer, which means they have no info on how many viruses are in the body of a given SARS patient.

For them, finding the virus in a few patients was enough.

But of course, it's absurd to say you have the cause of a disease when you haven't bothered to check on how many little germ invaders are supposedly doing damage.

To cover this intentional research flaw, a few researchers are suggesting that the USA virus may provoke a strange response from the immune system---the immune system  attacks not only the USA virus but HEALTHY CELLS AS WELL.

This pure speculation is intended to explain, in advance, how a few USA viruses could bring about "so much damage."

Of course, if germs in general could provoke such a misguided response by the human immune system, the human race would have died out long ago.  The immune system is geared to attack a given germ, not healthy cells.  To suddenly say the immune system, in this particular case, is so addled---where is the evidence?  Where is the proof?  

There is more.  We are also told that, in looking for the cause of SARS, researchers found antibodies to the USA virus only in people who had SARS.  This sounds good on the surface, but it is circular reasoning, because SARS itself is being defined by the presence of the USA virus.

I'll put it another way.  Give me a lab and a little money, and I'll show you a hundred patients who have all the listed symptoms of so-called SARS but show no antibodies to the USA virus.  At that point, WHO and CDC would say, "See, these are not real SARS patients because they don't have antibodies to the USA virus.  They don't have the USA virus."

THIS IS DISEASE DISCOVERY BY ARBITRARY DEFINITION. 

I'm very familiar with this strategy.  You start out with a list of vague symptoms---cough, shortness of breath, temperature, lung problems.  Then you say you've found the germ that causes these symptoms.  Then you say that anyone who does not have the germ but has the symptoms must have some other condition.  Meanwhile, you have no proof that the new germ is a cause of anything.

It's the old AIDS scam.

Furthermore, to take the scam a step further, you stand the history of medicine on its head and you say that people can die from this new disease even though they have antibodies to the USA virus---whereas, antibodies traditionally have been a GOOD sign, a sign that the immune system has mounted a successful defense against the virus.  

It looks like we're going to see a blood test for SARS, which will be a test for antibodies to the USA virus.  If so, many people who are very successfully warding off this little virus will be told they are in danger and must be isolated.  

And, I predict, the blood test will read FALSELY POSITIVE because it will turn out it reacts to 140 things BESIDES the USA virus.  Thus a very wide net will drag in all sorts of people whose tests are false positive.

There is still some question about how far they intend to take this whole SARS hype.  But these new studies, and the naming of the germ---these are not good signs.  The blood test for the virus---this would be a very bad sign.  

All sorts of drug companies are positioning themselves to make THE DRUG TO TREAT THE VIRUS.  However, there are no medical drugs of note that, even by conventional standards, are accepted as viral treatments of any kind.  That is a good sign, for the moment.  Without an accepted drug, no disease invention gets off the ground very far.

However, we may see some additional bold hype along this line.  "Voila, we have a drug."  Or we may see a vaccine rushed into production.

I can't emphasize enough how shoddy and absurd this "SARS science" is.  

Dr. Peter Duesberg, who wrote the first journal article rejecting HIV as the cause of AIDS, tried to set some conventional standards for calling a germ the cause of a disease, in addition to those standards traditionally used by the mainstream.  He said you had to show the germ was in plentiful supply in the body.  And you had to show that the germ was actually doing something to damage the body.  You had to prove there was injurious biological activity.

He was ignored then, and now.

Of course, there will be many people who take off from this "discovery" of the USA virus.  They will accept USA as the cause without question.  Then they will say it was made in a lab and foisted on the population as a bio-terror attack.  They will hit the ground running.

Meanwhile, there is no proof that a unique disease condition called SARS even exists.  And there is no real proof that some germ called USA is doing harm to the body.

But that doesn't stop people.  

In the background, completely ignored, will be the fact that many people with these vague symptoms who strengthen their overall health will throw off "SARS" like a mild cold.  That is the real kicker here.  That is the real proof that the medical cartel is out in left field, as usual.

In left field, they want you to think that, if you have these symptoms, you are in real trouble.  They want you to go into a tizzy.  They want you to be afraid, get diagnosed with the SARS label, get your twelve seconds of notoriety and go into isolation.  They want you to become a pariah.  They want your friends and family and contacts to look at you as a carrier.
