Stephanie,

I just discovered you a few days ago and I think you're quite wonderful and can fully relate to your frustration.

When I saw the teaser for the video in question on Steve Kirsch's substack I couldn't believe how anyone would even give a thought to a fabrication that has cheap sensationalism written all over like that one.

I'm a neurologist who worked in neuroscience for several years and I can tell you no serious self-respecting doctor/scientist would ever agree to appear in a format of that kind. To give it a fair chance however, I decided to watch it when it came out but after the first megabizarre line of argument (monoclonal antibodies being equated to anti-venom??? really??? How about monoclonal antibodies given to a wide array of diseases, eg. MS and many others?) I lost my goodwill and patience for this utter nonsense and quit after about 15 minutes (someone who's capable of such an incompetent line of argument has lost all credibility for me).

Then I was astounded with how with how much venom (pun intended) you were getting attacked and even more astounded with how much grace and patience you were responding.

Please don't lose your head over this, you are completely in the right here, don't let the irrationality, presumptiousness and foolishness that's running amok here (one of the collateral damages of the pandemic btw) get to you.

Love your articles.

PS: forgive my clumsy english, I'm not a native speaker as you can probably tell, anyway...

Thanks, I appreciate this very much. The funny thing is, I'm into all sorts of "crazy" stuff like energy healing but I have enough sense to know it's not mainstream and can seem crazy to people. I also don't see it as an insta-cure either. People like him who go on hyperbolically just lend credence to the QuackWatch people who want to paint all chiropractors and alternative healers as quacks.

I fully agree, this venom story has the potential to cause a lot of harm: to the community of those who dare to disagree with the official narratives and eventually maybe even to alternative medicine practitioners. I have a diploma in acupuncture and chinese herbalism myself and I see first hand how many chronic ailments get improved or even healed with these 'crazy' methods that main stream medicine considers quackery. But energy healing is not crazy at all. There is a scientific basis to them, it's the particle-wave duality solidly established by many 20th century Nobel prize winning physicists - so it's the main stream medicine's ignorance and not our's.

In fact this is the 'Great Reset' we actually need: working with our bodies and not against them, working with nature and not against it, working with each other and not against each other.

So, let's keep up the good work!!

Stephanie, I'm reading similar from others, so you are not alone in your skepticism. If anything we've learned the past two year, reading multiple sources and using discernment are critical for understanding what is going on beneath the noise. I'm just listening to Dr. Ruby - some parallels to what you have stated. Mathew Crawford's piece today is good too. Those trolling you could be paid to make it look like those of us opposed to mRNA gene serums ARE a cult. The truth is getting increasingly more difficult to dig out. Other than the fractured relationships and discrimination suffered, the lies are the worst.

I did appreciated hearing some of Dr. Ardis's earlier talks on Remdesivir. It will be interesting to see what comes out of some of the follow-up interviews.

The critical pandemic we're enduring now is ignorance. It's very contagious and a lot of people resist the vaccine. The victims are easily manipulated. The important question is who is doing the manipulating and why. My theory is the recent panic was driven by the dems to justify the mail ballots that allowed them to control the election. It worked well last time so they need to maintain the panic until November. The best defense is one-on-one with family and friends to convince a few more to resist the manipulation. If it ain't close, they can't cheat. If they can't cheat, they can't win. If they don't win, the insanity will end quickly.

If there is one thing I have learned over the past 2 years, it is that you will never, ever convince everybody. Even if you have all the evidence in the world, all the logical arguments, and the other theory is so full of holes it would never float even in a child's wading pool.

For your own sanity, you just have to ignore some people...

If it is any consolation, I read 3 critiques of that snake venom theory, and thought yours was the best. You cited evidence to support each of your points, and you did a very thorough job of addressing each of the holes in the venom theory (let's just call it SVT to save time!)

I haven't actually bothered to watch the SVT video, and I haven't followed up your references. The whole theory just makes no sense to me. I got CV, about 2 months ago, and I never drink tap water - only filtered water, using a fluoride filter (since I live in Australia where all our tap water is contaminated this way) which is pretty thorough, even for small molecules. And peptides are big...

Well, that is a case study with n=1, but nothing about this theory holds water. Drinking snake venom is not the same as injecting it into the blood stream. And using it in the water supply is simply not going to allow enough control of the dose to be a feasible thing, even if snake venom were toxic to ingest (I have no idea whether it is toxic or not, taken orally - it is probably not very good for you, but the oral route of administration would not be very efficient, and a huge waste of snake venom).

So yes, it is really, really weird how this has taken off... it reminds me a bit of the 5G-covid theory going around in early 2020. A few coincidental facts (like high rates of CV in large cities where 5G was supposedly rolled out shortly before, and one study which described how 60GHz frequency interfered with oxygen uptake in the lungs - when that band of radiation had not even been rolled out yet in most countries (not sure about Wuhan, but certainly not in Australia)) and a couple of influencers picking it up, and all of a sudden all the non-narrative people have been branded as nutters.

There was also that wave of stories about the New King of England, who was supposedly going to save the world.

In times of uncertainty, and being bombarded with obvious government misinformation, there is a massive vacuum that can too easily be filled by an idea that meets a need, maybe the need for a saviour, or for an explanation, or maybe just an idea that presses some emotional alarm & feeds a sort of free-floating paranoia.

I think that the other side of waking up, is being confronted with illusion - for some people, this will help us to sharpen our mental powers of discernment and learn to recognise manipulation. But others will continue to fall into the traps and get lost in the maze.

We can't do anything other than continue to point out what we see, and how we understand it. And hope that a few people will appreciate it!

Thank so much. I needed this encouragement!

Understand this copied and pasted from Peta: A recent survey conducted by the Innovation Center for U.S. Dairy revealed that 7 percent of American adults—roughly 16 million people—think that brown cows produce chocolate milk. The same survey reported that 48 percent of American adults don’t know how chocolate milk is made, according to Food & Wine.

That is worth keeping in mind, as we continue to battle for truth in the midst of mass-hypnotism!

It would be really cool if brown cows gave chocolate milk. ....but, I worked for Nestle, so I know how chocolate milk is made. 😉😋 --- I don't know how a nation with so many willfully ignorant people can be a world power. 🤔🤨🙄

Haha yes, I spoke about this in my video today. I actually feel a bit sorry for him.
