The Branching of the Road: New program about A Course in Miracles

Dear Friend and Listener:

This week, statistician Christine Massey returns to the program and we discuss whether virology is really a science.

The question is not so far-fetched. Science must be repeatable. There must be controls in any experiment. There must be a testable hypothesis and sound methodology. I have followed the virus issue since the 1980s: I’ve researched and reported on HIV, HSV, HPV, polio, SV-40 and now SARS-CoV-2. When you dig into these subjects, you discover that that there is no continuity to any discussion; there is no solid ground. Everything is based on a guess or a computer model.

I have two other scientific specialities: astronomy and toxicology. The issues are fairly easy to follow. While inferences are sometimes drawn (what is dark matter?), it’s easy to follow the rationales, whether honest or dishonest. It is easy to see agendas and profit motives at work. It is easy to follow the mathematics. Studies are almost always verified by further research. One builds on another.

Even one of the world’s top virologists and masters of the PCR test — Dr. Stephen Bustin of the UK — authored a 2017 paper demonstrating that the majority of findings in the field of virology cannot be reproduced. If a study is not reproducible, is not an established scientific finding.

Similarly, according to Dr. Christopher Korst, thousands of published, peer-reviewed papers are based on misidentified or contaminated cell lines. These fundamentally flawed studies are then cited even tens of thousands of times by other published, peer-reviewed studies that take their incorrect findings as scientific fact and then “build” on them.

We are Listener Supported Community Radio

Thank you to everyone who has contributed to Chiron Return this month and for the past two years as we have unraveled the Covid story. We do something rare: primary source reporting. We are not merely rehashing what others may say; we are going right to the sources of data and top experts in their scientific fields.

I know everyone and their aunt is asking for a monthly donation. This is far preferable to advertising sponsorships and dark money.

We are doing extraordinary work that is underfunded. If you listen to Planet Waves FM, if you come to me for information or refuge, please support our efforts. To do actual journalism takes substantial effort, time, energy and resources. Many people help me because it’s the right thing to do at this time in history. Scan down our front page and you will see why.

The program runs on a lot of love and a little money — but we do need to meed our modest budget every month. Anyone who initiates a monthly donation will receive an astrological chart set. We are generous with astrological gifts to program supporters.

If you cannot afford to contribute financially, please help by spreading the word, post the program to social media, or send us story leads. There are volunteer positions available as well.

IF you steward a charitable family trust, and you endorse the work that we are doing (including the early covid chronology (a true journalistic achievement), Covid19 News, and our other projects) and want to be a major donor, please contact me directly.

Thank your your participation.
