Here's Andrew Kaufman's point by point response to Jeremy Hammond's claims that the no-virus crowd is naive and unscientific.

Kaufman is thourough, level headed and methodical

Thank you, Tobin, for the write-up and kind words about my views and work.

The ritual aspect is very relevant to the current practices and regulatory approval of medicines. At the regulatory level, medicines get approved under the guidance of physicians and pharmacists, considered subject experts in the “science of medicine.” However, as noted, science is hardly part of their curriculum and practice.

This is often evident from the regulatory evaluation of the medicines. For example, as noted in one of my blogs, describing,

“ ... certain practices (“rituals”) have to be suggested to come up with some standards, any standard, that everyone has to follow. Presently, this standard is called Q-Value (to make it sound professional!), which is 80/30, i.e., 80% of the drug should dissolve within 30 minutes. Where did this number, 80/30, come from? One is not expected to ask or know! One just has to accept it. However, based on one’s negotiating skills, one can negotiate this number to get another number for one’s product, say, 70/45 or 75/20 or any other.” (https://bioanalyticx.com/current-practices-of-dissolution-testing-are-not-about-developing-or-evaluating-products-anymore-they-have-become-campaigns-to-continue-using-the-flawed-apparatuses-with-made-up-qualification-and-val/) . Sounds familiar (PCR test?).

It is from my “previous life” (so to speak, i.e., it relates to pharmaceuticals and drug dissolution testing). I copy here the part to describe how the regulatory authorities set the standards. This is from the USP/FDA, CDC/FDA version for pharmaceutical evaluations.

Furthermore, the technique mentioned above, i.e., drug dissolution testing, has never been validated for the intended purpose. From a scientific perspective, there is a serious lack of understanding of using non-validated tests or testers. It amounts to scientific fraud (https://bioanalyticx.com/covid-19-open-letter-to-physicians-pharmacists-and-laboratory-managers/). However, authorities use and require the testing routinely. It is because of a lack of appreciation of science and the rituals “sell” very well.

So, current ritual-based practices (considered “science”) in setting regulatory standards and evaluations must be urgently addressed.

Thanks for your comment! When I first began discovering the lack of validation of tests (PCR and anitibody tests with no gold standard, no isolated antigen) I was afraid to even think the unthinkable. What! Question the "rigors of accepted science"?! It's refreshing to have someone like you with decades in the field confirm what is actually really obvious when one begins digging into how things are really done.

The Italian scientist Dr Scoglio has written about these tests. He points out that there are actually only a few "antibodies" that are ever tested for. They can be counted on one hand: IgA, IgE, IgG... He says they're not specific, and as far as I can tell they're not. Do you have any opinions about that?

Antibodies tests are as invalid as the PCR test. Besides many technical difficulties in conducting an antibody test, it violates the fundamental requirement. Developing and validating a test requires the reference standard of the substance it is supposed to test. In this case, the virus and/or its protein which is not available. Hence, the antibody test becomes invalid as well.

Users and promoters of such tests do not realize that it is illegal to use them and punishable by law. For example, see how a 9 billion dollars high-flying test-developing company (Theranos) got punished and disappeared from the market within a few months.

That's very interesting. I believe Stefan Lanka served a cease-and-desist order to Christian Drosten for his invalid PCR protocol that became the most widely used in the world for testing for the imaginary SARS-CoV-2. I never heard any news of it after that.

It is puzzling about not opening the link (article), but I just checked, and it works from my side. It may be a cache” issue.

About the “cease-and-desist order,” I am not aware of it. However, if anyone (like an investigative journalist) would like to pursue it, it should be an easy win and will help humanity avoid the tragedies of pandemics and vaccinations.

I had the same problem with the "continue here" link for your article as before. I don't know if its just my browser, but other articles on your website with a "continue here" allowed me to download the full article

I just encountered a fascinating article telling how we got into this mess. It really looks to be by design.

On Polio, virology, and the history of modern medicine, the Rockefeller Institute, the AMA, and more.
