I forgot to point out that Steve Kirsch's mentor, Douglas Engelbart, was a Naval tech genius.

I'm struggling to wrap my head around all the twists and turns. But pneumonia has me intrigued because in the 1918 pandemic it was the major cause of death. A gram negative bacteria called Pfeiffer's bacillus was thought to be the causal of "influenza" at the time. They vaccinated soldiers for pneumonia (and many other things) to try to prevent deaths. Point being they targeted pneumonia, not "Pfeiffer's bacillus". Curiously US soldiers preparing to go to war were worse hit (higher mortality) from "influenza" than those on the battle field, or the citizens.

I'm working on writing some stacks on my findings but other projects have my attention ATM. As far as I can tell "COVID-19" is a repeat of 1918 flu in way too many aspects, and the pathogen is the scapegoat.
