For Kary Mullis, perhaps include this Tweet from Michael Senger:

"For what it’s worth, I just met Kary Mullis’s ex at a conference. She’s certain they killed him."

"Tanzania's Covid-denying president, John Magufuli, dies aged 61"

John Magufuli was an academic scientist, with a PhD in Chemistry, before entering politics and rising to President of Tanzania from 2015 to 17 March 2021. He was re-elected for a second term 28 October 2021. He objected to the COVID-19 hysteria on multiple grounds, based on his scientific background, famously subjecting a papaya, amongst other common items, to a COVID PCR test, eliciting a positive result and showing the absurdity of the test. Despite his electoral success, demonstrating the popularity of his sceptical approach to COVID, he died of a ‘heart attack’ in March 2021. He was succeeded by his deputy ‘Mama’ Samia Suluhu, a career bureaucrat and WEF acolyte, who rolled out the textbook plandemic response as President.

Here in Spain, there were some jokes about Magafuli's name. Years ago, someone invented the word "magufo" as an insult to people who like alternative medicine and question the obvious flaws and swindles of Government medicine.

Spain is very far away from Tanzania, but the video of this man trying to dismantle the hoax ("we did a test to a goat and to a papaya fruit, both positive: this is an invalid test") was used to attack dissidents in Spain during the very hard lockdowns we suffered, plus six months curfew, all measures illegal and unconstitutional.

Anything was used to harass us. I won't forget the damage the majority of the people did to my country.

The dissidents in Spain remember Magafuli with respect and affection, and sometimes his name is rendered as "Magufuli" to ridicule our those who hate us. John was right, it was all a hoax. Alas, most people fell for it.

For the collection of weird coincidences.

Wasn't Kary Mullis the inventor of the PCR test? And he said the PCR test should never be used to see if someone had a disease?

Since this was a new coronavirus we would have no accurate test at all, no golden standard. And not a single gov't official addressed that that I could see.

Didn't the PM of Japan also "die", maybe 2022? I think Abe was his name. Yep.

Mullis said that the PCR should not be used as a diagnostic test. The presence of virus or genetic substance does not imply disease. It's a proxy test at best, and an inappropriate categorical bypass.

PCR is a manufacturing process and it's not a test at all. At most, its output can be a sample to be used in a real analytical test.

I think this point has to be emphasized.

Also, there was no virus at all. Sorry if this offends you, because that's not my intention.

Zev Zelenko passed away June 30th 2022.

Here is his last video, I think its from June 29th: https://rumble.com/v1asojc-dr.-zev-zelenkos-last-appearance-and-final-message-to-the-world-this-is-our.html

He had already a "rare cancer" in her heart and lungs years ago, I think he said this happened in 2018. So he spent the last years of his life preparing for his death, with great mental clarity and love for God.

He lived the way he wanted to live and he was blessed with happiness.

Rest In Peace

Are we certain he indeed died?

Expand full comment

I don't know what you mean by that.

I think Zelenko was legit.

Do you have evidence he was a chaos agent, an impersonator who faked his own disease and death? What are your thoughts?

A reflection: We on the no-virus side believe that diseases can be caused and resolved by nutritional deficiencies, such as zinc deficiency. It's obvious that when a disease has progressed too far supplements are not likely to save a person about to die. The nutritional deficiency has to be addressed before the disease progresses.

I don't know why some people in the no-virus camp act as if everyone but them was an agent of chaos, and a target for attack.

The fact that doctors still believe, or pretend they believe, in germ theory of disease, does not imply they cannot help people by helping the body to restore itself to health.

All the doctors on our side used to believe in germ theory too, and their way to learning the truth did not involved being trolled on the internet by a zealot.

My friend, you have to learn to make better arguments if you want to help.

I think that the question is perfectly legitimate given all that we have seen. I think that the demonstration of genuine figures---even if we are biased due to overlapping beliefs with our own---is a fundamental and epistemological question that needs on evidence before the asking. The burden of legitimacy is on those who want to use a person as an icon.

Here's a story about Frank Plummer getting a brain implant to treat his alcohol problem - there's even a picture of him during the surgery (it might have been a recreation):

https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-50858172

Plummer's surgery was done at Sunnybrook Hospital, which is an arm of Sunnybrook Research Institute, which made waves for being among the first places to isolate the Covid virus:

https://sunnybrook.ca/research/media/item.asp?c=2&i=2069&f=covid-19-isolated-2020

Peter Breggin, now being sued for $25 million for being mean to Dr. Malone, has repeatedly condemned deep brain stimulation and I believe stopped similar psycho-surgeries from being used by the VA. It's a tenuous connection, but at the least it's a reflection of how it is such a small world. Everyone at Sunnybrook would be well aware of Dr. Breggin, and probably suffered financial loss because of him.

Here's a picture of Plummer with Fauci:

People Whose Deaths May Relate to the Plandemonium

Date: March 30, 2020

Event: Death of Alexandra (Menkin) Milgram, widow of Stanley Milgram. I know she was old, but it's hard to believe she wouldn't have said something publicly (and been covered in the news) about the Milgram experiment we were all living in (mask narc'ing, for example) if she had stayed alive. I remember looking her up in the spring of 2020 and being surprised that she had just died.

January 2021

Dr. Steven Wright (UK psychologist) who died 10 days after his first Astra Zeneca jab from a blood clot on the brain, 32 years old. This may be quite significant - the corona originally wrote "natural causes" on the death certificate, but his widow forced an inquest that called for the wording to be changed to "unintended complications of the vaccine". She's had a government payout from the compensation scheme (£120,000, which feels mean) and she's now in the process of suing AZ.

"Shasha-Biton said on Saturday that she would “unreservedly” help implement the plan. Despite her initial opposition to the proposal, she voted earlier this week in favor of opening schools on September 1 under the vaccination program."
