I must correct a key typo. I am overseas so being a bit hasty. It is not “my podcast“. The link is to David Crowe‘s podcast, which I had nothing to do with creating, although I wish I could explain things in detail the way he does…

Regarding the question about PCR. I am sure many of you are quite familiar with David Crowe. He was a friend and mentor to many of us, a very tall and gentle spirit who had a deeply keen mind, and who spent hundreds, if not thousands of hours investigating the various “virus tests“. Below is a link to my podcast that he made early in the “covid pandemic”. This was one of several excellent podcast, most of which were interviews. I have previously provided a link to my paper on false positive PCR test, which demonstrates pretty good evidence that this technology cannot be used to tell you what bacteria or virus is present, Let alone if it is actually making trouble for you. I consider it a nonspecific marker for immune stimulation, and immune response when it is used as “viral load“. I have also addressed this several times in my own substack posts.

I dunno if you are still answering questions but when you do the PCR post... do you know how Kerry Mullis actually came up with it? I know the story he told about being on the beach after taking acid and the thought coming to him (something like that anyway!)

It is a great story and he always struck me as a great guy. I also am aware that many great scientists, like Duesberg, said Kerry had an amazing mind but he wasn't an ordinary scientist - I think meaning he was a bit wacky but capable of far greater things than the average high IQ guy, he was able to learn but was also able to see things others missed.

But how does his idea become the technology?

I have often wondered if the tech was mostly already sitting there and he thought of a new use for it or if other people helped him. I'm sure he had help.. but how much help?

Maybe he goes into this in his book. I've yet to read it though I've heard it is a great read.

Were there several prototypes of the PCR machine that didn't work?

My comment is long enough but I do want to make it clear to people that I'm not meaning to attack Kerry Mullis in anyway and maybe people who know more than I do will think the question is old and has been answered many times before.

Anyone and please explain the difference in isolation between "regular"virus and retro viruses?

Just a further clarity in which category retro virus falls to, harmless or poisonous
