Preface
This essay draws from Virus Mania: Corona/COVID-19, Measles, Swine Flu, Cervical Cancer and Other Viral Diseases—Why Vaccination, Profits, and Coercion Do Not Protect Us (3rd edition, 2021) by Torsten Engelbrecht, Claus Köhnlein, and Samantha Bailey. The book documents a fundamental problem in virology: the scientific standards established in the 1950s for virus identification were quietly abandoned in the 1960s when researchers couldn’t find the viruses they were looking for. What follows examines the evidence for this claim and its implications for modern virus detection methods.
