TVs from our health experts the same repetitive, boring – and
sometimes even rather simplistic statements- of the different ways
to stop the spread of the Covid-19 pandemic. I relate my feelings to
my broad and varied academic training and vocations-16 years
attendance at Canadian universities getting my 4 academic degrees-
B.Sc.Hons Biology from U of Manitoba in 1949, M.Sc in biochemistry
from U of Alberta in 1952, Ph.D in Plant Pathology and Cytogenetics
from U. of Toronto in1955, and an MD in medicine from U of Manitoba
in 1960. Regarding vocations I first worked for 7 years as a plant
pathologist with the Canad. Dept. of Agriculture, then on returning to
Manitoba I graduated from medicine in 1960, did cancer Research in
Saskatoon for 4 years, 3 years setting up and directing Winnipeg
Clinic Research Institute Lab followed by medical practice in
Winnipeg for 35 years I was also a medical officer with the Workers
compensation of Manitoba for 8 of those 35 years. I also set up and
directed 2 private Research labs- one at the Winnipeg Clinic in
1965-68 and my own private research lab called the Kildonan Institute
of Gerontology in 1974 . After retiring from medicine in the mid 1990\u2019s
I also closed my private Research lab and devoted most of my spare
time informing the public about various health issues using different
educational tools including a blog and a website. I am in relative good
health and will turn 93 in June 2020 -but lets get to the topic of the
Covid-19 pandemic.
First a few general statements re RNA retroviral infections
1. The epidemics\/pandemics of Spanish flu,Ebola, HIV\/AIDS, SARS,
and now COVID-19 are all caused by the same group of viruses
namely -the RNA retroviruses- One would expect that they would
all have some features in common.- and they certainly do. For an
introduction to retroviruses. -indeed Virology 101, I recommend
this link Retrovirus <en.wikipedia.org\/<\/a>\u00a0Our specialists never tell
us to review and compare these retroviruses\/pandemics that way.
2 Also since The HIV Life Cycle-AIDS is the most extensively
studied RNA retrovirus pandemic and is the longest persisting
pandemic- especially still prevalent in Africa, I would recommend
that the reader use this RNA retrovirus to search for details on
Covid-19 This link also details one of the major complications-
Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome or AIDS. This syndrome
develops because after the HIV virus enters the host cell –
specifically the CT4 helper lymphocytes-its transcriptase enzyme
directs the host DNA genome to make copies of the HIV virus- and
presumably all the other RNA retrovirus – including Covid-19 . When
the cytoplasm of these special lymphocytes become engorged with
newly formed RNA virus copies they die releasing the viruses which
can repeat the process of invading new cells The ability of the host to
function immunologically and\/or their death of these special
lymphocytes or reducing their blood levels to 200\/ml or less. (The
normal blood level of the CT4 lymphocyte is between 500-1500 \/ml).
When these low levels are reached we say the person now has AIDSacquired
immune deficiency syndrome . The most common signs of
syndrome includes weight Karposi cancer (sarcoma) and non specific
pneumonia leading to death. By coincidence doctors have recently
reported that children with Covid-19 were developing vascular
lesions resulting in strokes and deaths while others were developing
unusual skin lesions-Could either of these conditions be suggestive of
HIV symptoms of AIDS .
This link also details the history of how scientists after studying the
pathogenesis of HIV\/AIDS developed a specific medical treatmentnot
a vaccine called ART -anti retroviral treatment which gave the
HIV victims a new life from not dying prematurally. Imagine the joy
and relief of these emaciated AIDS victims finding that the virus no
longer could be demonstrated in their biological fluids and that they
would therefore not transmit HIV but more importantly they could
even live a normal full life expectancy . Again our health specialists
fail to tell the public about this unique special medical treatment.
they reduce the target lymphocytes which the retrovirus invades and
grows- are the CT4 helper lymphocytes- these blood cells drop to
such low levels that they loose their ability to assist in the production
of antibodies- The result is that the victims usually die die from
acquired immunity deficiency syndrome. By coincidence doctors have
recently reported that children with Covid-19 were developing
vascular lesions resulting in strokes and deaths while others were
developing unusual skin lesions-Could either of these conditions be
suggestive of HIV symptoms of AIDS .

3 Probably most importantly the Specialists failed to mention the fact
that RNA retrovirus must first enter the host cell before they can
begin their division and growth No host cell wall penetration no viral
growth no pandemic! They only stress the 2 meter avoidance and also
to wash their hands to prevent infection.
4. I would also recommend to your readers to check 2 other links:
<\u00a0lifescience.com<\/a>> <medscape.com<\/a>\u00a0> In these 2 links the scientists
interviewed explain why some patients with Covid-19 may have
oxygen saturation levels of 70% or less and yet do not exhibit clinical
features of hypoxia. This raises the question should they be put on
ventolaters- a procedure normally started when the O2 saturation
level drops below 90%- raising the dilemma of whether we should
treat the clinical findings of the patient or the test. According to the
interview of this website the ER physician was removed from the
ward and returned to the ER when he refused to intubate such
patients with low O2 saturation and no clinical symptoms of hypoxia..
This issue that maybe doctors should treat the patient and not the
test also was not mentioned\/considered by specialists.
5. Since all of these RNA retroviruses have the same unique property
namely of directing the host DNA to make copies of the virus RNA
and then this RNA becomes transcribed into part of the host DNA
genome !. This raises a very fundamental question : Should
individuals after recovery from COVID-19 and presumably still have
their RNA virus as part of the host DNA genome should ever give
blood for transfusions and\/or plasma. An issue -to my knowledge
also never mentioned or discussed.
6 Regarding development of a specific vaccine.Specialists should
also warn the public that some procedures used in making vaccines
incorporate parts of living virus particles that accidentally could
create potentially new viral pathogens -This is never discussed and\/or
even mentioned by our specialists .<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
