Norman Swan has a piece today on these numbers. (https://t.co/ERqs0LO7OX) Infection isn’t mentioned as a possible smoking gun. Not just SARS-Cov2 infection, any infection. Medicine is still stuck in paradigms that are physico-chemical, rather than biological. 1/5 https://t.co/FOVnnafaUw

I strongly believe the American biologist Paul Ewald will be proved right, that the origin of most chronic disease will be found to be infection. That includes cancers. We see that causation being revealed every day in research. Humans are societies of microbes. 2/5

Not biomechanical machines. There is an ‘atomic’ root cause for all things, which when found provides true causation. For humans and all living things, that root cause is microbial. Microbes are the atoms of life. 3/5

That view has made its way into medicine, with the now acknowledgment of the profound role of gut microbes, for example. But the transformation still has a long way to go. Microbes were swept out of mind by successful vaccination and antibiotics. 4/5

But these were always control measures. The greatest threat to human health is always infection, because it targets our root mechanism. We are microbial beings. All life is a civilisation of bacteria mostly, with viral interlopers. /end
