The science behind Covid-19

By Jude Josue L. Sabio.

WHAT is fearfully thought to be Covid-19 is just a harmless and beneficial enzyme naturally produced in the body to fight toxin: the exosome.

This is the professional conclusion reached by Dr. Andrew Kaufman, M.D., an American qualified physician who aired his professional view through a video uploaded on Youtube. His video shatters and debunks the myth propagated by Chinese medical authorities and sensationalized media about a novel virus called Covid-19.

Dr. Kaufman began by painstakingly tracing the events back to ground zero at Wuhan, Hubei, China where the Covid-19 reportedly originated at an unsanitary seafood wet market. He scrutinized how the first tests were conducted arising from a mysterious case of pneumonia: Instead of other possible causes like “bad seafood”, the Chinese medical team immediately suspected a virus based on the clinical indication, among others, that the patients did not recover after taking antibiotics. Out of the first 198 patients, lung fluids were taken from the lungs of 7 of them; but instead of “purifying and visualizing” the suspected virus, what the team did was the finding of genetic material called RNA and its sequencing; a diagnostic test called PT-PCR was quickly undertaken by which it was concluded that the RNA pertains to the Covid-19.

In his analysis, Dr. Kaufman criticized the early tests made in Wuhan by saying that the tests did not “purify and visualize” the suspected virus, which should have been done at the outset. The actual tests merely looked for the RNA which was misleadingly related to and thus used as a basis to identify the supposed virus; the basic flaw of this kind of method is that the RNA could also be present in other particles in the lung fluids such as exosomes; as a result, exosomes could have been misidentified as the virus. The tests should have adhered to the “gold standard” requiring such “purification and visualization” to determine that the RNA came only from the virus, not anything else. In other words, the tests should have “purified and visualized” the virus itself from which the RNA can then be pinpointed as coming from the said virus.

Dr. Kaufman went on further to point out that, since the tests failed to meet the “gold standard,” the result is that exosomes were the ones detected in those tests. According to him, exosomes naturally occur in body cells and can be found also in the lungs. Exosomes are produced by the cell to fight toxin coming from a variety of sources: disease, infection, toxic substances, stress (fear), ionizing radiation, cancer, asthma, injury, etc. These exosomes play a beneficial role in a person’s health because these enzymes fight toxins when there is an insult or infection in the body.

He presented electron micrographs taken by electron microscope of exosomes and of what is thought to be Covid-19. Two sets of comparative micrographs reveal the similarity of their shape and appearance. In terms of measurements by nanometer, the size and diameter of what is said to be Covid 19 and exosome, whether inside or outside a cell, are exactly the same. Both of them also contain RNA and the same ACE 2 receptor.

Dr. Kaufman quoted from an expert James Hildreth, M.D., the President and Chief Executive Officer of Meharry Medical College who said in his professional article that “. . . the virus is fully an exosome in every sense of the word.” Dr. Kaufman describes the so-called Covid 19 as “indistinguishable” from an exosome.

In his professional conclusion, Dr. Kaufman stated that there is no conclusive evidence of the existence of the so-called Covid 19. Instead, Dr. Kauffman opined that what we are told to be Covid 19 is just the exosome. According to him, the reported illness said to be caused by a virus could be caused by some other factors, which trigger the production of exosomes that are, in turn, detected as “false positive.”

It is also interesting to state that Dr. Kaufman debunked the PT PCR test as being unreliable. According to him, this test does not conclusively determine if a person is infected with the virus because it functions only in the finding and sequencing of RNA which could be present in other particles. Under a rate of 80% for error, this test could lead to a “false positive” that could bloat the numbers of so-called positive tests.

In relation to chloroquine which is a cure for malaria, rheumatoid arthritis, and lupus, which New York Dr. Zelenko found to be 100-percent effective for 699 patients, Dr. Kaufman explained that chloroquine produces lysozyme enzymes which eat up toxins; this explains why it is effective.

Given that the Japanese anti-flu favipiravir or avigan is found to be effective for what is said to be Covid-19, and considering that this so-called Covid-19 behaves more like the seasonal flu than anything else, I submit that influenza or “influenza di freddo” appears to be consistent with what Dr. Kaufman stated that the illness now spreading is caused by some other infection.

It is asserted that the clinical consequences of this Covid 19 may ultimately be akin to that of a serious seasonal flu, according to the top US expert Dr. Fauci who said, in his March 20, 2020 professional article in the New England Medical Journal, that its fatality rate is only 0.1 percent, not 3.4 percent as what the WHO said. For his part, Dr. Kaufman even asserts that the illness does not rise to the level of influenza, because its fatality rate is very much lower than that of influenza.

The survival rate of Covid-19 is very high, even as it fatally and severely infects only the elderly, those with underlying chronic illness and those who are immune-compromised. By way of support, it was recently reported in this paper that the reported 1,311 in Cagayan de Oro City who tested positive was reduced to only 30, which must be consistent with the fact that people usually recover from the flu in 7 days.

In the 2009 H1N1 swine flu pandemic, then Health Secretary Duque deemed it to be just ordinary flu, because the first patient was cured by the common anti-flu drug Tamiflu. Even though the H1N1 swine flu also caused the Spanish flu pandemic in 1914 which claimed 50 million lives worldwide, Secretary Duque was unperturbed in just treating the 2009 H1N1 swine flu as ordinary flu, resorting only to a policy of mitigation, not lockdown.

It sounds queer that we do not hear from national health authorities what drugs are being administered for reported Covid-19 patients. More particularly, unlike in the 2009 H1N1 swine flu, now Secretary Francisco Duque has been silent on whether he administered Tamiflu or Bioflu to the first Covid-19 patient.

Neither did he announce that the Japanese anti-flu drug favipiravir or avigan, which is available, was secured and tried, given the lockdown emergency that authorities are handling. I wonder if Secretary Duque would still not try to procure and use this Japanese anti-flu drug now that Japan is reported to be donating this drug to other countries.

What we consistently hear instead from authorities is that this covid 19 has no cure, as if they just want no cure for it perhaps to protract the lockdown, whipping up public paranoia.

Unlike Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, the WHO Director-General who is not a doctor, Secretary Duque can be assumed to know what an exosome is because he is a doctor who must have at least a general knowledge of this matter.

I assume that he knows what Dr. Kaufman is talking about; but if by happenstance he holds a contrary professional view, he should come out with evidence to back up his assertion in the interest of public health. The WHO Director should also respond to Dr. Kaufman’s revelation. Otherwise, the conclusion of Dr. Kaufman who can be considered a “bright boy” must be accepted in the interest of science.

By way of my public challenge for Secretary Duque to resign, I am asking this fundamental question again to him: Does it make sense to continue a lockdown and stop the economy altogether when what we fearfully think to be a deadly virus is nothing but a harmless exosome, if not just flu?
