Thank you for this recommendation. We read the article on Ebola, and it was spot on in agreement with Unbekoming’s article., covered here: https://eolson47.substack.com/i/199058348/ebola

Sure wish we had a zillion hours each day to read all the great information coming out of just these two authors (Unbekoming and Control Studies/Experiments Jamie Andrews). Not to mention all the others we follow in order to share with readers.

Bottom line:

* Most science™️ is a hoax.

* Government, health officials, and most health professionals either lie or don’t know the truth.

* Do not jab yourself or your loved ones with anything.

* Avoid ingesting non-natural things. Exercise. Get sun. Sleep. And try not to stress too much. (All advice we failed to follow for a long time, except for the exercise part.)

* Avoid doctor’s office and hospital at all costs (and if you do go, it’ll cost you).

Thank you!

Can You Catch a Cold? Untold History & Human Experiments

Written and published by Daniel Roytas

Review December 7, 2024 By Tim Boyd: https://www.westonaprice.org/book-reviews/can-you-catch-a-cold-by-daniel-roytas/#gsc.tab=0

Available at Amazon (likely elsewhere): https://a.co/d/09CYfo6J

The book challenges the idea that colds and flu are contagious, citing failed scientific studies.

Military and research efforts, including U.S. Spanish Flu tests and England's Common Cold Unit trials, could not prove contagion or reliably infect subjects.

- Russian flu emerged simultaneously in distant locations; animal and human experiments often failed or showed similar results with plain saline.

- No studies used purified virus; many negative results unpublished.

- Florence Nightingale and Dr. Rodermund's pus exposure rejected contagion doctrine.

- Alternative causes discussed: nocebo effect, temperature/humidity, atmospheric factors.

A Century of Trying to Catch a Cold. An Essay. By Unbekoming (06/03/26): https://unbekoming.substack.com/p/a-century-of-trying-to-catch-a-cold

Grok summary:

Human transmission experiments over a century, including 1918 US Navy Spanish flu trials and UK Common Cold Research Unit studies, repeatedly failed to reliably demonstrate contagion of respiratory illnesses despite aggressive exposure methods using mucus, blood, and direct contact from sick individuals.

Key points

- 1918 Deer Island Navy: 62 healthy sailors exposed via nasal/throat sprays, eye drops, swabs, filtered mucus injections, blood injections from severe flu patients; zero infections in most experiments, overall ~1.2% rate across 161 sailors in 25 trials at three sites.

- Bedside exposure: 10 healthy men faced 10 flu patients each for 30-50 minutes with direct coughing; none ill.

- Other 1918 attempts (Nuzum, Selter, Dujarric, Nicolle, Michelli, Schofield, Lister, Wahl, Bloomfield, Williams): Mostly zero or very low transmission using mucus, lung tissue, blood; rare symptoms often ambiguous or biased.

- Common Cold Research Unit (1946-1989): Inoculated thousands with alleged virus material; early animal trials failed entirely.

- Human Common Cold Research Unit (CCRU) trials: ~59% case rate in some early filtered/unfiltered nasal washings (231 subjects, 137 cases), but later cell culture ~5%; overall 20-33% under direct inoculation.

- CCRU transmission tests: Fomites, aerosols, prolonged contact, island isolation mostly failed; one natural cold case transmitted variably.

- Methodological issues: Self-selection, repeat volunteers, self-reported symptoms, holiday-like conditions inflated results; highest rates tied to weakest methods.

Researchers expressed perplexity at resistance to infection despite concentrated unnatural exposures.
