Brief Introduction to Video-42

In the video below, Sayer Ji, an alternative health advocate, interviews Dr. Andrew Kaufman concerning various aspects of the COVID-19 crisis. Dr. Kaufman has a medical degree and, as well, has carried out research in molecular biology. Although many good points are made throughout the video exchange, perhaps what might be of most value in Dr. Kaufman's presentation is the focused analysis he puts forth in conjunction with certain claims that have been made by some so-called scientists about the alleged infectious nature of the purported SARS-CoV-2 virus. More specifically, Dr. Kaufman provides some important technical details -- which are clearly explicated in his presentation -- in order to show how several of the scientific papers that are being referenced in the article on the alleged infectious nature of SARS-CoV-2 that is being critically examined during the video are problematic and, as a result, throw into considerable doubt the validity of the claims that SARS-CoV-2 has either been proven to exist or that, if it does exist, that it is infectious in nature. The critical analysis which is given expression in this video lends support to what Dr. Marcia Angell once said: "It is simply no longer possible to believe much of the clinical research that has been published, or to rely on the judgment of trusted physicians or authoratative medical guidelines. I take no pleasure in this conclusion, which I reached slowly and reluctantly over my two decades as editor of the New Engalnd Journal of Medicine" (New York Review of Books, January 15, 2009, "Drug Companies and Doctors: A Story of Corruption.") The problem to which Dr. Angell is alluding has become worse in the eleven years since she wrote the foregoing words.
