Update has been added to address false claims made against this article by Angela Rasmussen on Twitter. Thanks everyone.

Everyone makes mistakes, but psychopaths refuse to admit their mistakes. Or did Rasmussen admit her mistake?

Yay on the fact that she (or someone at her PR firm) read it!

I also obtained a PhD in Microbiology while researching antiviral drugs for influenza and herpes viruses. Unlike her, I questioned the narrative and paid a high price for it: WHO has ordered that my LinkedIn account be terminated in August 2020. I survived longer on Twitter, but when I surpassed 24 K followers, my account was deactivated. You don't need to understand biology to figure out that there is no COVID-19 or SARS-CoV-2. Take a look at this this.https://angelovalidiya.substack.com/p/what-is-sars-cov-2-actually/comments?s=w

People like her are a disgrace to science and humanity, but because the media is involved, they are pushed, while people like me work for free for the sake of humanity. Despite censorship and the small social media following, I continue to help others in seeing different perspectives. Your writings, too. By the way, I'm a white woman of Eastern European descent. While working as a scientist at the NIH, I was badly bullied by white western women who would do anything to demonstrate me that I did not belong in their league. Men have never done it to me.

"You don't need to understand biology to figure out that there is no COVID-19 or SARS-CoV-2."

Oh dear god. No wonder you got suspended on linkedln and twitter. You are not a scientist. You are a QAnon wackadoodle conspiracy nut case who goes around impersonating a scientist. You didn't work at NIH you fraud.

When is your next Flat Earth meet up?

I could sue you for defamation but isn't worth. If you had any brain you would know that nobody cares about people who write nonsense. LinkedIn and Twitter are full of such. Only the ones who are real danger are banned. All I write is based on science but brainwashed like you who use fake profiles cannot understand it.

I'm not a scientist, but I used to be a lawyer, and a defamation suit based on shit-talking in substack comments would not only fail and waste money, but could backfire. ;)

Interesting. My diaries are contained in stacks and stacks of legal pads.

It's not quite as stream-consciousness as your first entry.

I hope to sit down and type it into substack one of these days. I've called it "inkspread" since at least the 1990s because I use a pen and ink (unlike everything online or at a job, and I've usually had secretaries, but these days it's just me)

LOL You deflected from the fact that I caught you in several lies, including falsely claiming that you worked at NIH and have a PhD, and then hid behind a jumbled pile of ad hominem and wackadoodle assertions and a silly attempt to scare me with a hysterical threat of law suit.

Thanks for proving my point that you are a fraud. If you weren't a fraud, you would have shown us proof by now that you are who you pretend to be. What a total loser internet troll you are. Sorry your not-very-convincing imposter BS didn't work. Get help.

Not sure why you think she's lying. It took two minutes to find a venerable credit in her field. It's not a solo paper, either.

This checks out with her comments. You should research first and make accusations later.

So you found a matching name in Bulgaria "Institute of Microbiology, Bulgarian Academy of Sciences", but failed to notice that there is no PhD with the name? Also, you did NOT find any results connecting such name to NIH, but feel that "This checks out with her comments?" LOL You're hilarious!

Again,

- No PhD

- No NIH history

So, I stand by my accusation that she is a fraud who lied about having a PhD and about having worked at NIH.

Your comprehension skills are a bit lacking. You should learn how to research, and then learn how to comprehend search results. Good luck.

Could you summarize what your point is short of having us download your cards from a separate site? Obviously your title is provocative. You're not saying that covid doesn't exist at all, that it's entirely imaginary?

Expand full comment

It is too long to summarized here. It is summarized in the PDF file which you can read without downloading. The data article maybe would be more suitable than the SARS https://genuineprospect.files.wordpress.com/2022/03/covid-data-by-dr-lidiya-angelova.pdf You can decide by yourself. Also I recently stumbled on another video saying interesting things https://t.me/Australians_Against_Vax_Mandates/27711 again read, listen and decide. I worked with viruses, did a lot sequencing and also PCRs. My view is of hands on scientist who wants to help people but in case people don't want to read and understand I can't help.... Truth doesn't matter how slowly will find a way. I am not one of those who deny existence of the viruses btw but SARS-CoV story is fishy since it didn't start with SARS-CoV-2 but SARS-CoV and the author of SARS-CoV is the author of the PCR test.

I stopped reading when I read, "The symptoms of COVID-19 are the same as those of well-known common diseases." This is simply untrue. Silent hypoxia is unique to moderate covid. Also, anosmia is rare in other respiratory diseases, but common to covid. Another unique feature of covid is ground glass opacities in CT scans of lungs.

Covid is spread via upper respiratory infection, but its pathology is primarily endovascular, especially via microthrombi and immunoinflammatory damage.

I'm ignorant and thus agnostic on the origins question, but I've long followed some of those scientists with penises she mentions, and you know what they don't do? Publicly talk shit about other scientists.

Finding that tweet happened rather randomly. I've followed some other women with crazy social media and noticed they eventually make snarky penis comments. I'm thinking specifically of Jen Gunter. So I just decided to search to see if Rasmussen was doing the same. She was.

This is some of the best mainstream reporting on the origin question: https://www.vanityfair.com/news/2022/03/the-virus-hunting-nonprofit-at-the-center-of-the-lab-leak-controversy

The thing people like Rasmussen willfully don't get is that circumstantial evidence is evidence, and sometimes very good evidence. People are convicted and sent to prison under the "beyond a reasonable doubt" standard based on nothing but circumstantial evidence all the time. Jurors are often instructed something to the effect of: "The law does not distinguish between direct and circumstantial evidence in terms of their weight or value in finding the facts in this case. One is not necessarily more or less valuable than the other."

Discussing circumstantial evidence surrounding matters of public import and forming opinions based on that evidence are totally legitimate activities. Attempts to shut such discussion down as the wild rantings of conspiracy theorist white supremacists are bullshit.

A judge once described circumstantial evidence something like "Five witnesses can say that a dog did not pass by, but I see the fresh tracks in the snow."

And thanks for the link. I had been leaning toward the lab theory on the basis that the lab was right there, and it's the kind of thing people would lie about.

I recall looking at Twitter origin and she was everywhere, shouting down people asking questions.

- Nobody moves to Canada to be a pipetter in a lab, when they are a successful scientist.

That's a bit harsh, I went back to engineering lab work before the pandemic and it was okay.

Solid reporting! It’s worth noting that from 2016 to 2020, Dr. Rasmussen worked on deadly viruses w/ DOD's DARPA, DTRA, & Department of Homeland Security, & at NIH's Rocky Mountain Laboratories at the BSL-4 biolab.

She worked with or for literally every US Government agency that is hiding the ball and/or redacting COVID-19 origins-related info. 🧐https://mobile.twitter.com/capitolsheila/status/1532373166722539521

Angie Rasmussen worked with the DHS?????

DHS published the “National Strategy for Pandemics” in May 2006. It was updated every two years. How could she possibly not know of it? She mocked people for panicking on Feb 20,2002 when they shipped 18tons of our PPE to China on Feb 7.

Angie Rasmussen, likely reading every comment here, is no friend to nurses. She’s part of the #IStandWithFauci crowd. If she took the time and paid attention to his negligence she would never stand with him. Unlike her, I’ve worked the front lines when a novel disease was circulating. I participated in pandemic/emergency hospital drills, studied the Six Billion $$$ pandemic preparedness plans. Not just nurses… my family of first responders did, too. They gave up their Sundays with family to host drills. We followed Dr. Fauci‘s plan, that included the precautionary principal. We follow the world health organizations plan that listed respiratory etiquette for novel respiratory diseases which includes masks and ventilation. The world health organization declared the global risk as “HIGH” in February 2020 while she was mocking us. I tweeted her the info and she blocked me. When she, or her family,loved ones and friends are in a hospital, and there’s a shortage of staff she can blame herself for not joining us and supporting us …and instead blocking us. Nurses and HCWs have fled the healthcare system because none of the EXPERTS gaf enough to follow the plans we’ve had in place… since 2005
