Greetings

Below are some comments and questions regarding Dr. Shankara Chetty’s position on Covid-19 as expressed on Sirius FM on 7^th September, 2023.

The relevant excerpt of the interview is here

Please note that this is not a comprehensive commentary on, nor analysis of, what was said by the two individuals being interviewed.

1. Both individuals did not provide any evidence for their claim that a virus called Sars-CoV2 exists and causes Covid-19.

2. The PCR is not a diagnostic test and should therefore not be used to diagnose any condition according to the inventor of this replication technique, Dr. Kerry Mullis.

3. No evidence was provided for the contagion claim.

4. Dr. Chetty: “When I look at the science of virology, I do understand that it is outside the ambits of the way science is structured.”

My comment and Question: The statement is contradictory. The first part says virology is science, the second says it is not. ‘If virology is not science, then what is it?’

The definition of science:

The investigation of natural phenomena through observation, experimentation, and theoretical explanation. Science makes use of the scientific method, which includes the careful observation of natural phenomena, the formulation of a hypothesis, the conducting of one or more experiments to test the hypothesis, and the drawing of a conclusion that confirms or modifies the hypothesis.

5. Dr. Chetty: “I think it is the arrogance and ego of scientists and researchers that prevent them realizing that there’s more that they can see and touch and feel.”

My Comment: ‘This is an ad hominem argument or ad hominem fallacy. The website effectiviology.com explains the ad hominem argument as follows:’

An ad hominem argument is a personal attack against the source of an argument, rather than against the argument itself. Essentially, this means that ad hominem arguments are used to attack opposing views indirectly, by attacking the individuals or groups that support these views.

Ad hominem arguments can take many forms, from basic name-calling to more complex rhetoric. For example, an ad hominem argument can involve simply insulting a person instead of properly replying to a point that they raised, or it can involve questioning their motives in response to their criticism of the current state of things.

6. Dr. Chetty: “It is not all that we observe that we should believe. I think that observation is not necessarily the path to enlightenment. Observation has its limitations. I think the path to enlightenment is to not observe but to receive.”

My Questions: ‘Does this mean that viruses do not need to be observed to know whether they exist or not?’ What is the definition of enlightenment according to Dr. Chetty? Are all those who believe that viruses exist without providing any evidence for their position enlightened individuals? Is it just the belief in viruses that makes them real?’

‘And are those who request evidence from these individuals who claim that pathogenic viruses exist, unenlightened?

According to the online dictionary, one of the definitions of enlightenment is “education that results in understanding and the spread of knowledge.”

7. Dr. Chetty: “What’s in a name? Whether you call it a virus or not, I know that there’s an infectious agent out there that is causing disease.”

My Question: ‘How does Dr. Chetty know this if he has not provided any evidence that the claimed infectious agent exists?’

8. Dr. Chetty: “When people deny the existence of a virus, fair enough, are you denying the existence of a name or are you denying the existence of an infectious agent that causes pathology? Because if you’re denying the existence of an infectious agent that causes pathology then you are being disrespectful to the people who died with that infectious agent.”

My Comments and Questions: ‘A name is a word or phrase designating a person or thing. It is not a living entity which exists, so its existence cannot be denied. Claimed pathogenic viruses have never been proven to exist. How is it being disrespectful to people who, it is claimed, became ill and died from an infectious agent, to ask those who made this claim for the evidence for their claim? What if they were deceived or were being dishonest about the cause of illness and death of those people? Would asking the claimants for evidence for their claim as part of the process of uncovering the real cause of illness and death not in fact be showing respect for the dead and the loved ones they left behind?’ 

9. Dr. Chetty: “I would like someone to explain how people were getting critically ill and dying if it wasn’t for a virus.”

My Comment and Questions: ‘This statement boggles the mind. On what basis is the claim made that a virus was the cause of the illness and death of these people? Are claimed pathogenic viruses the only cause of illness and death?’

Covid-19 is the effect. What is the cause?

10. Dr. Chetty: “I think, Shaffat, the pandemic has enlightened quite a few of us. I can’t say that I was a complete anti-vaxxer from the start. I do see some of the benefits of stimulating immunity.”

My Comments and Questions: ‘So, Dr. Chetty admits to having been an unenlightened individual before the pandemic. For how long did Dr. Chetty recommend and promote vaccines despite there being absolutely no evidence of their safety or ability to protect against claimed infectious agents? Also, it is impossible to inject immunity into anyone because this is a completely unnatural process which bypasses the body’s natural defenses. Now, since Dr. Chetty was unenlightened regarding vaccines and their purpose until Covid came along and motivated him to truly look into vaccines, and since there is no evidence that pathogenic viruses exist yet Dr. Chetty persists in propagating the narrative that they do, does this mean that Dr. Chetty is still unenlightened regarding this matter?’

11. Dr. Chetty: “And so, when you see that kind of thing happen you know that it is infectious. It is not something that was applied to people homogeneously. Whatever its name might be, it’s infectious and it’s transmitted between individuals dependent on their susceptibility.”

My Questions: ‘How does Dr. Chetty know this is an infectious pathogen which is transmitted? Has he provided any evidence for this claim?’

12. Dr. Chetty: “Now, subsequently we had Long Covid cases where people were getting illness that wasn’t subsiding and when we treated them they got better but when we stopped treatment, they got worse.”

My Comment: ‘I would suggest Dr. Chetty watch the webinar by Medical Doctors for Covid Ethics where Arthur Firstenberg spoke about Long Covid. Here is the link:

13. Dr. Chetty: “The Chinese had found a positive PCR rectal swab, which meant it was in your stool.”

My Comment: ‘As mentioned, the PCR is not a diagnostic test and concluding that Sars-CoV2 was in the stool based on this test is an invalid conclusion.’

14. Dr. Chetty: “And what he found was that there was a lot of viral particles in the stool.”

My Questions: ‘How did he know those were viral particles and not something else? Also, did he observe these particles or did he receive them? As Dr. Chetty mentioned, observation has its limitations, so I’m assuming he received them. And if he received them, what exactly does this mean?’

Regarding the claim that Sars-CoV2 was found in stool samples, below is an email from Christine Massey in this regard:
