Then there’s the “It’s Gene Therapy, Not a Vaccine with Dr. David Martin” podcast on the Weston A. Price Foundation website. This is the Foundation that once issued a press release entitled “ FDA and CDC Bias Against Raw Milk.” Yes, the CDC has warned about the possibility of getting dangerous infections from raw milk, otherwise known as unpasteurized milk, as I covered previously from Forbes. The Foundation website doesn’t really describe Martin’s scientific background, simply saying that “he received his Undergrad degree from Goshen College, Master’s of Science from Ball State University and Doctorate from the University of Virginia,” without specifying the actual subject matters of his degrees. So it isn’t clear why they chose him to talk about Covid-19 versus someone else who happened to go to college and some kind of graduate school. On the podcast, Martin said the following: “The problem is that in the case of Moderna and Pfizer, this is not a vaccine. This is gene therapy. It’s a chemotherapy agent that is gene therapy. It is not a vaccine.” Chemotherapy? How did that word get in there? The National Cancer Institute (NCI) defines chemotherapy as “treatment that uses drugs to stop the growth of cancer cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing.” Isn’t mentioning “chemotherapy” when you are talking about a vaccine against a virus like mentioning spaghetti and hot dogs when talking about building a bear in a Build A Bear Workshop? It’s mixing different things that don’t seem to be related. Martin then tried to explain, “What is this doing? It’s sending a strand of synthetic RNA into the human being and is invoking within the human being, the creation of the S1 spike protein, which is a pathogen. It’s a toxin inside of human beings. This is not only not keeping you from getting sick, it’s making your body produce the thing that makes you sick.” No, no, no. Spike proteins line the surface of the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV2), which looks like a spiky massage ball but shouldn’t be used as one. The spike protein helps the virus enter your cells. But the spike protein itself is not supposed to make you sick. Claiming that the spike protein alone is responsible for illness would be like claiming that a bleached blonde wig with frosted tips alone can cook like celebrity chef Guy Fieri. The rest of the podcast didn’t exactly scream science. It included the statement by Martin that “Covid 19 is not a disease. It is a series of clinical symptoms. It is a giant umbrella of things associated with what used to be associated with influenza and with other febrile diseases.” No. Covid-19 is not a giant umbrella. Where the ella, ella, eh, eh did that come from? Covid-19 is not the flu either. Repeat, having Covid-19 is not the same as having influenza. forbes.com
