Wild how old pseudoscience is back:

Amy Proal joined the Marshall Protocol cult 20 yrs ago. Her PhD is in its quackery that posited vitamin D & hidden infections cause all disease.

With big funding (crypto guy, crank billionaires) she pushes dubious claims that long COVID is persistent infection.

Author Resia Pretorius' activities make me doubt her sincerity. For years, she has been associating with charlatans who profit from suffering and doubt.

Finally found the time to dig a little deeper into this company's timeline. It's packed with antivaxx massaging. This personnel decision also does nothing to inspire confidence.

Weil Russia Today die heutige Anhörung im Bundestag zum Thema #Desinformation live übertragen hat, will ich mein Statement als Sachverständiger (Danke für die Einladung, @spdfraktion.de) auch hier niemandem vorenthalten:

Based on the content, I am not yet sure whether Invivyd perceive vaccine skepticism as a danger or an opportunity. The timeline suggests both.

These people are developing into a collective movement of vaccine-skeptics with conflicts of interest.

Gofundmee Kampagne mit Spendenziel von 6000 € mit bereits 2346€ erreicht.

#PostVac Bettellei scheint sich immer noch zu lohnen. Bald 5 Jahre ohne medizinischen oder statistischen Nachweis voller Geldmacherei und Scharlatanie.

Desinformation zu trennen.
In entsprechenden Kreisen wird jede Ausstrahlung wie ein Sieg gefeiert, man fühlt sich bestätigt.

Von sowas kommt sowas.
Eines von zahllosen Beispielen - wenn auch eines der Extremeren.

Die Sendung Nano genießt ein hohes Ansehen.
Zuletzt ist sie jedoch wiederholt durch Beiträge von Anti-Impf-Aktivisten und Querdenkern aufgefallen.
Eine Redaktionelle Prüfung ensprechender Beiträge wäre mMn wichtig um Qualität zu sichern und Information von

22-Oct 2022 headline from The Economist A new paper claims SARS-CoV-2 bears signs of genetic engineering But it has yet to be peer reviewed. And others strongly disagree

🧵Remember the preprint claiming SARS-CoV-2 has a "synthetic fingerprint"?

It said a restriction map was "extremely unlikely to have arisen by random evolution.”

I took its claims seriously.

The "synthetic fingerprint" hypothesis collapses. My new preprint explains why.

Not being a scientist myself, I cannot judge Pretorius' work.
She is highly regarded in the community of people affected by Long Covid and has the trust of many people.
By participating in these events, she is helping all these charlatans to appear reputable.
Imho that is fundamentally wrong.

Bad blood? The uncertainty around microclots and Long COVID Scientists are debating whether microscopic blood clots are responsible for the wide range of symptoms in Long COVID.

In an interesting article by Undark, scientists who are very critical of the microclot hypothesis have their say.

In the past, Pretorius's interests were apparently broader.

Here, some extreme ideas about SARS-CoV-2 and vaccines are shared.
Everything is as usual at these meetings. Why Pretorius still participates after all these years and does not offer any decisive opposition remains unclear.

Another event sponsored by Gerlach and moderated by McMillan was recently held online.

Joachim Gerlach, the man behind the products Vedicinals9/Molecusan, recently organized a “Spike Congress.” Participants had the chance to win his products. Most likely a promotional event.

The repeated recommendation of Kell's by Vedicinals9 and the anti-vaccination organization UKCVFamily on his blog seems somewhat irritating.

Resia Pretorius and her colleague Douglas Kell are also regular guests.

19/

There are connections to other individuals and organizations.
Philip McMillan acts as a health influencer. All well-known disinformation activists appear on his shows.

18/

The platform is clearly being used to promote products.
Some of these are from laboratories, but many are also from Vedicinals9, aka Molecusan, distributed by Joachim Gerlach.

17/

The group purports to represent patients' interests. In addition to information about Long Covid, it also spreads all kinds of misinformation about vaccines and other health topics.

Back to Pretorius.
She has long been involved with contrarians and antivaxxers, speaking at their events and sharing some of their absurd positions.

At events like this, Jäger warns against the COVID-19 vaccines.
Infertility, turbo cancer, shedding... you name it.

She currently works at a dubious clinic.

Beate Jäger's business model is based on HELP apheresis treatments for Long Covid and “PostVac”.
In the case series she has published, those affected experience nothing less than a miracle cure.

Incidentally, Felix Scholkmann, an anthroposophist, also works for INUS. One of his papers, which is full of hearsay stories from antivaxxers, achieved a certain degree of fame and is repeatedly cited in relevant circles.

INUS Laboratories
Here, a naturopath has built up a small empire of quackery.
One of the services offered is “Inuspherese”, a blood purification procedure that is supposed to help with just about everything from Long Covid and “PostVac" to HIV - for which there is no evidence of effectiveness.

Closely associated with the FLCCC, he is not only against masks and vaccines, he also considers them potentially more dangerous than infection.
At an FLCCC conference, he repeats Laubscher's statements and emphasizes the connection to Pretorius and Kell.
