The short answer of how highly pathogenic viruses kill people is, they deplete selenium from the cells and organs of the immune system. That eventually can cause multiorgan failure and death. Killer viruses do this by genetically encoding the selenium proteins they themselves need to replicate and depleting human cells and organs of that vital mineral element. This is comparable to how the sun can kill a person if they try to cross a desert with no water. The sun kills by gradually depleting water from a person’s body. Killer viruses kill by depleting the essential selenium that cells, organs, and the human body need to function. The same principle applies. However, most viruses that infect humans are not highly deadly. Only a few are.             Adults harbor more than a hundred viruses in their body. Most people are infected by at least one of several herpes viruses. They remain ...

Dear White House Office of Pandemic Preparedness and Response.             I was infected with HIV in Los Angeles in 1983. After participating in the MACS study at UCLA for many years and then experimenting on myself and noting the effect an NF-kB inhibitor had increasing my CD4 count, in 1990 I became an autodidactic AIDS researcher and eventually attended over fifty-seven AIDS and virology conferences worldwide. In 2014 I provided the Liberian Ministry of Health the only effective therapy for Ebola virus disease discovered during the entire 2014-16 West African Ebola epidemic. When Covid first struck I sent several emails from South Africa to Anthony Fauci’s long-term deputy Clifford Lane to remind him how they could save lives from Covid. However, saving people’s lives with existing therapies was not the priority at the NIH. Developing preventative vaccines and new drug development were prioritized because those two routes led ...
