Request
I recently read that Public Health Scotland stated there are “cases of monkey pox” in Scotland.
As a tax-paying, free man of Scotland I am writing to you in your capacity as an employee of the publicly owned Public Health Scotland to please answer my Freedom of Information request.
I want to ask you about the existence of the so-called “monkey pox virus” that is supposedly causing a disease called “monkey pox”.
The questions I ask are these:
Is there a laboratory in Scotland that has actual material samples of “purified monkey pox virus”? I do not mean an in silico, computer generated genome sequence. I mean actual material samples of “purified monkey pox virus” that were taken directly from the bodily fluid of a verified infected person that is available for independent analysis?
I am asking specifically about “monkey pox virus samples” that were purified from human cell tissue and the bodily fluid of a verified infected person. I do not mean “monkey pox virus samples” that were purportedly found in a mixture that consisted of human cells, fetal bovine calf serum, three different types of antibiotics, DMEM(Dulbecco's Modified Eagle Medium)and vero cells from monkey kidneys. That is the mixture that virologists draw from when they claim to have “isolated virus particles”.
Is there a science paper that is also available from a laboratory here in Scotland that lists the exact process carried out into the “isolation” and “purification” of the “monkey pox virus”?
Do you know of a laboratory here in Scotland that has produced a full genome sequence from “purified monkey pox virus”? Have experiments been done to infect animals or humans with purified "monkey pox viral samples" to determine if it causes the disease “monkey pox”?
To be clear here as to what I am asking.
If a “virus” exists in the form of a protein molecule surrounding a strand of RNA, then it should be recognised as a “thing”. This “thing” should therefore be able to be separated from other “things”. If there are supposedly hundreds of thousands, if not millions, of “virus particles” in the tissues and bodily fluids of an infected person, then it should be very easy to find these “virus particles” and separate them out from outer particles.
I am respectfully requesting that you, in your position as chief executive of Public Health Scotland, investigate the existence of “actual material samples of purified monkey pox virus” that are present in a laboratory here in Scotland. I do not mean an in silico, computer generated genome sequence that is written on a piece of paper or in digital form, but actual “material samples of purified monkey pox virus".
I do not want to receive a response about what other countries have done or to be given a link to documents on the WHO website.
I want you to prove to the people of Scotland that there is a disease called “monkey pox” that has been caused by the “monkey pox virus”. I want you to prove that experiments have been done here in Scotland to provide actual “material samples of purified monkey pox virus”. I want you to prove that if this has been done, it was then verified by an independent laboratory here in Scotland and that the experiment’s results were peer reviewed.
There are people around the world sending in FOI’s to their governments and health officials asking about the existence of the “monkey pox virus”. The results that are coming in are showing once again that no “monkey pox virus” has been isolated and purified from an “infected person”.
If you cannot prove beyond all reasonable doubt that there is a disease called “monkey pox” that is caused by the “monkey pox virus” then Public Health Scotland is being remiss in its announcements that “monkey pox” is here in Scotland. This kind of announcement is causing unnecessary fear and alarm to the free people of Scotland.
If I do not receive a response from you within 21 days I will assume that you cannot provide evidence of the “monkey pox virus” having been purified, and that actual material samples exist in any laboratory here in Scotland.
