There were so many things I left out because I hit the limit, such as Remdesivir being administered late in the disease progression being a factor, how there was no actual indication as to "what" snake venom he is referring to- snake venom is actually comprised of many proteins, enzymes, carbohydrates, etc. that would all be factors to consider, how acetylcholine is actually found in many neuromuscular junctions and not just in the brain. If anyone finds anything else they had questions on please leave a comment!

If you haven't already seen it watch Amandha Vollmer's video rebutting this absurd snake-alicious sensationalism.

She also speaks to the problems in the "Covid truther" movement so it's worth the time as her talk addresses more than just Ardis' documentary and interview with Stew Peters.

It helps that she's pretty funny and straightforward.

"Everything is Covid-19- remember they sold you a story. It's all bullshit."

This is what too many who are "in the know" including Malone, McCullough, Kennedy, Kirsch, etc. won't confront. It's all fraud- it's all lies- the whole thing.

Thanks for the substack, and I appreciate you realizing that you need to watch the video in order to comment on it. I saw the video last week, and I found it very entertaining and kept my mind open. I felt that Dr Ardis's emotions were intertwined and clouding his rational judgment. Then he added the religious language at the end, which is interesting considering the possible Freemason ties to covid, but I think sticking to the science when proposing new information like that is better.

Lots of Stew’s guests have really wild stories. I haven’t seen enough proof submitted to believe many of them, but I still watch his show occasionally and just had to watch “Watch the Water!” It was Stew’s usual type of show to me. In fact, I was shocked in the past when a couple of well-known scientists/doctors appeared with him. I think Stew is so eager for the “truth” he believes everything people on “his” side tell him. He wants to believe.

I wonder if the text to Dr. Ardis really happened and if it did, why? It just seems to be an odd little story to me. What would have been the next move from the texting doctor if Dr. Ardis hadn’t taken the bait?

I tried watching the video and couldn’t get through it, it was so bad. I used to listen to Stew’s podcast because he would occasionally have legitimate people on who provided good information. Also, we need strong advocates for the side that values liberty and bodily autonomy and I thought Stew could be a voice and vehicle for that. I was willing to put up with some shenanigans here and there because I understand entertainment and salaciousness sells. But, and yes it’s a big but, like Sir Mix A Lot big, I started to notice Stew was, like you mentioned, selling fear just like other media does. Irrational, nonsensical fear with an agenda and a product line available behind it. The fear peddlers were pushing conspiracy nonsense based on pseudoscience. When Carrie Madej came on and showed hydras in the vaccine vials my eyes rolled so far back in my head I could see my brain. Then Stew had on Kevin McCairn to discuss the covid fiasco and all Stew could do was sandbag him over Kevin’s criticisms of Carrie’s pseudoscience and history of pushing various conspiracies surrounding transhumanism and 5G, etc. Kevin was politely backing off and admitted it’s worth investigating anything properly but that the tact used by Madej would not be effective in convincing normies because her ideas were too wild and unsubstantiated. All Stew could manage was to attack Kevin for badmouthing her in a pathetic bout of white-knightism. This was the moment I realized that Stew’s program is 100% entertainment aimed at a specific demographic and he was likely to do more harm than good to the cause of liberty. He has few scruples and as you pointed out, is too ignorant and incurious to educate himself enough to rebut fantastical theories that may damage the reputation of legitimate guests on his show. I groaned when some of the more prominent scientists and doctors appeared on his show. Great analysis, I’m grateful to have a resource to confirm my immediate suspicions that this was total horse****.

As a group we ran over a dozen tests. Rain water tested positive for Covid19. Well water faint positive. Bottle negative. Ph9 water no trigger. Salvia negative. Tap water negative. Culligan 1Gallon Jug negative.

My amateur science is in my own stack.

7/8 outdoor tests positive for covid. My BBQ cover with fresh rain water tested positive.

Trust the same scientists who went along with the vaccine? No fully, they don't deserve it anymore.
