Man and Nature
Recent research in May 14, 2021 Science Magazine found in the human gut, a major extinction of bacteria with the end of hunter-gathering. It is now possible to study Native Americans poop DNA and RNA, to compare it with modern poop. Not only individual species but whole classes of bacterial organisms, were in hunter-gatherers, not there now, like Spirochetes. This lends support to the theory of Syphilis invading Europe by way of the New World after Columbus. Of course Europeans also infected inhabitants of New World.
Our bacterial gut symbiotes or commensals known to help us to digest food, are products of diet and die off by antibiotic exposures. Quite a bit of modern scientific research relates common industrial era diseases of aging, especially atherosclerosis, diabetes, even Alzheimer’s disease to our monoculture or oligo-culture gut biome. Modern humans have interdependencies with animals and plants, yet cast a much narrower net, than our forebears. We eat tons and tons of chickens, cows, and grains like corn. We befriend dogs and cats. This explains the huge biomass nowadays of human exploited species, to the detriment of many others like wild carnivores and mammoths. Pre-ag human hunter-gatherers in Nature, enjoyed a much much wider network of interdependencies with animals, plants and micro-organisms. Industrial Age humankind is walking a tightrope over Niagara Falls, a neat balancing act, likely to fall, whereas our ancestors were able to neatly manage walking as they pleased.
Another Science article talks about humans copying Corona 19 viruses into our genome. We already know that viral DNA is extensively in human DNA. The human placenta was gifted to us by viruses. We pass down about twice as much viral DNA to our children as human DNA. But SARS is an RNA virus meaning you need some type of reverse transcriptase to create DNA out of it. No problem. We have that, probably from viruses.
Considering this it would be down-right surprising if we hadn’t incorporated Covid into our genome by this time. It all means the immunity, come by naturally from infection, differs from industrial immunity you get from a vaccine. And if infection caused the reproduction of viral origin DNA that explains why people with Covid infection continue to have positive PCR tests long after symptoms. We have already found that natural immunity is fundamentally different from vaccine-induced immunity in our populations in reference to many infectious diseases. The consequences of this fact are profound, an excellent topic of discussion.
Just consider that the Covid epidemic most likely escaped from a lab. The escape theory is gaining traction among scientists. True we have no absolute proof or smoking gun which would be in following evolution of the viral genome, data not available to the public. Consider the consequences of this scenario for a moment. For the first time, we have industrial introduction of a severe infectious disease, whose effects have been lessened by industrial methods, relegated to vaccines. An unnatural Franken-virus has been mitigated unnaturally. The end result is our billions more vulnerable unnatural introduction of infectious disease and unnatural mitigation. Yuk!
