My Amazon books review of Carlo Brogna's book The Secrets of SARS-COV-2: The Real Truth (2023)

A Plague on Both Their Houses?

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on April 12, 2023

To use a metaphor from Shakepeare’s play Romeo and Juliet, Carlo Brogna’s new book (The Secrets of SARS-CoV-2: The Real Truth, April 2023) seems to “cast a plague on both houses” of the debate over whether there is such a thing as a coronavirus or not. Brogna presents microscopic photo evidence that he interprets as showing that SARS-CoV-2 (the respiratory disease that causes Covid-19) is neither an isolated virus, nor ordinary influenza, neither merely decomposed cellular debris called Exosomes. Rather, Brogna shows that viruses don’t appear in isolation and can only co-exist with bacteria, called bacteriophages.

Bacteriophages are parasitic-like, non-cellular micro-organisms (lacking living cells) that infect and replicate only in bacterial cells (think of asexual reproduction) and are considered viruses. Viruses have a tiny crown-like outer edge and are the most abundant biological agent in the world and not something only produced in a lab. Another term for bacteriophage is virus. Viruses are not made from cells, can’t maintain stability, don’t grow and they can’t make their own energy. Bacteriophages can be beneficial in halting bacterial infections or can become dangerous in themselves, such as in sepsis.

In other words, viruses do not appear in isolation in nature and interact only with bacteria, something not well explained by virologists or virus skeptics. The bacteriophages attach to bacteria and insert their genetic DNA into bacteria cells and produce Endolysins, killer enzymes that break down the bacteria cell wall from within and make copy enzymes that are sent out to attach to other bacteria. This is getting way too complex for a non-technical book review. Unfortunately, Brogna does not first try to explain what bacteriophages are to the unknowledgeable, so this important book has a limited target audience but is readable.

To undertake his research, Brogna proposes a new research postulate to the standard Koch’s Postulates that a virus first needs to be isolated, purified and then tested on healthy persons before proving it is the cause of historical virus epidemics. Brogna’s proposed revised postulate is:

“A pathogen must be observed - in both pure culture and mixed environment, together with other microorganisms, in order to analyze its interactions with other species, as well as its individual characteristics”.

Brogna’s postulate sounds like the virus skeptics criticism that microbes need to be studied as they are found in the human body, not removed from the body, starved and then poisoned before being observed or genetically sequenced (see biologist Harold Hillman, The Case for New Paradigms in Cell Biology and Neurobiology, 1991). Brogna’s photos appear to be credible black and white images not “doctored up” cartoons in color that are all-too prevalent in medical science.

The author reports that his photos show:

1. SARS-CoV-2 is a bacteriophage that infects other bacteria within the human gut.

2. His team studied inoculated healthy patients with SARS-CoV-2 supplied from China and it replicated inside feces (captured in photographs). How Brogna obtained this “virus” when other researchers like Christine Massie requested such from over 200 labs and health agencies around the world and was told it had never been isolated or sequenced outside of a computer is beyond my field of competence (see: Christine Massey, biostatistician, Does the Virus Exist? Has SARS-CoV-2 Been Isolated?, 2022). Could it be one and same with the snail conotoxin-like “poison” described elsewhere in Brogna’s study?

3. From plasma and urine specimens from patients, 80 proteins were isolated that were absent in healthy patients.

4. Among the proteins isolated from the bacterial-viral interaction, were several forms of conotoxins (from conical snails) which block acetylcholine (a neurotransmitter).

5. But the virus infected bacteria and replicated within them in a hit or miss process that does not always produce the same results (sometimes unable to block acetylcholine and numb the bacterial cells)

6. Symptoms of CoV-2 are possibly caused by “some kind of poisoning”.

7. Once SARS-CoV-2 is introduced in the gut, bacteria start synthesizing proteins with toxin-like activity

a. Conotoxin-like (snail neurotoxins) substances are produced.

b. Phospholipase A2 (a cell-signaling enzyme) triggers massive blood clotting that is enhanced (worsened) if taken with anti-inflammatory drugs (such as ibuprophen).

c. Prothrombin Activator (a catalyst) is produced which results in blood coagulation and creates microemboli (small blood clots).

d. CoV-2 produces other proteins such as zinc metalloproteinase (similarity with anthrax lethal factor), serine proteinase (enzymes that control muscles), phosophodiesterase (lowers blood pressure), etc.

Brogna hypothesizes that SARS-CoV-2 is something more complex than a virus, could be a copied DNA in an artificial plasma or a hybrid of coronavirus and bacterium, and he wonders whether it could be a bacterial artificial chromosome (BAC).

The theory that Brogna’s study seems based on is that a virus is not an isolated agent because nothing operates in isolation in nature and can be triggered by poisons, penetrating parasites or environmental toxins. The way Brogna describes it is:

1. Bacteria is commensal (existing in harmony with the body surface or mucosa without harming human health).

2. We are immunized from such waste from an early age.

3. A problem arises when bacteria react to chemical pollution or biological attack (CoV-2) and produce metabolic waste – completely new proteins that are unknown to our immune system that the body cannot cope with (e.g., viruses). Might this metabolic waste be called exosomes?

4. Thus, any cure must consider the nature of a bacteriophage: that virus replicates in bacteria, not in isolation. Might this be called a terrain theory of SARS-VoV-2?

This review stretches the limits of this layperson’s competence and I leave it to others to correct or add to it.

I learned in college Zoology that Formaldehyde won't even kill tape worm eggs that have soaked in the stuff for years. It certainly isn't going to kill a machine like a virus. Why would it? The crucial thing about the Cowans, I have to add because you didn't put up that part, is that they are really COHENS. The Phoenicians have always done this to hide their trail. The have been at this for thousands of years. My own Crypto Phoenician ancestry consists of the Bennetts, Franklin's and the Tolivers. These names were derived from the original Benoit, Frank or Frankel and Taliaferro. All Jewish or Phoenician. This is how they hide in plain sight.
