Hi Dawn,

I bought and read good chunks of “what really makes you ill” last summer and am pretty persuaded by it on the whole. So thanks to you both. It’s clear that virology and germ theory are at best build on shaky grounds but more likely no foundation at all.

I’m curious is you’ve ever responded to Harriet Hall who wrote this “review” of the book:

https://sciencebasedmedicine.org/no-everything-you-thought-you-knew-about-disease-is-not-wrong/

I found her article difficult to read, more of a character attack than a convincing debunking. It’s a condensed form of the kind of attitude people give me if I ever poke at the alter of contagious microbes. I’m wondering if you’re able to make any headway persuading such people. How do you gauge who’s worth your time and who’s not?

Thank you again Dawn so glad you call out the names! I didn't name them in mine but was thinking of Bossche and Malone https://georgiedonny.substack.com/p/a-healthy-future-does-not-lie-with

I also tried tackling the nonsense of immune escape https://georgiedonny.substack.com/p/to-be-well-studied-one-must-read and leaky experiments
