Microbiologist Howard Urnovitz: Each Person’s Unique Ancestral Genes Interact with Viruses to Cause Chronic Disease
He calls it “The Golden Age of Virology,” a time for science to acknowledge that Koch’s Postulates1 published in 1884 and used to identify and associate bacteria, fungi and parasites with disease, cannot be used to associate diseases with viruses, which were not discovered until later.2 “Viruses do not act alone to cause disease,” says […]

But the agency’s increasing reliance on pharmaceutical industry money has seen the FDA’s evidentiary standards for drug approvals significantly decline. The Need for Speed Since the enactment of […]
Why are Standards So Lax on COVID Drug Approvals?
Many scientists made a career fighting for better regulatory standards. Strangely, when it comes to the regulatory policy around COVID-19, they are dead quiet.
