Ardis points to this article from the University of Arizona: Like Venom Coursing Through the Body: Researchers Identify Mechanism Driving COVID-19 Mortality.

what may be the key molecular mechanism responsible for COVID-19 mortality – an enzyme related to neurotoxins found in rattlesnake venom.

This enzyme, phospholipase A2, Ardis claims is “specifically found in rattlesnake venom also.” But that is not what the article says. The article says it’s “related.”

Big difference.

The first question we should ask and Ardis should explore is ‘what is phospholipase A2?’

You’d very quickly find the Phospholipase A2 Superfamily includes over a dozen various groups and subgroups — several made in the human body.

And no, your body is not making “snake venom.” Pancreatic enzymes that break down fats have a similar chemical composition.

The article specifies the subgroup sPLA2-IIA enzyme

“*is found in low concentrations in healthy individuals and has long been known to play a critical role in defense against bacterial infections, destroying microbial cell membranes.”

“Snake Venom” is clearly a clickbait title to discuss the role of ...phospholipase A2 as a biomarker for the diagnosis of sepsis and bacterial infection.

In other words, if you get really sick from Covid or other infections, the inflammatory response of illness can go haywire, your immune system loses control of cytokine production and you can get septic. That is bad.

But sepsis is hard to diagnose early — doctors have to go more by symptoms; by the time you show signs of sepsis it can be too late to treat. Hence the high mortality.

However, since phospholipase A2 enzyme is also found to be extremely high in inflammatory syndromes, the article discusses the diagnostic potential of this ‘snake venom relative’ to help doctors quickly identify those patients at risk of sepsis and death.

By the way, another subgroup of this enzyme is also produced in synovial fluid in joints and is found in higher levels in arthritic knees.

That doesn’t mean your knee is producing “snake venom.”

Ardis leaped to this conclusion by making a giant error in comprehension — and failing to do the most basic research.

And he continues with very flawed thinking.

He proposes that ‘snake venom’ must be “in the water” based on the CDC testing of water supply for Covid by PCR.

Remember last year? CDC started this PCR charade to bulk up their casedemic numbers and justify the Orwellian “Track & Trace” plan. They reported ‘high volume of Covid in (fecal) wastewater’... indicating their intent to ‘lockdown affected communities.’

Water supply and wastewater treatment are different processes and facilities. The CDC is crap (pun intended) to continue Covid fraud by PCR testing wastewater, but that is no method to contaminate drinking water supply.

Ardis’ wild speculation based on thoughtless reaction to emotional clickbait is careless. But for anons to run with it is inexcusable.

MSM has unlimited people and funding to produce propaganda; our alternative media is proving we are just as capable of making and selling propaganda without the big budgets.
