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.

Comment by Mr W

Gonzalo, if you want to dig a little more into the leadership of the USA in this crisis, then consider that Antony Blinken, Secretary of State running this show, went to the Dalton school in New York (where Bill Barr's father hired Jeffrey Epstein despite having no teaching credentials).

After Antony Blinken's mother divorced his father, she moved to Paris from New York with Antony and married Samuel Pisar, the lawyer and confidant of Robert Maxwell, Ghislaine Maxwell's father. On Amazon, you can find the book Robert Maxwell, Israel's Superspy: The Life and Murder of a Media Mogul. Before his death, true to form, Robert Maxwell looted his companies employee pension funds, forcing the UK government to bail them out. Maxwell's funeral was attended by six serving and former Israeli intelligence heads, and the eulogy was performed by Israeli Prime Minister Yitzhak Shamir.

To make matters even worse, Antony Blinken, direct family of underage sex traffickers and blackmailers, chose Wendy Sherman to be his Deputy Secretary of State, who is also negotiating with the Russians. Disturbingly, Wendy Sherman rose to power as the Director of Maryland's Office of Child Welfare, and later as CEO of Fanny Mae Foundation (weird career transition).

There is no US government. It's an interrelated tribal cabal of exploitation and fraud. Look it up.
