Germ theory denialists would have you believe that measles is not a virus and it isn't contagious.

"Hey everyone.

Lots going on. Lots. Going on in my world. And. A lot of drama that I'm not that keen on. And I'm going to keep it low key for now. I have to do a bunch of videos about some of the stuff that's been happening as far as, um, I'm in Canada and for our rogue government and trying to stop truth and trying to stop natural products and to just basically make an army of the pharmaceutical cartel to take over and dictate to everybody and remove health freedom.

That's really what's going on. What's happening here is it's not the real discussion is about what the rogue governments are doing to us and how to stop it. That's where the discussion really needs to be. However everyone is still watching television and brainwashing themselves and subjecting themselves to all kinds of propaganda and they are just making messes of their minds and are unable to think clearly about some of these topics and to understand that this society, this culture, is degrading to a point potentially of no return..."

Amandha Dawn Vollmer on Measles is Not a Virus | The Myth of Contagion

That was just the first few minutes of one of her videos...

In the next few minutes, you hear about how civilization is crumbling and that "it is the end of civilization as we know it."

Germ Theory Denialism

She eventually gets to "all of this vaccine stuff," including the myth of contagion and the myth of viruses...

"I am a single mompreneur (YummyMummyEmpor) & healer, trained in Naturopathic Medicine, Angelic Reiki & Usui Reiki (Master), Veterinary Homeopathy & more!"

Amandha Dawn Vollmer

How does she introduce folks to the idea that measles is not a virus?

"...AIDS is also, HIV AIDS is not a virus. Okay. These myths and the myths of catching something, they have come from old school thinking that were convenient tools for control of populations by corrupt governments, which I haven't known one that hasn't been corrupt."

Amandha Dawn Vollmer on Measles is Not a Virus | The Myth of Contagion

Interestingly, she brings up the myth that the measles vaccines are being pushed because the vaccines were are about to expire!

"And incidentally, by the way, there's evidence that surfaced that the MMR vaccine currently, the current batch, is about ready to expire. And why it is going to expire is that a lot of people are coming to their senses and we don't want this anymore."

Amandha Dawn Vollmer on Measles is Not a Virus | The Myth of Contagion

Why don't many anti-vaccine influencers believe in germ theory?

It helps them justify not getting vaccinated and protected against life-threatening infections! After all, if you don't think measles is a virus that can make you sick, then why would you need an MMR vaccine, right?

What Do You Believe?

If you are also part of the anti-vaccine movement, do you believe any of this stuff?

Are you an HIV denialist?

"So this is wanting to spit out something unwanted- food, situation, person or wanting to spit out words and say something on their mind, etc.

The moment an organism experiences this conflict, the tonsil tissue proliferates (increases) during conflict to better “insalivate” the morsel to help you swallow it down or spit it out.

When the conflict is resolved the extra tissue is decomposed using bacteria which is when a person feels ill and if they go to the doctor will be diagnosed with “tonsillitis”. "

Melissa Sell on The Tonsils

Do you not believe in germ theory?

Are rogue governments trying to control us?

Germ theory denialists often have stores to sell you supplements.

Are you going to buy something from her store?

Germ Theory Denialists

Surprisingly, she isn't the only germ theory denialist out there!

"Some alternative medicine advocates deny the validity of germ theory in medicine, believing that despite many, many validations of the relevant work of Ignaz Semmelweis, Joseph Lister, Robert Koch, Louis Pasteur, Kiyoshi Shiga et al, bacteria and viruses are not the causative agents of infectious disease."

Germ theory denialism

Other ~~popular~~ dangerous germ theory denialists include:

Antoine Béchamp - the father of germ theory denialism - while Louis Pasteur and others were formulating germ theory, Béchamp was pushing his microzymian theory
Dr. Thomas S. Cowan - doesn't believe that viruses, including COVID-19, are the cause of disease, instead blaming electromagnetic pollution, from power lines to WiFi and 5G.
Rudolf Steiner - the father of the Waldorf schools pushed the idea of anthroposophic medicine, similar to homeopathy, but with added massage, exercise, and counseling to cure diseases caused by karma and demons...
Ben Tapper - like many chiropractors, Ben Tapper doesn't seem to think that viruses cause disease
Dr. Andrew Kaufman - a psychiatrist who is popular on YouTube and who "repeatedly tells his viewers that viruses are not a cause of human diseases."
Dr. Kelly Brogan - a holistic psychiatrist who thinks AIDS is a Big Pharma scam
Gary Null - denies that HIV causes AIDS.
Christine Maggiore - an HIV denialist who didn't take antiretrovirals when she was pregnant to decrease the risk that her daughter would become infected, and then never got her daughter tested - her daughter, Eliza Jane Scovill, who died with complications of HIV at age three.
Peter Duesberg - the HIV denialist who influenced Christine Maggiore
Aajonus Vonderplanitz - a raw food nutritionist, he claimed that viruses aren't real
Robert O Young - says he can cure people with cancer with his 'pH Miracle Living' program because cancer is caused by excess acid - it isn't, as Kim Tinkham found out when she progressed to having incurable breast cancer on his treatment... He also wrote a book about terrain theory...
Gaston Naessens - claimed that somatids, tiny creatures that only he could see, caused cancer
Sayer Ji - says that we should embrace germs not so much as other but self
Melissa Sell - a health mindset coach who doesn't believe in germ theory of disease. Are your tonsils swollen?
Dr. Zach Bush - claims that mitochondrial malfunction causes all chronic diseases and that "autisic [sic] children are angels among us. These souls have chosen this journey to show us something critical — that we have so toxified our environment to now find ourselves on the brink of elimination of our own species."
Ryke Geerd Hamer - developed German New Medicine, in which viruses and bacteria do not cause disease, but rather can be used to help heal us.
Stefan Lanka - a German virologist who believes that illness is psychosomatic, he lost a bet that someone couldn't prove that measles is a virus...
Ethel Douglas Hume - wrote a book, Béchamp or Pasteur? a Lost Chapter in the History of Biology, claiming that Béchamp was right.
David Rasnick - joined Peter Duesberg in pushing the idea that AIDS is not caused by HIV (was supposed to inject himself with HIV to prove it didn't cause disease...). He now writes books about cancer (aneuploidy theory) and thinks COVID vaccines are causing turbo cancer.
Robert Willner - an HIV denialist, he believed that you can prevent all disease with "diet, lifestyle changes, sanitation." He actually did inject himself with HIV and died of a heart attack the next year, despite knowing how to prevent all disease...
Celia Farber - a journalist who has been criticized for promoting HIV denialists and defended Christine Maggiore.

How far do some of these folks go?

"I am convinced you can prevent all disease with diet, lifestyle changes, sanitation."

Robert Willner

Robert Willner injected himself with HIV positive blood to prove to folks he was right. Well, he kind of injected himself...

Robert Willner is a germ theory denialist.

What's the risk of getting HIV from a needlestick or exposure to direct skin contact with blood? It is very, very low. Less than 1% for the needle stick and even lower for direct contact.

He draw a trickle of blood from an HIV-positive man, then pricked his finger with the needle and pressed their fingers together.

Not surprisingly, Willner didn't develop AIDS. He instead died of a heart attack the next year.
