Topic: Mueller S Ratchet

2 chapters across the catalog

Dr. Peter McCullough and Alex Jones discuss the biological nature of viruses as tiny predators that hijack mammalian cells to replicate. They apply "Mueller's ratchet" to the current pandemic, suggesting the virus is evolving toward higher contagiousness and lower lethality to reach equilibrium with the host. Jones compares the current state of the pandemic to a national outbreak of the common cold.

Viruses typically evolve to become more contagious but less lethal over time to ensure the survival of the host, a process known as Mueller's Ratchet. Omicron's rapid replication and lower severity suggest COVID-19 is transitioning into a version of the common cold. Unlike prions, viruses are organisms containing protein and nucleic acids that hijack mammalian cells to propagate.
