I saw the interview, and here is my take. First, the background. I listen to Stew's podcast occasionally, because he has some good guests. I don't agree with all of Stew's opinions, but he seems to also be passionate about some things I agree with. I thought the interview was weirdly overproduced, with dramatic music, and multiple camera angles, all poorly done, BTW. The snake venom idea is very interesting as far as the similarities with symptoms and remedies, etc. Where Ardis goes wrong, in my opinion, is the idea that this toxin is being distributed through our water supply. That idea is not well thought out at all. First of all, Ardis made the point (about the venom) that we are talking about very large molecules. Very large molecules are very easy to filter out with a common carbon water filter. And these molecules are also susceptible to chlorine, which is used to purify our water. But probably the biggest reason it wouldn't be practical to distribute through the water supply is the shear volume of water we move around, and the tiny fraction of it that is actually used for drinking and cooking compared to what is used to irrigate lawns and golf courses, fill swimming pools, etc.. They would be wasting massive amounts of this exotic and likely highly expensive poison. A few other things pointed out by various anons: With water supply poisoning it is usually children and pets who succumb first, like canaries in a coal mine, while covid doesn't seem to affect kids or pets. And Brian Cates says "There is NO WAY bad people have been putting venom in the public water supply on a wide scale basis. That’s one of those nonsense ideas where 100,000 people would all have to be “in on it” with no leaks to keep that conspiracy going." The bottom line in my opinion is that this is an interesting topic and worthy of a lot more research, but I don't think it really changes anything as far as how it affects us. The information is intriguing, but not personally useful for me or anybody I can think of.
