 Summer of '51

by Bill Irvine
To Whom It May Concern:

Cadboro Bay Beach in Victoria BC brings fond memories to this aging octogenarian's mind. Starting in 1950 it was where I lived with my parents and five siblings at 2546 Killarney Road. Our home was very large and very old. It had five bedrooms and a full basement. There were wood-burning-fireplaces in every room except the kitchen and more bathrooms than one can remember including one in the basement. It had an upright grand piano in the 24ft. living room and Bill Gaetz — a family friend of some 17 years-of-age — got considerable use out of it during the few years we lived there.

Many are familiar with Herman Raucher's Summer of '42. Critics stated its faults may lie in its obsession with nostalgia. This, perhaps, makes my comparison even more apropos. Not to the coming-of-age tones of the former but to the coming-of-age of this 14 year old boy. This is my reasoning for my reference to my Summer of '51.

Even though I was still attending high school it seems my every free hour that summer was spent at The Beach. My memories are filled with the countless hours of sunbathing, swimming, building rafts from beach logs and enjoying time with friends and neighbours. Friends like Edgar Pugh and neighbours like John Caldwell.

Edgar lived up along Finnerty Road and John lived the other side of Cadboro Bay Rd. John's older brother, Douglas, owned a fishing boat and we could hear its Esop, one-cylinder engine from a mile away as it plied the waters of  Haro Strait. Doug used to 'beach it' on the Cadboro Bay beach sand with the use of a home-made drydock. The 'drydock' consisted of four timbers constructed to form one X forward and one X aft to support the vessel. Once the tide went out, the hull was high-and-dry to effect maintenance or repairs. Smart lads these Caldwell boys!

During the off season, as in fall, winter and spring, we all hung out at King's Coffee Shop on Sinclair Rd. in Cadboro Bay Village. Here we could also interact with off-duty Canadian Army personnel (Pongoes) who were stationed at the army camp west from Finnerty Rd. way up on the high ground (now the University of Victoria). The army lads were pretty friendly to us civilians and none ever came in the coffer shop in uniform. It was strictly R&R for the lads (there were no women on the base). Canada was at war in Korea in '51 in the war that had begun June 25, 1950.

So upon my return to Cadboro Bay Beach c.1955, I considered myself a seasoned veteran operating on home turf. As I recall, the Beach Pavilion was open and operating. They held dances and rented the place out to make ends meet. My memory doesn't serve me well regarding the pavilion because not living in the area any more, this was my first time returning.

It's a fact the pavilion was owned and operated by James Barkley and his wife, Judy (nee Meighen). I only met James there once as he came out of the pavilion to confront us and he seemed like a tough customer to me. Presumably, a good attribute to have considering some of the clientele he dealt with. My family on the Hurst side have no relationship to James but Judy is in the branches of our Hurst family tree (on my mother's side).

Judy-Glee Style Shop on Esquimalt Rd., was the name chosen by my Aunt Glee (Margaret "Glee" Hurst) and her new partner, Judy Barkley. who was Glee's cousin. Judy was the daughter of  Canadian Prime-Minister, Arthur Meighen's cousin. Aunt Glee (Margaret "Glee" Hurst) was my mother's sister.

Most have heard of the Wedding Crashers but what about the Graduation Crashers? It was just as much a surprise to me to learn the vocation actually exists. Some friends-of-friends had gathered around an individual driving a red, 1953 convertible and were going graduation crashing and asked if I'd like to join them. Who could say no?

This is how I wound up in the back seat of a red convertible at Cadboro Bay beach sometime around 6p.m. on an evening late in June 1955. My octogenarian memory is not that good, and recalling exactly what happened there after some seven decades could be questionable. For certain I did not enter the pavilion. There was a graduation event underway but some made it clear we were not welcome to attend nor observe.

It seems someone knew another individual named Earl Large was attending some events. It was not known if Earl was a graduate or maybe was just attending with his prom date and several friends. Earl came from a well-to-do family and had considerable income of his own so travelled in style. His choice for the evening festivities included a rented, big, black limo and a downtown hotel room. As near as I recall, I got as far as outside the hotel room and that was it for me.

In an intriguing web of connections, Edgar Pugh's name landed on my radar recently. Delving into Cadboro Bay's history, I stumbled upon Bill Sylvester, the pioneer behind BC Airlines in the 1950s. Sylvester, tied by marriage to Joan Golby, had a step-daughter named Pam Golby. Remarkably, Pam Golby happened to be Edgar Pugh's girlfriend. During one evening visit to the Golby residence at Ten Mile Point, I found myself in the company of Edgar, Pam, and the soon-to-be-world-renowned figure, Bill Sylvester himself.

From the inception of BC Airlines to the familial ties that brought Edgar Pugh into acquaintance with the renowned Sylvester, each connection creates a captivating tapestry of relationships within the backdrop of Cadboro Bay's history. These chance encounters and relationships paint a vivid picture of how interconnected our lives can be, often in the most unexpected ways.

Regards, Billy

Hurst Family in Victoria BC

by Bill Irvine

Robert William Hurst 1875-1950

Robert William Hurst was born to Andrew Ephriam & Elizabeth (nee McCready) Hurst, on August 22, 1875, in Enniskillen, County Fermanagh, Ireland. When the Hursts emigrated to Bobcaygeon, Ontario, in 1885, along with mother and father came, Anna Elizabeth [July 12, 1873]; John "Jack" [1874?]; Robert William [August 22, 1875]; Mary Jane [June 8, 1879]; Ephriam Andrew [1883]. Death had already claimed one son, James, at an early age after being born March 26, 1878. There were two other children that were still-born. After their arrival in Canada, four more children were born to them:--> Margaret Theodore "Peggy"[12/13/1885]; Harriette "Hatty" [about 1886]; Jemima "Mima" [?]; Myrtle Elizabeth May [?].

Robert Hurst met and married one Florence Corrine Platt, September 27, 1899, in Bobcageon. It was not many years after that Bob became manager of the Peterborough Canoe Company -->, in Bobcaygeon. It was here they started their family of five children: Heleana [1902]; Rexford [1904]; Margaret (Glee) Corrine [1906]. After moving out West in 1907, they had their last two children, Reginald [1910] and Gwendolyn Florence [1911].

The Hursts first moved to Duncan, BC, and brothers, Ephriam and Robert , worked at the Chemainus Sawmill. After a year or so, they moved to Victoria and Bob started working for Lemon-Gonnason Lumber Company [corner of Bay & Government Streets] as a millworker in 1908. He later became a member of the management team as an estimator. During this period Bob & Flo lived on Blanshard Street near Hillside Avenue.

By 1911, the Robert Hurst family was complete, with four children living. It was now time for "Granma & Grandpa" to be moved out from Bobcaygeon. In this same year, Bob & Ephriam built their parents a new house at 2653 Graham Street, and now mother and father were settled in Victoria. Eldest daughter Anna and sister, Peggy and her children, lived with the elder Hursts in their new home.

Bob started his own business, with brother Ephriam as partner, in 1925. Named the Canadian Western Woodworkers, it was located at the end of Garbally Road (on the north side of the street). Bob & Flo bought the house at 1018 Bay Street after renting on Blackwood Street for a while.

Robert and Florence had five children:

Heleana, 1902-74
Rexford, 1904-09
Margaret Corrine, 1906
Reginald, 1910-57
Gwendolyn Florence, 1911-75

Three of these lived with them at the new house on Bay Street: Reginald, Margaret (who Rexford had nick-named "Glee") and Gwen. Reginald was a mentally challenged individual but lived a happy and productive life working in the glazing shop of his father's mill. Glee, by now a school teacher, left in 1925 to take up a position at Beaver Lake, British Columbia. This being located forty miles east of William's Lake; near Likely, BC, and the placer mines on the Quenel River. Gwen was at home attending school; she was age fourteen years at this time.

Glee

Personal Data Sheet for Margaret Corrine Hurst Born: 03/09/1906 in Bobcaygeon, ON

Margaret has been known as "Glee" throughout her entire lifetime. This was a nickname given to her by baby brother, Rexford. Glee believes that after Rexford's death, at age 5, her parents continued the name as a reminder and tribute to their beloved son.

Glee went to an elementary school [on the corner of John St.] near Point Ellice House when her family lived on Tanner St. She later attended North Ward School on Douglas Street. The family moved to a house on Gorge Rd. (across from Mac's Coffee Shop and when the war [WW1} ended in 1918, they moved to David Street. Sometime in this era, they also lived on Blackwood St. Glee later went to the Normal School [Camosun College Young Bldg. 1993]; she started in September 1925 and graduated as a school teacher in april, 1926, and left the family home at 1018 Bay St. to teach in Beaver Lake, BC (forty miles east of William's Lake, BC, near Likely. She took all the necessary belongings in the same steamer-trunk that her grand-parents used to move from Ireland to Bobcaygeon in {about 1880}.

Glee gave up teaching in 1936 and went to work for the HBC in Victoria. She married Sandy Craigmyle in {1937} and their son, Grant, was born June 9, 1939. They purchased their own home at the corner of Gorge & Garbally {get address} in 1940 but, unfortunately, Sandy was killed the next year when a load of lumber crushed him to death in the Cameron Sawmill (at the foot of Garbally). In {1945} Glee married one Magnus Lehiem, a dashing and debonair serviceman in the Canadian Army. "Oly", as he was called, had been a champion skier in his native Norway before emigrating to Canada. about this time [1950] Glee started her own ladies' apparel shop [Judy-Glee Style Shop] (1) next to the hardware store in Esquimalt. Glee and Oly enjoyed a good life-style but later on, Oly's heavy drinking took its toll on their marriage. They were divorced in {?} and Oly continued to drink. During WW2, Oly worked at his father-in-law's mill and suffered the loss of three fingers on his {left} hand when a table-saw blade flew off and hit his hand. Fortunately, his injuries were not more severe.

Glee later, about {1960} lived with, but didn't marry, "Fergy" Fergeson. Fergy was an engineer with the Canadian Hydrographic Surveyors and served on the William J. Stewart vessel. Fergy's son, Ron, was a longtime policeman and detective with the Victoria Police Force. His youngest son, Buddy, serve in the RCN for a while. Fergy died in {1970} and Glee later married {first name}Leigh. He was a member of the RC Legion and got them nice living accommodations at the Legion homes on East Saanich Road. They were also able to get sister Gwen into the complex which made her circumstances much better. After Glee and {?} split up, the two sisters spent much time together although the sibling rivalry in this family was obnoxious. Between Heleana, Glee and Gwen, there was never more fighting in any family!

Notes from Annabel (nee Carveth) Constantine
Sat 4-30-1994
Notes from audio tape made June 1993 at Annabel's home in Seattle, WA 2348 42nd AVE, East 98112

Annabel Carveth became Mrs. Albert Constantine in 1931. After having two self-induced miscarriages ("good old quinine!), her son James Douglas was born in 1944. "Old Al didn't want me to have any kids," said Ann, " . . . he was sure I'd die if I had a baby." "so then, when I got pregnant again, I didn't tell him. He didn't find out until I was four months along." when Al noticed my stomach was getting big so he suggested I go to the doctor to if I had "colitis". "This isn't colitis, Al, I'm five months pregnant." "You're going to be a father, Al." Annabel and Albert called the fetus "Colitis" until he was born; then he was named James Douglas, after Sir James Douglas, Chief Factor and Governor of the Crown Colony of Vancouver's Island.

"We were married thirteen years September the fifth; Jamie was born two days later on September 7, 1944. We always said he was our thirteenth wedding anniversary present."

"I got pregnant," Ann continued, "when we were at the Empress Hotel (in Victoria) Christmas of 1943." Apparently Annabel had the flu during this time. Julia threw a party while we were there and we all attended the ball (snow Ball) at the Hotel. We all attended at Christmas dinner. The reception for Grant's wedding was held at a big, old hotel in Esquimalt -- the Old England Inn. It was a grand affair. The bride descended the wide staircase and there was a little window, way up high, where she threw the bouquet from. This was about 1961. Eventually, a baby boy was born to the Craigmyles. The baby was a dead-ringer for Grant. But, Glee, Grant's mother, did everything she could to turn Grant against his wife, and child. Every time Grant got to drinking, he would take it out on his wife and the baby. The baby was a nervous wreck because of this. They had to take the little one to the hospital emergency ward a couple of times. This was because of the way Grant was acting. The baby was scared to death.

Glee tried to make Grant think it wasn't his child. Glee was at Annabel's home in Seattle when she called home to Grant in Victoria. At that time, the wife and baby were both in the hospital. Grant said it was because, "she has acid." The mother's name was Pam; she was a beautiful little girl. She may have been adopted or raised by an aunt. Her mother attended the reception with another couple of relatives. They were just lovely people.

Pam just couldn't take the trauma in their marriage: Grant was even jealous of Pam's cooking. Grant would come home and cook after work. If "she" cooked dinner, he was sore as heck. He most likely ate the meal but would start a fight over it. Otherwise, Grant was always quiet when he was sober.

Annabel was born March 21, 1908, in Bobcaygeon, Ontario; this makes her an Aries. According to an old Greek almanac, one that friends of mother [Peggy] had in Vancouver, states those born on March 21 are not true Aries. This search was brought about because the hostess in Vancouver thought Anna was so much like her mother. apparently these persons have a separate horoscope from the other Aries. During this trip to Vancouver, Anna had her son, Jamie, with her. They looked up his horoscope for September 7. They were surprised to find he too has a separate horoscope. He may be Virgo. Jamie's second wife, Bobby (nee Dowty), was born August 15, as is a Leo. Donna, Jamie's first wife, and mother of Michael and Devon, was born in October.

Aunt Mary died from leukaemia in Victoria. The doctors were treating her for penitious enema for a long while. A lot of these doctors had not even heard of leukaemia in those days. Mary had married Reginald Meighen (2), the prime-ministers first cousin.

Luciel Dukowski's daughter owned an apartment block up on Queen Ann Hill, in Seattle. These people were good friends of Peggy Bailey (formerly Carveth).

Grace Carveth was born October xx, 1906. The same year as Glee Hurst.

Aunt Mary was the last child born in Ireland and Peggy was the firstborn in Canada, at Bobcaygeon. Anna, Jack (John), Robert & Mary were born in Enniskillen. Grandma, Elizabeth (nee xx) McCready, had two children that died. Young Jamie and another that was stillborn. Jamie died at three or four months old of malnutrition. Sister Anna said that her mother was sick during this time.

Another story was when, "the bull killed Aunt Mary." Grandma had just had that baby and the bull hadn't killed Aunt Mary. It did, however, pin her hard against the wall of the barn. It turned out she was alright. Grandma collapsed over this episode and had to be put to bed due to her shattered nerves. Elizabeth [Gramma] had just given birth to Jamie a few days earlier and couldn't get out of bed after the shock of the "bull" incident. The oldest daughter, Anna, just a teenager, now had to take care of the baby and her mother. Anna remembered how the baby reacted during this period. She recognized, later, that a baby can die in just a few days without proper nutrition. It always worried her about how wee Jamie died while in her care. With mother laid up continuously, anna had to feed the baby; it seemed he was always hungry. Jamie cried all the time and no one knew why.

Margaret Theodora (Peggy) Hurst, married Joseph Carveth in Bobcaygeon, Ontario. Joseph was a medical student at the time. After they married and Peg was pregnant with Grace, Joe decided to give up his studies because it would cost too much. Later, he took up being a veterinarian. he got along just swell as a vet. There was lots of work for a vet but not much money. He mostly got paid in produce from the farmer's gardens. Annabel even remembered years later when she nursed in Seattle, the doctors commenting how they got paid with buckets of paint or something else they could use. This was done because no one had any cash.

Annabel's son Jamie spends a lot of his time in court with the cases he's on. He was very handsome in his younger days, but now is over-weight. He lives out by Everett, WA. This is quite a ways north of Seattle. Jamie commutes to his office in Belleview, across the lake on the east side. There he is a detective with the Belleview Police Department. He loves his work and enjoys the commute each night and morning. Jamie bought a new truck. Part of the reason for this was his wife, Bobbie, has a bad knee. Getting in and out of the Mazda was uncomfortable for her.

Annabel remembered living at her parent's home on Graham Street in Victoria. The house had large walk-in closets and some even had windows. Chests of drawers were built right into the bedrooms. The bedrooms were all big.

Jamie's first wife, Donna, couldn't cook worth a bean when she got married. She didn't now "China" was a type of dishes. But she sure learned!

Uncle Eph never lived next to brother, Bob, on Bay Street. Mr. Sidwell lived next door to the west. Sidwell worked at the Canadian Western Woodworkers Sash & Door Company which was owned by Ephriam & Bob Hurst. Ephriam & Lillian lived over on Empress Avenue, not far from Bob's house (just off of Blackwood St.).

When Bob & Flo bought the house at the corner of Bay & Graham Streets, Annabel suggested they should have bought Grampa's house (near Hillside on Graham). Andrew Ephriam Hurst had died in the bedroom at his daughter Peggy's home in Seattle. The body was then removed to Victoria, where he was buried. An auction sale was organized by Annabel at the old home in Victoria. Grandma, Elizabeth, was removed to aunt Mary's home to live. When Flo & Bob bought 1018 Bay Street, Reginald, Glee and Gwen were still living at home. The family was renting a house on Blackwood Street (off Hillside, near the Sikh Temple).

Mon 5-02-1994

Archie Atkens was mayor or chief of police in Victoria and was a friend of Peggy's. It was an elected office and Aunt Mary helped him with his campaign. Mary was in charge of the corset department at the Hudson's Bay store on Douglas Street. Aunt Mary married Reg Meighen and later died of leukemia. She had the Mae Meighen Corset Shop on Fort Street. The business was started on Yates Street but when the hotel was renovated, she moved the business to the corner of Fort & Quadra Streets. One night, after a hard night of campaigning, Archie was dropping Mary off at her store when she invited him in for a little night-cap. It turned out Archie's wife was hiding in the back seat of the car and heard all the conversation between them and there was hell to pay over that! Mrs. Atkin threatened Mary with a law suit if she didn't leave her husband alone. After this episode, it was all out in the open what Mary & Archie's relationship was all about.

 Breitbart's John Nolte: In This Fight, Justin Trudeau Is George Wallace

   When you boil down why Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. won the battle for civil rights, it’s because he was right, and by right, I mean morally right. The essence of King’s argument was, All we want is to be treated like everyone else and to be judged by our character, not our skin color.
   Not to take anything away from King’s genius and courage, but had he not been morally right, his cause would have failed. But he succeeded because even the most ignorant bigot understands that judging someone by something as meaningless as skin color is not only blatantly immoral; it defies reason. There’s no way around that truth
   What King did was show the world just how far Democrats in the segregated South were willing to go to defend immoral laws that violated basic human rights. He deliberately pushed the issue to where midnight terror campaigns could no longer enforce this injustice.
   You’re going to throw me in prison for sitting in the front of a bus?
You’re not going to arrest the guy who assaulted my sister for sitting at a lunch counter?
   You’re going to unleash firehoses, dogs, and billy clubs on women and children?
The psychology behind this was brilliant: How far are you willing to go to enforce an unjust law? Oh, and Mr. and Mrs. America, I’m going to make you watch and dare you to continue to remain immorally silent.   

Gandhi understood this when he famously said, “First they ignore you, then they laugh at you, then they fight you, then you win.” — Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has not.

How far is Adolph Trudeau willing to go to enforce unjust laws that discriminate and violate human rights? That’s the question this glorious Freedom Convoy is forcing him to answer.

By any measure, Trudeau’s vaccine mandates are indefensible. Trudeau’s dehumanizing rhetoric against the unvaccinated (or those who support the vaccine and oppose mandates) is monstrous. Trudeau’s willingness to practice open segregation against people over personal medical choices is tyrannical.

What Democrat Gov. George Wallace was to the civil rights movement, Justin Trudeau is to the Freedom Convoy.
   Trudeau is the villain fighting an unjust cause.
Trudeau is the fascist willing to destroy innocent people’s livelihoods to enforce immoral laws.
   Trudeau is the gangster ready to commit violence rather than admit he is wrong.

If you want to know why Trudeau has been forced into hiding and why he serially melts down into a puddle of fecklessness in public, it’s because he is wrong. It’s that simple. He has no moral ground to stand on, which is why he’s attempted to manufacture it with lies about “racists” and “swastikas.” But in this ongoing civil rights standoff, everyone knows the bottom-line question is this:
   How far is Trudeau willing to go to enforce a mandate for a vaccine that doesn’t even stop the spread of the coronavirus?
   How much violence is he willing to commit?
How many livelihoods is he willing to annihilate for a vaccine that doesn’t even stop you from catching the virus?

Not that the success of the vaccine matters. Even if the vaccine did eradicate the virus, his stance would be just as immoral, but now that we know the vaccine does not stop the transmission, his stand looks especially foolish.

Like George Wallace and his fellow Democrat Bull Connor and all the Democrats who created and enforced Jim Crow, Trudeau is a bully checkmated by his own immoral choices.

Trudeau is wrong.
The truckers are right.
Your move, Adolph.

Heaven and Earth: Global
Warming, the Missing Science by Prof.Dr. Ian Plimer (Amazon Kindle)
Climate, sea level, and ice sheets have always changed, and the changes observed today are less than those of the past. Climate changes are cyclical and are driven by the Earth’s position in the galaxy, the sun, wobbles in the Earth’s orbit, ocean currents, and plate tectonics. In previous times, atmospheric carbon dioxide was far higher than at present but did not drive climate change.

Cool It: The Skeptical Environmentalist's Guide to Global Warming by Bjorn Lomborg (Amazon Kindle)
Bjorn Lomborg argues that many of the elaborate and staggeringly expensive actions now being considered to meet the challenges of global warming ultimately will have little impact on the world’s temperature. He suggests that rather than focusing on ineffective solutions that will cost us trillions of dollars over the coming decades, we should be looking for smarter, more cost-effective approaches that will allow us to deal not only with climate change but also with other pressing global concerns, such as malaria and HIV/AIDS. And he considers why and how this debate has fostered an atmosphere in which dissenters are immediately demonized.

Enough, argues bestselling author Bjorn Lomborg. Climate change is real, but it's not the apocalyptic threat that we've been told it is.

For decades, environmentalists have told us that using fossil fuels is a self-destructive addiction that will destroy our planet. Yet at the same time, by every measure of human well-being, from life expectancy to clean water to climate safety, life has been getting better and better.

THE CARBON HOAX: A STORY: Ruling the World With a Big Lie (Kindle Edition) by Howell Woltz
“Did you know the Greatest Two-Year Global Cooling Event Just Took Place?,” read the headlines in Real Clear Markets back in mid-2018, but a tree may as well have fallen in an uninhabited forest.
Complete silence from the mainstream media over what should have been the greatest announcement in modern history—since being told by Left-Wing politicians “we have only 12 years to live”—and three of them are up already. The news that we are not burning to a crisp, and in fact, temperatures are reversing at rates not seen in a century, should have been 24/7 breaking news. NASA’s Goddard Institute for Space Studies also released its report showing temperature declines as great as an unprecedented .56 degrees C in just one period, yet the press remains silent to this day. When Al Gore, spends $8.875 Million on his beachfront mansion, and Barack Obama, spends $11.75 million on his ‘vacation house’ on Martha’s Vineyard, even they are admitting the Hoax is at an end.

Dancing Naked in the Mind Field  – Jan. 4 2000 by Kary Mullis (Author) Kindle Edition 

Here is a multidimensional playland of ideas from the world's most eccentric Nobel-Prize winning scientist. Kary Mullis is legendary for his invention of Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR), which redefined the world of DNA, genetics, and forensic science.
He is also a surfer, a veteran of Berkeley in the sixties, and perhaps the only Nobel Laureate to describe a possible encounter with aliens. A scientist of boundless curiosity, he refuses to accept any proposition based on secondhand or hearsay evidence, and always looks for the "money trail" when scientists make announcements.  

Virus Mania — Corona/COVID-19, Measles, Swine Flu, Cervical Cancer, Avian Flu, SARS, BSE, Hepatitis C, AIDS, Polio, Spanish Flu — April 22 2021 by Torsten Engelbrecht (Author), Claus Köhnlein (Author), Samantha Bailey (Author) "The book 'Virus Mania' has been written with the care of a master-craftsman, courageously evaluating the medical establishment, the corporate elites and the powerful government funding institutions." Wolfgang Weuffen, MD, Professor of Microbiology and Infectious Epidemiology "The book 'Virus-Wahn' can be called the first work in which the errors, frauds and general misinformation being spread by official bodies about doubtful or non-virus infections are completely exposed." Gordon T. Stewart, MD, professor of public health and former WHO advisor - - - The population is terrified by reports of so-called COVID-19, measles, swine flu, SARS, BSE, AIDS or polio. However, the authors of "Virus Mania," investigative journalist Torsten Engelbrecht, Dr. Claus Köhnlein, MD, Dr. Samantha Bailey, MD, and Dr. Stefano Scoglio, BSc PhD, show that this fearmongering is unfounded and that virus mayhem ignores basic scientific facts: The existence, the pathogenicity and the deadly effects of these agents have never been proven.
