Mike Stone Accidentally Quotes My Book
This quote is from a written interview with me in my book The Age of Deception, published April 2020. See here.
The Age of Deception: The True Nature of Viruses and Their Cause (New Edition), Jeff Green - Amazon.com
The New Edition reads,
Alana Fournet: Does a virus ever occur outside the body?
Jeff Green: No, a virus lacks the characteristics of being a living organism. It lacks respiration, a nucleus, and the ability to digest. Replication is impossible for a virus on its own since it lacks the inherent capacity for self-replication. It is akin to suggesting that a rock can spontaneously replicate itself into two rocks. Therefore, viruses cannot arise naturally in isolation. They depend on a living cell to facilitate their replication. Viruses originate from cells. This single point alone undermines the notion of viruses being contagious. If viruses require a host cell for replication, they cannot independently manifest outside the body. Therefore, for viruses to emerge initially in nature, they must have first originated from a cell. If they indeed derive from cells, it challenges the theory of viral pathogenicity.
Of course, Mike Stone significantly twists the meaning of what I was imparting. I am pointing to the genesis of viruses; their origin point. I was and am contending that they emerged as integral components of cellular frameworks, alongside cellular processes, in response to evolutionary imperatives. They do not occur statically out of context. Rather, they manifest within the natural milieu of cellular ecosystems, being intertwined with cellular dynamics.
