I had done one year of PhD research in virology and immunology, in addition to having had training in those areas during medical school and residency, so I had an excellent background for understanding viral mechanisms and pathophysiology. Almost immediately, I had questions and concerns about the approach toward the illness, as directed by the medical “authorities” and communicated to the public through the mainstream media. The approach they were taking did not seem to line up with my observations and understanding of this type of virus.
