In my library sits a slim volume on medical history dedicated to ‘Saint’ Louis Pasteur, part of the ‘founders of modern medicine’ series of expositions on ‘great men’ and their ‘discoveries’.  Before the Korona plan-demic and scam-demic I accepted the book’s information at face value.  Since then, it has deserved another far more critical look.  The book’s observations and conclusions can be viewed online in ‘official’ websites who disseminate ‘truth and information’ including the Encyclopaedia Britannica amongst other gatekeepers. 

The narrative

This volume on Pasteur and his ‘greatness’ declaims the wonders of the man and his mind, and of course, the endless bounty of health and goodness he has bestowed on all of humanity, enabled by the Church of Science and its ‘Enlightenment’.  Of especial emphasis is of course Pasteur’s role in microbiology, germ theory and vaccinations and their extended use across husbandry and humans.  He is definitely part of the ‘appeal to authority’ from the ‘modern’ and very corrupt Pharmaceutical-Government-‘Science’ complex who advocate the same. 

If the ‘establishment’ listed the top 10 scientists of all time, Saint Louis the Germinator and Vaccinator would be near the top.  This ranking and eulogia is not entirely mistaken, for much of what Pasteur did accomplish is amazing and cannot be ‘revisioned’ as anything but exemplary.  This is true until he gets involved in the quackcination racket and forms his poorly explained ‘germ theory’, or his mythical virus transmission of disease, both of which are still looking for proof. 

At these critical junctures the science stops, and the malevolent behaviour begins.  During these episodes from 1860 to his death, Pasteur quickly devolves into a Jennerian figure who likely engaged in fraud and corruption to ‘prove’ that germs cause disease and that chemical injections stopped the spread of ‘infectious’ disease. 

A brief outline of Pasteur is given below, which highlights why we can’t simply reimagine him to be a-scientific, or without great merit - until his forays into germ theory and chemical injections. We also cannot dismiss many of his contemporary critics who were largely correct in their objections to both philosophies. Unlike the half-wit corrupted-fraud Jenner, Pasteur was indeed a remarkable scientist and innovator.

Early years

·       Born in 1822, the son of a tanner in the rural village or hamlet of Arbois France, his grandfather was a serf who bought his freedom at age 30

·       Pasteur was a practicing Catholic his whole life and this definitely impacted his worldview of science and medicine

·       October 1843 Pasteur enters the Ecole Normale, in 1847 to finalise his degree he begins to address problems in the domain of organic chemistry

·       Pasteur could blow glass and construct his own instruments which he begins to do whilst studying citing a paucity of equipment and lack of funding

·       Professor of Chemistry in 1848 in Strasbourg

·       Becomes Dean of Science and Professor of Chemistry in 1854 in Lille aged 32

·       Classes at Lille became famous, Pasteur taught students to grow crops, ferment vinegar and alcohol, weave cloth, forge metals and how to apply chemistry to manufacturing processes

·       Proves during 1856-7, that living yeast cells cause fermentation by consuming sugar and changing it into (the now dreaded) carbon dioxide and alcohol, and further discovers that 2 yeast cells operate in fermentation – round cells which produce alcohol, and rod cells which produce bitter lactic acid and must be removed to keep the solution edible or drinkable

Moves to Paris

·       1857 becomes Director of Scientific Studies at the Ecole Normale in Paris

·       Spontaneous generation of life, accepted since the time of Aristotle is refuted by Pasteur, who using his yeast cell experiments and detailed microscopy and observations, to show that cells can only arise from similar living matter (1857-1860)

·       Pasteur’s experiments support those of Spallazani and others, by using a S-shaped flask to keep out large particles but allowing air into a boiled solution at the bottom, he experimentally proves that spontaneous generation does not exist (no bacteria were formed in the liquid spontaneously)

·       Pasteur theorises that the air is full of ‘germs’ or floating microscopic plants and animals (1860)

·       His experiments using heated broth in a container left open to the air showed quick spoilation and mould formation

·       In an open air display at the Sorbonne, Pasteur demonstrates that the S-flask containing boiled organic matter does not allow spontaneous generation of bacteria, whilst an open container holding the same does

·       Comes out against Evolution as anti-science and impossible given the complexity of creation (this is ignored by the sycophants who in the main happily declare that the shrew became you, and nothing made everything, so they tolerate the Catholic Pasteur because he supports, nay created the cults of vaccination and viruses, no such tolerance is given if the hoi-polloi criticise Saint Darwin’s religion or the fiction of viruses and stabbinations)  More here
