Choice quotes:
During a research career lasting more than 50 years, I have concluded that the following procedures are unsuitable for studying the biology of living cells in Intact animals and plants: subcellular fractionation; histology; histochemistry; electron microscopy; binding studies; use of ligands; immunocytochemistry; tissue slices; disruptive techniques; dehydration; deep freezing; freeze drying; boiling; use of extracellular markers; receptor studies; patch clamp measurements; inadequate calibrations.
[clemaneuverers note: all these procedures are central to virology, even now in 2021]
The main objections to these procedures are: (i) they change the properties of the tissues being studied grossly and significantly; (ii) they ignore the second law of thermodynamics;(iii) they produce artefacts, many of which are two-dimensional; (iv) adequate control procedures have never been published for them. I have described alternative procedures, and suggested that unsatisfactory ones should be abandoned.
I have put forward the hypothesis that the poor quality of cell biology in the 20th century and since is the reason for the failure of medical research to discover the chemical changes initiating diseases, so that a rational approach to intervening in the chemistry early on has not resulted.
I have brought evidence that so much research work of poor quality has been published that there is a huge inertia which resists publication of better quality research. Much of the current consensus in the subject is wrong.
Overall conclusions:
A. Most procedures used in research in cell biology have ignored the second law
of thermodynamics (Atkins, 1994).;
B. Control experiments for the effects of reagents and manoeuvres used on the results of experiments have been grossly inadequate;
C. Electron microscopists have ignored the dictates of solid geometry and most of the apparent structures they have detected are artefacts of their preparation procedures (Hillman and Sartory, 1980). They select their illustrations, rather than show typical ones. They prefer the results from metal deposits over those from unfixed living cells.
D. Nuclei, containing nucleoli, and mitochondria, are the only organelles present in cytoplasm (Hillman and Sartory, 1980).
E. Several structures seen in unfixed tissue by light microscopy have been ignored because they are not seen by electron microscopy (Table 4).
F. New high-resolution light microscopic techniques should be used to examine structures seen by electron microscopy (Table 7).
Electron microscopy has a resolution of up to 25 times that possible by light microscopy, and [...] new findings resulted, when the procedure was introduced. With co-authors, I have written extensively on why all these structures must be artefacts [of the preparation procedures]
The nuclei, containing the nucleoli, and the mitochondria, are the only structures seen by light microscopy in the cytoplasm of living cells. They can be seen moving in tissue cultures. All the other structures claimed to be present are only seen in electron micrographs of dead tissue, or in fixed stained histological sections.
After most of the 250 lectures on this subject that I have given in Britain, Continental Europe, North America, Israel, Thailand and Australia, members of the audience have come up to me to say they agreed with me. I asked each of them if they were prepared to express the same views in public, not necessarily mentioning my name. Their replies included, “No, no, I am afraid that I cannot do so as I'm completing my Ph.D.” “I am applying for a lectureship”. “I am seeking funds for my research”. “I am applying for a chair”. Two skilled electron microscopy technicians, who prepared illustrations for one my books, responded to my request to acknowledge their contributions by saying “No, No. It would be more than our careers would be worth.”

White liberals are getting some strongly conflicting messages here. They are taught to defer to blacks and defer to experts, but here they have hit a contradiction: 70% of blacks in NYC aren't vaccinated and they are calling any attempt to immunize them through mandates racist.
How they deal with this dilemma will be interesting to watch.

The Prime minister he was advisor to must be Hawadle Madar, who died in London in 2005. Madar was
...a former member of the Somali Revolutionary Socialist Party (SRSP); he was in office in the period leading up to the outbreak of the Somali Civil War
The SRSP was created by the military regime of [president] Siad Barre under Soviet guidance
...the SRSP developed relations with foreign communist parties, such as the Communist Party of the Soviet Union (CPSU) and Socialist Unity Party of Germany (SED)
The SRSP was nominally a Marxist–Leninist communist party
Oh, and a family friend told The Sun that he was told Ali was studying medicine.
