About the Author: Lawrence Broxmeyer, MD, is currently an internist and medical researcher. He was on staff at New York affiliate hospitals of SUNY Downstate, Cornell and New York universities for approximately 14 years. In conjunction with colleagues in San Francisco and at the University of Nebraska, he first pursued, as lead author and originator, a novel technique to kill AIDS mycobacteria and tuberculosis with outstanding results (see The Journal of Infectious Diseases 2002 Oct 15; 186[8]:1155-60). He contributed a chapter regarding these findings to Sleator and Hill’s textbook Patho-Biotechnology (Landes Bio-science, 2008). He has also written many peer-reviewed articles, available on PubMed at http://tinyurl.com/3u2ly8s._ His two- part article “The Untold Truth About Cancer” was published in NEXUS vol. 17, nos | and 2. Dr Broxmeyer can be contacted by email at nyinstituteofmedicalresearch@yahoo.com and via his website http://drbroxmeyer.netfirms.com. to ask fundamental questions about the science behind flu vaccines and antiviral drugs, we could find ourselves, in a bad epidemic, as helpless as the citizens of New Orleans during Hurricane Katrina.” Brownlee and Lenzer's advice is well taken. This paper has intentionally brought to light evidence questioning the most "fundamental" science behind influenza, its vaccine and its antiviral cures: is influenza really caused by a virus at all? For if it is indeed caused by a form of viral, cell-wall- deficient mycobacterium such as Mycobacterium influenzae or Mycobacterium tuberculosis, as scientists such as Wade and Manalang, von Unruh and Rich have documented, we could find ourselves in the midst of yet another devastating, infectious Katrina, every bit as lethal as the Great Pandemic of 1918-19. 00 Endnotes 45.
