Talk about confirmation bias. One can't read his article and possibly come to that conclusion since he spends 14 parts talking about the virus and then less than one paragraph in part 15 were he mentions it as one of the critiques of his other 14 parts.
You don't find the entire premise of Dan Olmsted's article to be compelling but you find his evidence to be compelling?
I am curious how you remembered this is the method used to discover the Cov 2 virus since it was not the method used at all. You have been presented with the original paper and didn't bother to read it.
Mark Bailey spent 67 pages spouting logical fallacies and pushing pseudoscience. Your link is wrong. Mark Stone is not Mark Bailey
If you or no one else has ever brought up DDT as a cause of polio then what in the hell are you even bringing it up for?
This has been done repeatedly and you simply refuse to look at the evidence. Whenever you bring up the PCR test, you admit that it can be replicated within a host cell since the entire basis of the PCR test is that it requires more than one of the viruses to run the test.
Right now that chart is pseudoscience since it does not provide the actual data. I guess you are admitting that all you have is pseudoscience.
I see you are just going to ignore the very real and evident fact that the chart does not list or provide any axis that shows what quantities it is using.
At this point, you have ignored the scientific method twice when I introduced it so I will bring it up again.
As a side note, your chart lists work by Hayes and Lawes who did extensive work in DDT.For starters, Tessa Lena stated that polio wasn't officially eradicated in the U.S. until 1979. Secondly, while DDt may not have been banned until 1972, its production was severely curtailed by the early 60s. Perhaps most important of all, however, Tessa Lena never argued that DDT was the only possible cause of polio. Looking through her article, I came upon another article that I've seen before and that has a graph that I think is interesting. I'll share it below:

Pesticide Composite: Summary
Just over three billion pounds of persistent pesticides are represented in the graph below.
Virtually all peaks and valleys correlate with a direct one-to-one relationship with each pesticide as it enters and leaves the US market. Generally, pesticide production precedes polio incidence by 1 to 2 years. I assume that this variation is due to variations in reporting methods and the time it takes to move pesticides from factory to warehouse, through distribution channels, onto the food crops and to the dinner table.
A composite of the three previous graphs, of the persistent pesticides -- lead, arsenic, and the dominant organochlorines (DDT and BHC) -- is represented in the following:

These four chemicals were not selected arbitrarily. These are representative of the major pesticides in use during the last major polio epidemic. They persist in the environment as neurotoxins that cause polio-like symptoms, polio-like physiology, and were dumped onto and into human food at dosage levels far above that approved by the FDA. They directly correlate with the incidence of various neurological diseases called "polio" before 1965. They were utilized, according to Biskind, in the "most intensive campaign of mass poisoning in known human history."

This is from Hayes in 1969 about DDT.

Eat Salmon With DDT For Years Without Harmful Effect , Says Professor
You can eat Coho Salmon containing 19 parts per million of DDT , mornmg , noon , and night as your total diet for a least 19 years without any harmful effect . Dr Wayland J . Hayes , foimer Chief of Toxicology of the United States Public Health Seivice , testified as DDT heaimgs resumed in Madison Di Hayes based his conclusion on the results of his research with DDT factory workers with intensive exposure , and with human volunteers to whom DDT was fed at higher levels without ill effect Dr Hayes
This seems to be pattern with you and your sources. The actual work you cite often directly contradicts your claims. This is further evidence of your side cherry picking select things and ignoring 99% of the rest of the work so you can confirm your bias.

No. I did read it which is why I did the research to look up Hayes and Lawes and read their actual work which is pretty extensive when it comes to DDT.It appears you didn't really pay attention to how the work of Hayes and Laws was referred to in Jim West's article. The article certainly -starts- with a warning from Hayes and Laws. To whit:
**
It has been alleged that DDT causes or contributes to a wide variety of diseases of humans and animals not previously recognized as associated with any chemical. Such diseases included... poliomyelitis, ...such irresponsible claims could produce great harm and, if taken seriously, even interfere with scientific search for true causes...[1] (Handbook of Pesticide Toxicology, edited by Wayland J. Hayes, Jr. and Edward R. Laws, 1991)
**
But -immediately- after that bit, Jim West counters with the following:
**
Hayes and Laws were informing their readers about the heretic, Dr. Morton S. Biskind.
In 1953, when Biskind's writings were published, the United States had just endured its greatest polio epidemic. The entire public was steeped in dramatic images -- a predatory poliovirus, nearly a million dead and paralyzed children, iron lungs, struggling doctors and dedicated nurses. The late president Franklin D. Roosevelt had been memorialized as a polio victim who was infected with the deadly poliovirus near the beautiful and remote island of Campobello. The media was saturated with positive images of scientific progress and the marvels of DDT to kill disease-carrying mosquitoes. Jonas Salk was in the wings, preparing to be moved center stage.
Through this intellectually paralyzing atmosphere, Dr. Biskind had the composure to argue what he thought was the most obvious explanation for the polio epidemic: Central nervous system diseases such as polio are actually the physiological and symptomatic manifestations of the ongoing government and industry sponsored inundation of the world's populace with central nervous system poisons.
Today, few remember this poignant writer who struggled with the issues of pesticides, issues that Rachel Carson would be allowed to politely bring to public awareness nine years later, as the lead story in The New Yorker magazine and then as a national best seller, by limiting her focus to the environment and wildlife. Biskind had the audacity to write about human damage.
I found "M.S. Biskind" in the endnotes to Hayes' and Laws' diatribe. What could possibly have motivated Hayes' and Laws' biased genuflection towards germ theory? Such offerings, commonly written into the final paragraphs of scientific articles, are usually done with an appearance of impartiality. With great anticipation, I went to a medical library and found Biskind's 10-page 1953 article in the American Journal of Digestive Diseases. [2] Presented below are excerpts regarding polio from his article.
In 1945, against the advice of investigators who had studied the pharmacology of the compound and found it dangerous for all forms of life, DDT (chlorophenoethane, dichlorodiphenyl-trichloroethane) was released in the United States and other countries for general use by the public as an insecticide. [...]
Since the last war there have been a number of curious changes in the incidence of certain ailments and the development of new syndromes never before observed. A most significant feature of this situation is that both man and all his domestic animals have simultaneously been affected.In man, the incidence of poliomyelitis has risen sharply; [...]
It was even known by 1945 that DDT is stored in the body fat of mammals and appears in the milk. With this foreknowledge the series of catastrophic events that followed the most intensive campaign of mass poisoning in known human history, should not have surprised the experts. Yet, far from admitting a causal relationship so obvious that in any other field of biology it would be instantly accepted, virtually the entire apparatus of communication, lay and scientific alike, has been devoted to denying, concealing, suppressing, distorting and attempts to convert into its opposite, the overwhelming evidence. Libel, slander and economic boycott have not been overlooked in this campaign. [...]
Early in 1949, as a result of studies during the previous year, the author published reports implicating DDT preparations in the syndrome widely attributed to a "virus-X" in man, in "X-disease" in cattle and in often fatal syndromes in dogs and cats. The relationship was promptly denied by government officials, who provided no evidence to contest the author's observations but relied solely on the prestige of government authority and sheer numbers of experts to bolster their position.[...]
["X-disease"] ...studied by the author following known exposure to DDT and related compounds and over and over again in the same patients, each time following known exposure. We have described the syndrome as follows: ...In acute exacerbations, mild clonic convulsions involving mainly the legs, have been observed. Several young children exposed to DDT developed a limp lasting from 2 or 3 days to a week or more. [...]
Simultaneously with the occurrence of this disorder [X-disease] a number of related changes occurred in the incidence of known diseases. The most striking of these is poliomyelitis. In the United States the incidence of polio had been increasing prior to 1945 at a fairly constant rate, but its epidemiologic characteristics remained unchanged. Beginning in 1946 the rate of increase more than doubled. Since then remarkable changes in the character of the disease have been noted. Contrary to all past experience, the disease has remained epidemic year after year.**

No, I refuse to do your homework for you. If you believe one or more papers has evidence that bolsters your viewpoint, present it as I do- by quoting the relevant material and then linking your source.
Right.... As I said, you are the flat earther claiming that the rest of the world needs to prove the Earth is spherical. If you had any legitimate intellectual curiosity, you would have already been looking at information from so-called "ideological opponents" and wouldn't just now be looking for it.
