Dear Punter,
“In order for this to be demonstrated you need to take said germs in vitro and inject them into human/animal tissue and observe the expected pathogenesis.” I’d like you to take a look at
Kłak et al. Tranexamic acid, an inhibitor of plasminogen activation, aggravates staphylococcal septic arthritis and sepsis. Scand J Infect Dis (2010) vol. 42 (5) pp. 351-8
Just one of the thousands of articles that can be found that use a septic arthritis model, whereby they take cultured, pure bacteria, inject them into a joint, and observe for sepsis. No joke, no lie. You’re wrong.
BUT unfortunately your distrust of “authority” leads me to believe that you have a slightly paranoid delusion about the world, and your inability to trust others will force you to find some way of getting around this article as well. Do you drive a car? Do you stick to the speed limit? Do you know how your speedometer works? I know the principles behind it, but not every detail, yet I trust it to tell me the speed. I trust it to keep me from being fined. It’s just part of life that we trust others.
As for my background, I’ve been working in labs most of my life, and I have a degree in epidemiology. May I suggest you take a walk down to your local hospital or university and talk face-to-face with some of the scientists there? You’ll find most of them are quite humble, yet almost excitable when you ask them about their research. If you find an incredibly patient one you might be able to sit down and have them explain the basics of microbiology to you, and have a look for yourself at the bacteria that you think are so benign.
I don’t need you either, Punter, but please educate yourself in some good quality science, and maybe a read a textbook or two.
