David Icke was interviewed by Brian Rose of LondonReal.tv, 4/5/2020. Icke described coronavirus (COVID-19) as an exploitive hoax.
Mike Adams is a major critic of the medical system, however, Icke went too far for Adams.
Adams went ballistic with an article (4/9/2020), attempting to smash David Icke’s view of COVID-19 with slurs and ad hominem attacks.
Adams (photo below) promotes "natural antivirals" that protect against "viruses". If COVID-19 is a hoax, then he might appear to be promoting and profiting from a hoax. He cannot have that!
He unloads a personal attack on Icke, while claiming, “I’m actually among the most science-educated persons in independent media…”
Name calling
The independent media has been afflicted with a dangerous new contagion that I’m calling “Stupid-19.” It’s characterized by people who believe viruses aren’t real…
Adams is in effect, referring to dissident virologist Stefan Lanka, The Perth Group, Anthony Brink, David Crowe at Rethinking AIDS, as well as David Icke.
The esteemed epidemiologist, Sucharit Bhakdi, states that COVID viruses are real, however, they have long cohabited with humans. These viruses are not a hazard enough to cause a severe pandemic. He describes the media drama and medical response as absurd. He sees air pollution as much more probable than COVID-19. Because COVIDs are so common in humans, the pandemic could be, in part, a pandemic of testing. Bhakdi has 250 publications listed in PubMed. Apparently, Adams would also deem Bhakdi stupid.
Unsupported slur
Brian Rose [interviewer] didn’t challenge Icke… He let Icke roll out extremely bad misinformation grounded in science illiteracy without halting him with basic questions like, “If the virus isn’t real, then why did China enforce draconian quarantine measures that nearly destroyed its domestic economy in order to stop the spread of the virus?”
Adams, the medical critic, suddenly appears to trust the medical system, to trust the purported reasons for “quarantine measures... to stop the spread of the virus”. He is livid with cyclic logic. He must know, that if COVID-19 is not real, then the quarantines must be a charade.
The COVID-19 shutdowns have been for “nonessential” activities. Still active are government, military, transportation, Internet stores, communications, the chemical industry, utilities, electronics, agriculture and distribution, chemical industry, the media, and the medical complex. If a shutdown activity were drastically threatening the US economy, then it would simply be re-categorized as an essential activity.
The word “virus” can be used for many purposes...
For example, virus drama distracts from the most obvious cause of respiratory disease at the epicenter (Wuhan, China). Photo: CNN 7/11/2019.
The word “virus” protects polluting industries. No virus is required for an understanding of the cause of respiratory disease in Wuhan.
Insane labeling
Apparently, David Icke believes that China, Iran, Italy, Spain, France, Taiwan, Singapore, Australia, Canada, the UK, the United States and nearly a hundred other countries all got together and simultaneously agreed to run a global lockdown hoax and destroy their own domestic economies as part of a worldwide hoax. That’s literally what he believes. Such a belief is insane.
Economies are not being destroyed; they are changing. COVID-19 and protocols like self-isolation, are levers. Assets and power are shifting. Economic evolutions are occurring. Culture and law are changing. The vulnerable are highly stressed. Everyone is being challenged. Polluting industries must be protected with whatever circus is necessary.
Hypes guilt
…a very large number of independent media followers are convinced it’s all fake. That encourages them to avoid wearing masks or washing hands, thereby encouraging the further spread of the infections that are getting people killed by the thousands each day in America alone… David Icke and other pandemic denialists are complicit in the deaths of these people.
Rather than a scientific rebuttal to Icke, Adams uses fear and guilt to get his way. Big Pharma also sells its products by dramatizing fear and guilt. Adams and Pharma both do this with the germ theory of disease.
This sales technique distracts people from environmental awareness. Notice the mainstream media's ratio of attention paid to dubious COVID-19 infection compared to Wuhan's very obvious air pollution hell.

For other examples, in his book, How to Beat the Bird Flu, he hypes virus fear and vaccine efficacy, while promoting "natural antivirals". He seems to be of two minds, to put it nicely -- as if he were Modern Medicine in Nature's Clothing.
...you learn how to boost your flu immunity to prevent infection and where to find natural antiviral treatments. Remember, when the vaccines run out, antiviral foods, herbs and minerals are going to be your only option.
Is this how Adams’ business has survived so well, despite his severe attacks on powerful pharma? Adams can clarify these issues.
Adams goes to the wall to hype the Coronavirus pandemic. Media Matters quotes Adams, 2/20/2020:
We’re going to get into the heads of the globalists here to try to understand what they are thinking when they released this global pandemic and engineered this weapon against human beings, the Wuhan coronavirus.
Adams would look more foolish pushing that conspiracy if people like David Icke are correct about COVID-19 being a hoax. Adams is attacking them, but he is off to an unscientific start.
Conclusion
Mike Adams... please clarify your positions. And, what text convinced you that viruses are real, and that they are disease-causing agents? Why did you not debate Jon Rappoport and David Icke, instead of calling for their ostracization?
Later, we can deal with your claim that COVID-19 is an "engineered weapon". You might want to prepare by reviewing the following deconstruction of the word, "virus", here.
