EFSA’s confession shows the agency’s advice is not based on scientific input
April 17, 2026 newsletter
Greetings and Best Wishes,
European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) has now responded to a challenge posed in late February, by admitting that it is “not in a position” to cite scientific evidence authored by anyone, anywhere, ever of any alleged Poxviridae virus or showing that any illness attributed to a Poxviridae virus is contagious or transmissible.
EFSA influences decisions made by the European Parliament, European Commission and Member States including decisions to, as a colleague in Greece describes it: “decimate the livestock industry”, based on virus/contagion cover stories including imagined Poxviridae viruses (sheeppox virus, goatpox virus, lumpy skin disease virus) and foot and mouth disease virus.
Background
On April 6th I reported that European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control, Ministry of Rural Development and Food (Greece), National Public Health Organization (Greece) and European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) had all failed when challenged to provide or cite valid scientific evidence relating to any Poxviridae virus narrative.
This came as no surprise to those who have already caught onto the absurdly pseudoscientific nature of virology and ‘germ’ research more generally.
ESFA in particular had acknowledged the challenge and provided a deadline for response, but then fell and remained silent weeks after the deadline passed.
The challenge had been directed to EFSA’s Chief Scientist Carlos Gonçalo das Neves, who previously acted as Head of Virology at the Norwegian Veterinary Institute, or anyone else at the EFSA to whom he might wish to delegate.
The day following my report, EFSA reestablished contact and eventually claimed to have already responded to the challenge (pgs 5-8).
EFSA’s Confession
Below are the pertinent sections of EFSA’s contradictory response, which was provided on April 14th by EFSA’s “Ask a Question service” from EFSA’s “noreply” email address (pgs 7-8). The bolding is mine.
“…the questions you have raised do not fall within the scope of EFSA’s scientific outputs or assessments.
EFSA’s primary role as a risk assessor is to provide independent scientific advice on risks related to food and feed safety. This advice supports the decisions taken by risk managers at EU and Member State levels (i.e. the European Commission, European Parliament and Member States)….
EFSA’s work on Poxviridae viruses (such as lumpy skin disease, sheep pox and goat pox) is thus limited to scientific risk assessment tasks.
EFSA does not perform laboratory virology research or validate diagnostic tests. Consequently, we are not in a position to provide specific information on the points you mentioned…”
Note EFSA’s red-herring excuse for being unable to cite even 1 study, which I underlined in blue:
“EFSA does not perform laboratory virology research or validate diagnostic tests.”
This is irrelevant given that EFSA’s Chief Scientist Carlos Gonçalo das Neves, who acted as Head of Virology at the Norwegian Veterinary Institute, was challenged to (directly or through any EFSA delegate of his choice) “provide or cite studies authored by anyone, anywhere, ever…” The challenge was not specific to studies conducted at EFSA.
My response to EFSA, copied to Chief Scientist Carlos Gonçalo das Neves and hundreds of witnesses (pgs 9-10):
“…As for your response, it is nonsensical and contradictory. You claim on the one hand that EFSA provides “independent scientific advice on risks related to food and feed safety“, including work on Poxviridae viruses, yet at the same time confess that EFSA is “not in a position” to meet my challenge which is to: provide or cite studies authored by anyone, anywhere, ever:
-that scientifically prove or provide evidence of the existence of any alleged virus of the Poxviridae family or
-wherein the purported “genome” of any of these alleged viruses was found intact or
-that scientifically demonstrate transmission / contagion of any of the illnesses allegedly caused by any alleged Poxviridae virus or
-wherein any test that purportedly relates to any alleged Poxviridae virus was validated or
-that at least describe purification of particles claimed to be any alleged Poxviridae virus, directly from bodily fluid/tissue/excrement of so-called “hosts”.
You have demonstrated that EFSA is not independent, that EFSA simply goes along with the establishment’s germ/contagion rumours (which are based on falsified/ridiculous pseudoscience) and that EFSA provides unscientific advice relating to imagined particles that EFSA’s Chief Scientist and entire staff cannot even show exist.
The results are vicious and devasting and based on fraud/constructive fraud.”
According to a 23.11.2020 post on Norwegian Veterinary Institute’s website, Carlos Gonçalo das Neves, as Director for Research and Internationalisation at NVI, was nominated to an international taskforce “led by Dr. Peter Daszak president of EcoHealth Alliance… chaired by Dr. Jeffrey D. Sachs of Columbia University”, with Daszak quoted as saying they would “conduct a thorough and rigorous investigation into the origins and early spread of SARS-CoV-2” – which to this day has in fact never been shown to exist… just like every other imagined virus.If you are looking for more information on the topic of virology or the failed germ/contagion paradigm more generally, there are many resources to get you started here.
Official FOI Confessions/Failures Confirm What the Literature Shows: Virology is PseudoscienceMy notarized affidavit regarding the hundreds of freedom of information responses (FOIs) confirming the fraud and delusion of virology, with German and Greek translations, also here.
Freedom of Information Responses reveal that health/science institutions around the world (225 and counting!) have no record of SARS-COV-2 (the alleged convid virus) isolation/purification, anywhere, ever.
Excel file listing the 225 institutions.
FOI responses on other imaginary “viruses” (HIV, avian influenza, HPV, influenza, measles, etc., etc., etc.).
FOIs on secretive and unscientifically “mock infected” cells (aka invalid controls) and computer-model “viral genomes”.
3000+ pages of “virus” FOIs in compilation pdfs.
Failed FOI responses on contagion.
FOIs: Do health and science institutions have studies showing that bacteria CAUSE disease?
Because “they” don’t exist and virology isn’t a science.
For truth, freedom and sanity,
