This page looks at the epidemiology of influenza and asks if it is not somehow related to the newly discovered phenomenon of magnetic potential vortices. The idea is that at certain times of the year there is an increased likelihood of structured electromagnetic discharge from the ionosphere that is somehow causing outbreaks.

The epidemiology of flu demonstrates several outstanding and well documented features that need some explaining:
- Seasonality with sharp peaks at winter solstice
- Latitudinal correlation of outbreaks
- Hemispherical correlation – an epidemic in the Northern hemisphere is followed by an epidemic in the Southern hemisphere
- Tropical outbreaks – in both summer and winter
- Local outbreaks independent of population density
Seasonality The chart shows deaths from influenza and pneumonia. The seasonal accuracy is striking, with peak deaths occurring close to winter solstice and the ‘base rate’ in summer remaining at a constant level.

This sort of phenomenon cannot be caused by light or temperature levels as these vary from year to year and vary greatly according to latitude.
What is happening is that the health of the population has become entrained somehow to the seasonal rhythm and is for some reason more susceptible to disease at mid winter. A not unreasonable hypothesis is that this resonant entrainment is in response to some feature of the Earth’s magnetic field as this will be independent of both temperature and light levels.
Correlations with day length or humidity are from this point of view, illusory.
Latitudinal synchrony. This chart from the Fred Hoyle paper Viruses from Space (originally from Hope-Simpson) shows influenza rates in Prague and in Cirencester, UK. They both lie on the same latitude and both show remarkably similar patterns. Other studies support this pattern.
Note that in the winter of 1973-73, the peak rates are delayed past solstice in both places by the same amount. This suggests that it is maybe not the population that is directly attuned to the seasons but rather that some other cause is responsible for the flu and it is this phenomenon that is itself strongly seasonal but is capable of variation
The attack rates of influenza in Prague and Cirencester(Hope-Simpson)
A departure from solstice is seen and it is consistent along a line of latitude.
Magnetic field vortices. Shown is a mini tornado, a vortex of spinning air that can form seemingly out of nowhere and vanish when sufficient energy has been dissipated. The physics of Konstantin Meyl allows for such vortices, not only in the physical substance of the air but also in the magnetic field of the Earth itself.

The surface of the Earth and the ionosphere form two capacitor plates with a potential difference of about 200 000 volts and classical physics allows for a discharge between the two as either a steady slow current spread out over the whole planet or a sudden violent discharge in the form of lightning during a storm.

The newly formulated equations from Konstantin Meyl however allow for instabilities in the field to form vortex currents and to discharge much in the same way as the mini-tornado.
Corona discharge. Such vortices can be seen in an extreme version as corona discharge coming from protuberances on power lines but there isn’t any reason why somewhat subtler energies should not discharge in an invisible and apparently harmless manner from ionosphere to ground.
Tropical outbreaks are discernible in the data from the Hope-Simpson paper. It appears that influenza is sensitive to what must be a very small stimulus so either the population is resonating to the seasons or some other intermediary is doing the job.
Outbreaks in the tropics are in both summer and winter solstices. Smaller outbreaks also occur outside of the tropics at other times of year.
These seem like harmonics. The ionosphere is resonating somehow like a large electromagnetic bell with a fundamental frequency of one year and harmonics at six month and three month intervals.
Hemispherical correlation. Another chart, again from Hope-Simpson, shows the coincidence of an ‘epidemic’ in the Northern Hemisphere followed by a similar feature six months later in the Southern.
- Viral transmission – not credible
- Solar effect in the north waits for six months and re-emerges in the south – not particularly credible
Again this looks like an annual effect of some atmospheric resonance. A standing wave of some sort is present and effects apparent on one side of the planet are seen on the other side at a 180° phase difference without necessarily passing through intermediate points.
Videos of resonating membranes and balloons help visualise what might be happening with the ionosphere. The (1,1) mode right shows a standing wave developing with large amplitude at each ‘pole’ and smaller amplitude within the tropics (centre).

This is the basic mode for resonating waves and superpositions of higher degree harmonics on top of this can explain the finer grained seasonal effects. Note that the Earth’s physical and magnetic bodies do not form a simple symmetric system like a balloon. The physical and magnetic poles are not in the same place, the Earth is at an angle and is spinning with respect to its own orbit around the sun.
The ionosphere is not necessarily vibrating with a physical amplitude but rather a variation of magnetic characteristics.
Local outbreaks of flu were studied by Fred Hoyle and summarised here: The HART group model. It is easy to think that if flu tends to occur in localised groups that it must be infectious but the data studied by Hoyle not only did not support this view but actually ruled it out.

The outbreaks were localised but were scattered in a fashion that was random with respect to location and random with respect to the population density. Hoyle believed in some sort of viral cause and so reached the only conclusion he could which was that the virions had come from outer space and were only available during winter because of the location of the Earth within the solar system.
Time to consider localised magnetic vortices instead.
The hypothesis of this page then is that:
- Magnetic potential vortices are responsible for influenza outbreaks.
- Such vortices can be as thin as a pencil beam or as wide as a cruise ship
- They will cause about 10% of the affected population to succumb to flu
- They are more prevalent in winter
- They are produced by some magnetic instability that respects latitude
- They are not easily measurable by scientific instruments
- They can pass straight through the roof of a building
Anecdotes of entire families or hospital wards getting flu at the same time now make sense; they were all in the same room at the same time or went out on a walk together and had their regulatory systems disturbed by the same magnetic field discharge.
Do such vortices exist?
Images of magnetic vortices have now been created from data produced by radio telescopes.
In this video Cleo Loi explains the process and shows what appear to be the upper half of magnetic ring vortices in the atmosphere which organise ionised gas particles (plasma) into the shapes seen.
Now if these magnetic field patterns show some seasonal variation and latitudinal affinity then they are surely a good candidate for the initial cause of the processes described above.
Man made radiation. There is much evidence to show that proximity to cell-phone towers increases the risk of chronic diseases such as cancer but can also trigger episodes of influenza; so much so that Soviet scientists labelled the disease ‘radio wave sickness’. [link]

Konstantin Meyl is claiming that it is not the radio waves themselves that are having biological effects but rather the scalar waves )potential vortices) that are emitted as an artefact and are measured as ‘noise’ by scientific instruments.
Much circumstantial evidence points to magnetic vortices as responsible for biological organisation and Meyl has stated simply that ‘the brain is a scalar wave computer’.
This then accounts for the sickness resulting from cell-phone towers and also for the confusion created when performing studies. They are measuring the wrong thing, and getting inconsistent results; they are measuring the transverse radio waves instead of the longitudinal.
Pneumonia Why is influenza associated with pneumonia and why does the one seem to transform into the other? Why does pneumonia seem to happen mostly in hospitals and why is it not infectious? Why do diseases seem to get worse as more patients are added to a crowded ward?

Pneumonia is characterised by a deterioration and eventual necrosis of lung tissue followed by a bacterial proliferation which serves the purpose of removing the dead tissue.
The lungs gave a lot of work to do which makes them somewhat sensitive to energy or oxygen deficit. They must maintain two separate blood circulations, one to collect oxygen from the inhaled air and another to supply oxygen to the lung tissue itself.
The blood moves around the capillaries powered by scalar waves (Blood flow and scalar waves) and this movement serves as the one of the main powerhouses for the circulation to the whole body.
Heart rate and hence blood flow are reduced immediately upon posture departing from the vertical (The Heart and Circulation) and so lying in a hospital bed is already reducing oxygen to all parts of the body. Not a good healing state.
Meyl has stated that atmospheric moisture contains stored energy in the form of scalar waves and that this energy can be released into the lungs upon inhalation. Scalar waves can continue to absorb energy from solar neutrinos and can release it in various forms:
- Movement aiding the flow of blood
- Materialisation of electrons
- Transmutation of other elements (?)
- The release of oxygen into the blood by the splitting of H2O
So a vulnerable person succumbs to flu one winter, feels dreadful and is admitted to hospital as a precaution. The windows are closed and they are breathing air that has been depleted by other patients and possibly re-cycled via an air conditioning system, They are lying horizontal which reduces circulation automatically and therefore deprives the body of oxygen and the blood of its locomotive force. In addition to this they are very likely surrounded by various electronic devices emitting an unholy mixture of microwaves and magnetic vortices.
The lungs have been deprived of oxygen and energy, the tissue is stressed to breaking point and pneumonia ensues.
Florence Nightingale said that as patients were added to a ward, it wasn’t that new diseases emerged but that existing diseases got worse. We can now give a reason for this and also to give some explanation for legionnaire’s disease; the recycling of air by whatever means is leading to a dangerous lack of scalar vortex energy.

Summary
The hypothesis outlined above is somewhat speculative but there is good evidence for each of the separate parts.
An explanation for the epidemiology of influenza is a necessity for any hypothetical mechanism and this rules out a virus as a cause. The idea of magnetic discharge from the ionosphere however is consistent with population data and there are documented mechanisms for causing disease: EMF and Biology
Questions as to how the effects of 5G ,for example, can mimic an assumed seasonal viral disorder are now answered by saying that the symptoms are the same because the cause is the same and hence the disease is also the same in each case. It is a bio-regulatory disturbance caused by magnetic potential vortices of some form or another.
