Chiron Return: Synopsis of 2022-2023
This article is a summation of the past 18 months of Chiron Return. Half of the funding for the journalism mentorship nonprofit now comes from subscribers to this this Substack.
Planet Waves FM is off tonight.
Dear Friend and Reader:
Chiron Return, the journalism nonprofit spun off of the Planet Waves website, found its voice and mission in the course of responding to the 2020 crisis.
Chiron Return is the sponsor of Planet Waves FM and many other journalism projects. We featured many A-List guests on the program, something that began in early 2020.
Paying subscribers to this Substack now contribute half of the budget of Chiron Return, Inc.
Acknowledgement for our Work on the Chronology
Beginning on March 3, 2020, it took me two full years to master the concepts of the complex PCR technology behind the “covid test.” I had no prior training in genetics or biochemistry, and had help from various sources able to explain it to me as I gradually formed an understanding — mostly through interviews, writing and broadcasting.
Probing into the test, in turn, revealed issues with the isolation (meaning the existence) of the claimed virus (I politely call this the “missing virus problem.”) In the course of the investigation (lasting a total of 1,185 days), we complied a 325-page annotated chronology about the claimed genetic sequences, test and mitigation measures — the only published document of its kind.
In early 2022, we finally began receiving recognition for our work on the chronology and our associated daily publication, Covid19 News. This was thanks to Mark Borax on Vermont Public Television and then Drs. Mark and Sam Bailey of New Zealand, who told their viewers about the project (scroll down for audio and video).
We emerged as leaders in the analysis of the impact of digital conditions on the “covid” crisis as well as on people’s perceptions, beliefs and self-concepts; I’ve given many interviews on the topic.
Exposing the Claims of Robert F. Kennedy, Jr.
In the spring of 2022, a new phase of the “covid” story began: our role shifted from investigating those who created and perpetuated the crisis, to those pretending to be “truthers” and citizen advocates but who were deceiving the public.
Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., head of Children’s Health Defense (CHD), emerged as our most significant person of interest. While claiming to serve the public trust, he proffers the “lab release” conspiracy theory and advances the notion of “gain of function research,” neither of which are documented to be true.
In April 2022, I questioned Kennedy publicly about his position on (what were then) 182 health agencies in 40 countries unanimously admitting under various Freedom of Information laws that they had no record of the existence of SARS-CoV-2 — by any lab, anywhere in the world. Thanks to our friend and colleague Christine Massey, to date, 215 public health agencies and institutions unanimously admit they have no documentation that SARS-CoV-2 has ever been found in a human host.
One of our most widely-read articles questioned why Kennedy is running from the missing virus problem. We were also the first to report that he was running for president.
Cracking the Original Sequence Issue
In July 2022, we reported on a major breakthrough understanding the claimed “sequencing” of SARS-CoV-2. This development went deep into the sequence shell game probing the origins of Fan Wu’s MN908947 and Li-Li Ren’s 402123. Those who are fans of the “Little Dog essay” on Medium will get many more clues what that was really about (pertaining to the Vision Medicals team).
Poornima Wagh, Phony “Double Ph.D.”
In August 2022, we exposed the deceptions of Poornima Wagh, then a prominent “health freedom advocate” who in many public appearances falsely claimed to have two Ph.D.s from the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine. Wagh further falsely claimed to have been involved in a project that she said disproved the existence of the virus based on 1,500 “positive” samples.
We were the first and only news organization to prove her story was a sham. We utilized basic reporting methods, our contacts in the British academic community and within the London School itself, ultimately questioning Wagh in a widely-heard exclusive Planet Waves FM interview.
Thanks to this revelation, I made many appearances on podcasts and programs across the political spectrum and, with that forum, urged that independent journalists enact codes of Standards and Practices to avoid putting such people on the air without vetting them first. Chiron Return has plans this year to publish a model editorial policy that other organizations may adapt and use.
East Palestine Dioxin Train Wreck: We Were Ready
In early 2023, we were confronted with the Norfolk Southern train wreck in East Palestine, Ohio. Chiron Return maintains one of the world’s largest dioxin-related document collections (newly consolidated in a storage facility, as well as in multiple locations online). My writing portfolio includes 200 articles on dioxin and related compounds, and we set the standard for coverage of the dioxin problem.
Covering the train wreck and associated chemical spills, I wrote a series of articles that demonstrably pushed the issue into the awareness of the local population, then into the national and international press, and as high as the EPA and the U.S. Senate. This in turn led to dioxin testing in East Palestine, proving that the chemicals were present.
Press Credentials and Press Appearances
Chiron Return deputized and issued press credentials to East Palestine residents who were banned from meetings and events for not being members of the press. They in turn kept us looped into events on the ground.
In the course of our investigation, I appeared on numerous podcasts, radio and TV programs across the spectrum, from Alex Jones’ Infowars to Dennis Bernstein’s nightly program on KPFA-Berkeley. I was interviewed by Dr. Sam Bailey, The Way Forward, Terrain Theory Podcast, Natural News, Stew Peters, Perspectives on TNT Radio and many other outlets.
Our Resources and Guide to Dioxin for Citizens and Journalists, got tens of thousands of reads, and was sent to every news outlet on the EPA’s East Palestine press list. We have published the only chronologies about events in East Palestine and specifically, litigation.
Mike Yeadon, Former Pfizer Chief Scientist, Acknowledges Nonexistence of SARS-CoV-2
One of our most popular stories was an article by Mike Yeadon, former chief scientist and vice president in the Pfizer respiratory drugs division, acknowledging that SARS-CoV-2 has not been isolated. We also published a major investigative feature by Michael Bryant documenting how the “covid” pandemic scenario was set up in Italy in early 2020.
Our Goal Going Forward
Through the 2020 crisis, we initiated numerous editors and writers into basic news gathering techniques and primary source research. Our goal as an organization is to refine and focus direct-experience training and mentorship for journalists and researchers, bringing genuine discipline to bear on the most important and misreported issues of our day.
Thank you for your support of our adventure.

Special thanks to Cindy Tice Ragusa for her wisdom, devotion and friendship.
Appreciate the work put in Eric, and made available to us. Dedication is admirable. Chiron coin! Cool.
(I agree it's the little dna-like construct in a few people who won't stop for anything to get to the Truth.) Carry-on.
