There is a link between LSD and COVID-19.
COVID-19 testing relies on polymerase chain reaction (PCR), a technique that Nobel Prize winning biologist Kary Mullis invented as a result of an LSD trip. Polymerase chain reaction technique allows identification of pathogenic organisms that are difficult to culture by detecting their DNA or RNA.
While no one can say for sure, it may be that Mullis’ LSD-inspired research may have helped to make this horrific pandemic just a little less horrific.
You can read more about Kary Mullis here. As cited in the article (and according to a 1998 profile in The Washington Post), Mullis was known as a “weird” figure in science and “flamboyant” philanderer who evangelized the use of LSD, denied the evidence for both global warming and HIV as a cause of AIDS, consulted for O.J. Simpson’s legal defense, and formed a company that sold jewelry embedded with celebrities’ DNA. [Which may also serve as a fine examples of why the psychedelic renaissance should resist temptation of falling prey to cults of personality.]
