Rejection of germ theory

Bush is a proponent of Béchamp’s “terrain theory” as the sole underlying reason for infectious illnesses and rejects the science of germ theory.

In a 2023 interview, Bush claimed, “It’s very difficult to prove a germ causes a disease, and this goes all the way to our most famous one, maybe being HIV. The first sentence in every HIV peer-reviewed science journal you’ve ever read starts with the sentence - HIV is the virus that causes the syndrome called AIDS - and there is never a reference on that first sentence, but you have to start your paper with that if it’s going to get past peer review because we have this dogmatic belief that this virus causes AIDS. And yet no scientific experiment that we’ve ever done showed that we could take HIV and give it to an animal or human and cause the syndrome we call AIDS. And so, there's this disconnect between the occurrence of viruses, and the syndromes that occur in those human beings that may be expressing a virus.”

Bush believes that PM 2.5 air pollution is causing hypoxia seen in Covid-19, that humans should not try to stop the SARS-2 coronavirus from spreading, and in a 2020 interview promoted the ideas that vaccines and social distancing will make the pandemic worse.He has also made public comments directly implying that mRNA vaccines will genetically modify humans.

On vaccines in general, Bush has stated, "Vaccines should no longer be implemented in the population until we understand the downstream consequences of that vaccine in the human experience." On masks for Covid-19 Bush says, "...from my standpoint, we don't know yet if they help or not. That doesn't make sense that they would because they can't stop viruses. Penetrating viruses are smaller than those air passages are. So, we can take them through. We've shown that they go through because you can swab it right on the outside of the mask and not on the inside of the mask."
