Gregg L. Semenza telephone conversation with Adam Smith was recorded just after he had received news of his Nobel Prize and his surprise at the news is evident. “Even after people have been telling you for 20 years or more that it’s going to happen,” he says, “No-one expects it.”
Gregg Semenza, one of the recipients of the 2019 Nobel Prize in physiology or medicine for his work on how cells sense and adapt to oxygen availability, which helps understand the impact of decreased oxygen levels in blood disorders, blinding eye diseases, cancer, diabetes, coronary artery disease, and other conditions.

Didn’t I recently read a tweet about you musing about fossil fuels was intentionally being used to lower the oxygen level?
Well, if one views life in a spiritual warfare model one could argue that “fossil fuels” may have been chosen deliberately for that purpose. Seems to be a direct connection with reducing oxygen levels being a contributing factor in human diseases.
With all the human advances since the 1840’s we have seen a transition from the horse to interplanetary rocket. From the quill pen to a supercomputer.
And at the same time humans are no longer self-reliant and have bodies with chronic diseases as they live longer.
And what did some of the oil companies do with their mega-profits?
They started foundations to funnel $’s into social/political programs and invested in big pharma
Very interesting , if you look at the Nobel prize of
