Wickramasinghe-Hoyle panspermia needs water and salts in

by the gravity of stars, simulate the deep-ocean environment
of black smokers, which are invariably accompanied by biota.

The only place you're going to get that sort of pressure and temperature
is in deep-ocean environments (Doh !) It's irrelevant to stellar jets,
or indeed stars. Anyway, panspermia barely qualifies as a theory, and
doesn't even consider life as we don't know it.
