A person can do more than one thing at the same time. For example, he can expose\/oppose the toxic vaccine. He can expose the murderous COVID treatments (ventilators, sedatives, antiviral drugs). He can expose using simple flu-like illness to create fraudulent COVID case numbers.<\/p>\n<p>And he can ALSO expose the fact that the virus has never been isolated (discovered) or sequenced.<\/p>\n<p>So highlighting the non-existence of the virus doesn\u2019t rule out dealing with other vital concerns.<\/p>\n<p>This may come as a surprise, but it\u2019s even possible to go to court to challenge a vaccine mandate, while ALSO arguing elsewhere that the virus doesn\u2019t exist. I know. Amazing, right?<\/p>\n<p>Those alarmed by \u201cthe virus doesn\u2019t exist\u201d also say: making that statement leaves us open to being called whackos, and leaves us unable to convince people that all our other criticisms of the pandemic are true.<\/p>\n<p>I would counter that in two ways. Millions of people already believe we\u2019re whackos, even those of us who take a sacred blood oath that the virus is real.<\/p>\n<p>And second, people going against the grain, when their vital issue is still in the budding stage, are always called nuts. Trust me, there was a time when criticizing vaccines made people look like total whackos in the eyes of the general public\u2014and it took decades of fighting the consensus to bring that criticism into the open, where many people saw the truth about jabs.<\/p>\n<p>Here\u2019s another fun fact. The entire medical cartel thrives on the insane proposition\u2014launched with fervor more than a hundred years ago\u2014that people suffer from thousands of distinct diseases, each of which is caused by a single germ, which must be treated by a toxic drug and prevented by a toxic vaccine.<\/p>\n<p>It is this great lie that that has killed millions upon millions upon millions of people.<\/p>\n<p>Therefore, the very real question about the existence of viruses in general is more than a weird preoccupation.<\/p>\n<p>Next, those who claim, \u201cOF COURSE viruses exist,\u201d don\u2019t know what the hell they\u2019re talking about. They\u2019re merely PARROTING what they learned in school or what researchers baldly claim in studies.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWell, all virologists can\u2019t be wrong.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Yes, Virginia, they can all be wrong. Just as vaccinologists can all be wrong about \u201cthe remarkable safety and efficacy of vaccines.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Some of the OF COURSE VIRUSES EXIST people are new to the way blogs and videos work. They\u2019ve never encountered commenters in any great numbers before. So when a few dozen committed people suddenly tell them they should examine their premises more carefully and consider what really goes on in virology labs, these OF COURSE people are annoyed and irritated. They don\u2019t like being challenged on basic issues. They don\u2019t like feeling that the floor might suddenly shift under their feet. So they turn on their arrogance machines.<\/p>\n<p>So be it.<\/p>\n<p>The issue isn\u2019t going away. Nor should it.<\/p>\n<p>Despite growing digital censorship, the internet is still the Wild West in certain respects. People are going to say THE VIRUS DOESN\u2019T EXIST, and VIRUSES DON\u2019T EXIST.<\/p>\n<p>And foundations will shake.<\/p>\n<p>Foundations of the medical cartel, and foundations underlying people\u2019s cherished assumptions.<\/p>\n<p>In any area of human life, there are conflicts between \u201cthis is strategy\u201d and \u201cthis is the truth.\u201d There always will be.<\/p>\n<p>Trying to shortchange the truth or casually say the truth is a lie doesn\u2019t work.<\/p>\n<p>NO ONE who is reading this article has ever been in a virology lab and witnessed the step by step process of \u201cdiscovering a new virus.\u201d I find that stunning. And yet all sorts of people are quite ready to assert with great finality that they know all about isolating viruses.<\/p>\n<p>If by chance, someone reading this article HAS actually been in a lab and \u201cdiscovered a virus,\u201d you can bet your bottom dollar he won\u2019t let you or me in there with a full film crew and our outlier experts asking very pointed questions about each \u201cscientific\u201d move he makes, as he \u201cisolates a virus.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>To which somebody might reply: \u201cWell, I\u2019ve never seen a car being made in a factory, but I drive one with full confidence.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Yes, but when the \u201cvirus discovered in a lab\u201d results in you or someone you love being dosed with a drug or vaccine that maims you or kills your family member, you damn well should want to get into \u201cthat factory where the car is made.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>But you can\u2019t. They won\u2019t let you\u2026<\/p>\n<p>\u2026Despite the fact that, as I\u2019ve documented many times, the US medical system kills, by a very conservative estimate,\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.jhsph.edu\/research\/centers-and-institutes\/johns-hopkins-primary-care-policy-center\/Publications_PDFs\/A154.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">225,000 people a year<\/a>, or 2.25 million people per decade. [0]<\/p>\n<p>Chew on THAT for a while.<\/p>\n<p>Here is one of my articles on the subject of virus isolation:<\/p>\n<p><em>\u2014Dr. Andrew Kaufman refutes \u201cisolation\u201d of SARS-Cov-2; he does step-by-step analysis of a typical claim of isolation; there is no proof that the virus exists\u2014<\/em><\/p>\n<p>The global medical community has been asserting that \u201ca pandemic is being caused by a virus, SARS-Cov-2.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>But what if the virus doesn\u2019t exist?<\/p>\n<p>People have been asking me for a step-by-step analysis of a mainstream claim of virus-isolation. Well, here it is.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIsolation\u201d should mean the virus has been separated out from all surrounding material, so researchers can say, \u201cLook, we have it. It exists.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>I took a typical passage from a published study, a \u201cmethods\u201d section, in which researchers describe how they \u201cisolated the virus.\u201d I sent it to\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/andrewkaufmanmd.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Dr. Andrew Kaufman<\/a>\u00a0[1], and he provided his analysis in detail.<\/p>\n<p>I found several studies that used very similar language in explaining how \u201cSARS-CoV-2 was isolated.\u201d For example,\u00a0<em>\u201cSevere Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 from Patient with Coronavirus Disease, United States, (Emerging Infectious Diseases, Vol. 26, No. 6 \u2014 June 2020)\u201d<\/em>\u00a0[2].<\/p>\n<p>First, I want to provide a bit of background that will help the reader understand what is going on in the study.<\/p>\n<p>The researchers are creating a soup in the lab. This soup contains a number of compounds. Human cells, monkey cells, antibiotics, other chemicals, random genetic material.<\/p>\n<p>The researchers assume, without evidence, that \u201cthe virus\u201d is in this soup, because they\u2019re dropped a mucus sample from a patient in the soup. At no time do they separate the purported virus from the surrounding material in the soup. Isolation of the virus is not occurring.<\/p>\n<p>They set about showing that the monkey (and\/or human cells) they put in the soup are dying. This cell-death, they claim, is being caused by \u201cthe virus.\u201d However, as you\u2019ll see, Dr. Kaufman dismantles this claim.<\/p>\n<p>There is no reason to infer that SARS-CoV-2 is in the soup at all, or that it is killing cells.<\/p>\n<p>Finally, the researchers assert, with no proof or rational explanation, that they were able to discover the genetic sequence of \u201cthe virus.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Here are the study\u2019s statements claiming isolation, alternated with Dr. Kaufman\u2019s analysis:<\/p>\n<p>STUDY: \u201cWe used Vero CCL-81 cells for isolation and initial passage [in the soup in the lab]\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n<p>KAUFMAN: \u201cVero cells are foreign cells from the kidneys of monkeys and a source of contamination. Virus particles should be purified directly from clinical samples in order to prove the virus actually exists. Isolation means separation from everything else. So how can you separate\/isolate a virus when you add it to something else?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>STUDY: \u201c\u2026We cultured Vero E6, Vero CCL-81, HUH 7.0, 293T, A549, and EFKB3 cells in Dulbecco minimal essential medium (DMEM) supplemented with heat-inactivated fetal bovine serum (5% or 10%)\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n<p>KAUFMAN: \u201cWhy use minimal essential media, which provides incomplete nutrition [to the cells]? Fetal bovine serum is a source of foreign genetic material and extracellular vesicles, which are indistinguishable from viruses.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>STUDY: \u201c\u2026We used both NP and OP swab specimens for virus isolation. For isolation, limiting dilution, and passage 1 of the virus, we pipetted 50 \u03bcL of serum-free DMEM into columns 2\u201312 of a 96-well tissue culture plate, then pipetted 100 \u03bcL of clinical specimens into column 1 and serially diluted 2-fold across the plate\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n<p>KAUFMAN: \u201cOnce again, misuse of the word isolation.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>STUDY: \u201c\u2026We then trypsinized and resuspended Vero cells in DMEM containing 10% fetal bovine serum, 2\u00d7 penicillin\/streptomycin, 2\u00d7 antibiotics\/antimycotics, and 2\u00d7 amphotericin B at a concentration of 2.5 \u00d7 105 cells\/mL\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n<p>KAUFMAN: \u201cTrypsin is a pancreatic enzyme that digests proteins. Wouldn\u2019t that cause damage to the cells and particles in the culture which have proteins on their surfaces, including the so called spike protein?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>KAUFMAN: \u201cWhy are antibiotics added? Sterile technique is used for the culture. Bacteria may be easily filtered out of the clinical sample by commercially available filters (GIBCO) [3]. Finally, bacteria may be easily seen under the microscope and would be readily identified if they were contaminating the sample. The specific antibiotics used, streptomycin and amphotericin (aka \u2018ampho-terrible\u2019), are toxic to the kidneys and we are using kidney cells in this experiment! Also note they are used at \u20182X\u2019 concentration, which appears to be twice the normal amount. These will certainly cause damage to the Vero cells.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>STUDY: \u201c\u2026We added [<em><strong>not<\/strong>\u00a0isolated<\/em>] 100 \u03bcL of cell suspension directly to the clinical specimen dilutions and mixed gently by pipetting. We then grew the inoculated cultures in a humidified 37\u00b0C incubator in an atmosphere of 5% CO2 and observed for cytopathic effects (CPEs) daily. We used standard plaque assays for SARS-CoV-2, which were based on SARS-CoV and Middle East respiratory syndrome coronavirus (MERS-CoV) protocols\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n<p>STUDY: \u201cWhen CPEs were observed, we scraped cell monolayers with the back of a pipette tip\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n<p>KAUFMAN: \u201cThere was no negative control experiment described. Control experiments are required for a valid interpretation of the results. Without that, how can we know if it was the toxic soup of antibiotics, minimal nutrition, and dying tissue from a sick person which caused the cellular damage or a phantom virus? A proper control would consist of the same exact experiment except that the clinical specimen should come from a person with illness unrelated to covid, such as cancer, since that would not contain a virus.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>STUDY: \u201c\u2026We used 50 \u03bcL of viral lysate for total nucleic acid extraction for confirmatory testing and sequencing. We also used 50 \u03bcL of virus lysate to inoculate a well of a 90% confluent 24-well plate.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>KAUFMAN: \u201cHow do you confirm something that was never previously shown to exist? What did you compare the genetic sequences to? How do you know the origin of the genetic material since it came from a cell culture containing material from humans and all their microflora, fetal cows, and monkeys?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u2014end of study quotes and Kaufman analysis\u2014<\/p>\n<p>My comments: Dr. Kaufman does several things here. He shows that isolation, in any meaningful sense of the word \u201cisolation,\u201d is not occurring.<\/p>\n<p>Dr. Kaufman also shows that the researchers want to use damage to the cells and cell-death as proof that \u201cthe virus\u201d is in the soup they are creating. In other words, the researchers are assuming that if the cells are dying, it must be the virus that is doing the killing. But Dr. Kaufman shows there are obvious other reasons for cell damage and death that have nothing to do with a virus. Therefore, no proof exists that \u201cthe virus\u201d is in the soup or exists at all.<\/p>\n<p>And finally, Dr. Kaufman explains that the claim of genetic sequencing of \u201cthe virus\u201d is absurd, because there is no proof that the virus is present. How do you sequence something when you haven\u2019t shown it exists, and you don\u2019t have an isolated specimen of it?<\/p>\n<p>Readers who are unfamiliar with my work (over 375 articles on the subject of the \u201cpandemic\u201d during the past year [4]) will ask: Then why are people dying? What about the huge number of cases and deaths? I have answered these and other questions in great detail. The subject of this article is: have researchers proved SARS-CoV-2 exists?<\/p>\n<p>The answer is no.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>SOURCES:<\/p>\n<p>[0] https:\/\/www.jhsph.edu\/research\/centers-and-institutes\/johns-hopkins-primary-care-policy-center\/Publications_PDFs\/A154.pdf<\/p>\n<p>[1] https:\/\/andrewkaufmanmd.com\/<\/p>\n<p>[2] https:\/\/wwwnc.cdc.gov\/eid\/article\/26\/6\/20-0516_article<\/p>\n<p>[3] https:\/\/www.thermofisher.com\/us\/en\/home.html<\/p>\n<p>[4] https:\/\/blog.nomorefakenews.com\/category\/covid\/<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>FURTHER READING:<\/p>\n<p><em>Is the virus real?
