This should raise some questions:
Detection of 2019 novel coronavirus (2019-nCoV) by real-time RT-PCR
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6988269/
This is the paper in which Christian Drosten was an author. Christian Drosten is a German virologist.
From the paper:
Aim
"We aimed to develop and deploy robust diagnostic methodology for use in public health laboratory settings without having virus material available.
Methods
Here we present a validated diagnostic workflow for 2019-nCoV, its design relying on close genetic relatedness of 2019-nCoV with SARS coronavirus, making use of synthetic nucleic acid technology."
Note in the quote above, it is stated that they did not have virus material available, yet they developed a PCR test and submitted it to the WHO.
The WHO subsequently declared a worldwide pandemic. Does this sound like a valid, legitimate process based on science?
How is it that you can devise a test for something you do not have? How reliable do you think that test would be?
In this paper, "A new coronavirus associated with human respiratory disease in China"
https://www.nature.com/articles/s41586-020-2008-3
it is stated they generated 56,565,928 sequence reads composed of 150 base pair reads. They then assembled 384,096 contigs. A contig is a set of DNA segments or sequences that overlap in a way that provides a contiguous representation of a genomic region. Just because they overlap does not mean the were previously part of a continuous sequence. A contig is a contiguous length of genomic sequence in which the order of bases is known to a high confidence level.
** Note that it says high confidence level, not known definitively.
Of the 384,096 contigs the longest was 30,474 nucleotides. The authors state it is closely related to a bat SARS-like coronavirus with a nucleotide identity of 89.1%. There is a 4% difference in DNA between humans and chimpanzees, so an 11% difference could certainly be significant and they give no reason why they concluded this was adequate.
Since the lab equipment they use, in this case the Illumina MiniSeq, reads 150 base pairs at a time, they are only reading very small fragments (0.5% on each read) if they assert the viral genome is 30,474 base pairs. For comparison, the human genome contains approximately 3 billion base pairs in 23 genes.
Does SARS-CoV2 exist in the real world? It could if they synthesize it in a lab. If they did, is it of any concern to us? Has it ever been sourced from a human being or is it only something that is studied in labs?
The following shows at least part of the genome has been patented:
That should make it quite clear the chance of SARS-CoV2 being natural is so close to zero that it is effectively zero.
To go further into the weeds on this topic, see this substack:
The author asserts that:
Using BLAST is easy. I'm going to show you how easy and how to prove that SARS-Cov-2 is man-made
From the above substack:
In theory nothing is impossible in science, medicine or genomics. A SARS virus emerging naturally with 3 HIV inserts at its binding sites and also containing a furin cleavage site that doesn’t exist in nature but does exist in a Moderna patent… that’s seriously crazy talk. It doesn’t exist. A flying pink elephant would be a million times more likely.
Nowhere in any paper I have looked at does it describe reading the full 30,474 base pair genome that is purported to be the length of the SARS-CoV2 virus. It is always 'assembled' or 'aligned' with computer software. Given the additional information from Arkmedic’s substack, it is reasonable to conclude that SARS-CoV2 is not found in nature, it is a man made construct.
The laziness and lack of attention to detail at the heart of virology is something to behold. But then again, given their hero Pasteur was a fraud, it’s hardly surprising.
Hey Brian, here is some leisurely reading for you covering several of the flaws of that PCR test of which you write: https://cormandrostenreview.com/report/ --- the method simply detects short RNA segments, not whole intact virus, and really should only be considered as a piece of a whole clinical picture that the patient is presenting with, not standing in a parking lot line to get swabbed... And since when have we ever made such drastic decisions/mandates on the back of ONE LAB test?!?! More like we are following the science fiction!
