This expert essay argues that the field of virology is a pseudoscience, built on foundational claims that fail to meet the requirements of the scientific method. It contends that no pathogenic virus, including SARS-CoV-2, has ever been physically isolated, purified, and proven to cause disease. Instead, virologists have created a self-referential system where the word 'isolation' is redefined to describe uncontrolled cell culture experiments. These experiments generate effects attributed to a hypothetical virus, which is then 'found' using genetic sequencing and PCR amplification techniques. This circular reasoning allows for the creation of digital 'viruses' and entire pandemics based on computer simulations and molecular reactions, without any need for a physical pathogen.
The foundational failure of viral isolation
The core problem in virology is the consistent failure to isolate and purify viral particles directly from the tissues or fluids of a sick person or animal. Freedom of Information (FOI) requests to over 200 global health institutions have confirmed that none hold any records demonstrating the purification of SARS-CoV-2 from a patient sample. This is the critical first step required by scientific logic to prove a particle's existence before it can be studied or claimed to be a cause of disease.
Redefining 'isolation' to obscure a lack of proof
To bypass this failure, virologists have unilaterally changed the meaning of 'isolation'. In virology, 'isolation' does not mean separating one thing from all others. It refers to the process of adding unpurified patient samples to cell cultures, typically from monkey kidneys (Vero E6 cells). When these cells die—a phenomenon called a cytopathic effect (CPE)—it is asserted that a virus from the sample was responsible. This redefinition misleads the public and scientific community into believing a physical virus has been found.
The critical lack of scientific controls
Virology's cell culture experiments are invalidated by a complete lack of adequate controls. The observed CPEs are not exclusive to the presence of a 'virus'. As demonstrated in control experiments by researchers like Dr. Stefan Lanka, these same cell-damaging effects can be created simply by starving the cells or exposing them to the toxic antibiotics and other chemicals used in the culture process. Without a proper control—using a sample from a healthy person and subjecting it to the exact same procedure—the results of these experiments are scientifically meaningless.
The invention of the SARS-CoV-2 "genome"
The alleged SARS-CoV-2 virus was not discovered; it was invented in a computer. The foundational paper by Fan Wu et al. did not start with an isolated virus. Instead, researchers took a fluid sample from a single patient's lungs, extracted all the genetic material present, and used software to stitch together millions of short genetic fragments into a long, continuous sequence. This new computer-generated, or in silico, genome was then arbitrarily declared to be a novel coronavirus.
From computer code to a global pandemic
This fictional genome, named 'WH-Human 1', became the "gold standard" reference for SARS-CoV-2. The Corman-Drosten PCR test protocol was designed based on this digital template. A positive PCR result, which only indicates the presence of specific genetic fragments, was then illogically defined by the WHO as a "case" of COVID-19, irrespective of clinical symptoms. This created a pandemic through a testing regime calibrated to a computer model, all based on the unproven assumption that the sequences originated from a pathogenic virus.
A system of circular reasoning
The entire COVID-19 paradigm is built on circular logic. A computer model is called a 'virus'. A PCR test is designed to find sequences from that model. A positive test is claimed to confirm an 'infection' with the 'virus'. Antibodies, made by injecting animals with proteins derived from the computer model's code, are then used to 'prove' past infection. At no point is a physical, disease-causing virus ever demonstrated to exist, rendering the entire construct a sophisticated, multi-level deception.
