REPLY to Question: "Some say the 'virus' has never been isolated, is this is true? If it is then there is NO reference standard for anything after that, it's all PC modeling."

QUESTION:

“I have read a lot on the Covid 'viral' so called pandemic. Some say the 'virus' has never been isolated, is this is true? If it is then there is NO reference standard for anything after that, it's all PC modeling. And don't get me started on the so called tests. If there is no virus, what is making people sick? There has to be some kind of infection...e.g. bacteriophages, exosomes? or other genetically modified pathogen? Any thoughts? Thx!”

1. Regarding the existence of viruses (generally)

I am aware that some people have made the claim that the virus does not exist, and for that matter that no virus has ever existed. I am also aware that biomedical research is contaminated by financial and political interests, and that this contamination extends also to textbooks, selected professors, and much of medical/healthcare education and practice. However, the overwhelming bulk of data, which is corroborated by each of our personal and professional experiences, is that viruses exist, the are predictable in their transmission and characteristic “expected” behaviors, consequences, and responses to treatments. Thus, even if we ignored much of the infomercialized hype and medical dogma, we (especially those of us in clinical practice who have seen these patterns confirmed thousands of time among people of all ages in diverse populations) would still have enough experience to trust in the existence of viruses per their patterns of behavior, transmission, response to treatment, etc. I have seen some claims that viruses are simply “debris” or they are “exosomes” or they are simply “the body’s way of trying to detoxify itself.” I cannot agree with any of these arguments per the little I have exposed myself to them.

Conclusion: Even if we ignored much of the infomercialized hype and medical dogma, we (especially those of us in clinical practice who have seen these patterns confirmed thousands of time among people of all ages in diverse populations) would still have enough experience to trust in the existence of viruses per their patterns of behavior, transmission, response to treatment, etc.
