MES Summary of Main Paper on COVID-19 "Virus" Isolation

10 months ago

In this video I go over a summary of the main paper on COVID-19 "virus" isolation while only focusing on the paper's main claim of a "new disease-causing virus". ChatGPT had selected this paper as being the main paper on COVID-19 "virus" isolation and indeed this was the original and highly cited report by the China CDC Wuhan investigation team. I summarize all the key methods and claimed evidence provided in the report such as the chest radiographs, the heavily processed cell cultures with assumed "infection" from patient sample supernatants, and electron microscope images of dead heavy metal stained supernatants and cell cultures. I also include the claims of initial sequencing of "new viral RNA" in the supernatants, and the final computer generated "new virus genome". The paper and methods are very obscure and there is little evidence of anything significant, much less a "disease-causing new virus".

The paper is listed below:

A Novel Coronavirus from Patients with Pneumonia in China, 2019

Published on January 24, 2020 in The New England Journal of Medicine (NEJM)
