Do viruses actually exist?

Exposure to synthetic chemicals could be causing disease

Do viruses actually exist?

IF you cast your mind back to 2020, governments across the world declared a covid pandemic based on scant evidence, at best.

People got sick and died in Wuhan, China - a city known for massive industrial pollution and cases of pneumonia. It is unpleasant to say, but people have been dying since the dawn of time and so this in itself is no evidence at all.

Wuhan scientists had sequenced many short fragments of genetic material from a patient's lung fluid.

They asked a computer programme to arrange them in every single possible combination and when joined up it ended up similar to a pre-existing virus sequence contained in a database, which may or may not have been found in the same recursive way.

Scientists saying they have found the genetic sequence of a virus sounds impressive. It sounds like good proof. Except of course some or all of the individual DNA sequences, which were joined up on a computer to make this novel virus, could possibly have come from human DNA.

The scientists sequenced from an impure soup, instead of from purified and isolated virus particles. Furthermore, the scientists were only concerned with obtaining a genetic sequence. There were no studies to see if this virus was actually contagious or causing disease.
