“If the actual sample has never been isolated, how do you guarantee that the string you posted matches the so-called “real” virus?”
The joy of science is it is replicable and testable.
Take a nasal swab of someone with Covid, sequence it, and you will find a version of this genome.
Take a swab of someone without Covid (which includes any samples from pre-2019) and these sequences will not be found.
This is an easy test to do, and since every major hospital in the world can do this work, is has been done more than a million times so far.
That’s funny. The CDC test uses what they claim is detection of antibody reactions to nasal swabs; they do not do the viral sequencing routinely on individuals, and do not make that technology available.
Nice try, moron.
Oh, that’s right.
The titers are low enough they use PCR to amplify the sample.
And the guy who won the Nobel for PCR said it should never be used for diagnosis.
Suck it dry, troll-boi.
Please remind me how one of the recently assassinated African leaders submitted samples from things like fruit and from goats, and they tested positive for Coof.
Because SCIENCE!™
Troll.
