“A photo on the internet doesn’t prove it’s really the COVID 19 virus in the photo, either. Not nearly as hard to deepfake, and harder for a layperson to detect photoshop.”
A quick search of Google Scholar gives 20,000 papers so far published on using electron microscopy to study SARS-CoV-2. Are you suggesting all 20,000 of them are faked?
Put it this way. If I took a grainy greyscale photo like that, without any metadata attached, and without allowing you to use Google reverse image search or TinEye, would you be able to ascertain definitively, exactly what cell type and virus was involved?
That's the joy of scientific fakery. Goes back to a novel written in the 1930s by a practicing scientist, C.P. Snow, The Search. One of the characters says
"The only ethical principle which has made science possible is that the truth shall be told all the time. If we do not penalize false statements made in error, we open up the way for false statements by intention. And a false statement of fact, made deliberately, is the most serious crime a scientist can commit."
Given
a) the number of multi-billion dollar judgments against Pfizer for CRIMINAL falsifying in the past
b) the untold number of billions of dollars to be made by the mRNA jabs
c) the political pressure to experiment with mRNA jabs outside of the coof as a vehicle for delivery of other therapeutics, e.g. anti-cancer
d) the political pressure for the jab as social control
e) the past history of lies, including in The Lancet, about the origin of the coof as a Chinese-engineered creation
f) the pressure on doctors to not publicize adverse reactions
g) the lies about masking
h) the lies/suppression of HCQ/Ivermectin
i) the lies about "vaccine" efficacy and the shortcuts taken in human trials (duration, size, composition of subject and placebo groups)
The barn door on lying in this situation has been left wide open for more than a year.
