Appreciated.
TEM = transmission electron microscope, IOW a type of electron microscope that examines the electrons that go through a specimen, distinguished from SEMs or REMs, say. That’s why you have to cut the specimens so thin, to allow the electrons to tunnel through. Ultramicrotomes are a subclass of microtomes, as their name implies. To insist otherwise is pedantic. Researchers experienced in the field aren’t like that, not the good ones.
It’s not nice to imply that I was lying. My career is not in the biological sciences; I was relating experiences at university, nearly 50 years ago. My memories fade, but they’re good enough. I’d be shocked if those tiny things that I was looking at were bacteria. They were too small, and their morphology was suggestive of a function, to inject genetic material into bacteria.

You started this conversation with marked sarcasm - I thought 'nice' was of no interest to you.
The CDC HAS to know whether or not there are isolated samples of these viruses and said there aren't. I'm raising the issue because living day to day with the CDC 'getting away with' constant deceipt while destroying the US bothers me. If the CDC wants to clarify why it says these samples don't exist, many would love to hear it.
The CDC owes us the truth. Why do we just have to accept whatever lie they throw at us as if they are our superiors?
