Yes, SARS-CoV-2 Is a Real Virus

Story at-a-glance

SARS-CoV-2 has been isolated, photographed, genetically sequenced, and exists as a pathogenic entity
The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention grows the virus in cell culture to ensure widespread availability for researchers who want to study it
At least part of the confusion appears to be rooted in how the term “isolated” is defined. Some insist a virus is not isolated unless it’s also purified, while others say a virus doesn’t have to be purified in order to be “isolated”
Another sticking point for some is whether or not SARS-CoV-2 has ever been isolated from a human subject without passing it through animal cells, as such media could be contaminated and therefore the source of the virus
Researchers have verified that the genetic sequence of the virus obtained from the American Type Culture Collection, a global resource center for reference microorganisms, is an exact match to the virus found in people with symptomatic COVID-19

While some still claim SARS-CoV-2 doesn’t actually exist, this seems to fly in the face of several well-established facts. The virus has actually been photomicrographed,^1,² whole-genome sequences of the various strains are available,^3,⁴ and with the appropriate credentials anyone can obtain the live virus to conduct research.

While I am absolutely no fan of the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, they do grow the virus in cell culture to ensure widespread availability for researchers who want to study it.⁵ Examples of research where you need the actual virus include antiviral research, vaccine development, virus stability research and pathogenesis research.⁶

What’s the Confusion?

At least part of the confusion appears to be rooted in how the term “isolated” is defined. Some insist a virus is not isolated unless it’s also purified, while others say a virus doesn’t have to be purified in order to be “isolated.”

LIVING IN A POTEMKIN WORLD (PART TWO)

In Part One of this article I described the fraudulent world we live in, and postulated we are moving from Huxley’s “soft” dystopia towards Orwell’s boot on the face “hard” dystopia. This pandemic of fear initiated by the Davos crowd over the last two years is following the path I have laid out.

“Political language is designed to make lies sound truthful and murder respectable, and to give an appearance of solidity to pure wind.” – George Orwell

All the examples of truth suppression and silence regarding the truth pale in comparison to the massive conspiracy of silence related to this build back better pandemic scheme. From the outset, when ZeroHedge and a few other alternative media outlets postulated the virus had escaped from the Wuhan bio-weapon lab, a conspiracy of silence was initiated to cover-up the facts. Twitter crushed anyone who put forth this possibility and suspended ZeroHedge from posting for months.

Why the cover-up to protect the communist party of China? As usual, it’s about the money. These media companies, universities, politicians, mega-corporations, Biden and Fauci are all bought off by China. The lies and misinformation continue to this day, as China’s control of major players within our government, media, academia, and corporate America is deep and broad based.

Two predictions – one from a skeptic, the other the vaccine-loving conventional wisdom.

Guest Post by Alex Berenson

Call it a natural experiment.

For 18 months, Covid has made fools of anyone who dares to predict its course. Neil Ferguson of Imperial College managed to be completely wrong in both directions in barely a week in March 2020 – keeping his perfect record of failure intact.

I’ve been wrong too, as the bluechecks on Twitter never tired of reminding me. We’ve all been wrong. The future is hard to predict.

But when it comes to vaccines, the stakes of these predictions are particularly high. If last 18 months have proven anything, it’s that virus gonna virus. Our interventions may marginally change the course of the epidemic, for better or worse. But over time, everyone will be exposed to Covid.

The vaccines change that equation. Vaccines – particularly the mRNA and DNA/AAV vaccines – are not masks or “social distancing.” They aren’t feel-good but useless interventions. They are incredibly powerful biological tools, even if our public health authorities have spent the last year portraying them as simple and largely risk-free.

And they don’t just work on us.

They have the power to drive the evolution of Sars-Cov-2. A “perfect” or “sterilizing” vaccine would all-but-eliminate the coronavirus in the wild. The virus would not have enough chances to reproduce to escape the vaccine’s power to stimulate our immune systems. This power is why we don’t have to reformulate most other vaccines regularly.

But – like flu vaccines – the coronavirus vaccines are the opposite of sterilizing. They are “leaky.” They do not keep vaccinated people from being infected or passing Sars-Cov-2 to other people.

And along the way they drive the virus to mutate away from the protection they offer. This problem is particularly serious for the mRNA Covid vaccines, which cause the immune system to be focused not just on the spike protein but one particular part of the spike protein, the “receptor binding domain.”

At its most dangerous, this process may result in “antibody-dependent enhancement.” ADE occurs when a virus mutates so that vaccine-generated antibodies actually help it attach to its targets on our cells. ADE is – fortunately – infrequent. For it to occur, the virus must change shape in a very specific way, so most mutations will not drive it.

But even if full-blown ADE does not occur, vaccines will exert “selective pressure” on viruses to mutate against them. For example, studies have shown that the Delta variant replicates more rapidly than other Sars-Cov-2 variants (for reasons scientists still do not completely understand).

SOURCE: https://www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1101/2021.07.07.21260122v2

Speed of replication may be a particular advantage for a virus trying to defeat a vaccinated population – since vaccines are designed give the immune system a head start on finding and defeating pathogens.

The broader issue is this: our immune systems are engaged in an incredibly complex race with viruses and other pathogens. The effect of leaky vaccines can make the outcome of that race even harder to understand, much less predict.

But we know for certain that worldwide mass vaccination campaigns in 2021 have coincided with the rise of the Delta variant, which has nearly completely replaced all other Sars-Cov-2 variants. The Delta variant does not seem to be more dangerous than other variants (notwithstanding anecdotal evidence from the United States about young people dying, the hard data from Britain and Israel does not show higher mortality rates). But it does appear to be more transmissible, which all by itself can cause problems for health-care systems.

So what’s next?

The public health establishment – the same public-health establishment that said we would get to herd immunity if we could reach 70 or 80 percent adult vaccination levels (that’s what they said, and don’t let them pretend they didn’t) – is now promising that if we just vaccinate kids and give boosters to the adult population, we will essentially defeat Covid. I’m not exaggerating. An NPR article yesterday was headlined:

Is The Worst Over? Modelers Predict A Steady Decline In COVID Cases Through March

And contained this happy graphic:

Of course, this happy news results from the miracle of vaccinations: “Getting everyone who is eligible vaccinated is still key to preventing further deaths,” NPR writes.

And then there’s the bear case. Bearish for humanity, bullish for the virus, I suppose.

As the Substacker who calls himself Eugyppius – I’ve mentioned him before – explained:

[After the vaccines] then it was Corona’s move, and Delta is the hand it played.

Nothing about how the pandemic plays out now can be disentangled from the vaccination campaign. The more aggressive spread of Delta among the unvaccinated is as much a part of this campaign, as its continued spread among the vaccinated. We have totally changed the environment in which SARS-2 circulates, and in response SARS-2 has become more aggressive across the board.

Eugyppius fears – and I fear he is right – that our current vaccination scheme will drive the rise of more virulent variants.

The vaccine fanatics will argue that the answer is 100 percent vaccination (certainly in the high 90s). But it is hard to see how the United States and other democratic societies can reach those vaccine levels without becoming unrecognizable to themselves. And even if they somehow could, the mRNA vaccines will continue to fail within months.

Near the end of his Stack, Eugyppius offers this warning:

Third and probably even fourth doses will be administered widely in the coming months. Delta-specific vaccines are also in the works. All of these will increase pressure on the virus, very likely in the same direction. These vaccinations will favour more transmissible, more pathogenic strains…

Sounds like a fun winter!

And so the fighters have entered the ring. In one corner, the public health establishment, the best n’ the brightest, with beautifully mapped predictions relayed to you by the sonorous voices of NPR – National Public Radio, whose very name screams trust us.

On the other, a guy who goes by the name of a dead monk.

My money (and the last 18 months) are on the dead monk.

I hope like hell I’m wrong.

THEY WILL REAP WHAT THEY SOWED

“Do not be deceived: God cannot be mocked. A man reaps what he sows. The one who sows to please his sinful nature, from that nature will reap destruction; the one who sows to please the Spirit, from the Spirit will reap eternal life. Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up.” – Galations 6

“I have certain rules I live by. My first rule: I don’t believe anything the government tells me. Sooner or later the people in this country are going to realize: the government does not give a fuck about them. The government doesn’t care about you, or your children, or your rights, or your welfare, or your safety. It simply doesn’t give a fuck about you. It’s interested in its own power. That’s the only thing keeping it and expanding it wherever possible.” – George Carlin

In a previous article – Cascade of Consequences – I attempted to make the case the ruthless billionaire oligarchs and their bought off lackey whores in government, media, academia, corporations, the military industrial complex, sickcare industry, and Federal Reserve have used this engineered covid pandemia to further consolidate and expand their wealth, power and control over a frightened, willfully ignorant, compliant populace. In the month since that article the “powers that be” have ramped up the fear, increased their coercive mandates, reinstated mask mandates, and instituted vaccine passports in liberal bastion cities across America.

I see these ham-handed authoritarian dictates as a sign of weakness and their false narrative falling apart. A sense of desperation wafts from the halls of power in DC, corporate executive suites, and left-wing media outlets on the coasts who have overplayed their tyrannical hand. Resistance is building among an irate minority of critical thinking individuals who follow George Carlin’s first rule.

THE DELTA SCAM

“This work was strictly voluntary, but any animal who absented himself from it would have his rations reduced by half.” ― George Orwell, Animal Farm

“There are three types of lies — lies, damn lies, and statistics.” ― Benjamin Disraeli

It’s amazing how you can lie with statistics when you don’t provide context and/or leave key information out of your false narrative. As of July 4, the entire covid fear narrative was dying out, with cases crashing to new lows and the Big Pharma vaccine profit machine sputtering. That is when those controlling the media narrative began running the stories about the Indian variant and the imminent tragedy. As cases soared over 350,000 per day, the MSM was predicting bodies piling up in the streets.

They failed to give context that India has 1.4 billion people, four times the population of the U.S. On a cases per million basis, India’s surge was still 70% lower than the U.S. peak in January. And then the cases collapsed by 75% in a matter of weeks, with no mass rollout of vaccines. But they did distribute copious amounts of ivermectin. Must just be a coincidence. Everyone knows ivermectin is only for cows and horses, per the “experts” at the FDA.

With the Indian case collapse, the purveyors of fear needed to give the Indian variant a new scary name – Delta Variant. So India, with a 10% vaccination rate has seen a complete collapse in cases. Meanwhile, the UK and Israel, with some of the highest vaccination rates in the world, 64% and 60% respectively, have seen huge surges in Delta cases. It’s almost as if the vaccines have created the Delta surge. You might even conclude the vaccines are a complete and utter failure, with significant numbers of adverse reactions, 5 months of limited efficacy, and unknown long-term health effects.

The U.S. “surge” began shortly after July 4th, with the MSM building the Delta fear narrative day after day. Biden, Fauci, Walensky and the rest of the Big Pharma whores did their daily duty of feeding bullshit to the sheep. They bribed corporations, universities and left wing governors to mandate the jab, since they couldn’t mandate it Federally.

The mask theater opened again. To hell with the fact that masks have done absolutely nothing to slow or stop the spread of this virus. As they began reporting the case totals again, despite the fact the PCR test was already completely discredited, with the FDA pulling its EUA and taking it off the market as of 12/31, I noticed what they were not reporting – number of tests.

The number of reported cases in the U.S. went up by 750% since July 4. Coincidentally, the number of tests grew by over 500% since July 4. Why the tremendous increase in testing? If you want more cases, just do more mass testing of people showing no signs of illness. This is why the death rate is 65% lower than when cases were at the same level in February.

A critically thinking individual might look at the data and conclude these vaccines are enhancing the virus and creating the variants. They might also conclude the Delta variant is far less lethal than the original virus. They might also conclude the unholy alliance between the government, mass media, social media, and Big Pharma have ramped up the fear in order to force vaccinations into the veins of vaxx resisters, instilling vaccine passports, and attempting to install a digital surveillance system to track those who resist and destroy their lives.

A critical thinking person might wonder why such coercive measures are being used to inject an experimental gene therapy into our bodies for a relatively non-lethal virus with a 99.7% survival rate. Especially, when it is now beyond a doubt the jab doesn’t keep you from contracting the virus, spreading the virus, or dying from the virus. At best, it is a therapy that may reduce the symptoms for some people. At worst, ADE (antibody-dependent enhancement) will begin to rear its ugly head in the Fall.

The current all hands on deck campaign to discredit ivermectin is a sign of desperation, as they have only been able to coerce and scare just over 50% of the population to have this Big Pharma concoction injected into their bodies. With cases peaking at 155,000 per day, the desperation of Fauci and his acolytes is visible for all to see.

I submitted my strongly worded religious exemption to my employer this morning. I should know within a week whether they will honor it. If they deny it, the ball will be in their court, because I will never have that shit injected into my body. They can terminate me and I will be unbowed. They cannot force me to contaminate my body. I’m a free man and will not take the knee. I will not comply. Resistance is not futile. I hope enough of my countrymen will join me in choosing freedom over servitude.

“If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, go home from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that ye were our countrymen.” ― Samuel Adams
