Seeing the Virus Up Close Makes It Difficult to Deny its Existence
The endless frustrations of the SARS-CoV-2 crisis and pandemic response has led some to push back denying existence of the virus altogether. Laboratory methods in virology are well accepted and utilize a series of experiments to demonstrate cellular invasion, replication, transfer and repeated infection. Whole genomic sequencing has aided in identification of variants and subvariants and helped greatly in forecasting what is coming next. The CDC Nowcast system is an excellent application of targeted sequencing of viral samples.[i] Nonetheless, some have said if SARS-CoV-2 cannot be cultured like a bacteria and “isolated” then it does not exist. I have always responded that the principles of laboratory virology, sequencing, and the mass production of viruses such as that done by the Max Planck Institute for Dynamics of Complex Technical Systems are concrete processes that rely on the presence of the virus.[ii] My understanding from the body of medical literature and firsthand clinical experience are consistent with the conclusion that COVID-19 is indeed a unique illness distinguishable from influenza and other viral infections. I have always been impressed with the absence of bacterial superinfection and micro- and macro-thrombosis being features that separate COVID-19 from influenza and other viral syndromes. Calder, et al, at the Francis Crick Institute has gone a step farther with advanced forms of electron microscopy to see the virus up close and personal.[iii]
A picture speaks a thousand words and should help even the most skeptical “viral denier” come onto the rational team that is trying to treat high risk patients, end ridiculous contagion control measures, and bring our world back to normal.
So, the next time someone at a cocktail party says “COVID-19 is a hoax, the virus has never been isolated,” show them some of these works of art!

I'm writing this comment, Dr. McCullough only because I have great respect for your willingness to speak truth as you see it in the face of an establishment that doesn't want to hear it. I really hope you keep going with that attitude, because there's so much more to discover.
The article perfectly demonstrates how totally illogical conclusions and nonsense 'research' is passed off as scientific conclusions.
First, need I remind you that the 'vaccines' that are killing probably millions of people globally, and injuring many times more, are "well accepted" too? And I could make a long list of ideas "well accepted" that are very irrational, but I think you get the point.
The first two sentences are full of condescension, misrepresentation, and factually incorrect assertions. German virologist/microbiologist Dr Stefan Lanka has been exposing the fact that virology is all fraud for almost 30 years, so those who've actually studied the research are hardly motivated by "endless frustrations". And in fact nobody is "denying the existence" of anything. The "denying" allegation is your manipulative spin as a form of mockery. Those of us who've put in the work to go through a century of virology research and fully understand Lanka's conclusions are not denying the existence of anything. What we're saying is that there is no published research to date that demonstrates isolating a 'virus' from a sick person. It is the Rockefeller medicine establishment, which you represent, that's the party claiming there's a SARS-CoV-2 'virus' and "it" is the cause of the new disease. Therefore the burden of proof is on you and Rockefeller medicine, and that burden has not been satisfied. Because a few people have discovered the virology con, and have challenged the supposed proof that the establishment puts forward, we're labeled "virus deniers" as clueless people laugh, everyone assures each other that there's still 'consensus' that there's really a virus making everyone sick, and that's the end of it, in your view. No need to actually, honestly look at the research and answer the tough questions, because there's "consensus". What a profoundly cowardly reality...
Laboratory methods in virology do not "demonstrate cellular invasion, replication, transfer and repeated infection". The claimed 'virus' is only an end product of the culture of dying cells; there is no isolated 'virus' at the beginning, so the assertion of "invasion" is pure imagination. The same 'virus' can be produced with no sick patient sample added at the beginning, which is why the "well accepted" virology lab processes never include true controls. The so-called 'viruses' are exosomes, which you probably know are encapsulated genetic debris from the process of cell death. Virology has simply perfected the methods for reliably producing cell death via added toxins and inducing cell starvation in ways that trigger the release of certain types of exosomes, which are then photographed and touted as proof of 'viruses'.
And if the exosomes are then added to a new cell culture, that also receives the same cocktail of additives that poisons and starves the cultured cells, voila, more exosomes excreted by the dying cells, and 'proof of virus transmission'! No, it's only proof that people are being willfully blind.
Surely, Dr McCullough, you must be aware of Christine Massey's two-and-a-half year FOIA campaign to find the "well accepted" proof of isolation of a SARS-CoV-2 'virus'. With over 200 responses from government health agencies and scientific institutions all over the world, not one can cite any research proof of virus isolation. Their replies do not claim Massey misunderstands what constitutes 'virus isolation'; they simply admit they have no proof of virus isolation. This includes the US CDC.
So the photos you parade here are completely meaningless, utter nonsense, because you have no idea what the photographed particles are or where they came from. Revealingly, the article says nothing about where they came from, not even in the footnotes or references. The article simply asserts that they're SARS-CoV-2 particles without evidence, and you treat it as a scientific conclusion. I'll wager that if you find out where the particles came from, they're lab creations from cultures of dying cells that had no real 'virus' isolated from a sick person added at the beginning.
Which is why you started the article with the "well accepted" theme, and mocking the "virus deniers": because that's all you have, and something deep inside of you knows it.
It will be interesting to see which way you go, Dr. McCullough. You're in an interesting predicament of either conforming to what's "well accepted" in your field (which means telling the public that the 'vaccines' are good for them and everyone should go get boosted today) and keeping your prestigious professional standing, or recognizing that 'the emperor' has no clothes and is a pathological liar, and losing the establishment endorsement deal in order to find the inconvenient truths.
I wish you the best.
Thank you for this evidence.
Further clinical observations that I've seen of COVID being a distinct disease from earlier coronavirus infections mainly consisted of
1) dyspnea with hypoxia of low 80's to low 90's oxygen saturation, and
2) anosmia, sometimes ageusia, of long duration and not correlated with nasal congestion.
People's frustration with the considerable and devastating scam aspects of the COVID era have inspired an unsubstantiated leap of tossing out all knowledge and clinical experiences of all coronaviruses, rhinoviruses, adenoviruses, and even all viruses altogether. That is much too far a leap.
As you so well explained to the world, Dr. McCullough, dilute povidone iodine applied nasally at first symptoms sends the viruses to defeat. I credit you with this on a flyer that I hand out to my patients.
