Coronavirus: How a Rational CDC Scientist Would Think, if One Existed
March 13, 2020 [Note: The day America ‘locked down’.]
In a recent article, I explained why the diagnostic test for the coronavirus in a patient is worthless and unreliable. The implications of that fact are enormous.
Here, I want to make further comments on fake science.
A rational researcher, at the CDC, if one existed, would say, upon hearing of a possible outbreak in the city of Wuhan: “Let’s see the proof that a new virus is responsible, is the causative agent.”
What kind of proof would he be asking for?
First, he would want to know, “Do researchers there have an actual biological specimen of this new virus? Do they have the real thing?”
And if the answer came back yes, he would reply, “We’re sending in one of our Wuhan people so he can confirm that.”
But how would the confirmation work? You can’t just lay a specimen of a virus on a table and shine a light on it. It’s far too small to see.
There is a traditional method of observation. It’s called an electron microscope photograph (an EM). Certain established procedures exist for obtaining an EM from a patient’s tissue sample. The CDC scientist would want to make sure the Chinese scientists had carried out this process correctly.
He would say, “Let’s have a look at the Chinese EM.” He wants to confirm there are many identical particles of the new virus in the EM. Let’s buck the odds and imagine he does confirm it. So far, so good.
