Statement On Virus Isolation (SOVI)
Since August 2020* Principia Scientific International has been among the forefront of organisations questioning the official narrative of whether the SARS-CoV-2 virus, allegedly the cause of the COVID19 pandemic, can be proven to exist in empirical science.
We see that no lab has successfully isolated the ‘virus’ to establish a gold standard. The following is an important Statement On Virus Isolation (SOVI) by Dr Andrew Kaufman MD et al. that addresses these concerns in depth.
Isolation: The action of isolating; the fact or condition of being isolated or standing alone; separation from other things or persons; solitariness.
The controversy over whether the SARS-CoV-2 virus has ever been isolated or purified continues. However, using the above definition, common sense, the laws of logic and the dictates of science, any unbiased person must come to the conclusion that the SARS-CoV-2 virus has never been isolated or purified. As a result, no confirmation of the virus’ existence can be found. The logical, common sense, and scientific consequences of this fact are:
- the structure and composition of something not shown to exist can’t be known, including the presence, structure, and function of any hypothetical spike or other proteins;
- the genetic sequence of something that has never been found can’t be known;
- “variants” of something that hasn’t been shown to exist can’t be known;
- it’s impossible to demonstrate that SARS-CoV-2 causes a disease called Covid-19.
In as concise terms as possible, here’s the proper way to isolate, characterize and demonstrate a new virus. First, one takes samples (blood, sputum, secretions) from many people (e.g. 500) with symptoms which are unique and specific enough to characterize an illness. Without mixing these samples with ANY tissue or products that also contain genetic material, the virologist macerates, filters and ultracentrifuges i.e. purifies the specimen. This common virology technique, done for decades to isolate bacteriophages1 and so-called giant viruses in every virology lab, then allows the virologist to demonstrate with electron microscopy thousands of identically sized and shaped particles. These particles are the isolated and purified virus.
These identical particles are then checked for uniformity by physical and/or microscopic techniques. Once the purity is determined, the particles may be further characterized. This would include examining the structure, morphology, and chemical composition of the particles. Next, their genetic makeup is characterized by extracting the genetic material directly from the purified particles and using genetic-sequencing techniques, such as Sanger sequencing, that have also been around for decades. Then one does an analysis to confirm that these uniform particles are exogenous (outside) in origin as a virus is conceptualized to be, and not the normal breakdown products of dead and dying tissues.2 (As of May 2020, we know that virologists have no way to determine whether the particles they’re seeing are viruses or just normal break-down products of dead and dying tissues.)3

3 “The Role of Extracellular Vesicles as Allies of HIV, HCV and SARS Viruses,” Flavia Giannessi, et al, Viruses, 2020 May
If we have come this far then we have fully isolated, characterized, and genetically sequenced an exogenous virus particle. However, we still have to show it is causally related to a disease. This is carried out by exposing a group of healthy subjects (animals are usually used) to this isolated, purified virus in the manner in which the disease is thought to be transmitted. If the animals get sick with the same disease, as confirmed by clinical and autopsy findings, one has now shown that the virus actually causes a disease. This demonstrates infectivity and transmission of an infectious agent.
None of these steps has even been attempted with the SARS-CoV-2 virus, nor have all these steps been successfully performed for any so-called pathogenic virus. Our research indicates that a single study showing these steps does not exist in the medical literature.
Instead, since 1954, virologists have taken unpurified samples from a relatively few people, often less than ten, with a similar disease. They then minimally process this sample and inoculate this unpurified sample onto tissue culture containing usually four to six other types of material — all of which contain identical genetic material as to what is called a “virus.” The tissue culture is starved and poisoned and naturally disintegrates into many types of particles, some of which contain genetic material. Against all common sense, logic, use of the English language and scientific integrity, this process is called “virus isolation.” This brew containing fragments of genetic material from many sources is then subjected to genetic analysis, which then creates in a computer-simulation process the alleged sequence of the alleged virus, a so called in silico genome. At no time is an actual virus confirmed by electron microscopy. At no time is a genome extracted and sequenced from an actual virus. This is scientific fraud.
The observation that the unpurified specimen — inoculated onto tissue culture along with toxic antibiotics, bovine fetal tissue, amniotic fluid and other tissues — destroys the kidney tissue onto which it is inoculated is given as evidence of the virus’ existence and pathogenicity. This is scientific fraud.
From now on, when anyone gives you a paper that suggests the SARS-CoV-2 virus has been isolated, please check the methods sections. If the researchers used Vero cells or any other culture method, you know that their process was not isolation. You will hear the following excuses for why actual isolation isn’t done:
- There were not enough virus particles found in samples from patients to analyze.
- Viruses are intracellular parasites; they can’t be found outside the cell in this manner.
If No. 1 is correct, and we can’t find the virus in the sputum of sick people, then on what evidence do we think the virus is dangerous or even lethal? If No. 2 is correct, then how is the virus spread from person to person? We are told it emerges from the cell to infect others. Then why isn’t it possible to find it?
Finally, questioning these virology techniques and conclusions is not some distraction or divisive issue. Shining the light on this truth is essential to stop this terrible fraud that humanity is confronting. For, as we now know, if the virus has never been isolated, sequenced or shown to cause illness, if the virus is imaginary, then why are we wearing masks, social distancing and putting the whole world into prison?
Finally, if pathogenic viruses don’t exist, then what is going into those injectable devices erroneously called “vaccines,” and what is their purpose? This scientific question is the most urgent and relevant one of our time.
We are correct. The SARS-CoV2 virus does not exist.

Thank you, John, for publishing this critical information.
I reached the same conclusion, i.e. SARS-CoV-2 virus does not exist as described in my articles published by PSI as well.

Hi Saeed,
There is one thing we have to consider: It isn’t difficult to lie in response to our FOI requests if these are, well, “too constraining,” sort of. If we ask rather modest questions about to what degree they managed the isolation to give them the impression of this or that, and what procedures are involved in identifying the so called VOC (variants of concern) may be a better approach.
We have to realize that they may not be at all interested in identifying any specific virus and even less so its association to a declared disease, all they want is a tangible “pandemic” and the less clarity and substance to it the better. And the same goes for the so called vaccines…
Cheers, JaKo

Dear JaKo:
I understand and respect your suggestion. However, the problem is that you are asking a person or authority in control to correct itself or be honest with its practice. What are the chances of you being successful?
I have submitted a US FDA Citizen Petition for withdrawing (dissolution) testers from regulatory requirements because the testers are non-validated. It has messed up the science and practice of product quality assessments. Two a half years have passed by, but no review and response is still pending. With my interactions with the agency while working with Health Canada, I know that they know that testers are invalid (never been validated), but why accept the reality or respond (http://www.drug-dissolution-testing.com/?p=3217).
If someone outside (e.g., industry) were doing something like this (using an invalid test), the agency would have shut the company down within 24 hours. A recent example is Theranos, a 10 billion dollar company going under within a very short period (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Theranos).
However, the agency does not have to respond to anyone and keep using and promoting its recommendation of scientifically invalid tests and testers.
However, we should continue our efforts to highlight the issue. This is what we have been doing. I hope that things will change for the better, perhaps sooner than later. I believe that the pandemic catastrophe will shake things up soon once the dust starts to settle. Some “scientific disciplines” along with their associated experts and authorities will disappear like Theranos.
Best!

Thank you for this detailed and clear explanation.
Your penultimate sentence is the most frightening aspect of this whole situation.

Thank you, Principia Scientific, for having enough common sense as well, as guts, to provide the platform (your website) and allow honest scientists and doctors to question the paradigm and seek the truth (I acknowledge that the “truth” is imaginary “object”, perceived by individual based on the state of his/her consciousness and conscience).

How does anybody not familiar with this know what to believe? Even experts cannot know what has gone on in laboratories around the world. We have seen PSI articles with Freedom of Information requests stating the virus has not been isolated, but anything can be faked these days. We saw reports that a laboratory in California had only found Influenza A and B in samples said to have been tested for Covid19, but the laboratory was not named and there is nothing published in medical journals about this work.
It is true that any unbiased person should accept the initial statement in this article if the virus has not been isolated. However, they will then ask – if it is not SARS-CoV-2 then what has every government been responding to, and what has every hospital been treating? Surely it is not possible for a fraud on this scale to be carried out.
The issues in this article need to be raised, but it is not the first time. There has been no response, and I suspect it is unlikely that there will be. Considering the rush to be vaccinated it seems that a majority of the world population believes the virus is real, and the vaccine will protect them. Therefore, no government is going to listen to the signatories of this article.
What makes me suspicious is that we do not have vaccines have been produced using weakened or killed forms of the claimed virus. The reasons given were that it would take too long to develop. I also saw the lead scientist working on the Oxford vaccine saying that they received the genome from China and developed their vaccine within days. Which means to me that they did not have a sample of the virus and they trusted China, of all countries to give them a valid genome. Also, as stated above how are countries able to identify all the mutations?

If a pathogen cannot be purified, isolated and identified (and passing the Koch’s postulate test) then there is no sample to even work with. This critical procedure has not been done because viruses have not even been shown to exist but are really just cellular debris and protein particles. On top of that insurmountable hurdle is the fact that germs (and imaginary viruses) have never been shown to transmit from one host to another. The famed con man Pasteur only “achieved transmission” by spiking all of his “pathogenic” concoctions with poisons, usually mercury or arsenic.

“Surely it is not possible for a fraud on this scale to be carried out”.
Yes it is. The cabal-controlled United Nations (WHO, IPCC, etc.) specialises in fraud. Please see the following 2 brief items on the climate fraud, 5 minutes each.

When one looks into it, almost everything we’ve been told from birth is untrue.

I’m not sure what to think. I just watched an over two hour video where Dr. Richard Fleming says the virus does exist and came from the bio lab in Wuhan. This article says it has not been proven to exist. I’m glad PSI made them both available but I am confused as to the truth.

How was that line: “… the truth? You want the truth? You can’t handle the truth!”
How true — when one analyzes the publicly available data, simple observed facts and the most seemingly truthful statements of the few honorable people involved — one can’t arrive to a simple “truth.” That, I’m afraid, is the real “new normal” = we can’t have the truth.
When I contemplate how nasty, heartless and evil the leadership and the “experts” of so many countries, states, provinces, companies & organizations became, I’d rather accept an Alien influence over them than I’d recognize the ‘pure unalloyed evil’ they present.
Sorry, JaKo

Terry, you are not the only one – i’ve watched the (very long) video of Dr. fleming showing the corona virus.
honestly, i too believed that koch’s postulate/rivers – had not been shown to prove a virus – but then i get Dr. fleming showing the corona! and saying they don’t do the ‘victorian’ style kochs postulate anymore… that there is more advanced methods.
i can only think that this image of the corona is some pathogen they call a ‘virus’ but maybe they cannot prove it is?
but that the spike on this ‘virus’ has been messed with.
but yes, totally not sure what to believe at the moment!

If the fake virus had come from the Wuhan lab or any other lab then the Rockefeller CDC and the Gates WHO would have the entire genetic sequence (a sample that would meet the River’s criteria). They don’t. Viruses have not even been shown to exist. The so called “spike protein” is just another fabrication because they cannot prove that either. All of this is just cover for the injection of more poisons.
Wuhan is used for 2 reasons. First it was the best place to start because the Chinese livestock are easier to lockdown as a demonstration for the goyim in the west and it generates more western animosity against the Chinese which is part of the Zionist agenda in preparation for the planned WW3.

So then, guys, I get that this excellent article is querying the existence specifically of the planned panic demic bug, but sense there is background of scepticism that any viruses exist at all? Apologies if incorrect but – after 40 years in the medical trenches observing and treating “viral infections” that do seem to be transmissible; have similar signs and symptoms in affected people that seem to allow recognition of a particular clinical “expression” of an illness eg highly specific rashes, incubation and infectivity periods, similar coughs, which lymph glands may swell, times to recovery, sequelae etc; do manifest an immune response with fever, inflammation etc; do often respond to highly specific antiviral drugs ( I’m thinking here of aciclovir et al for HSV infections – systemic and cutaneous, and the recent proof of antiparasitics reducing deaths in “SARS Cov-2” etc ); and after which natural lifelong immunity is often achieved, then what the heck more do we clinicians need, to be satisfied with the generally understood place of tiny infectious agents, whatever you want to call them, in human – and animal – disease. If viruses are just exosomes, then what causes the diseases? To me, these highly specific clinical patterns rule out these presentations as just random responses to environmental challenges, nutrient deficicences and toxicities, spiritual or emotional distress – though I have no doubt all these factors impact on vulnerability. If we can’t easily culture them as your excellent article discusses, does that rule out their existence, and what alternative explanation might their be for patterns of viral illness? Not withstanding the current scary movie playing to the world?

I have a habit, perhaps share with many others, that when I write something, and no matter how many times I proofread, I seem to skip errors such as missing words, grammatically unbalanced verbs, question marks, etc.
With due respect, Matt, this is what has happened or is happening in the clinicians’ observations. They describe in full and with intricate details the observed symptoms, their appearance, spread, and disappearance, as you have. Then link them to the existence as a physical thing. For example, noting from your post
“… what the heck more do we clinicians need, to be satisfied with the generally understood place of tiny infectious agents, whatever you want to call them, in human – and animal – disease.”
This is where the skipping part is, “tiny infectious agents.”, please get them out, see them, and “feel” the “tiny agents” not with pictures but by scientifically extracting and isolating them.
That is what I would consider a scientific-based approach. Would you not like to see this, or just want to practice based on the observations and not science?
Please seek the isolation of the “tiny thing”; otherwise, the illness will remain non-existent or misdiagnosed. So does the test (PCR), and its outcome will remain invalid and irrelevant.

I still find it very interesting that so much of this virus’s symptoms chime so well with flu, in particular the 2nd wave of the 1918 flu pandemic. As shown in https://www.lrb.co.uk/the-paper/v40/n02/gavin-francis/the-untreatable
Of particular note to the topic of this thread, is where this article says –
Also of note is the comment section, were it says
A search finds many reports on the Sykes cadaver and the reason given for its exhumation. e.g. “Sir Mark Sykes was exhumed to study the RNA of the Spanish flu virus in efforts to understand the genetic structure of modern H5N1 bird flu. Sykes had been buried in 1919 in a lead coffin which scientists hope will have helped preserve the virus.”
However having searched for an hour or so, I have not been able to find who has (or had) these 17 samples and where/what has become of them.

This reminds me of how climatologists use bubbles in ice cores and tree rings to “verify” the existence of human caused global warming. Or how meteorologists use evidence of updrafts and gusty winds to “verify” the existence of convection, dry layer capping, and latent energy of condensation.
