@dan_gadd@jeremyrhammond@SanjoyMahajan2@SaladinKathy@KenNevering Yes. It is circular reasoning. They just ASSUME a 'viral genome' WILL be found in an 'infected' sample. And they just ASSUME that a 'viral genome' WILL NOT be found in an 'uninfected' sample. But they NEVER check to see if it's true. It's pathetic, anti-scientific and very sad.
@dan_gadd@jeremyrhammond@SanjoyMahajan2@SaladinKathy@KenNevering You've hit the nail squarely on the head there, Dan. ๐They are the control experiments that are NEVER done. And they are also the control experiments that virologists NEVER want to do. I wonder why? ๐ค
@jeremyrhammond@SanjoyMahajan2@SaladinKathy@KenNevering (2.) so called 'non-infected' host. They also routinely leave out Abam (which can cause CPE) from their so-called 'negative controls'. The 'controls' they use are not capable of determining exactly what is causing the CPE. They are at best meaningless and at worst fraudulent.
@jeremyrhammond@SanjoyMahajan2@SaladinKathy@KenNevering (1.) Nobody is saying that scientists don't use 'controls' when doing cell culture. What they are saying is that the 'controls' that the scientists do are not scientifically valid and are therefore completelty meaningless. Such as 'mock infections' without an inoculant from a
@Burki677@sense_strand@claushetting Hi Burki. Before I reply, just to make sure we understand each other properly, could you please give me your definition of exactly what "mock-infected cells" are as described in the screenshot below? (I know that may sound silly, but there is a reason I am asking it.)
@Burki677@sense_strand@claushetting Just in case the transcode of the video cuts off just before the end. The last three words of the video are "Virology is dead". ๐
@Burki677@sense_strand@claushetting If you watch this seven and a half minute video: https://t.co/Sj5IvTC6tF And then read the full scientific paper here: https://t.co/TLqgIQMfvN You will learn what is really happening in 'viral' cell cultures.
@Burki677@sense_strand@claushetting Great. OK. It's Abam. Please see the attached picture for an explanation about Abam. And also an explanation about cell starvation. Now, what would you like next? A detailed answer to your CPE question? Or some OBVIOUS reasons why virology doesn't follow the scientific method? ๐
@Burki677@sense_strand@claushetting I said, in negative controls, as well as leaving out the inoculant, which you say contains the 'virus', they typically leave out SOMETHING ELSE AS WELL. You need to know what that is BEFORE I CAN ANSWER YOUR QUESTION about the CPE. Do you want me to tell you what it is?
@Burki677@sense_strand@claushetting (3.) to, we can try this. If you think I have a mental illness. Or think I am just a 'denialist'. Or think anything else bad about me. Then just humor me for a while. Then, if I turn out to be wrong, you can make me look really stupid. Do we have a deal? ๐
@Burki677@sense_strand@claushetting They don't usually mention in the papers about the 'not necessary' something else they usually either leave out or reduce in the controls. You tell me what it is and, in my very next Tweet, I will tell you what created the CPE in 24 hours.
@Burki677@sense_strand@claushetting Oh yes. I know what a negative control is. Why did you ignore my question in my previous Tweet. Don't you know the answer?
