Proton Goes to the Virus Circus🎪
Your chance to learn how to read virology articles
My jaunt to the circus began when asked for my opinion on a comment by on the sagehana substack claiming this paper showed that "coronavirus was first fully characterized outside of China when it arrived close to where I live [in Australia]”. I jumped at a chance to prove the no-virus people wrong but ended up at a 5-ring circus:
The known: By 12 March 2020, 140 cases of COVID-19 (the illness caused by SARS-CoV-2) had been confirmed in Australia; three patients had died. At the end of January, the sequence of the virus had been shared but no laboratory outside China had grown the virus or had access to live virus.
👉Program the reader: in the first sentence mention illness and death and “virus” 5 times, and that all of this is “known”.
📢Now I will prove to you it is NOT HARD to read a virology article. You may have to look up some words and web sites about companies and processes but if I can do it so can you!
A 58-year old patient had type 2 diabetes, ground glass lung opacities, and hepatic steatosis with liver function test abnormalities.
A thoracic computed tomography scan on admission day four identified extensive ground glass opacities with a peribronchovascular and peripheral distribution in the middle to upper zones of the lungs
PCR testing for SARS‐CoV‐2 was performed on material from the patient.
👉This means the pcr primers based on the initial "Genome" made by computer software assembly (mainly based on Fan Wu and 2 other studies, i.e., hypothetical sequences) were used on mixed patient material. These primer sequences were not made from an isolated and purified virus particle. The mixed, patient's sample means there are innumerable bits of genetic material from the patient and any other organisms living in the patient.
📢Pearl #1: Outputs from computers are not biological objects no matter what anyone says!
PCR products underwent in house Sanger sequencing, which confirmed the presence of SARS‐CoV‐2.
👉This means the PCR PRODUCTS underwent direct sequencing, not direct sequencing of an isolated virus. [A little circular “science”?]
👉If you are confused why the “viral load” seems to be going up in the cell culture (“Box 4” in the paper), it is because this is a LOAD OF SHIT. Sorry for my bad words. This just means that whatever genetic material the PCR is amplifying is increasing. So when the cell culture breaks apart the cells release their contents and genetic material comes out. Also, inflammatory reactions to the dying cells can increase genetic material as more RNA is needed to make inflammatory proteins and enzymes and all this stuff can come out as cells break apart, exosomes with genetic material can be released and break up, etc. There are 8 ways from Sunday to trick you in these papers.
Material from the initial nasopharyngeal swab was used to inoculate a Vero/hSLAM cell line…flasks were monitored for the development of viral cytopathic effect [cpe] and 140 μL aliquots removed every 48 hours to assess virus burden by real time RT‐PCR.
👉This means mixed material from the patient was the independent variable for cpe, not a confirmed virus.
For electron microscopy, supernatant from cell cultures grown in the presence of 4 μg/mL trypsin and clarified by centrifugation at 1000g for 3 min.
👉A supernatant is still a mix of many materials from the Vero (monkey kidney) cells and the patient. Trypsin is known to cut out membranes leaving holes like when you walk on the snow and making particles look like they have spikes.
📢Pearl #2: MIXED groups of thugs do not allow you to identify the criminal!
We extracted RNA for whole genome sequencing of the viral isolate. Briefly, RNA was extracted from clarified cell culture supernatant and randomly amplified cDNA prepared by sequence...Sequencing was performed with a combination of Oxford Nanopore Technologies and Illumina short‐read sequencing. Genomic assembly of…
Phylogenetic analysis indicated that the genome sequence of our isolate (BetaCoV/Australia/VIC01/2020) exhibited greater than 99.99% sequence identity with other publicly available SARS-CoV-2 genomes
👉”Extracting RNA” means from the mix of millions of bits of RNA from many sources in the cell-culture supernatant, not from a virus as none was isolated. Sequencing mixed RNA doesn’t tell us anything about a virus. “Illumina read sequencing” is a software (app) alignment against a “reference genome”.
but what is the provenance of the reference? Did it come directly from a virus? Simply, I can just tell you that no prior corona virus has ever been isolated and thus never directly sequenced, so the talk about homology is well, just talk about computer libraries of never-found viruses. Sure the library exists on a silicon chip, you can even print it out. I can put Godzilla on a chip and print her out too.
👉Scroll down a little here to “Have any human corona viruses been isolated?” At the top of the file you can also see that the PCR primers are related to genetic material from a multitude of creatures (sequences can be referenced to a genetic library by doing something called a BLAST analysis).
📢Pearl #3: Data (not a thing), cannot be related to something never found before and no amount of séance of any kind will bring it to life. 💡now you are the one who has been illuminated💡
👉For a control (Box 3 in the paper). One group was called the “infected” sample, the other the “uninfected” sample. The “infected sample seems to have had visible cpe but not the “uninfected” sample. But at what stage did they confirm there was an infection? Ground-glass opacities can have many causes.
-this all assumes both groups’ cell cultures were treated with the same conditions and additives besides the patient sample-Cell culture methods here.
🙋♂️You can see my high school student raise his hand saying, “But prof, couldn’t the so-called “infected” sample have had lots of toxic stuff from the patient with all those illnesses he had, like pollutants from Wuhan, or ammonia derivatives from his liver problems?”💡💡💡💡💡
📢Pearl #4: The word “infection” doesn’t mean there is a germ without proof, and mixed samples can’t test for much of anything in a cell culture.
Now that you know how to read virology papers you can write them next time so I can go sip Pina Coladas at the pool and read your posts in 5-min instead of the 3-hrs it takes to write these. Give me the good life guys!
Funding of the paper was thru the National Health and Medical Research Council (NHMRC) and the Australian Partnership for Preparedness Research in Infectious Diseases Emergencies (APPRISE), an NHMRC-funded Centre for Research Excellence.
You can see that APPRISE is deeply connected to the WHO and other infection-pushing and preparedness bodies we all love.
How can you NOT find a virus when your funding depends on it?
Finally, introducing the 5-Ring Circus: drum roll please….rat tat tat, rat tat tat…..
Ring 1: The Pcr Monkees sing “I’m a believer” on cycle.
Ring 2: Illumina The Genetic Contortionist breaks every joint during the show and gets booed, “You’re just another Theranos cat in a fishbowl!”
Ring 3: The Homology twins can’t find harmony with past corona viruses. Seems none have ever been found.
Ring 4: Bozo the Cytopath lies thru his make-up and has to admit the “infected sample” was never proven to be infected and was in fact full of other toxins.
Ring 5: The E-M Morphology Midgets are outed for wearing wigs that fake spikes during the show.

Virus paper debunking is almost as much fun as the circus
In recognition of Proton Magic's relentless pursuit to unveil the fraud of viro Lie gy, I have composed a few lines of verse in his honor:
Ode to Hawkish for Truth
Amid dawn’s first light, the hawk leaves his nest,
Roaming the skies, for the Germ Theory pest.
He can’t return empty-taloned, young minds to feed,
Bad news for Sagehana, it was his time to bleed.
From crooked CDC peaks, to the murky UKHSA *valley below,
He circles the shadows, where hidden lies grow.
Circling on high, all their deceptions he sees,
His lightning dives, catching prey with ease.
“Virology’s” lies stalk with, a sly, dark grin,
Until the hawk stoops, and his talons rip in.
The hunt for truth, Proton never flees,
His powerful talons bring, viro Lie gy to its knees.
The target caught, the hawk grips its prey,
Home flight to Substack, he's soaring our way.
In that nest high above, young hungry minds wait,
Eager for knowledge, to satiate.
Answers from research flesh, his beak carefully tears,
Feeding hungry minds, with the truth it bears.
Each shred of flesh, a revelation untold,
Nourishing our minds, with wisdom of gold.
For in the nest of science, hungry children yearn,
To learn, to grow, to question and discern.
With each morsel devoured, we’re filled with delight,
Feasting on truths revealed, from the hawk’s research flight.
So, let us honour, sing his praise,
This noble hawk, whose steady gaze,
Protects the light, as the flying sleuth,
Beware, deceivers, proton's hawkish for truth.
* Feel free to substitute valley with swamp depending on how you regard the UKHSA, formerly Public Hellth England. Shithole works, too 😀😀
Utterly brilliant! The virus proponents duck and dodge but never come straight forward. If They did, it would be oh so clear that They are empty-handed. So glad to have the opportunity to witness the fun You're having!!!
