With the rise of computing and genetic research in the 90's the virologists go high-tech. They move away from experiments altogether and into genetic modeling - but do the models have any connection to reality?

What's really going on the claim of genetically identifying the SARS-CoV-2 virus is made?

About The Viral Delusion

n 2019, the virologists took center stage, and for the first time on film, their methods, miscues and tragedy they have wrought are put under the spotlight, revealing the extraordinary leaps of fantasy buried in their methodology, the contradictions quietly acknowledged in their papers, their desperate effort to change language to justify their findings, the obvious incongruence of their conclusions and the extraordinary stakes for our entire society in whether we continue to blindly follow their lead into a full-scale war against nature itself.
