Don't mistake me. I said there was substantial evidence that SARS-cov-2, the virus that has been tied to the symptoms of of the sickness covid-19, has been isolated.
That doesn't make it true. It just means that, with no preconceptions or opinions on it one way or another, after having done research on the topic, I found credible evidence that it had been isolated in many labs.
Further, upon looking into claims that it had not been isolated, I found no credible claims, several not credible claims, and claims that dated over a year ago, when our collective knowledge was almost zero and it may have been true at that time.
In this case "credible" evidence is scientific papers and/or sources with other work that has been credible in the past, and/or the other things that they say show they understand what they are talking about to my satisfaction, someone who does research in a related field.
I have not vetted their claims beyond that. Take my word as educated due diligence into the topic, nothing more. In a world of disinformation even the most aware can be deceived. However, the numerous not credible claims are just as damning, if not more, than the numerous credible claims. So in both directions the evidence suggests this SARS virus has been isolated.
