Electron tomography is an extension of traditional transmission electron microscopy and uses a transmission electron microscope to collect the data. In other words, it's viewing a dead carcass of something. Don't get me wrong, it may be Covid-19, but the CDC admits the virus has not been isolated or quantified. How do you take a tomogram of something not yet found?
The CDC said:
Since no quantified virus isolates of the 2019-nCoV are currently available, [diagnostic tests] were tested with characterized stocks of in vitro transcribed full length RNA.
So they did not say that they have no isolates, but that the isolates they have are not quantified. They tested PCR tests and needed an exact number (=quantified) of virus RNA to compare the runs. It was not possible to count the viruses extracted from a cell culture, so they created virus RNA out of the database of virus samples instead, knowing the exact number of created RNA.
I think you should read the entire Rappaport article. You have raised a good point. My post was a bit 'truncated' and didn't include other CDC statements reported by Rappaport that lends weight to his polemic. Notwithstanding, if you actually believe the CDC is an incorruptible government agency having the best interests of the American people, you simply don't know the CDC's history. It's been 'weaponized' for a very long time. There's simply too much of a history there to avoid being skeptical about their intent.
>"They tested PCR tests and needed an exact number (=quantified) of virus RNA to compare the runs."
I've already addressed the PCR Test. It is incapable of isolating the Covid-19 virus. The inventor of the PCR Test was Dr. Kary B. Mullis, who received a Nobel Prize in Chemistry for this in 1994. In an interview, Dr. Mullis explained:
>“The PCR is NOT to be used for diagnosis.”
He said PCR was NOT to be used for a test (and the leaflet coming with the test even says this!).
Enough said here, I urge you to read the Jon Rappaport article. He has a blog and website, so if, after reading it and you still disagree with his statements, let him know what you think. I read his material and the comment section. I'll most likely see your comment exchange, if you follow through with this.
I actually believe that the CDC is corrupt to the core and does everything possible to maximize the death rate of C19. But I also believe that the "there-is-no-virus" red herring was deliberately seeded to neutralize all anons who normally would have made it impossible for the CDC (and Fau Chi, FDA, WHO, ..) to hide the cures. With early and aggressive treatment (as seen when Trump or Giuliany were treated in just 4 days), the death rate of C19 would be zero.
There are many different PCR tests. To create one, you have to find a short sequence of RNA that is unique for the targeted virus, but can be found in any variant of the virus. Some got it wrong, some got it right. The main problem is the sensitivity, it is adjustable ("rounds") to the point where false positives are inevitable. The FDA has only approved tests with way too many rounds, but that was a political decision and not the fault of the manufacturers.
