Bombshell: Scientist finds no reliable evidence Ebola virus ever isolated from a human beingJon Rappoport You can read Rasnicks bio at his site, davidrasnick.com. He obtained his PhD from the Georgia Institute of Technology, and spent 25 years working with proteases (a class of enzymes) and protease inhibitors. He is the author of the book, The Chromosomal Imbalance Theory of Cancer. He was a member of the Presidential AIDS Advisory Panel of South Africa. The subject of our conversation was the isolation of the Ebola virus from humans. Has it ever been done? Direct isolation is far different from diagnostic tests such as antibody or PCR, which are both indirect methods of assessment. In previous articles, Ive covered the irrelevance of these two tests. Any discussion of the Ebola virus must begin with the question of direct isolation. The whole presumption of an Ebola outbreak and epidemic rests on that question. Was the Ebola virus ever purified and isolated from a human? Here is what Rasnick wrote, after his search of the published literature: I have examined in detail the literature on isolation and Ems [EM: electron microscope pictures] of both Ebola and Marburg viruses. I have not found any convincing evidence that Ebola virus (and for that matter Marburg) has been isolated from humans. There is certainly no confirmatory evidence of human isolation. I searched the CDCs website and came up dry. The CDC claims 7728 Ebola virus cases have been laboratory-confirmed. I asked the CDC what constitutes isolation of Ebola virus from human specimens. I also asked for the protocol for isolating Ebola virus. [No reply from the CDC as of this date.] Virtually everything that is known and done with these viruses is in animals and cell culture. Rasnick continued: There is the possibility that Ebola and Marburg viruses represent laboratory artifacts. Im inclined to think this is the case. What I mean is the viruses are real but may exist at very low levels in wild animals and even humans, well-below pathogenic [disease-causing] levels. These passenger viruses may be activated and amplified in laboratory culturing conditions designed for that purpose in order to produce enough viral particles to be characterized. Viruses causing real pathology are abundant in the diseased tissues. You can see them using EM on the primary tissue. You do not need to amplify the virus in cell culture. Im always suspicious when cell culture is the only way a virus is observable by EM. Rasnicks findings are a direct challenge to the basis of the whole Ebola outbreak. If indeed the Ebola virus has never been isolated from a human being, the so-called epidemic is unproven. To say this is shocking would be a vast understatement. When public-health officials and governments claim there is an epidemic, the burden of proof is on them. At this point, they must, first and foremost, show someone, somewhere, correctly and directly and undeniably isolated Ebola virus from a human being. Lets see the evidence. Now.
