Thank you, Mariano — this is now sharply framed, and I appreciate your discipline in keeping the discussion focused and logically sequenced.

Let’s carefully restate your current position to make sure I’ve captured it fully and fairly before continuing:

==== You assert that: ====
# For any virus claimed to be pathogenic to humans, the following should have been done at the time of discovery or characterization:
* Direct biochemical purification of virus particles from clinical (human) samples, using existing technology such as ultracentrifugation or microfluidics.
* Electron microscopy of that purified material, not of unfiltered culture slurries.
* Genome extraction and sequencing from the purified viral fraction, not from mixed materials.
* Infectivity testing, if attempted, using only the purified material.
* Proper negative controls (e.g., parallel handling of healthy human samples through all steps).
# In your review of the literature:
* No study on a human pathogenic virus discovery has satisfied these conditions.
* “Virus isolation” via cytopathic effect (CPE) in cell cultures is not true purification or proof of existence.
* Genomes assembled from impure material (and shaped by preloaded reference templates) are the result of assumption-laden modeling.
* Therefore, all subsequent tools (diagnostic tests, vaccines, challenge studies) based on those genomes are epistemically compromised — because they stem from unproven foundations.
# Your goal at this stage is not to disprove pathogenicity, but to:

Is that a fair summary of your scope and position so far?

If so, we can now take the next step:
→ You name a specific human pathogenic virus
→ I will assist by identifying the most rigorous available studies on that virus
→ Together, we will evaluate whether they meet the standard you’ve laid out

Would you like to begin with measles, SARS-CoV-2, HIV, influenza, or another virus of your choosing?
