The next video in the 3-part series “Virology: A Reappraisal” on viral culture has now been uploaded to the website!!

In this video, I look at the viral culture method and explain why, although it is claimed to isolate viruses, it is actually nothing of the kind, and the history of virology. Following on from "Paper Talk" in which I examine scientific papers claiming isolation of SARS-CoV-2, the virus claimed to cause Covid-19, and explaining why the methods described therein are not isolation, I look in this new video at the common methodology of 'isolating' and growing viruses known as cell culture and explain why this method does not prove isolation, the significance of the flaws in this method to viral discovery, and the history of virology. I also relate this to Covid-19. Check it out on the Videos page.
