The issue with the 'isolation' language is that they try and trick everyone by saying they 'isolated' a virus from the host. However, what they fail to reveal is that they mean they have isolated fluid or material from a host, but they are not isolating a pathogen from said fluid or material.
Nice writing, thank you!

Hiya, Yes, the isolation is confusing in every way. Sometimes I think they mean they've seen CPEs in culture so think they have something in the patient fluid-though not of course separated from everything else in the fluid, nor that the CPE"S shown don't also occur in controls (though in Baric's paper there seemed to be CPE, GFP signal and 'viral' replication in the 'mock' no 'virus'!! https://georgiedonny.substack.com/p/peer-review-is-a-joke-and-not-just
Thank you for much for reading Kristen and your comments, I really appreciate it 😊
You're very welcome- writing helps me to sort things in my head
