I am neutral on this topic with no axe to grind, just interested in the daily flourishing of ideas.

I practised children's dentistry before and after the HIV episode in 1984 or thereabouts. Masks (and gloves ) were mandatory after 1984.

I seemed all my life to be prone to catching colds and sniffles, more so when I worked close to a patient and less so after masks were made mandatory. 40 years of clinical practice, half without masks, half with. Something is going on here, I will not speculate, I will follow Michael's rule here and stick to my knitting.

Just wondering. Where do the electron microscope pictures come from?

The process needed to prepare dead or dying & decaying biological matter for electron microscopy, is in the link below should you be suffering from insomnia, but in short they clean it in chemicals, dehydrate it with alcohol, wash the alcohol out with volatile chemicals (Stop & think for a moment what that process does to organic material!....Thought about it?….Good….’Cause they still aint finished yet), stain it with a dye, encapsulate it in resin, slice it into tiny little pieces, place it in a vacuum & finally bombard it with (high voltage electricity) electrons, which are focused into a beam, it is this beam which is interpreted as an image.

This image is photographed & is now an electron micrograph.

From the following link, a quote;..”We conclude that cell structures are affected by the fixation process.” https://www.nanolive.ch/technology/live-cell-imaging/nanolive-imaging/fixation/

Yep! Yep! Yep! I learn something new every day. Thank you.

You're welcome.

The brief description above was just a general reference to the process as it relates to biological matter, virologists will often use electron microscopy as proof of existence of the hypothetical "virus", this is known as the Peter McCullough Method AKA "point & declare" (the arrows in the Electron Micrograph point & virologists declare; "L00K THERE!") however, electron microscopists who interpret the beam of electrons into an image never use the word "virus/virion" they use the phrase "virus like particles" the Devil is in the detail.......................and of course arrows on an EM do not prove pathogenicity.

Here's an interesting podcast (c/w write up) that you may already be aware of.
