>the “virus” was never even real This. To sequence the genetic information of a virus, you need to explode it into many pieces and reassemble it. The sequencer uses the reference genome, the WIOV SARS COV 2 sequence, as a white list to know which small sequences will be approved by the computer. An overly broad nucleotide white list... engineered to be overly broad... will be an affirmative result by the sequencer for many small pieces that are irrelevant. The sequencer also uses a nucleotide sequence blacklist, to exclude small sequences belonging to other viruses. Microsoft manages the 'negative control list' which is also intentionally overly broad. This means that you could explode any DNA or RNA and get whatever result you have engineered the bias for. Bias is built into the sequencing process where even steadfast lab techs can't know the difference because the output is merely a text FASTA sequence.
