Oh you mean the cure for the common cold? The one they have been looking for for years? We don't need any goddamned cures for a cold. That's what COVID is, it is a fucking cold virus but no one bothered to track colds until 2020 so now we have a "pandemic" that really didn't kill very many people at all. That's my "belief system".
Common cold viruses and SARS-2 cause different gene expressions in infected cells. Cells produce stuff for self defence and to alert the immune system. Viruses try to suppress the gene expression needed to produce the RNA blueprints needed for self defence. The resulting gene expression is unique for every virus.
Fun fact: Viruses produce proteins that get transported by importer molecules into the nucleus, where the proteins then inhibit the gene expression. Ivermectin blocks the importer molecules used by SARS-2.
Go ahead and supply the class with the isolated SARS-2 virus, not a computer model.
Done a million times. The problem with the no-isolates argument is that they say that the routine process used for decades to create isolates and sequences just doesn't work for this one virus ("tainted", "not purified"), while all other viruses where correctly isolated that way.
Then there are people who are consequent enough to say that, because isolation doesn't work at all, there are no viruses at all ("terrain theory"). But they cannot explain the mechanisms of action of the cures.
