KOCH'S POSTULATES

In case these haven't been posted. Robert Koch, late 1800's. These postulates have been used for 130 years as the basis for knowing when you have isolated a disease. Notably, both HIV and SARS-CoV-2 fail Koch's postulates.

1. The microorganism must be found in abundance in all organisms suffering from the disease, but should not be found in healthy organisms.

1. The microorganism must be isolated from a diseased organism and grown in pure culture.

1. The cultured microorganism should cause disease when introduced into a healthy organism.

4.The microorganism must be reisolated from the inoculated, diseased experimental host and identified as being identical to the original specific causative agent.

These are not considered the 'final word' in modern virology, because understanding has naturally evolved and become more complicated. But the root of these precepts is fairly fundamental.

IS the virus only found in sick people? NO

HAVE they isolated SARS-CoV-2? NO

CAN they reproduce it? NO
