"like to issue a note of caution for inferring viral tissue infection by morphology alone using electron microscopy images from tissues obtained from biopsies or autopsy material in patients with COVID-19."
Makes perfect sense. We can't use imaging techniques (alone) to identify a virus, we have to use all the tools available (sequencing, antibody mapping, proteomics, RNA-RNA direct mapping, etc, etc, etc)
What the are writing is the obvious two facts:
Other damage to (here kidney, but applies to other) cells can produce similar results as SARS-CoV-2 damage is claimed to produce. -> do not use histological analysis ALONE to infer SARS-CoV-2 damage
Identification of SARS-CoV-2 alone based on imaging (even if TEM) is not feasible, due to imaging resolution limits and similarity of structures. -> do not use TEM/FI-SEM/Cryo-EM/Cryo-TM alone to identify SARS-Cov-2 infection (well nobody would, that would be just stupid).
But to say "there is NO TEM image of SARS-CoV-2" is NOT right. We have plenty of images, we just can't ever get to 100% indentification due to imaging techniques alone.
This is why the Kaufman & Co argument that "show me the proof of SARS-CoV-2 by producing a photo of it" is just stupid.
But to say "there is NO TEM image of SARS-CoV-2" is NOT right.
It's easy.
Somebody made a TEM of kidney cells remains probably infected by SARS-CoV-2 and state that spiked object is a virus of question.
Another team made a TEM of kidney cells remains definitely not infected by SARS-CoV-2 and get the same spiked objects.
Since you have the same result (spiked objects) with different state of input variable (have virus / no virus) the result is not caused by variable.
Spiked objects in TEM of dead kidney cells is obviously not a SARS-CoV-2 virus particles.
In the past, when medicine at least tried to look like science, TEM proof of virus existence easily was made by first isolating it (really isolating, by separating virus particles from everything else, not "isolating" in modern cheaters newspeak), then, making TEM image of that isolated particles. You could easily find such images of purified samples even in pedowikia, say, for poliovirus Here you could easily see that there are a lot of identical objects and since there is nothing except poliovirus in sample you could scientifically assume that this is an TEM image of virus in question. Also this TEM image prove that isolation was successfull and there are no any other particles in sample. This isolated sample could be used for further research of virus, say to obtain the proof that virus and only that virus cause specific disease, or to sequence that virus and only that virus DNA/RNA.
Since SARS-CoV-2 was never isolated, there could not be any TEM images that is definitely show us SARS-CoV-2 particles. Also that means that there are can't be any proofs that SARS-CoV-2 cause COVID-19 or that published virtual RNA sequence is sequence of SARS-CoV-2. With all consequences.
As for some Kaufman & Co clowns statements, they have the same validity as statements from identical clowns from WHO or CDC and have nothing common with real science.
