7 American universities tried to isolate SARS-CoV-2. They tried multiple times and could not find it. This lab contacted CDC, was told by then-director Robert Redfield to call it SARS-CoV-2 or they lose careers and funding. They tried to publish, were turned down by 21 journals. They asked the CDC for a SARS-CoV-2 sample, they don’t have it. They were eventually raided by the FBI who confiscated records and equipment.
