First, in the section titled "Whole Genome Sequencing," we find that rather than having isolated the virus and sequencing the genome from end to end, they found 37 base pairs from unpurified samples using PCR probes This means they actually looked at 37 out of the approximately 30,000 of the base pairs that are claimed to be the genome of the intact virus. They then took these 37 segments and put them into a computer program, which filled in the rest of the base pairs.
To me, this computer-generation step constitutes scientific fraud. Here is an equivalency: A group of researchers claim to have found a unicorn because they found a piece of a hoof, a hair from a tail, and a snippet of a horn. They then add that information into a computer and program it to re-create the unicorn, and they then claim this computer re-creation is the real unicorn. Of course, they had never actually seen a unicorn so could not possibly have examined its genetic makeup to compare their samples with the actual unicorn's hair, hooves and horn.
Comment: Phys.org reports that, according to one Russian scientist, this could be caused by a toxic algae bloom: Algae blooms do appear to be on the rise in recent years:
- Mysterious, massive and deadly algae bloom 'whirlpool' discovered in the Baltic Sea
- Mysterious new invasive algae smothering Hawaii's coral reefs
- Unusual orange algae bloom and mass fish die off at Kent coast, UK
- Antarctica's growing algae blooms
- Neurotoxic algae that is poisonous to marine life and humans advancing along the Pacific coast
