There are several problems with the reference genome (b) published by Wu et al. 2020 (a): 1. The sequenced patient sample contained genetic material from different sources: human, bacterial, viral, etc. Although known sequences were filtered out after sequencing, there is no guarantee that all non-novel-viral sequences were actually removed. 2. The patient's human genome was not sequenced for control. 3. Reassembly of the dataset published by Wu using Megahit does not provide the exact or complete sequence as published. 4. Trinity, the second program used for de novo sequencing, is unable to generate the identical contig. 5. When using untrimmed or protocol-trimmed reads (Takara), no reads are found that perfectly match both ends of the genome. This is unusual because, according to a theoretical simulation, several ends should be found in the sample. (c) 6. It has not yet been proven that the entire sequence (~30 KB) actually occurs in this form in the samples, e.g. by agarose gel electrophoresis or (Sanger/whole genome) sequencing. 7. Wu et al. published three versions of the reference genome, the first of which contained known sequences from the human reference genome. The fact that the first version contained human sequences suggests possible problems with sequencing or analysis. 8. The amplicons, i.e. the sequences of the ends found using RACE, have not been published. The non-publication of the amplicon sequences raises questions about the transparency and reproducibility of the study. 9. The only non-Chinese author of this paper, Eddie Holmes, confirmed to me by email that he had no detailed knowledge of these issues. There was silence from the Chinese side, although questions were asked via Holmes. (d) These clear scientific problems therefore clearly call into question the validity of the SARS-CoV-2 sequence.

Estimated number of lives saved by COVID-19 vaccination in Canada to date: 430,000 Vaccine-preventable outcomes that may still occur among unvaccinated Canadians: Deaths: 22,200 ICU admissions: 41,500 Hospitalizations: 150,000 Keep spread low and slow, and get vaccinated ASAP!
