"Introduction
The number of scientific papers published about COVID-19 is impressive: by June 2025 over 480,000 articles had been registered on Pubmed in the 5 and a half years since the COVID-19 pandemic was first announced to be underway...
I ask the following question: are there keys to a deeper comprehension of the COVID-19 issues buried in all the frantic scientific production that followed the announcement of the 'pandemic'? What is certain is that much of it was not even peer reviewed but has, rather, consisted of preprints because of the announced and perceived 'emergency'.
Methods and Results
Search has been made in the scientific literature with the already mentioned keywords. This is not a complete review, but a search in which only papers considered meaningful to the current debate are briefly described. The goal is to sift through some of the significant data using a sound methodological approach...
If the SARS-CoV-2 virus was a novel entity that did not exist until December 2019, it could not be found prior to that time, but it was found. The results of the present research are sufficient to conclude that the currently accepted theory is, thanks to the results I am reporting here, unequivocally falsified...
Discussion
The currently accepted theory —even if its erroneous premises are endorsed —has been completely falsified by the findings... The presence of 'specific' viral sequences (attributed to the SARS-CoV-2 virus), specific IgG and IgM antibodies, and specific cellular immunity in the pre-pandemic era, worldwide, makes the version of the fictional escape from Wuhan implausible. Sometimes, a mysterious exception is invoked that proves the rule; however, that is not the case here because we are not talking about a single mysterious 'white crow' but about entire flocks of white crows wherever anyone has looked for them. Not even an earlier escape dating back to 2018 or previous years can be invoked. It is true that laboratory experiments on the 'gain of function' of coronaviruses began even before 2013-2014, and virus engineering can be traced back to the 1990s but most of the modern research was developed after 2014...
Conclusion
The widespread presence of SARS-CoV-2, according to the tests prepared for its identification, in periods prior to 2020, and dating back to 2011, and geographically far from Wuhan, is incompatible with the theory officially accepted by health authorities and mainstream scientific communities worldwide."
