Jon's point is well taken... that Dr. Wu Zunyou, the chief epidemiologist at the Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention says they did not isolate the virus.

Reuters fact check team says sars-cov-2 has indeed been isolated.

I emailed Mr. Moss as follows...

Mr. Moss-- Reuters reported on Dec. 4, 2020 that Sar-Cov-2 was indeed isolate but investigative journalist Jon Rappoport points to an interview of Dr. Wu Zunyou, the chief epidemiologist at the Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention, who says they did not isolate the Sars-Cov-2 virus. source: https://blog.nomorefakenews.com/2021/02/16/they-didnt-isolate-the-virus/

Jon Rappoport writes, to the Reuters' fact checked article's point, that the apparent isolation of the virus is not true. He wrote "I’ve also explained that the so-called genetic sequencing of the virus is another con. It isn’t the result of looking through some sort of cosmic microscope at genes lined up like cars in a supermarket parking lot. It’s a process using a computer program to stitch together DATA— PRESUMED pieces of a virus—based on speculation, bias, pretension, and sheer hype. Rather than science." End of quote.

I'll post this in my own blog and track it so that my readers and Mr. Rappaport's readers can follow up on your double-checked conclusions.
