Did Spain's high court confirm that COVID-19 does not exist?
An article and video circulating on social media claims a Spanish court document proves that the Spanish Ministry of Health was taken to court and admitted that its laboratories were not able to provide a SARS-CoV-2 virus sample because the virus does not exist.
But there was no court hearing on the existence of COVID-19 and the Spanish Ministry of Health was not taken to court. The "proof" offered for the claim is an informational reply letter the government issued to answer a question from a COVID-denier group.
The government agency stated that it does not have laboratories where it can perform the tests but other Spanish laboratories have isolated the virus.
A Spanish website published an article titled, translated into English, "SARS-CoV-2 has been isolated by scientists in biosafety laboratories and not in the Ministry of Health itself."
