They found evidence of infectious virus in BAL samples from in 21/25 macques. I thought this was pretty clear. Not clear to me what you think is dishonest about any of this.
bsky.app/profile/ryan...They found that RNA- and antigen-positive BAL samples contained infectious virus that productively replicated in alveolar macrophages in cell culture. Even a few of the RNA- and antigen-negative samples showed evidence of productive replication (84% showed increasing levels of spike over time).
