References

I don’t know if I’m correct, but I’m pretty sure that the references are not in the correct format. Is there supposed to be a separate section for bibliography and citations? I don’t see other articles with the references in this format. MeowNeow (talk) 01:22, 19 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Brucella Claim

Mycoplasma is a genus that is phylogenetically related to Gram-positives ^[1]. You cannot "extract" a whole Mycoplasma from Brucella, a gram-negative bacterium, and you certainly cannot take an RNA sequence from a lentivirus genome and insert it into that. I also have never heard these immunomodulatory claims or it being passed through sweat and blood and propose deleting these claims as such.
