I only block spammers, and I'm pretty comfortable saying you don't fall into that category.

My biggest take on virology criticism is much like my take on flat earthers... a lot of their major claim are just wrong. These groups hammer relentlessly at a few counter-intuitive truths, that are backed up by CENTURIES of individual experiments all over the globe, and claim erroneously that the evidence to refute them doesn't exist.

While I agree wholeheartedly that specialists will often get tunnel vision, and can often become religious in their beliefs, these people tend to be zealots more than scientists. Scientists want to know things, zealots want to be known.

The mechanisms by which bacteria, viruses, and other more novel pathogens operate are fairly well known at this point. It is also fairly well known that they alone are not responsible for all the various forms of dis-ease that people experience. Your response to these invaders has much more to do with whether or not you get sick than the pathogens themselves, and immune responses are just as individual as personalities.

Knowing the truth can be HARD, even if you do your own research and experiments. Humans are emotional creatures, and that interferes. We are also prone to extrapolating patterns that do not necessarily exist. The whole point of experimental science is to provide a body of evidence that is not influenced by our own irrationality.
