I have a fundamental problem with theories that oppose the germ theory of disease. This is that the germ theory of disease is what I have observed all my life in the natural environment. It is simply predation. Big fish eat little fish, but extrapolated such that groups of little fish eat big fish.

Predation is clearly obvious, and no one credibly contests it. It is also plainly obvious that groups of small creatures prey on larger creatures, and even solitary small creatures prey on larger creatures, although such predation is called parasitism. Fleas, mosquitoes, leeches, and all manner of small organisms make a living by consuming parts of larger creatures without killing them outright to do so, and this is the difference between parasitism and predation.

When a lion eats you, it kills you outright. When a mosquito eats you, you generally live through being eaten because the mosquito eats so little.

I am absolutely confident that creatures smaller than fleas and leeches live and make a living eating larger creatures, because the difference in size between a leech and a bacteria does not materially change the mechanism of predation such that bacteria cannot do so.

I find any argument against such obvious parasitism completely irrational, and unsupported by evidence whatsoever.

When confronted with the concept of viruses, which are not living things at all, but simply RNA or DNA mechanisms, the mechanism of contagion is very different, because we aren't talking about living things, but what are essentially chemicals.

Biochemistry reveals myriad mechanisms that range in complexity from quite simple to incomprehensibly complex, and that latter extreme is where we find viruses. However, viruses are not the only biochemicals that are so complex, and myriad hormonal and other processes have naturally arisen over ~4B years of evolution that are also similarly complex. Some of the extraordinary complexity of biological systems remains quite difficult to characterize and understand, including epigenetics, cancer, and hormones.

When we are confronted with such complexity that surpasses our ability to observe and characterize, we must necessarily resort to obscure and complex mechanisms of observation, and undertake processes of hypothesis and experiment to ascertain objective reality and form rational theories supported by empirical evidence. We cannot hold hormones in our hands and observe them in their intricate dance of biological function, and neither can we do so with viruses.

That does not make viruses fake, anymore than it makes hormones fake, and it greatly increases the difficulty of understanding and characterizing them. That difficulty also prevents many people from attaining to rational understanding of biochemistry, because they lack the ability to rationally understand very complex things, either due to their educational background, or innate inability to undertake such education.

As Dunning Kruger asserts, most people believe themselves more competent than they are, and this includes myself, as I have recently proved in my correspondence with @lemouth regarding physics. I am not a physicist, and it took him weeks to gently allow me to establish that fact to my satisfaction, an admirable achievement in my estimation.

I am neither a biochemist, and lack the specific expertise to rationally consider virology, and this is true of almost the entire population of the world, and I note Dr. Kaufman himself acknowledges. Therefore I do not claim to know that this or that virus exists, nor does not.

I do understand the mechanism by which complex biochemical interactions occur, and this does not exclude parasitic mechanisms, such as viruses, and also includes many other mechanisms, such as jumping genes, which I have not personally undertaken to verify as actual and real. I note that such things are rationally possible, and leave my judgment unfixed, because I am incompetent to make judgments on such matters and I know it.

Contagion theory is absolutely provable from observations I have made myself, at scales I can observe. I have personally been eaten by fleas, leeches, and mosquitoes, and know damn well my parts have been converted into baby fleas, leeches, and mosquitoes, confirming that at scales observable with the naked eye, contagion theory is fact. I have personally observed bears, eagles, and my family eating salmon, and am personally the result of such contagion at a higher trophic level.

I have also seen microscopic evidence of bacteria doing the exact same thing, and am convinced that at every trophic level, biological life undertakes to consume living things and reproduce. While I am not a mechanic, I am familiar with mechanical forms of reproduction that reproduce non-living things, such as factories and assembly lines, and I am equally confident that similar processes are undertaken at every trophic level, including molecular, which is the range at which biochemical processes occur.

I do not agree that terrain theory disproves virology, or the many arguments made by people incapable of understanding biochemistry disprove anything. I am incompetent to make such assertions, and I am ok with that. I am confident that a great many people fail to acknowledge they are incompetent to make such judgments and do make them.

This leads to my fundamental disagreement with making such claims on social media, because it is absolutely certain that doing so will lead to gaining believers that are incompetent to understand or judge the truth of the matter, because of Dunning Kruger absolutely being fact, as I have just proved myself, about myself, only last week. Doing that poisons the well of dissent that I am capable of, by restricting myself to facts and information I am competent to understand, such as that the jabs have caused more reported deaths than all other vaccines in the history of VAERS combined.

There are lots of very good and easy to understand facts that enable rational people to make judgments regarding covid, the jabs, and the policies of governments that prove we are being lied to and harmed by those means. Poisoning the well prevents humanity from maximizing our effective resistance to what is obviously a global imposition of totalitarian tyranny, by confusing our understanding of the things we are ubiquitously competent to understand, such as fraud, genocide, and crimes against humanity.

I stick to those subjects in my posts, while seeking more information I am competent to understand regarding subjects I do not have the education to make such judgments about. I am educating myself by making such inquiries of specialists, as I have done here. While I did not get an answer, lack of evidence is not evidence of lack, and I will continue to seek information as necessary before I make judgments.

Thanks!
