I disagree, people need to think about these things for THEMSELVES.
Could you verify all by YOURSELF that "COVID-19" exists as a discreet entity (not air pollution, other infections, etc). HINT: You can't.
And notice, I'm not saying no one has gotten sick or died.
A "virus" may not be what we think it is, and "COVID" may be caused by other pathogens.
Didn't say anything about "viruses are not proven to cause disease". YOU said that. I said a virus may not be what we think it is. Then instead of providing information you went off. Any reason in particular why you want to pull something out of NOTABLES? Maybe there are some truths you don't want people to think about? Jon Rappoport has covered Big Pharma fraud for years and his opinions are well formulated, imo.
As for my own educated opinon: Viruses may be endosomes associated with cell signalling. Though things like measles may result from an apparent viral infection, the "infection" is protective from other things that may be worse than having a rash for a few days. It might be sort of like a "programming update" for the developing body.
As I initially stated you cannot by yourself verify the existence of SARS-CoV-2 as the etiologic agent for a specific discrete disease diagnosed as "COVID-19". All hypotheses can be tested but by testing you can only disprove.
I buy the idea of a mutant virus/endosome that is also able to survive within bacterial vectors and has made certain people ill or which has been associated with illness. I cannot prove that either. However, I'd like to know why the best preventives and treatments all involve immune system suppression and/or antibiotics/anti-parasitics.
