In recent discussions, particularly on social media, I have encountered a recurring response to my critique of virology: “Stay within your field. Your chemistry knowledge does not translate to virology.”
At first glance, this may sound reasonable. Specialization matters. Expertise matters. However, this response fundamentally misunderstands the nature of the issue being raised.
This Is Not About Virology — It Is About Scientific Claims
I am not attempting to practice virology. I am not describing clinical medicine. I am not proposing alternative biological models.
The issue is far more basic.
The claim under examination is the existence of viruses as physically isolated, purified, and fully characterized entities. That question does not belong exclusively to virology or medical practice.
