Yesterday, one of my Facebook posts reached nearly 80,000 views in just over 24 hours (link). The volume and intensity of the responses suggest that a nerve was touched. When deeply held beliefs—particularly those labeled as “unquestionable” or “settled” science—are challenged, emotional reactions are inevitable. Such responses are entirely predictable.
Most replies did not engage with the argument’s substance. Instead, they relied on insults, ridicule, and attempts to dismiss my credentials. This is a common tactic when belief systems are threatened: attack the messenger rather than examine the evidence.
The most frequent rebuttal is familiar: “Read the medical literature—there are thousands of papers proving viruses exist.”
The problem is not the quantity of papers. It is how they are read—and what they actually show.
Medical and biology/virology papers do not work with isolated or purified viruses. Instead, they rely on what is termed a “virus isolate,” which is a complex mixture of cell debris, genetic fragments, proteins, additives, and other contaminants derived from cell cultures—without demonstrating that any presumed virus is present within that mixture. Labeling such material a “virus” does not establish its existence. Repeating an assumption does not make it evidence.
In true science—particularly chemistry—existence requires isolation, purification, and physical and chemical characterization. Without these steps, claims remain presumptive. This is not a minor technical detail; it is the foundation of scientific validation, which is absent. The reason this error persists is that many working in medicine and biology are not trained in science, where material identification is mandatory and rigorously enforced.
This leads to a conclusion that many find uncomfortable but unavoidable when scientific standards are applied:
Viruses do not exist; therefore, they cannot cause infection. Medical and biological experts do not work with isolated or purified viruses; they presume them. Consequently, vaccines are irrelevant and invalid as treatments or products. This is not an opinion, but a scientific claim based on the principles of true science—chemistry.
Insults will not change this. Appeals to authority will not change this. Pointing to medical or biology (peer-reviewed) publications will not change this.
The reality is that modern medicine and biology routinely borrow the language of science while ignoring its standards and requirements, using chemistry as a tool while disregarding its rules. From this misuse emerges an imagined entity called “the virus.”
This practice of false science needs to stop. The sooner true scientific rigor is restored, the sooner meaningful progress—rather than belief-driven consensus—can begin.
