you could prove that covid actually makes people sick using Kotch's postulates

Gee I remember some other clowns like you claiming the same thing for HIV...

Pretty much everybody who got HIV back then died. Not to mention that nobody really gave a shit about HIV until it started affecting people other than gay men, Haitians and IV drug users. Not the same thing at all.

Incorrect.There was a small percentage that was unaffected by the virus for genetic reasons.They could still spread the virus to other people not having their innate immunity and these people would die. But that was not the point of my argument. HIV denialists would claim that HIV not meeting Koch's postulates meant that there was no link between HIV and AIDS.As FreedomUtld patiently explained to you,Koch's postulates were generated in 1890, before modern concepts in microbial pathogenesis that cannot be examined using Koch's postulates, including viruses and asymptomatic carriers.
