People get sick, therfore viruses exist.

"I stand upright, therefore the Earth is flat."

Gotcha

I can explain how the earth can be round and gravity can pull people on both sides towards the center. Neither I nor you can explain how sickness can spread from person to person without bacteria or viruses. So those are two very different things.

VIRAL CONTAGION HAS NEVER BEEN DEMONSTRATED. You believe in it, that is clear. But NOBODY HAS EVER BEEN ABLE TO demonstrate "viral contagion".

But that's not suspicious to you because you believe it without any shred of evidence other than "he has it, and I have it" thinking that proves contagion. It does not.

See Koch's postulates: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Koch%27s_postulates

That is the most absurd thing anyone has said here, and we have had flat earthers pushing their shit. Everyone has experienced catching and spreading a cold.

Anyone can prove that diseases are communicable.

It has been proven conclusively.

Anyone can prove that diseases are communicable.

Of course, that's been proven. It's the VIRUSES that have ZERO PROOF THEY HAVE EVER EXISTED.

When you have a disease but no bacteria then you know there is something else there. Viruses are the best explanation.

OK so now we are in the realm of hypothesis.

Please name other possible causes, no matter their supposed, in your opinion, likelihood. Then we can discuss.

It's on you to provide a better explanation given that it is you claiming this one is wrong.

So you know of no other possible explanation, and given this, you choose to believe what everybdoy else believes. Deduction by ignorance.

It could be: cosmic rays, the fluctuation of the magnetic field, poisoning, some social-psychic phenomena, fungi & molds, some other electromagnetic phenomenon or maybe something else, this is just off the top of my head.

My point is, if viruses existed, they would satisfy Koch's postulates. NOTHING as an alternative to bacteria as a causative agent does.
