The Virus That Wasn’t There: Why Virology’s Proof Collapses Under Control
The Virus That Wasn’t There For over a century, science has told us that viruses are invisible assassins—microscopic killers spreading from person to person, leaving sickness in their wake. The story is repeated so often that it feels like fact. But repetition is not proof. When you strip away assumptions and demand evidence, the foundations of virology collapse. The Isolation Illusion If viruses exist, they should be directly isolatable. They should be filterable, purifiable, and viewable under an electron microscope without slaughtering entire cell cultures. Instead, virologists use a trick. They take cells, starve them by cutting back serum, poison them with antibiotics, and then wait for them to collapse. When the cells die—as any cells would under stress—they call it “Cytopathic Effect” and declare it proof of a virus. But when identical cultures are grown under the same conditions—just without any supposed “infected sample”—the same cell death occurs. The effect is no...
