Settling the Biological Virus Debate

I did an internet search for your "Argument of ignorance fallacy". Came up with an entry from Wikipedia titled "Argument from Ignorance", I assume this is what you mean. From their entry:

**
Argument from ignorance (from Latin: argumentum ad ignorantiam), also known as appeal to ignorance (in which ignorance represents "a lack of contrary evidence"), is a fallacy in informal logic. It asserts that a proposition is true because it has not yet been proven false or a proposition is false because it has not yet been proven true. This represents a type of false dichotomy in that it excludes the possibility that there may have been an insufficient investigation to prove that the proposition is either true or false.[1] It also does not allow for the possibility that the answer is unknowable, only knowable in the future, or neither completely true nor completely false.[2] In debates, appealing to ignorance is sometimes an attempt to shift the burden of proof.

I have never asserted that I have proof that viruses don't exist. I have simply posited that I've seen no solid evidence that they exist. The same can be said for the doctors and other professionals who signed the document referenced in the opening post of this thread.

At this point, you're just doing the written equivalent of a broken record. Good luck with that.
