The definition of microbes, or microorganisms:
**
A microorganism, or microbe,[a] is an organism of microscopic size, which may exist in its single-celled form or as a colony of cells.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microorganism
Viruses are not cells since they have no cell structure.
Bacteria are single celled organisms. It seems even the dictionary says you are promoting pseudo-science.
To be fair, whether alleged biological viruses should be classified as microbes is somewhat in dispute because they are frequently classified as non living. it makes no sense to me, since no one disputes that other parasitic microbes are alive:
https://my.clevelandclinic.org/health/diseases/24885-parasitic-infection
Everything listed in that article is an organism that is either single celled or a group of cells. Once again, your own sources refute your argument.
The only way you can categorize something as a microbe is if it exists
Not true. We can classify unicorns as a mammal and probably related to horses even if we both agree they don't exist.
You are free to use pseudo-science to claim it is a mammal but science will never call it a mammal since it doesn't exist.
There are only 2 choices in the definition you provided. Viruses can not be either of them. Are you now claiming the definition you provided is not correct?I agree that viruses are not defined as cells.
A microorganism, or microbe,[a] is an organism of microscopic size, which may exist in its single-celled form or as a colony of cells.
It does say they have to be cells since it says they "As I said in the post you were responding to, whether or not alleged viruses can be considered to be microbes is in debate. You may note that Wikipedia doesn't actually say that microbes -have- to be cells. Here's another article that gets into the dispute directly:
" It does not say they may exist as not being cells.may exist in its single-celled form or as a colony of cells.
Now you are just playing word games and ignoring your own sources.**
Is a virus a microbe? Not all consider viruses an organism. But for those who do, viruses could then be the smallest form of microbes.

Back to our dead end where you spout pseudo-science without any supporting evidence. What falsifiable experiment has been done to show what is in those pictures are exosomes? Did they do the RNA? Did they grow them in cultures? Did they do any science at all other than make the claim?As an aside, there is another microbe that is also not a cell, but is produced from cells, that sounds suspiciously like viruses- exosomes. I believe at least one of the doctors in the group of signatories I reference in the opening post believes that atleast some of the electron microscope pictures taken of alleged viruses are actually exosomes. More on them here:

I never said all parasites were microbes. I never said all microbes were parasites. If your intention was to introduce a straw man then congratulations. Or was it simply another attempt to ignore what an article actually says and twist it to fit your pseudo-science.You're missing the point for my bringing up the article- the point was that just because something is parasitic doesn't mean that it shouldn't be listed as a microbe.
Congratulations. Now tell us what the scientific method is. It requires that you test your hypothesis and not just make claims that you never test.I see that pseudo-science has become your new favourite word when dialoguing with me in this thread. I may have done this before, but considering the amount of times you've used this term, I think it would be best to make sure that we've defined the term. Here's the introduction to the term from Wikipedia:
**
Pseudoscience consists of statements, beliefs, or practices that claim to be both scientific and factual but are incompatible with the scientific method.[Note 1]
**

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pseudoscience
Claims from Dr Bailey that they have never tested. Denials by Dr Bailey. Not a single falsifiable hypothesis in that statement by Dr Bailey. Congratulations! Nothing but pseudo-science from your sources and you. The only one providing pseudo-scientific methods in that statement is Dr Bailey.You may have noticed that Dr. Mark Bailey actually accuses virologists of employing pseudoscientific methods. He brings it up in the very first paragraph of the abstract of his essay "Farewell to Virology (Expert Edition)". For anyone interested, he's what he says specifically:
**
Virology invented the virus model but has consistently failed to fulfil its own requirements. It is claimed that viruses cause disease after transmitting between hosts such as humans and yet the scientific evidence for these claims is missing. One of virology’s greatest failures has been the inability to obtain any viral particles directly from the tissues of organisms said to have “viral” diseases. In order to obfuscate this state of affairs, virologists have resorted to creating their own pseudoscientific methods to replace the longstanding scientific method, as well as changing the dictionary meaning of words in order to support their anti-scientific practices. For instance, an “isolated” isolate does not require the physical existence of the particles in order to be afforded “isolation” status.

I now see that the definition of ad hominems are somewhat vague, but you definitely engaged in personal attacks on people who believe that viruses aren't real by calling them "idiots". This doesn't help the actual discussion of the merits of this point of view.
The definition of ad hominem is not vague at all. It is very specific.
Yes, but you seem to think that JesusAI is only referring to me when he speaks of this dead end. Anyway, he never elaborated on what he meant, so perhaps it's best to just leave this.
We are both at the dead end. I never once said it was just you.
**personal insults in the middle of an otherwise sound argument are not fallacious ad hominem attacks.**
[Source]:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Name_calling
You are an idiot which is why you are wrong about what an ad hominem is. <--- ad hominem
Like an idiot, you get the definition wrong about ad hominem when you claim any name calling is an ad hominem when the actual definition requires there be no valid argument included with the name calling. <--- not an ad hominem.
Fine, engaging in personal insults tends to derail threads. Happy now?
You are free to run away and pout anytime you want to. It would probably make us both happy if you did so indefinitely.
Do viruses exist or not?
I believe most if not all biological entities labelled biological viruses don't.
And yet your pseudo-science can't come up with a reasonable explanation for what causes the diseases attributed to viruses.
It is, yes. I'm simply pointing out that for people who don't believe in the Cov 2 virus but -do- believe that 5G causes harmful effects to the body, papers like the one above suggest that 5G alone is the cause of the health effects.
The paper doesn't suggest that at all. It suggests that 5g may aggravate the disease caused by a virus. Arguing that the paper suggests that viruses don't exist [snip]
I'm guessing you didn't read the nested quotes. So I'll just quote the relevant quotes that you somehow missed here. I said:
**
Agreed. However, some virologists have claimed that some viruses have been isolated and grown in culture. All the doctors referenced in the opening post are suggesting is that they prove that these claims are actually true.
**
And then -you- said:
**
This isn't some "claim." It is over 70 years of actual science.
**
Whereupon I pointed out that I had said claims, not claim. You then claimed I was deflecting, and then failed to provide any evidence for your claim that these virologist claims have been proven. Sorry, you didn't say proven, you said "actual science", but that sounds like you think these claims are proven to me.
Anyway, you're welcome to try to provide proof now if you like.
Go read post 982.
Not only did I read it, I quoted the relevant portion. Let me know if you ever plan to try to prove virologists' claims that they have truly isolated and cultured alleged biological viruses.
Are you referring the billions of times they have done that?
You are under the false assumption that all terrain theorists are identical in their views on microbes. In truth, terrain theorists are more like christians- they have different branches. They don't have nearly as many adherents as christian religions do, so they don't have names for different "denominations" or terrain theorist groups, but they still have some clear differences. I'm an adherent of the group that comprises the signatories referenced in the opening post.
Multiple views on one theory is possible?
If you'd have only called an argument I made idiotic, that would have been a bit better. In point of fact, you called people who don't believe in viruses "idiots". I'll quote you to help refresh your memory:
**
This isn't some "claim." It is over 70 years of actual science. Because some idiots refuse to believe something doesn't mean they have to prove something that has been proven billions of times.

You never actually provided any evidence that virologists claims (note the plural) were based on "actual science", but you were all too happy to insult anyone who called their claims into question.
Have you seen any evidence that either of the Baileys made the claim that all life can be isolated and cultured?
Virologists have claimed that they have isolated and grown in culture some viruses. The doctors and other experts in the opening post have simply asked virologists to provide solid evidence that this has in fact been accomplished.
When someone posits that something doesn't exist as life and then suggests the only way to prove it exists is to pretend it has certain characteristics that don't apply to all life is psuedo-science.
I have repeatedly shown this to be true.
Humans can't be grown in culture. Humans exist.
I already gave you a long list of possible causes, courtesy of Tessa Lena, in the nested quotes above. It's right up there in the nested quotes. You can start reading at the title "Poliomyelitis-like symptoms caused by poisoning" and just keep on going from there.
Simply having a list of possible causes is pseudo-science.
I still have no idea how you manage to jump to the conclusions you jump to. Anyway, see my last post in regards to a long list of possible causes of polio.
Agreed. You seem to be unaware of how often you employ pseudo-scientific methods. You're constantly making claims without providing evidence, much less proof. I've noted that you never responded to my post #1060, where I pointed out 2 claims you made that you have never provided solid evidence for, let alone proof. I'll remind you of them here:
**
You made 2 claims:
1- That I have no evidence for my belief that Dr. Mark Bailey makes a compelling case in his farewell to virology essay that virology is not science, but pseudo science.
2- That I have no evidence disputing the existence of viruses.
I'm simply asking you to prove your claims. I'm pretty sure you won't even try, but I think it's good to point out the fact that you tend to make a lot of claims that you can't actually prove.
**
Let me know if you ever intend to provide evidence for these claims of yours.
Does DDT cause polio symptoms or not? First you claim it does then you claim it is other poisons.
No, RNA sequences are found when doing RNA sequencing. You have yet to provide any evidence that any RNA sequences found belong to an alleged polio virus.
Your denial is more evidence of you practicing pseudo-science.
I have given links to the genome database. You simply deny that the millions of times that viruses have been sequenced exist.
No, RNA sequences are found when doing RNA sequencing. You have yet to provide any evidence that any RNA sequences found belong to an alleged polio virus.
Here is the NIH genome database which has 49 times that the complete genome has been sequenced over the years.

No one disagrees that calling someone an idiot is a personal insults, however, so I think I'll stick to calling that and other similar words by that term in the future.
I looked back at what you said. Specifically post 1024:
**
The dead end would be you keep going back to the same sources over and over and never addressing the legitimate issues I raise as to your arguments and your sources credibility.
**
So apparently you seem to think that the reason that we are at this alleged dead end is because I'm not addressing legitimate issues that you believe you raise. Assuming this is what you mean, I'd disagree with you.
What I'm -trying- to do is point out that personal insults tend to derail a thread. Do you agree?
