    Anyone thinking this was naturally occurring must believe in the tooth fairy also.

    Hmm, so what is the methodological problem with the peer reviewed scientific articles that I linked which led them to not agree with your conclusion?

    Literally none of this has anything to do with the article I linked or it's methodology. You clearly have no idea where they got the virus from, despite them outright saying it in the article (hint, this virus can't even infect humans). So I ask again, did you just not understand what they did or did you not read it?

    LOL. Yeah, sort of like the CDC's "studies" showing masks work...

    Can't help people who are so gullible.

    There is no virus to be found. Only particles presupposed to be viruses. Virology is the modern day equivalent of demonology. There are credible alternative explanations for simultaneous illness.

    Actually mask mandates were effective at preventing the transmission of Covid. Probably much less so now following the emergence of Omicron as the dominant variant but they did prove to be effective during 2020 when the strains of Covid were less transmissible but more lethal.
    https://www.healthaffairs.org/doi/10.1377/hlthaff.2021.01072
    On average, the daily case incidence per 100,000 people in masked counties compared with unmasked counties declined by 25 percent at four weeks, 35 percent at six weeks, and 18 percent across six weeks postintervention. The beneficial effect varied across regions of different population densities and political leanings. The most concentrated effects of masking mandates were seen in urban counties; the benefit of the mandates was potentially stronger within Republican-leaning counties. Although benefits were not equally distributed in all regions, masking mandates conferred benefit in reducing community case incidence during an early period of the COVID-19 pandemic.

    Masks are anxiety placebos and ideological boundary markers, nothing more.

    Dude consider the source it's coming from, between him and ncargat1 they've taken over a half dozen jabs or more. They're beyond any hope now

    No there is not. Continued ignorance does not excuse you making the actual effort to learn . Start with TM virus. Sigh

    Yeah, believing peer reviewed science over Tommy Tuberville on medical matters. Crazy. You are right, we should all regularly listen to Tommy Tuberville on such matters. To avoid being gullible. Good call. Lol.

    Well, that is certainly an opinion. But one based on nothing more than what you want to be true. Especially given that I played along with this and it turns out that you can't even read papers about it.

    To the contrary, it is virology that is under penned by circular reasoning.

    Virologists assume a virus exists before it has been isolated, and then look for it.

    They find some small particles have definitely been isolated via sucrose gradient centrifuge.

    Unfortunately, there is no proof that the particle isolated is a virus that causes pathogenicity.

    This is the circular logical fallacy that they all get locked into and can't seem to get out of.

    Poster just proved that he did NOT research TM virus at all. Or completely lacks ability to do basic scientific reasoning. LOL

    LOL. You probably still think if you take the vaccine you can't get covid. Or Once you take the vaccine you can't spread it to anyone LOL. Lockdowns, school closures, masks, vaxxing kids and now covid just magically appearing a mile from a lab that studies such things LOL.

    You've already 100% killed your scientific position if you must use You Tube to defend. OMG
