    Plenty of people were still beating people up about not getting boosted x2.
    There are people here almost bragging about how boosted they are, the tone is of you aren’t you’re anti science and stupid.


    Does the US still require people to be “fully vaxxed and boosted” to enter the US? Unless of course you are here seeking “sanctuary”.

    I guess I read this as not that they aren’t recommending it, but at this point it is lower priority and subject to other factors.

    Almost everybody has some level of immunity between vax and disease. There appears to be some lasting protection from both. At this point, the benefit of a booster is mostly a short term modest antibody boost 2-3 months.

    You didn't read the article, which was about confirmation of viral infections.

    SARS-CoV-2 Virions or Ubiquitous Cell Structures? Actual Dilemma in COVID-19 Era

    By showing a paper where they distinguaihed viruses from other types of cells using a whole set of methods? Well...okay then...

    Effectively, they’ve identified some ponies wearing strap-ons as unicorns whereas others are just fake unicorns. But I do realize I’m talking to a believer in unicorns.

    Not according to the paper you cited. They identified a virus and utilized a variety of methods to prove it's existence. Again, this is the paper you chose to cite.

    Using methods as scientifically sound as those used to prove unicorns. See: your earlier paper and your viral tracking video where they used pretend viruses (VLP’s) to prove that real viruses hijack cells and replicate themselves.

    Quite the statement given that you never even read the paper. But you apparently know their methods. Despite not reading it. And, to remind you again, this is the paper that you cited that you are now trying to disprove.

    Seen one, seen ‘em all. Bitter clingers like yourself hold on to hope that THIS is going to be the differentiating paper. But every time I see “culture” I see fraud.

    The vesicles they confuse for viruses are from monkey kidney cells. Which the so-called isolation methods use for the culturation. The CPE (cell breakdown) is used to "isolate" the virus. This is conclusive proof that the structures "isolated" are merely dying KIDNEY cells. GAME OVER.

    Except it isn't. It would be quite strange to have dying kidney cells in your lungs, which, if you had actually read it, you would know that is where they found viruses. But reading papers doesn't benefit you, so you don't do it and just make up what they say to suit your needs, while citing them and claiming you read them when it is useful to you to make that claim. GAME OVER.

    The lung specimen doesn’t contain monkey kidney cells. D’uh! It’s the culture that contains monkey kidney cells. The notion of isolation (for virologists) is a complete debasement of the term.

    Does it? Can you quote me where the paper you didn't read tells you that their culture contains monkey kidney cells?

    You do realize that you cannot have a rational discussion with him on the subject of viruses? He either genuinely believes that viruses do not exist or much more likely he is taking that position to troll the rest of us.
