    Vax is the administrative arm (no pun intended) of modern demonology.

    Uh, yes?

    Should we send you into a brothel for a few weeks so you can see the magic in action?

    I really hope you don't think this is clever. It's the kind of zinger a middle schooler might conjure.

    Please don’t devalue my ridicule by reducing it to a zinger. I do regard germ theory as something on the level of the gods are angry.

    Look, I get that you have some level of hubris that makes you think you know better than hundreds of years of science. Clearly you're too dug into that to see the light. But if nothing else, I just need you to know that "demonology" is an incredibly embarrassing thing to continue writing.

    I defy you to define “hundreds of years of science” in a way as to exclude theories that would have gotten you burned at the stake at some point.

    I’m trying to get one person, just ONE person onboard so I can rise above troll status!

    I have total faith you will. As PT Barnum famously said, "there's a sucker born every minute."

    Presumably there's some rogue, flat-earth adjacent community where this kind of demonstrable nonsense is bandied without the deep shame it commands. I will admit to having morbid curiosity about such communities and love reading the insanity in real time.

    My only concern is there may not be enough 120+ year old Ann Arbor newspaper anecdotes that do nothing to refute anything related to germ theory but are used as such anyway. "(

    Upset your hive mind. Out comes the flat-earther. If I’m a troll can I call you a manipulist ?

    Let's go with "rationalist."

    You actually think that's what happened? Stunning. Good luck to you, but more so good luck to Dugger. I don't envy his Thanksgivings.

    I’m saying that the dubious understanding of anthrax as bacterium that secrete toxins is 184 years old.

    So you have no idea what causes deaths after people are exposed to a bacteria, but it certainly isn't the bacteria?
