Wonderful writing. I am quite new to the topic but have worked my way through Dissolving Illusions, Turtles All The Way Down, Virus Mania, the Viral Delusion series, Terrain the movie, loads of pods and started my most recent Can You Catch A Cold? by Dan Roytas, recently interviewed by Sam Bailey then Tom Cowan which were excellent. You have introduced me to some interesting angles here in this fascinating journey. And you reminded me of something a professor told us at university in the 90s - I majored in Spanish philology with applied linguistics - about the etymology of “malaria”, which supposedly came from “mal aire”, Spanish for “bad air”, which was the conquistadores’ explanation for why so many of their crewmen were being struck down.

Per my comment on the other stack, the printed Merck Manual defined viruses as “the tiniest of parasites” from the 10th edition in 1961 to the current 20th edition published in 2018. I find this yet another curious angle, which I include in the interests of diversity of ideas. However, that the beast system would do such a thing, along with all the other endless acts of deceit, corruption, esoterica, psychogenesis, iatrogenesis, farmakeia, magick and eugenics masquerading as a medical industrial complex to sow chaos and occlude fundamental health truths from reaching us is not lost on me. Here are the 10 editions - allegedly - with each definition shown:
