    " The most difficult point for readers to believe, for which he provides this “trigger warning,” is the scientific literature actually reveals “Acute respiratory illnesses” such as colds and the flu, “are NOT caused by viruses
    and also, are NOT CONTAGIOUS.” Therefore, “they cannot be infectious. That rules out the mendacious description of these illnesses as being caused by submicroscopic, infectious particles called viruses.”

    Well that sure does/will change several things in life as we know it. If it
    is not virues causing colds what does cause colds?

    When I got covid 2 years ago, about 12 other people in the same room
    got it at the same time as me. It was impressively contageous. So
    I'm going with viruses until there is a darn good counter-explanation.

    The frequent successes in tracking links between those who caught
    Covid-19 in the early days of the pandemic in New Zealand were very
    convincing, as was the research into the effects on people at
    different ages, usefulness of masks, distancing, and the particular
    dangers of mass gatherings. New Zealand was also a little behind some
    other countries in getting vaccines, but by then we had seen the
    benefit of distancing; the government actions that kept businesses
    going also meant there was a lower overall expectation of high
    economic threats; and by the time vaccines were available some testing
    results were available. Many New Zealanders were able to track how the
    virus had spread with their own families and people they knew - yes
    our isolation and ability to stop most international arrivals gave us
    an advantage, but also gave us the time to understand the threat of a contagious virus.

    Tptally off topic. This topic is about whether there are such things as viruses, not about what our incompetent government did or did not do. Start your own thread.

    The whole point of my post was to re-assure you Tony that yes there
    are viruses, and there have been no denials of that reality from any
    credible scientist or government. Now other countries and other
    languages may use a different term, or even more than one term to
    describe the same things - and indeed not all viruses are the same,
    but that they exist has been made abundantly clear in New Zealand
    recent history for there to be no doubt that as far as nz.general is
    concerned, anyone denying their existence must be considered as
    attempting to be misleading or of deliberate obfuscation for their own
    motives.

    Your post is off topic and has no point whatsoever. You don't know whether Viruses exist or not, your scientific and medical bacgrounds are zero.

    I would be happy to hear about your scientific and medical
    qualifications, but more on topic would be a statement by any suitably qualified person or government giving reasons why they believe that
    viruses do not exist. In these days of fairly simple Artificial
    Intelligence, do you exist, Tony?

    Abuse gone.
    I don't have to prove anything. I have not stated an opinion on the matter. You have, you clearly believe Viruses exist.
    So prove it!
    You have no scientific skills, education or qualifications, you do not think like an engineer or a scientist, that is when you think at all.
    Prove it or go to hell.
