APP - Do biological viruses actually exist?

[Scott]

It's more like Galileo challenging the Catholic church on its view that everything revolved around the earth.

No, it's not because we are FAR more knowledgeable about viruses now than anyone was in regard to the universe in Galileo's time.

I'm sure the Catholic church could have said much the same thing about the sun revolving around the earth. Much more advanced than that outdated Copernicus who first came up with the idea that the earth revolved around the sun.

Again, it looks a lot more complicated then you seem to believe. Here's a website on testing for various poisons:

Once again, you just use pseudoscience and fallacious logic.

Not sure how you jumped to that conclusion.

I didn't jump to any conclusion. It was the only logical conclusion from your statements.

Feel free to try to explain your logic.

Actually, you had been saying how poisons were easily tested for. I pointed out that it looked a lot more complicated then you seemed to believe.

Poisons in an environment are easy to test for once you have a group of people sick.

I can't speak for environments, but detecting poisons in people isn't always easy. From the article I linked to previously:

Q 3:​

A: Certain poisons, such as some heavy metals or plant-based toxins, can be challenging to detect due to their low concentrations or unique chemical properties. However, advancements in analytical techniques have significantly improved the ability to identify even trace amounts of various toxins. It’s crucial to consult with toxicology experts and utilize state-of-the-art testing methods for accurate detection.

The same website makes it clear that trying to determine whether someone has been poisoned is at times best done with guidance:

Q 5: What is the name of the Poison test?​

A: The specific test for poison detection depends on the suspected toxin. Common tests include immunoassays, gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS), and liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS). The choice of test is determined by the type of poison and the required sensitivity of the analysis. Consultation with a toxicology expert or healthcare professional can guide the selection of the most appropriate test for a given situation.
