I never said bacteria don’t exist. Bacteria are the foundation of life imo; trillions exist inside of us, for example as our gut biome. Mitochondria most likely evolved from bacteria.

To make things more confusing, I also don’t think that viruses don’t exist. What I believe appears not to be true is your original assumption of my thinking, which is that germ theory is not true; specifically, that exogenous contagious pathogens do not exist.

If you could take less than five minutes, you could read the first chapter in the document I linked to understand Elder’s Process, the method for “isolating a virus”. Taking fluid from a person you believe has the virus, mixing it with several different animal genetic material, growing it on a monkey kidney, adding antibiotics and toxins to the culture, starving the culture, blending it and freezing it, then looking under a microscope and claiming one of the things you view is the virus - is preposterous. What you see is most likely an exosome released by cells under stress or detoxing (what a virus actually is), or simply an artifact.
