THE ORIGINS OF THE "VIRUS" IDEA

Dear forum readers and contributors,
As I find myself "imprisoned in Italy under martial law" due to the current Coronavirus/COVID-19 mass hysteria, I have used the extra time enabled by this forced and prolonged house arrest (imposed on the entire Italian populace) to dig a little deeper into the fields of medicine and biology - or more specifically - into the historical "blunders" of the same. So far, I think that our efforts on this ten-year-old research forum have amply demonstrated that virtually every field of science on this planet has been arrogated, commandeered, corrupted and distorted by the "Nutwork" clowns (a.k.a. the "Powers that be") for their nefarious agendas of mass control.
Medicine and biology are, of course, no exceptions to this ruthless rule - and I trust everyone is fully aware of this fact. What I find interesting however, is how little most people know about the foul machinations concocted and perpetrated throughout the centuries by the Nutwork's psychopaths - what with their use of pseudoscientific "medical advances" to inflict psychological terror and distress (and even direct / or undirect mass murder) onto the unsuspecting passengers of this planet. Accordingly, the Nutwork has been virulently (pun intended) promoting to universal fame a long series of fraudsters (e.g. Pasteur, Koch, Salk, Gallo - to name but a few) who have thus been elevated via pure propaganda-power to the status of "untouchable science icons". Anyone who dares question these "heavy-weights of healing" is, of course, quickly derided and dismissed (in academic circles and by the general, gullible public) as a "crank" - unworthy of any credibility whatsoever. I believe the time has come to pay more attention to what those "dissenters" of mainstream medicine & biology have to say. I encourage everyone to help me out in the search of such dissenters - as they are (naturally) pretty hard to come by - much like needles in a haystack!
NOTE: This thread should be exclusively (or as much as possible) and specifically dedicated to scientific discussions related to the entity known as a "VIRUS", that is to say: its historical background and purported means of discovery, the academically-accepted notions of its biological nature, the theories surrounding its alleged faculties of aerobic transmission - and all the way to the extant evidence in support of (or in conflict with) its very existence.

As my first contribution to this thread, I would like to introduce you to the work of an extremely knowledgeable and eloquent German gentleman, Dr. Stefan Lanka.

In fact, I will go as far as issuing a mandatory requirement to anyone wishing to contribute to this thread to set aside 42 minutes of their lives to watch Dr. Lanka's superbly articulate presentation of his findings concerning the so-called Infection Theory. You won't regret it, I promise you. This soft-spoken biologist/virologist will lead you through an absolutely fascinating "holistic" journey into the scientific and historical aspects surrounding the origins of the "VIRUS" idea :

Here's my personal favourite quote from the above video, as it neatly puts into perspective the current situation - what with the global "Coronavirus" hoax achieving what the combined military armed forces of this planet could never dream to achieve: the total paralysis of the world's population, without firing a single shot - AND WITH THE EXTRA BONUS OF A HAPPY AND SUBMISSIVE COMPLIANCE OF THE GENERAL PUBLIC - "SO AS TO DEFEAT THE DEADLY (yet invisible) VIRUS" !


May reason ultimately prevail.
