Correct! This is almost word for word what was written in one of my books. If you can’t isolate the virus, then the cause of illness shouldn’t be the virus. It should be those factors that bill mentioned. I believe those would be considered the independent variables. In animal studies, you can manipulate those factors and see if there is a cause and effect relationship. If you can’t isolate the virus, then how would you even expose someone to it?
We should be able to find it, period. We should be able to isolate it (and replicate that isolation), and then use it in experiments - without other agents that are known to be toxic to animals - and reliably create infection or symptoms in other organisms.

And if not, then we should really turn our focus not to infectious agents but to the immune system.

Yes
The book - is it Virus Mania? I have it but haven't read it yet
No it’s goodbye germ theory
