But you believe what I describe as points 1-3?

How is that even possible?

I don't know about your point 1 and 2.

3 Measles kills people. There is a child in West Texas that died recently.

We already know it does not kill everyone but it kills some people. And if it does not kill you, you are sick as hell.

How do you know that the measles-causing microorganism killed the child in West Texas?

The television said so?

The news. Very likely true

That news is very likely true.

How (in general) would you determine that a sub-microscopic entity caused someone to die?

Would you get some of these sub-microscopic entities separate from everything else and then characterize their behavior?

Or would you mix them with lots and lots of other things and assume that whatever happens is because of these sub-microscopic entities?
