I’m still not there. I’ve heard compelling narratives but evidence for or against this is super difficult. It seems to me the viral theory is incredibly compelling based on how diseases travel, their severity, and the conditions that lead or attribute to their spread.

I’m open to the argument because everything at that scale is literally *inferred.* it’s not that we can just go looking at a drop of blood and count the virus like it’s bacteria under a microscope. It’s SO tiny and so dispersed that you basically see nothing. That realization, that many of these theories are really built upon inferences and responses to indicate the presence of something (kinda like how we “see” black holes by watching the stuff around it), it made me think twice about it, but I can’t really entertain it until I see a lot more evidence.

Might take the time to look into it though if you have a good resource/book/etc to recommend.
