I just checked and the link no longer goes to your comment. There are people who are so invested in the virus narrative they don't want to spend time digging into the assumptions that underpin that narrative. Malone, McCullough, Bigtree, Kennedy et al don't want to go there for various reasons. It is quite a paradigm shift from Germ to Terrain and many people are not going to do it. It is an emotional shift, not just a logical one. When one is invested in a paradigm, it takes energy to investigate, learn, and reformulate one's worldview in light of new information. It is also a maturing process to move from falsity to truth. It is easier to just let the experts give you the world view.

Some of those mentioned above think the better strategy is to defeat the current quackcines and then move on to quackcines in general. They don't want to 'lose people' by becoming virus deniers. They have a point to some degree, but on the other hand, if we don't go deeper, i.e. is virology valid, then we are susceptible to the nonsense we see going on.

The general public is not interested in the minutiae of virology, they just want to get on with their lives. There is also a strong need to have alternate explanations, i.e. if contagion doesn't explain disease, what does?

There are also people who support the idea of germ theory and terrain theory as both being true to some degree. There are some who say viruses exist, but are helpers, not invaders.

One of the problems is we are trying to understand biological processes that happen on micro or even nano levels and we cannot observe them directly, which leads to a lot of inference which leads to misinterpretation.

Engaging with some writers, as you did with eugippius leads to them closing the door on discussion and even locking it so you can't get back in. For some there will be no way to reach. For others, perhaps questions are a better way to go, rather than direct statements that are taken as confrontational and not worth their time.

Since these people dont wish to listen or learn, they are likely operatives sent to quelch certain challenges to the official narrative.
