If you are at the point where you are ready to seriously consider the existence of viruses, check out this excellent piece by the late Shawn Siegel. It quickly drives the point home that virology is pseudoscience, as seen in the unscientific methods employed in virus isolation.
Below are some excerpts. (But you are also wondering, “If virology is a scam, why does contagion appear to exist?” This piece addresses that question.) This article gets to the point quickly, and does not encumber the reader with fancy scientific terms.
Since the turn of the 20th century, when the virus theory was first conceived, researchers have been performing lab experiments purporting to prove that viruses cause disease, that they’re pathogens. In those procedures virologists have taken a sample of bodily fluid from someone diagnosed with a viral disease and added it to a cellular substrate, along with a variety of other additives (e.g., antibiotics, anti-fungals, vero (monkey kidney) cells and more). After a period of time damage to the cells (cytopathic effect) was observed and offered as proof of the harmful effect, the pathogenicity, of the virus.
But going squarely against sound scientific principles, none of those experiments included controls. Virtually universally*, the researchers seemingly, simply, illogically ignored the possibility that the resultant damage could have been caused not by the virus, but by one or more of the additives, or perhaps other cells or subcellular bodies found in the samples taken from patients. Virologist Dr. Stefan Lanka, skeptical of the science, performed a control of his own. He repeated one of the experiments exactly, except he omitted the viral sample. Yet after the allotted period of time he found the same cellular damage that in the original experiment was offered as proof that the virus caused disease.
In other words, lacking controls, none of the many similar lab experiments claiming to show proof that viruses cause disease do anything of the kind.
