I didn’t drop Koch’s postulate, I said it didn’t apply. It doesn’t apply because viruses require cells to replicate - meaning you camt culture them the way you can bacteria - and given that his rules predate the discovery of viruses - it’s kind of fair.
What you’re doing, is the text book reply of a pseudoscientist, you cite out of date science when you feel it agrees with you, then find whatever nonsensical and incoherent reason you can think of to dismiss the genuine rebuttal.
No, Koch’s rules don’t apply to viruses. If you think they should, you’re an idiot. If you feel me referencing Koch directly is “dropping it”, then you’re a special type of idiot.
Now, given this entire thread is made up of your hasty generalization, and your tenuous over assertion that small individual factoids demonstrate grand schemes and patterns - your second point is like most else - made up.
To prove Spanish flu was caused by hospital intervention a you have to demonstrate a clear correlation between hospital stay, vaccination, illness, death. You don’t do that, because you’re making things up, and when you do this analysis it will refute your position. Instead, you’re forced to do what you’re doing now, taking individual points that demonstrate tiny examples, and the. Extrapolate them to wild conditions.
This is another example of you incoherently throwing out any random fact you feel agrees with you, without any factual or logical basis for those claims.
Now, as you’ve been repeatedly ignoring the key facts that refute your position, let me reiterate the core facts and evidence that refute your position so you don’t have to go back through all the posts you ignored:
So as I keep pointing out: diet is wholly insufficient to explain any viral or bacterial disease.
For example, for the disease of Spanish Flu. You claimed it was caused by dietary problems caused by food shortages. However:
1.) There have been multiple flu outbreaks over the last 130 years that were not associated with any food shortages. Why did these happen?
2.) North America, and parts of the world not affected by food shortages still suffered.
3.) There were food shortages in 1916 and 1917 prior to the outbreak, and severe food problems during WW1 for the troops - yet these were not major years, or major groups who were victims of the Spanish flu.
4.) The flu disproportionately killed the health and young, rather than specifically old or inform groups.
Summary: You continually claim flu is caused by diet: but there is absolutely no correlation between who died, who got sick, and what diet that they had. None at all. As a result, your claims are nonsensical and incoherent.
In terms of Malaria:
You claim Malaria is down to vitamin D insufficiency - as is Rickets.
1.) Rickets still occurs in people who don’t leave the county in places like Sweden, Canada, and the UK: Malaria does not.
2.) Malaria is physically limited to specific geographical regions, and people who have travelled to them.
3.) Incidence of Rickets does not appear to correlate to incidence of Malaria in any way, shape or form.
4.) The idea that everyone who catches malaria has less vitamin D, whereas everyone outside this are gets plenty of Vitamin D - except for the people who travel and catch Malaria - who must have fine vitamin D, and then have poor vitamin D intake for a few days - and this is enough - Is utterly nonsensical.
5.) Having a mosquito net has a major predictive factor in determining who gets Malaria.
Summary: You claim malaria is caused by diet: but there is absolutely no correlation between who catches malaria and diet, and the major facts and evidence about Malaria just cannot be explained diet.
Moving on to small pox.
1.) People still have bad diets - they don’t catch smallpox any more.
2.) Eradication of smallpox coincided with immunization - not dietary improvements.
3.) People with good diets and poor diets caught small pox.
4.) You claim small pox and flu are caused by lack of vitamin c. People still catch the flu.
5.) people who caught cow pox didn’t catch small pox.
6.) people didn’t catch smallpox twice - even though their diet didn’t improve.
Summary: claims that smallpox was due to diet are made up and are directly refuted by evidence and analysis.
