Germ theory has been around since the fraud Louis Pasteur, but it’s never been proven. After the Spanish Flu, they tried to make well people sick by exposing them to sick people’s mucus, and they were not able to make even one person sick.
After 160 years, germ theory is still just a theory!

Then why are people getting sick, for fuck sakes we're in the middle of PANDEMIC!
Also we can see the germs now, via microscopic technology, besides it makes more sense then what we used to think makes people sick, but you think that bad air makes people sick rather then a virus don't you?
Oh wait...
Zinnia: "Viruses are just protiens we have in our bloodstream. They aren't pathogens, they aren't "alive" they don't eat, defecate, or reproduce. There's no proof they cause disease. "
…The sheer depths(*) of human stupidity somehow still ceases to amaze me. In a horrifying way, mind you.
(*)And by that I mean an abyss of unintelligence so dark and deep it puts the supermassive black hole in the center of our galaxy to shame.
If this experience was real then how old was this mucus?
On the other hand, we have plenty of experiences telling about how organisms became ill after being exposed to pathogens.
Even before Pasteur, people noticed being near someone contagious was bad (see how the Leviticus ordered lepers to be secluded until a priest checked whether they were ill).
After 160 years, germ theory is still just a theory! ...then go have a Stanley Cup-winning game of Tonsil Hockey with Bozo the Clown currently in self -isolation in the apartment above No. 11*, OP.
We'll wait.
*- As Nos. 10-12 Downing Street are interconnected - with very narrow corridors which make Social Distancing impossible - and as past PMs have realised that the apartment above the Chancellor's residence is larger than that for the Prime Minister, then the latter stays there.

Strange thing is that’s even partly right. No, viruses aren’t alive, they are only strings of DNA, which themselves can infiltrate a cell nucleus and implant that DNA. They do not eat, they do not defecate, and they do not reproduce themselves, but rather hijack actual living organisms to do it.
But, they are pathogens, that cause illness because they are altering the DNA of our cells, and changing how they function, often to our detriment. The infected cells also come under attack by our own immune system, damaging the tissues that they compose, and hence damaging the organ.
So yeah, got a part of it right, and then she missed completely the more important aspects of what a virus is and what it does.
And I really hope that wasn’t our Zinnia!
That’s nice…Here’s a glass of unpasteurized milk straight from the udder and this really cute mask…image
We’ll check up on you later (while you’re barfing, sneezing, wheezing and fused to the toilet) and ask, “Still a theory, huh?”.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
