That's like saying that because 0 : 0 is undefined, we shouldn't use algebra or math at all. But the fact is, math is proven to work in various real-life matters. Computers are a prime example where math is manifested into programs, which do fulfill their purpose (entertainment, education, work), so discarding math will help us how exactly? It doesn't.
Just as discarding well established, reproducible medical knowledge is idiotic as well. Often we have to rely on theories because things cannot be measured, but they prove themselves by *working* as expected as useful.
I can look up a map and decide to walk exactly north, and hoping that the map is correct and I end up where I wanted to. A map is also just a "model" of reality, and if it works, it means that system with maps does work.
As of vaccines, it's somewhat uncertain. The Covid vaccines are guaranteed to be bullshit, but the others are unclear. Just as they assume it's working, the other side assumes they are not. Both have countless reasoning on their side that have merit. Only results crossing decades or even centuries can show who's right. I do not blame anyone for any decision, but going feral over this is silly.
As of viruses, sometimes I have been infected and been sick, and it effectively only takes time until my body fixes it. So clearly I have some system that does it - let's call it "immune system." And whatever made me sick couldn't be easily cured with medicine, just as my toothache could be with antibiotics. Instead I had to make sure my body doesn't kill me in the process (high fever).
So what else should I have done? Pray? Touch MORE grass? Be healthier and not get sick? Avoid people who are sick but don't show it? To be fair, still better advice than what medicine has to offer: Just wait and get over it.
People often experience immune system dysfunction after infections, even minor, in which benign proteins are targeted by the body. Artificial pathogens are no different.
Why reach for complicated, synthetic explanations when the simple one is right in front of you?
Its like you are found at a crime scene with the criminals so the police arrest everyone including you because you were there.
