>At best there are like 2 people who share your views here
A million people believing a wrong thing is still a wrong thing.
>scientifically illiterate midwits
Is that why you can't counter any argument and solely rely on logical fallacies? I literally copy and paste virology's own studies and use their methods against you, showing their flaws and why they're hilariously false. But you're too "scientifically illiterate midwit" to understand it lmao
>See what responses you'll get
I don't really care what responses I get. I only care that I do and speak what's right and true. Just because you and most other retards are too "scientifically illiterate midwit" to understand basic science doesn't mean I am. This is another logical fallacy, by the way. You want an example of how I can use one against you? "You sound just like a holocaust believer, following whatever the popular opinion and authority says is true."

Yes, and a minority of people believing a wrong thing is still a wrong thing too.
Your issue is merely that your side has people like... you, and the other side has also has various high-IQ people, engineers, scientists and geniuses. If you'd take the top 1000 smartest people in the world, 100% of them would oppose you.
Here's a clarification from Gemini:
- General Population: Approximately 1% to 2% of people in Western/European nations firmly believe the Earth is flat (though some polls show an additional 5% to 7% express general skepticism or uncertainty about scientific consensus).
- Top 1000 Smartest: 0. Believing in a flat Earth requires rejecting fundamental principles of physics, geometry, satellite data, and observable navigation. Anyone qualifying as one of the world's top intellectual or practical minds would inherently understand and accept the overwhelming empirical evidence of a spherical Earth.
> I don't really care what responses I get.
I know. Smart people would care if they appear like clowns and idiots to others. If I'd say stupid things, I'd be completely humbled and silenced. But alas, I can stand up for everything I claim and provide reasoning.

I can just pull up Gemini for it because I do not care. Here:
We know viruses exist with 100% absolute certainty. The evidence is empirical, reproducible, and foundational to modern biology.
- Direct Visual Proof: We don't just guess they are there; we can see them. Electron microscopy (developed in the 1930s) allows scientists to take incredibly detailed photographs of viral particles, like the distinct "corona" (crown) of coronaviruses or the spaceship-like structure of bacteriophages.
- Genetic Sequencing: Viruses have their own distinct DNA or RNA. We can isolate this genetic material, sequence it, and track how it mutates over time. This genetic code is completely separate from the host organism's DNA.
- Isolation and Cultivation: In laboratories, viruses can be isolated from a sick patient, purified, and grown in cell cultures. When introduced to healthy cells, they reproduce and cause the exact same disease patterns, fulfilling rigorous scientific protocols (like Rivers' modifications of Koch's postulates).
- Crystalline Structure: Viruses can be purified and crystallized (first done with the Tobacco Mosaic Virus in 1935). X-ray crystallography allows scientists to map their exact atomic structure.

Signed, not a flat-earther.
