Great, *something* is there. Well, maybe it's just artifacts. Anyway, is that something exogenous? Does it cause disease?

What do you expect to see on that level? They are 20-400 nm in diameter, meaning 0.02-0.4 µm. Bacteria are 0.2-5.0 µm. The size difference between viruses and bacteria is roughly a factor of 10-100. That's like an ant to an elephant.

Whatever you see at that level of zoom is doomed to be weird. But not random artifacts. [These](https://www.utmb.edu/virusimages/the-virus-images) have visible characteristics and are distinguishable from each other.

Let's just assume they are not just dabbling around like total buffoons and selling you the first image they made. Let's assume there is a solid process behind it to make sure what they conclude is actually valid.

Given that these things can and have been identified, it is safe to assume they are exogenous and not a normal occurrence in a human body.
