[From “Debunking Germ Theory”]
THREE DOCTORS challenge the major tenets of modern virology, the foundation of our ongoing medical tyranny. As Dr. Andrew Kauffman points out, if the dogmas of germ theory are true they will withstand this critique. If they are not true, they must be abandoned no matter how profitable them may be.

the major tenets of modern virology
Wood you say you're a virologist, Laura? Because if you're not, then those who - for very good reasons: as the last year has demonstrated all too graphically, and for 500,000 families in the US alone - don't challenge those tenets would say to you about how infectious Coronavirus really is: keep your fingers crossed.
Science (or medicine, for that matter) is not some unchallengeable orthodoxy. It’s just that most challenges aren’t new, aren’t even new takes on old ideas, don’t work any better than they did decades or centuries ago, and are put forward by people who are quite clearly missing a key bit of understanding or are disregarding it for ideological reasons. It’s just not worth repeatedly entertaining known failures in order to give the appearance of “non-orthodoxy” to bad-faith actors and dunning-kruger exemplars - progress would be slowed to a crawl, and even more ignorance would be gumming up the works of what we do have than is already the case.
“Facts don’t care” is kind of a problematic phrase in the way it’s generally used, but this is a case where it’s reasonable to say “facts don’t care about your pet theory.”
That’s nice, honey. I suppose the next thing you will say is that sharks don’t attack and eat people, challenge the major tenets of after darks, so therefore you will feel safe swimming in open waters in the middle of the night. Just as dangerous a denial these days…but hey, I’m sure three doctors could stitch your wounds at least.

Well, to be fair, sharks are not nearly as dangerous as people assume. They often grab people by mistake, and it is highly unlikely for them to prey on humans. Only about a dozen of the 300 shark species in the world are liable to attack people.
I know it sounds like I’m nitpicking even though you were just giving an example, but I just wanted to point that out.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
