Just to get it on the record here, I would ask everyone to review Koch's Postulates, which are relative to virology and germ theory. However, there's a certain approach I would suggest you adopt when you study the topic.
First, look at the four postulates themselves and see if you understand them and if they make sense. I suspect they will, and indeed they are something you might have thought up yourself given enough time and attention.
Second, if you have the stomach for it, review the extremely voluminous explanations and rationale as to why each and every one of these postulates doesn't apply, or is satisfied without actually being satisfied, or is no good, or sucks, or why don't you just stop worrying about it and go on your way because this is all over your head.
Realize that in almost a century and a half, Koch's Postulates have never once been satisfied as stated by any proposed infectious virus. You may come to your own conclusions after this course of study.
