I get a strong truth vibe from it, to be honest. Like lots of people get headaches. Whenever I get one, its because I've been on TV too much, or not drinking enough water, or not getting enough sleep. The headache is not something we "get," its our bodies way of addressing harm we have caused it. And what if that's what all sickness is? That to me seems logical. It doesn't automatically mean viruses are a lie, but the possibility is very sensible to me.
So then you look at viruses. Where's the proof they exist, or that they cause illness and are contagious? Well, if you read their studies purporting to isolate a virus, its 2 pages of unreadable technical jargon. Impossible for a layman to even know the definitions of 100s of words used without extensive training. Seriously, try reading them. The paper us easy enough to read at first, but the moment they describe Isolating The Virus, you will no longer know the definitions of any words. It is impossible to read without extensive training.
That gives me a pattern recognition ping. Things that are true tend to be easily explainable much of the time. It reminds me of economics. Free market, Austrian economics- very clear, very easy to understand, easy to see the truth of it. Keynesian economics- overly complicated, full of jargon, full of unintuitive processes we are just "not educated enough to understand." Trust the experts, trust Paul Krugman. And of course the government benefits greatly from the ideas of Keynesianism, just as they and big pharma benefit from complicated germ theory.
All of this being said, you might be right. It might be propaganda meant to make us look dumb. Frankly, due to the impossibility of really reading and understanding the scientific literature, my fallback stance is to say "I don't know." Which is exactly my stance on Flat Earth.
Flat Earth- simple, intuitive, lots of easy to understand analysis. Round Earth- complicated, full of technical jargon, "you aren't educated enough to understand, trust NASA." I see lots of similarities here.
Since I can't determine if its my own lack of intelligence/education, or if something more sinister is happening, i lean on saying I do not know. But I no longer accept germ theory as a 100% given.

So then you look at viruses. Just because headaches don't spread doesn't mean viruses aren't real. So where's the proof.
