You keep having to lie to support your "point"
For example, you say "You seem to think that people who travel on cruises just have bad luck and get norovirus because they are unlucky."
there's no basis for saying that is there?
It's just stuff you made up isn't it?


The amount of sickness on a cruise ship is greater than off cruise ships. Therefore, there is something that's occurring during a cruise which is causing this excessive sickness. That's why they need a separate disease name to cover this particular anomaly. (norovirus) I have been on a cruise and seen with my own eyes the debauched life style, too much alcohol and excessive gluttony. 'Stomach flu' ?????????????? lol What a joke the medical system is! They just make this stuff up to protect the cruise ships from litigation. Wash those hands nincompoops! lol! It will do you no good if you eat crap! lol! You can wash your hands a thousand times and you will still get sick if you eat crappy food.

"Can't you put two and two together and see that there is a pattern here? Bad diet, lack of exercise, constantly drinking alcohol, too much grain, sugar and dairy all add up to sickness and leaky gut syndrome "
I can put two and two together.
Since the doctors are not involved in the drinking etc and yet they still get sick the cause cannot possibly be due to the drink + overeating so it must be something else- like an infection.

You obviously haven't watched a single episode of 'The Love Boat'. 'Doc' was a serial womanizer and reveler in all the excesses that go on in a cruise ship. lol

Get a life moron!

You entirely missed the point that the doctors- who are not drinking and overeating etc also get sick.
That's because it's an infection.

Do you have any evidence? Answer - No! Obviously! lol! What a joke you are!

lol....

More than enough contrasting evidence has been presented.

Evidence is only valuable to those who can comprehend it.

You have [zero] evidence to support your opinion and it's quite obvious "you still have a long, long way to go"

Unanswered questions -

1. Where do viruses go to when they are not infecting people?

2. There is no description of what part of the body this is.

3. There are no distinguishing features which tell us that these are HIV viruses.

4. How can you distinguish or know that a virus is budding or not budding?

5. How can something that requires the internal mechanisms of a cell to grow; suddenly grow, outside of a cell environment?

6. There are no exterior receptor nodules which are apparent in the text (digital) diagrams.

Yes, there is something different about a cruise ship- lots of people in a small space which promotes the spread of an infectious agent.

"The Love Boat" is not real- did you think it was a documentary or something?
If you have to resort to pretending that is evidence you have pretty much admitted that you know that you are wrong.
Calling me a moron doesn't make you any less of a fool.
I have a life thanks- it doesn't involve saying stuff that's plainly untrue on web sites.

Dodge, weave, evade, misinterpret, divert, insult, deny and deceive. These are the stock and trade of the medical establishment supporters. Still 6 questions unanswered.

Pointing out that your "reference"  "the love boat" is a made-up story is not dodging, evasion or whatever.
Not addressing the fact that doctors  (and others) who are not drinking or eating to excess, also get sick is evasion.

As for your 6 questions- why should I even bother to address them.
The first  couple don't even make sense.
Why assume the virus has to "go" somewhere?
" There is no description of what part of the body this is."
What body part are you talking about?

"There are no distinguishing features which tell us that these are HIV viruses."
Yes there is- they were cultured  + DNA typed.

"How can you distinguish or know that a virus is budding or not budding?"

You seem not to have noticed that was already answered Here's Exothermic's reply again for you
""Virion morphogenesis can be divided into three stages: assembly, wherein the virion is created and essential components are packaged; budding, wherein the virion crosses the plasma membrane and obtains its lipid envelope; and maturation, wherein the virion changes structure and becomes infectious." http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3385941/"

"How can something that requires the internal mechanisms of a cell to grow; suddenly grow, outside of a cell environment?"
It doesn't.
Nobody said it did.
That's another lie you made up.

"There are no exterior receptor nodules which are apparent in the text (digital) diagrams."
That's because they are very small- which is obvious if you actually learn about them.

By the way, I think this finally nails your naive idea that it's caused by modern unhealthy lifestyle choices.

The Love Boat TV series is based on real life confessions of cruise liner crew who submit stories about things that they have witnessed and seen. It is not entirely fantasy. There are plenty of elements of truth which the series reveals about what goes on behind the scenes on a typical cruise liner.

Quote
As for your 6 questions- why should I even bother to address them.

I can understand your reluctance to want to answer the questions because they show the illogical nature of viral theory. Note - There are no proper answers to these questions because I already know there are no viruses. Thus, any answers that you come up with will have to be completely made up nonsense and scientific fraud. But, I can see that you have been brainwashed by the system into accepting there existence. Note - To become a chemist, you must accept a large volume of nonsense science to pass the exams.

Quote

It is the science community that insists that viruses "attack" us poor humans. Thus, in order to "attack", you must first be outside of the human body. Thus, if you are outside of the human body you must be hiding somewhere. Thus, the question. Where are the viruses hiding? Note - Your reference regards a nunnery states that the norovirus was an infection that came from exterior sources. (food or water supply)



Quote
" There is no description of what part of the body this is."
What body part are you talking about?


You are supposed to tell me. How can I know what part. You have supplied the evidence which doesn't have any description of the methods by which the sample was obtained.

Quote
"There are no distinguishing features which tell us that these are HIV viruses."
Yes there is- they were cultured  + DNA typed.

The methods of measuring viruses are very dubious. Note - It was found that in Japan where there is no HIV. That after testing people for for HIV in Japan, that 25 % of the population was HIV positive. Pure nonsense! lol!

Quote
"How can you distinguish or know that a virus is budding or not budding?"

The reference that you have supplied states that the virus matures outside of the host cell. It states that the virus is not mature when it comes out of the cell because it is not budding yet. Note - Viral theory states that a virus requires the internal mechanism of a living cell to reproduce itself. But, your reference contradicts this basic concept by stating that the virus is not yet mature after exiting the cell. Basic logic or a lack thereof I believe. lol

Quote
"How can something that requires the internal mechanisms of a cell to grow; suddenly grow, outside of a cell environment?"

The virus is outside of the cell and is "not budding". Therefore, that makes you the liar!

Quote
"There are no exterior receptor nodules which are apparent in the text (digital) diagrams."

Funny, I can see them clearly in the textbook digital version of a virus? But, whenever I see a photograph of an electron microscope version, they are missing. Note- When a blood cell is stressed by a polluted environment it becomes spiky and looks looks like what a virus is supposed to look like. (whatever that is) lol Hmmmmmmmmmmm............. must be just a strange conincidence, eh? lol!

This is just hearsay evidence and has no scientific basis. So they all ate the same garbage or rotten food and got sick. Thus, my theory still stands. You must supply an example where food contamination is not the cause. Also, they must not consume any grain, sugar, dairy or alcohol to qualify to be exempt from my theory. Do you have any proof of this?
Your only possible answer - I have no proof and was just trying to bluff you as I always do. lol

Can you show me a photo of a spiky red blood cell next to a virus so that I can see the difference. This shouldn't be too hard to do considering that viruses invade the blood supply. lol Good luck! lol!

There will be no pictures of virus emerging from red blood cells as they don't have a nucleus : no DNA inside. So viruses cannot be made by a red blood cells.

Viruses can be made by white blood cells, you've already seen pictures of that in this thread.
Here's a link to more such images ... http://www.sciencephoto.com/search?subtype=keywords&searchstring=lymphocyte+virus+-illustration

Red & white blood cells are about the same size ...

Please state -

1. Method used in obtaining photos

2. Size scale in nm

3. Explain how you get a photo from an electron microscope of an ejecting virus from a T - cell. Seems very improbable to me, having worked in an electron microscope unit myself.

4. Why aren't they ejecting from a normal cell? Is that because only T-Cells eject?

Thyrogobulin Endocytosis - Note - Same picture as your picture but of hormone excretion. lol!
