No reasonable reply - Thus, still false. Providing a bigger picture (enlarged) which doesn't include a size scale is still unscientific nonsense.

rofl.... Ever hear of the nanometer scale genius?

* note the 100 nm at the bottom right corner *

Oh and viruses average around 30-50 nm

So, you added a scale which wasn't there before. Good Photoshop skills. I congratulate you! Soooooooooorrrrrrry.............. but the horse has already bolted! lol

I didn't "add" anything to the picture and nobody photoshopped it either rofl.....

If you would like to take issue with the credibility of the picture, perhaps you should contact CDC/ C. Goldsmith, P. Feorino, E. L. Palmer, & W. R. McManus.

You still have a long, long way to go.

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.

Note - The electron microscope is hopeless at photographing soft squishy objects such as cells. Its only practical application is for hard materials such as rock or metallic objects.

The fact remains that grain, sugar, alcohol and dairy cause 98 % of all disease. Just take away these unnecessary products and you can stop most diseases. Wake up to the scam!

" No size scale indicated - Thus - False"
If I showed you a picture of a man with a mouse in his hand and said that the man was bigger than the mouse would you say that isn't true because he is not holding a ruler?
The size is indicated by the presence of a cell in the picture. The virus particles are about a thousand times smaller.
did you not understand that?

Still no size scale! - Thus false. Unscientific idiotic nonsense! To be a scientist, you MUST use scientific methodologies. The reason they keep omitting size scale references is because they are committing a fraud and don't want to get caught!

Quote
"Has never been duplicated in a petri dish using a medium from to separate individuals."
Yes it has. In particular with Norovirus because it's difficult to culture ( a recent breakthrough means they no longer have to use human volunteers.
https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2016/08/160825172254.htm

Norovirus - or other wise known as 'cruise ship disease'. People who travel on cruises eat and live like imbeciles with little sleep, too much alcohol, bad diet and very little exercise. Thus, this is the reason that they get sick and has nothing to do with viruses. Again - dairy, sugar and grain the main cause - resulting in leaky gut syndrome.

Quote
" Doesn't have any DNA - Thus - False"
Yes they do. Here's an article about the chickenpox virus genome
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3413377/

The whole virus identification process is a fraud. Separation of similar sized particles in a spinning test tube doesn't equate with a virus. Garbage!


Quote
It seems rude to ask but, do you (ya) have some sort of learning disorder that stops you (ya) understanding things like not needing a scale to see if one thing is bigger than another (punk)?

Well do ya feel lucky punk? Well, do ya? ( Dirty Harry?) lol!

Do you have any more movie equivalent quips?
Setting aside the observation that the picture does have a scale bar- that you didn't notice- you still don't need a ruler to see that a man holding a mouse is bigger than the mouse.



"Norovirus - or other wise known as 'cruise ship disease'. People who travel on cruises eat and live like imbeciles with little sleep, too much alcohol, bad diet and very little exercise. Thus, this is the reason that they get sick "
OK, why do their doctors + nurses- who are not on holiday and don't behave like that- also get sick?
Here's a hint- it's an infectious agent.
Specifically- it's a virus.

"Separation of similar sized particles in a spinning test tube doesn't equate with a virus."
How fortunate that nobody said that it was.
Did you think you were making a point?

Again, things like this
"Well do ya feel lucky punk? Well, do ya? ( Dirty Harry?) lol!

Do you have any more movie equivalent quips?"
leave me wondering if you need help.

Do you realise that, for example, pointing out that the doctors on cruise ships catch norovirus from their patients proves that there's an infectious agent involved. So it' not junk, it is a refutation of your absurd viewpoint.

The reason that people who live together all get sick is because they all do the same stupid things. They all eat the same foods, drink alcohol, no exercise, little sleep, constant air-conditioning and little sunlight. That's the reason. You seem to think that people who travel on cruises just have bad luck and get norovirus because they are unlucky. 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 which allows gut bacteria to enter the blood stream which makes you sick. Then - the stupid medical system blames it on the viruses and not the food and lifestyle. Why? Reason - Because all medical practitioners are frauds and they must disguise the true cause of disease so that people keep getting sick and need more doctors to 'fix' them. Thus, therein lies the scam.

Well, you're certainly entitled to believe what you'd like to. However you're assertion about nobody having ever seen a virus is incorrect. Since viruses as so small they can't be seen with the naked eye. One has to use an electron microscope to see them. For more on this please see the following webpage: http://penpals.web.unc.edu/2013/04/14/what-microscopes-do-you-use-to-see-microbes/

I'm not going to comment on the rest of your post because it would take too much work to correct all of your mistakes, mistakes which are rooting in your lack of knowledge of the relevant sciences.

Your theory is comical at best. Go ahead and provide an explanation as to the etiology and/or pathogenesis of neonatal viral meningitis, or neonatal herpes simplex virus..... since viruses don't exist & all disease is caused by poor diet & lifestyle choices lol

Sorry sir, but is your education that is lacking. I am here to bring you closet dwelling fuddy duddies up to date. The pictures that you have presented are of hormones and are not of viruses. Nice try though! lol!

There is no such thing as viral meningitis.

Drug-induced aseptic meningitis
The incidence of drug-induced meningitis (DIAM) is unknown.(?????????????) (known stupid! lol otherwise you wouldn't be telling us! lol) Many antimicrobials can cause the disorder (e.g., trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole, ciprofloxacin, cephalexin, metronidazole, amoxicillin, penicillin, isoniazid). Other drugs that have been associated with DIAM include NSAIDs, ranitidine, carbamazepine, vaccines against hepatitis B and mumps, immunoglobulins, radiographic agents, and muromonab-CD3.

DIAM may recur with re-exposure to the offending agent. Green et al reported a case of lamotrigine-induced aseptic meningitis, with a second episode on rechallenge with lamotrigine.[5]

The pathogenic mechanisms of DIAM are diverse and presumably differ from drug to drug. There are two proposed mechanisms: direct meningeal irritation by the intrathecal drug and hypersensitivity reactions to the drug (type III and IV). In type III hypersensitivity reactions, the drug or its metabolite forms a complex with antibodies in the serum, in turn activating the complement cascade. In type IV reactions, T helper cells, after previous sensitization, are recruited to the site of inflammation.[6]

DIAM from muromonab (OKT3) is believed to be mediated, at least in part, by cytokine release. Why such reactions are confined selectively to the CSF compartment is unclear.

Aseptic meningitis—along with cerebral vasospasm or ischemic encephalopathy—has been reported with intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIg) therapy.[7] Jarius et al strongly suggest that in vivo activation of TNF-alpha–primed neutrophils by atypical antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibodies (ANCAs) of IVIg may contribute to these side effects.[8]


Thus, I think that you will find that in all cases of prenatal meningitis the mother was given some form of drug which has attacked the nervous system of the baby.

Sure thing.... and unicorns are real.

Quote
Viral meningitis is inflammation of the layers of tissue that cover the brain and spinal cord (meninges) and of the fluid-filled space between the meninges (subarachnoid space). It is caused by viruses.

The most common cause of viral meningitis is Enteroviruses, such as echovirus and coxsackievirus. Enteroviruses tend to reside in the digestive tract. Infections are very contagious.

Other common causes include Herpes simplex virus (HSV), usually type 2 (HSV-2)

Mosquito-borne viruses (called arboviruses), such as West Nile virus, St. Louis encephalitis virus, and California encephalitis virus

Lymphocytic choriomeningitis virus

Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)

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?


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