Episode notes
Science Requires Falsifiable Claims
- Science is about falsifying claims, not accepting beliefs without proof.
- If a claim can't be falsified, it's a belief, not science.
No Isolation Proves No Virus
- Viruses are claimed to be physical particles with specific traits but no one has isolated them in bodily fluids.
- If you can't isolate the claimed particle, its existence is highly questionable.

- Polio virus 'isolation' involved injecting filtered spinal tissue into monkeys causing illness.
- Similar effects were seen with non-diseased tissue, proving the method didn't isolate a virus.
