Are Viruses Real?

The last user who asked this question here was a self-confessed gay man who was into orgies and denied viruses existed as a cope for AIDS.

No shit viruses are real, because it's the single best explanation for what we see and we can genetically modify them. You know, just like COVID-19 is a genetically modified frankenvirus created in the Wuhan Lab using blueprints by Ralph Baric and funding by Peter Daszak and Tony Fauci, which was then modified again in late 2021 to make a "natural vaccine" strain of the virus which spread ultra-fast but had even lower death rate.

There has been discussion of this over the years. More recently, with COVID denialism, they basically claim virology is BS. Is this true? I want to see a debate.

Is herpes real? Can you see the sores and transmission to others? Sure you can't see direct effect of HIV, but there are other viral things too...
 
Of course they are. How else do you explain this?

I agree that I don't think they're real. I lick every dollar bill I handle (i like the aftertaste) and I haven't even come close to dying!

Well...who says they are real?

Oh, right, the same people who are importing shitskins and kids can consent to tranny surgery
 
I’ve heard this one before and my usual response is to ask about bacteriophage.
Yes viruses are real.

I love viruses, they are one of the most perfect things on the planet, not alive, and yet can cripple nations and destroy entire civilizations, just amazingly created specks. They are fascinating, and 100% real.

Yea they are real but science is a joke and can't figure out exactly how they work. They straddle the line between a parasite and its own class. It acts intelligently (causes illnesses that helps its spread and reproduction) but it is not alive itself.

The conspiracy theory of "viruses aren't real" was created by the glowies to lead anti vaxx groups on a wild goose chase/discredit them so more people wouldn't find out Corona was manufactured and the vaccine is tainted.

Midwit comments like this are why questions like the one from OP persist.
A sperm cell is 600 times larger than a virus. A sperm cell is easily observable with regular optical microscopy, while a virus is not.
There’s currently no technology that allows us to zoom in on a virus and watch it in action.

It’s simple why viruses are a good model: it works. If you don't have a better model, then no one cares what you choose to believe.

Yes, viruses are real and we know how they work, and we know their structural makeup. You can take apart a virus, and you can add new bits to it, and you can predict how those new bits change it. The fact that we can make alterations, make predictions on the outcome of those alterations, and be correct, means that the virus exists. You can even zoom in on a virus and you can see it using a very special form of microscopy that doesn't rely on light.

Mere observing a thing directly, is not particularly useful in figuring out what it is, and how it does it's thing.

It'll set your clocks back an hour and start clogging the shower
So just trash it now, or else it will
Decide to give you a permanent wedgie,
Legally change your name to Reggie,
Even mess up the pH balance in your pool
It's gonna melt your face right off your skull

(Look out!)
And make you physically attracted to sheep

Know it's a joke, but some genius in ancient times made this argument (anticipating microbiology by over a thousand years).

Bugs eat bugs, right?
And we can barely see gnats (and some people don't have good enough eyesight to even see those).
So what do gnats eat?
Das rite
