So to be clear, you’re saying a virus can infect you with no symptoms and clog your heart causing you to die of heart attack? No symptoms you say? Just brilliant minds denying ignorance as usual...

The 1918 flu did not effect everyone, some people had resistance to it already. Either by past infections or possibly inherited immunity. Supposedly I have immunity to that disease because my grandfather had it and the immunity was passed on for a few generations. Or maybe there is something in our genetics that makes it hard for us to catch or we have asymptomatic cases. Who knows.
If they tried to infect people with the virus that had natural protection, they wouldn't get that virus....or show symptoms of it anyway.
Most of what we experience with a virus is caused by our immune system throwing chemicals at it. You can have a virus and have no symptoms, but it can just clot your blood and cause a stroke or heart attack. Same with a bacterial infection, people usually respond differently, sometimes people do not get an infection while others can die from it.

What about brewing alcohol? Or fermentation in general... You're the one claiming things, explain them.
There's 1000's of examples of actual working real life applications that laugh in the face of your silly conspiracy.

Food for thought.
is a virus an artifact of some other process?
sometimes appearances and looks can be deceiving....

I believe you.
There are viral sized objects and contaminates in our bodies....
Hint.....there are naturally occurring viral sized contaminates in our bodies....small bits of dead inert RNA/DNA that have been surrounded and coated or "encapsulated" by Antibodies forming wee little GARBAGE BAGS that our body naturally disposes of. We cannot "catch" dead inert RNA/DNA from each other.
Hint.... there are viral sized invaders that can get into us via our food chain ... these invaders are Pleomorphic Bacteria that are not dead and inert but are alive and actively polluting the body 24/7/365.....we CAN CATCH living viral sized bacteria coated with a lipid fat protective layer that fools our own antibodies and allows them to survive for defined time periods outside the body and outside fluidic conduits.

Dr. Fauci says they're contagious and there's nothing we can do about it. Even the Covid-19 vaccine isn't a cure. Just a symptom reliever.

So when we talk about “communicable diseases”, are you saying it’s just all bacteria? I’m not reading scientific data from 100 years ago. No offense. We just come a bit further in the last century on medical advances and all....
Viruses do not live
Viruses are exclusive intrinsic parasites, meaning that they are not “alive” when outside the body of a living organism. They are like a piece of meat: nucleic acids, proteins, lipids, water, etc. It is of major importance since, unlike bacteria that live and multiply in the environment, viruses cannot reproduce themselves. One virus out of a sick person is only one virus in the environment.
Viruses do not fly
Viruses do not have wings, legs or arms. They cannot move in the environment they were expelled in. If they want to contaminate someone, they need to rely on the host to touch a contaminated surface and bring the hand to a sensitive area (mainly mouth, nose or eyes). They can also trigger expelling symptoms such as cough to spread more easily and increase the chance to reach a new host. The SARS-CoV 2 virus responsible for CoVID-19 (CoronaVirus Disease 2019) does not spread in the air nor in the water.
Coronaviruses are fragile
Coronaviruses are surrounded by a lipidic envelope to protect them outside of the body. This envelope is really fragile and highly sensitive to detergent, such as soap or hydroalcoholic gel. Its lipidic components also make it sensitive to oxidation from the air. External proteins (known as spikes) that allow the virus to enter the cells are also very sensitive in the environment especially to warm temperature. Based on that, scientists consider the virus not viable after only 3 hours in the environment. Some papers mention higher survival rate (a few days) but they are based on detection of nucleic acids, which are not infectious when amputated from the envelope or spikes.
Barrier measures are efficient
Based on the three previous facts, we can efficiently protect ourselves and others from contamination with very simple measures:
Wash your hands regularly and efficiently with soap or hydroalcoholic gel: this will destroy the envelope of the virus and then you will not be prone to contaminate yourself by transferring the virus from your hands to your face.
Cough or sneeze into your elbow: you will then limit the spread into the environment and as you usually do not do so many things with your elbow you will not contaminate your environment (remember viruses do not fly, climb or walk on your clothes).
Avoid any physical contact outside of your close family circle: the virus is kind of “sticky”. If you remove physical contact such as handshakes, hugs, etc., you will remove a major contamination path of the virus.
Keep at least at 1 meter (~3 feet) between people:the coronavirus is mainly expelled by cough, sneeze and splutters. Fortunately, the mucus particles in which the virus is concentrated and protected are quite heavy and generally do not fall beyond 1 meter of distance from the mouth. If you keep at this distance from each other, you should be protected.
Use single-use tissues: it would be bad if you keep a collection of viruses protected in their mucus in your pocket. Viruses are not recommended as companion animals. Throw them away immediately!
Limit any movement to the strict minimum: social distancing has been proven as the most effective measure to contain viral spreads. Stay home as much as possible, postpone any family visit or event and do not gather with friends. It is a citizen’s responsibility to protect the weakest of our societies.
Be wary of fake news

Why do fungi have antibacterial properties?
Please explain meningitis and the various types that would indicate viral, bacterial or viral infection.
gondii parasite and Alzheimer's disease, the most common form of dementia today. The study focused on mice, some that were infected with the parasite and others that were altered to create an Alzheimer's disease model.
About one-third of people worldwide are suspected of having a T. gondii infection, and many more are at risk. This includes cat owners, who don’t wash their hands thoroughly after handling contaminated litter, and pregnant women, who can pass the infection to a child in the womb.
Once infection occurs, the parasite moves to the brain. Symptoms can vary widely, with some people revealing no outward signs of infection and others becoming acutely ill and showing behavioral and body-chemical changes that mimic schizophrenia.

You left out parasites, of you look into it and the fact that they are easily fought it will maybe stun you. Such an easy method of bio terrorism also and it can create a multitude of symptoms. All you need is to weaken a person since most have potentially harmful parakites already waiting.

Clearly a thinker you might enjoy this and yes it is still in context in my opinion.
