Viruses are the Only Non Living Entity Studied in Biology, the Field of Living Things

Does nobody else find it suspicious that biology is the study of living things and there is only one non living entity studied in this field? Viruses.

They do not move. They do produce their own energy. They are not on the tree of life. They are not living.

Some would argue prions are another non living entity studied in biology, however, a prion is merely a protein or a small component of an entity. Therefore, viruses appear to be the only non living entity studied in the field of living things. Peculiar.

For about 100 years, the scientifi c community has repeatedly changed its collective mind over what viruses are. First seen as poisons, then as life-forms, then biological chemicals, viruses today are thought of as being in a gray area between living and nonliving: they cannot replicate on their own but can do so in truly living cells and can also affect the behavior of their hosts profoundly.

In a discussion over how and why Ivermectin was a viable treatment for Covid, I found this information interesting. It's not as cut and dry as saying a virus isn't living. It needs a host to "survive". How could something not living survive or not survive?

It was my argument that because the virus needed a host to survive, it was a parasite. Ivermectin is a parasitic.

Spot on.
Virology is the biggest hoax going in modern medicine.
I believe it is a combination of bacteria waste product and parasite life cycles.
The parasite responsible for cancer is a human intestinal fluke or liver fluke.
Their life cycle consists of 6 stages that all of the stages other than adult is meant to take place outside our body as each fluke has thousands of eggs that are supposed to wash out with each bowel movement.
It is when the solvent to break the egg (a snail is nature's solvent in a pond) is in our body, like a tumor housing isopropyl
alcohol that the cell breaks down and the miricedia and the redia begin the parasites life cycle within us.
These 3 parts of the parasites life cycle take place at a scale the size of our cells.
It is the interaction of these parasites growing and interacting with our cells that cause diseases like cancer.
Kill the parasite you kill the cancer.
Detox the solvents you provide healing for infected organs.
TY Hulda Clarke for this very important work.
Ivermectin kills these parasites and their life cycle.

These sicko weaponized Hulda Clarke's discovery and cure for cancer.

You are spot on with this reasoning for Ivermectin.

Great post & reference, thanks.

Humans live on a Planet.
They can Not live in space.
They need a space ship to get to another Host.
just like a Viruses.

Humans are a parasite!

which is why AI never needs to be powerful enough to act on it's own. When asked, how do we save the planet? The answer is "remove the parasites", or "us", is the easiest answer.

Drugs are studied as a part of biology, simple chemical compounds. Proteins are also studied, these are more complex chemical compounds that are made from the RNA in a cell. They go on to make all the bits and pieces that build up a biological entity. Individually, all these parts don't do much, could also question if they are alive or dead in what conditions?

One protein that is used in building a cell wall it stuck there and don't move much. It could be described as alive when it opens up an ion channel to let something in or out of the cell. Otherwise could call it dead most the time as it does nothing.

Viruses are bigger than the usual protein as they usually have a few different proteins working together with how they replicate and spread. Bacteria are bigger again and contain a lot more functionality in how they move around and spread.

What do you think viruses are?
They are bits and pieces of genetic material covered by proteins.

Nothing is suspicious here.
Viruses need a host to replicate and and on some occasions can do a lot of damage to the cells. Viruses may contain DNA or RNA and we know that DNA is the molecule of life, so to say viruses are non living entities is not accurate.
