[QUOTE="zubenelgenubi, post: 4968329, member: 63706"] Maybe many people do misunderstand germ theory, but that is not evidence it isn't real. And arguing against other people's misunderstanding of germ theory doesn't disprove it. I agree that focusing on health is important, but on the other hand, health is not a precisely defined term and is somewhat subjective. It is meaningless to say healthy people don't catch germs and pass them on to others, because once someone gets sick, they are no longer healthy. Yes, pathogenic viruses and other microorganisms exist, and yes, they can infect you even if you are the picture of health. Being generally healthy, and having certain genetic predispositions can [I]help[/I] you avoid getting sick from germs, or can help you have less severe symptoms. I understand that with the government appointed "experts", who are so awesome they couldn't make it in the private sector, constantly feeding us junk, and misrepresenting science in general, it is natural to want to question everything, and we should anyway.
