…. I remember that under high magnification little grey fuzzy things at the side of the fungi and
the technician told me those were viruses … denial of proven science is infuriating.

I was reading a book about the building of the Brooklyn Bridge a few years ago and the original
designer of the bridge (John Roebling) died needless of lockjaw because he didn’t believe in germ
theory. Btw I looked up the # of deaths we have from lock jaw every year in the United States and
it is about 30 to 50 and almost everyone of them didn’t have a tetanus shot.
