Also, science is an evolving area. The truth is we all know very little about it. Since you want to belittle me about it, are you the master?

I’m not the master. Don’t claim to be the master. But, I will challenge you about obviously false information.

It would be a big morale boost to sports fans if baseball could sustain it's abbreviated season.

The owners make too much money to forfeit the season. The only way I see it not happening is if the government steps in and tries to take control which is very possible.

Yet, your test results confirm you could have been infected in March, April, and possibly early May. Frankly, we can’t say when you were infected except to say you were infected in May or earlier. In April the US had over 1M confirmed cases. So when were you more likely to be infected? When there were less than 62 known cases? Or over 1M known cases?

You claimed you have immunity. I showed references that indicate we don’t know.

I claimed you don’t need to take any precautions such as wearing a mask and I showed you a reference indicating your belief is incorrect.


So RNA viruses act similarly to DNA viruses?  No


You overlooked the most common type which involves just pieces of the virus and toxoid vaccines.

Some vaccines have to be given as a series because one vaccination alone won’t confer immunity. Others have to be boosted because our immunity wanes. Then there are cases in which we haven’t been able to develop a vaccine using all of our technology.

Tell me, when did you get your HIV vaccine? Never. Because we don’t have one.


Does HIV and HPV behave the same? No.

You should read all of it, but pay particular attention to the sentence in bold.

Elsewise, we'll have to step in, and start enforcing Code of Conduct violations.
