If virology would be a reasonable scientific field I would expect them to care about the road viruses use to infect humans and other animals.
The experiment to determine whether or not a virus is airborne seems pretty straightforward to me. Get a bunch of animals and house them in a way where they would transmit the virus to each other if and only if the virus is airborne.
One hypothesis would be that virologists don’t really care about understanding transmissions but care about registering patents from which they profit when drugs based on the patents get developed.
People in the field of environmental health seemed to be able to know that COVID was airborne and wrote letters to the WHO saying so only to be ignored.
What’s wrong with the virologists that they didn’t manage to do the necessary science?
[Question] Why didn’t virologists run the studies necessary to determine which viruses are airborne?
