You don't need to assume. Viruses aren't pathogenic. Or, if they are, they've never been scientifically proven to be so. Meaning, you can't take a sick person's pathogens and get another person sick. It's a fact. The only true quais scientific experiment that even tried something like it failed in the early 1900's. The germ theory was popularized 150 years ago before microscopes could even were capable of seeing inert proteins. Before that, the word virus existed, but meant something like noxious poison. So no, your point isn't necessarily as clever as you think it is.

Those are some bold claims. Do you have any sources?
So how does disease spread?
