I agree with you. The problem in this case it is easy for a non virologist, biologist to set up an experiment correctly do real scientific research using the scientific method and prove many people wrong and that just doesn't sit well with those that have been proved wrong so they claim that the experiment was done wrong because that's not how virologist do it even though the virologists don't do real science or use the scientific method.
Because it's all compartmentalised most people don't ever question the procedures of virology as they assumed the process they are using is following the scientific method but when you set up an experiment in the right way it disproves virology completely and instead of accepting this fact they go back to using the flawed junk, non scientific method to get the result they want. It is completely skewed data and fraudulent pseudoscience like you described.
