OK. Metal you can do us a favour. Read all scientific artilces on a given topic. say somethig not too broad. "Adsorption of gases on zeolites" would be a suggestion. take a year, say 2000. Now just give us the number of true vs. false things that posed as "facts".

If you get a number higher than 10% we will bow to you.

Don't take COVID-19 this is far too big a filed (for ordinary people like us, not for super scientists like you) and a lot ist still on the move. Plus I expect you will have difficulties, since you are the only person who knows more about virus isolation than all virology professors combined...

Why should I care about zeolites?
Why do you suggest that?

You are like one of those city people who insists that people go "cow tipping".
It is all based on the assumption that cows sleep standing up. They don't. It is a myth that people will not let go of. Same thing with salt peter preventing erections. It doesn't.

Just because the vast majority of people believe something and tell it to you as if it is a fact does not make it a fact, but human nature is to believe it anyway. Scientists are not immune from that human nature. They fall for it just as easily as morons.

adsorption on zeolites is what I did in my PhD work. So I know a bit about it (probably not as much as you and you probably have a video on it, where some guy ells things I didn't knew).

I am a rural boy grew up in a village with about 1200 inhabitants and know my cows, just saying.

You attack a straw man by the way: Nobody put up the thesis that scienists are less prone to human behaviour.

However I tried to show you a way to support your original theis

Scientits lie often

with the implication mre often than the average or the mean of the population (you do understand the difference I hope?)

You have not explained why zeolites are relevant.
