Even the etymology of germ debunks the germ theory:
germ(n.)
mid-15c., "bud, sprout;" 1640s, "rudiment of a new organism in an existing one," from French germe "germ (of egg); bud, seed, fruit; offering," from Latin germen (genitive germinis) "spring, offshoot; sprout, bud," which is of uncertain origin, perhaps from PIE root *gene- "give birth, beget," with derivatives referring to procreation and familial and tribal groups.
The older sense is preserved in wheat germ and germ of an idea;
sense of "seed of a disease" first recorded 1796 in English; that of "harmful micro-organism" dates from 1871. Germ warfare is recorded from 1919.
seed(n.)
Middle English sēd, from Old English sēd (Anglian), sæd (West Saxon), "that which may be sown; an individual grain of seed," from Proto-Germanic *sediz "seed" (source also of Old Norse sað, Old Saxon sad, Old Frisian sed, Middle Dutch saet, Old High German sat, German Saat). This is reconstructed to be from PIE *se-ti- "sowing," from root *sē- "to sow."
Figurative sense of "offspring, progeny, posterity," now rare or archaic except in biblical use, was in Old English; the figurative meaning "that from which anything springs, latent beginning" is by late Old English. From late 14c. as "act or time of sowing." The meaning "semen, male fecundating fluid," also now archaic or biblical, is from c. 1300. For the sporting sense (by 1924), see seed (v.).
Holy Mackeral! Jumpin' Junipers! What an invaluable list! Thank you Adhissa.
Thanks for putting this list together.
Here is my article on the devastation of the American chestnut, blamed on a fungus, and of ash trees blamed on the emerald ash borer: https://open.substack.com/pub/coppervortex/p/invasive-species-emerald-ash-borer?r=1nnqot&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web&showWelcomeOnShare=false .
Here is my article on the devastation of rabbits blamed on a 'myxoma virus', as well as how they blamed the deaths of tobacco plants on the so-called 'tobacco mosaic virus': https://open.substack.com/pub/coppervortex/p/myxoma-virus-deep-dive-as-a-specific?r=1nnqot&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web&showWelcomeOnShare=false . I also have various other germ theory related articles and Notes.

Wow dude, you rock. This is... wow
Thanks for the comprehensive list of resources.
This link doesn’t work. Article: A closer look at ‘autoimmune diseases’
Fixed.
Wow. Awesome resource - thank you!
you mean the FAILED Germ Hypothesis?
