So in biology class I was taught that viruses are not alive or they do not meet all the biological criteria for life
But now some people say a vaccine uses a weakened or dead virus
But if a virus was never alive then how can it be dead
Really makes you think

@shortstories When I was in biology they taught us that viruses WERE alive. Consumed, reproduced, and shed waste. They looked like shitty, multi-legged lightbulbs, not the spiky spheres they all allegedly look like today.
@RoninGrey
They told me they were not alive because they could not reproduce on their own without a host organism and they might have listed additional reasons based on other things they can not do on their own without a host organism
But by that reasoning many parasites which are made out of multiple cells would not be alive
