No, because poisons aren't self replicating. The question of if they are alive or not is a philosophical one.
Also, live virus is a technical term, irrespective of the definition of a living thing. Just like saying a wire is live.
Remove all media, do we really have a pandemic?

Well, assuming the description was written by someone credible, how can that be?
Definitions:
Parasite:
an organism that lives in or on an organism of another species (its host) and benefits by deriving nutrients at the other's expense.
Organism:
an individual animal, plant, or single-celled life form.
Non living:
Dead.

I don't know enough about the subject unfortunately.
One quote though,
"One might then conclude that even though these processes come under viral direction, viruses are simply nonliving parasites of living metabolic systems. But a spectrum may exist between what is certainly alive and what is not."

Either prove the virus doesn’t exist or stop putting it in quote marks and grow up.

I can't believe you're so agitated by a couple of "s LOL.
How do you know that for certain?
Some people are claiming 'long covid' long after getting tested positive, so by that logic there is surely a case for suffering/getting the 'virus' some time after getting jabbed...
Different people's immune systems work differently...
Agree or disagree?
How about you learn to analyse a subject such as a 'virus' and learn to make up your own mind...
Oh, but you have a difficult history with that don't you...
So your comment about 'grow up' should be a conversation you have with your mirror!

Disagree.
Because even if the reaction was caused by the injection, the recipient would not have COVID.
Ellal you seem to be going out of your way to try to misunderstand, or try to find misunderstandings in others' posts.
The virus exists, that's not a matter of opinion.
One can get symptoms from a vaccine similar to those from a virus because the antibodies are similar, of course.
That's distinct from the usually very minor effect of the components such as the "spike" part of the molecule which can directly stimulate some platelet production.
But you cannot in any sense get the reproducing virus, from the vaccine.

Viruses aren't typically referred to as being alive as they don't meet the seven standard tests. Organisation, Metabolism or growth are all tenuous or flat fails. I'm not an expert either but I remember that much from school.
Which also means it isn't a parasite, as a virus also fails that definition.
When you get down to the scale viruses exist the conventional criteria don't work well. Which is one of the many reasons that there not universally agreed definition or test for life. Which is where I get bored.
As opposed to you simply being a 'tool'...
Is using " better or worse than using ' as a way of showing emphasis?
Yes, ok.
It depends what you mean by typically and by whom.
Isn't that more or less what I was asking.
You will note that I 'liked' your previous post which was written one minute before mine.
Therefore you might deduce that I hadn't seen your explanation when I wrote mine and that it was not querying what you wrote.
