MODERATORS
Definitely, and even germ theory is like, not actually very accurate beyond the bare elements of needing some infectious microbe - it doesn't address how social conditions contribute to health with infectious diseases, account for asymptomatic carriers or has any awareness of the role of commensal bacteria, for example.
Yes it does
Happy for you to explain how with reference to classic germ theory.
Here is a good journal article that balances the critique of germ theory while dispensing with the idiotic alternative (i.e. that microbes* are not causative agents in infectious disease) - https://www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pnas.2319605121
*Is a prion a microbe? Fucking prions.
