I corrected you in that the "RNA ball" is not huge. Viruses have tiny
genomes. RNA viruses are smaller than DNA viruses, which are smaller
than bacterial genomes, which are smaller than eukaryotic (like plants
and mammals) genomes.

 The fact remains that you ridiculed the use of "vehicle" in immunology, and
you claimed that a RNA viral genome of the SARS-COV-2 size was smaller in
comparison to other viruses. Both are preposterous statements by you.
 I don't care that you make absurd assessments, Chris. The fact you do that
simply proves me right when I assess all you Apple trolls as uneducated.

Even this paper on viruses says so.

 I've always wondered if you Apple trolls even *read* your own cites, Chris.
 That paper says *exactly* what I have been saying all along, and which you
had said was wrong - and yet - that paper shows *exactly* what I said.
 This is a direct quote about RNA viral genomes from that very paper, Chris.
    "viruses exhibit a wide diversity of genome sizes. RNA viruses
    possess genomes that are universally small, ranging from 1,682
    nucleotides (nt) (hepatitis delta virus [Deltavirus]) to 31,526
    nt (murine hepatitis virus [Coronaviridae])."
 Clue by four: 30K subunits is big for an RNA viral particle, Chris.
Very big.
 The fact you don't understand the paper is consistent with all the Apple
trolls never understanding anything slightly complex - you prove me right.
 

Given you claimed a doctorate in the medical sciences, you could never have
earned that degree without at least one course in genetics,

You don't understand UK PhDs. We don't sit classes or courses. It's all
pure research. And just because someone may have a PhD in, say,
population health (a medical science) doesn't mean you know about
molecular biology, genetics or immunology.

However, I did do genetics as part of my UG.

 You know nothing about immunology or viral genomes, Chris.
Simply because you don't even know what everyone else knows about them.
 Just as Alan Baker knows nothing about racing or owning & driving BMWs.
For the same reason as you - he doesn't know the first thing about them.
