The venom theory is crashing

Yes, it sounded well presented at first, but once people really started thinking it is ADIOS. It's quite basic. If it was spread via municipal water, How did the deer get it then? How many countries and municipalities would have to go along with it? How could you scale snake venom precursors up to such a high volume, when 99+ percent of them would get sprayed on the lawn, flushed down the toilet, and down the drain after the spin cycle?

People drink at most 0.01 percent of the water households use. Fluoride is viable at that volume because it's an industrial waste they need to get rid of anyway. But snake venom precursors? That would be a hellishly expensive thing to wash the car with. One car wash would deplete the entire world stock.

Covid is one of those things where at most 50 people know the whole story, at the top of the pyramid. Snake venom would require millions to be in on it even at the local level, with no one uttering a peep. Not possible. It's as simple as that.
