And in your world lymphopenia is a sign of good health!? (Probably
along with having a hemoglobin of 5, a neutrophil count of 1 and
platelet count of 15). ROTFLMAO!

Well as you know antibodies merely reflect exposure to infection.
Persisting production of antibodies occurs in cases where the infection
remains latent, and virus can also be detected by other methods,
proving viral persistence.
In your world, antibodies mean "proteins on the filter paper", and you
get to decide who has them and who doesn't.
Now whose world more closely approximates to reality - yours or mine?

News for you - virologists grow old. Those who were teaching 40 years
ago have now retired. Unlike what you were "taught", the scientific
method incorporates new discoveries and reworks scientific hypotheses -
one of its strengths, contrary to what you believe.
(Oh, and as for viruses causing cancer, how about HBV, HCV, HPV, EBV,
HHV-8, HTLVs etc, never mind about animal cancer viruses.)
