I just feel they knew right from time that respiratory viruses don't exist, however it was like a closely guided secrete within the scientific community and they all had to abide by this.
But because of the misuse of viruses as in the Covid-19 pandemic to destroy humanity they don't feel obligated to keep this secrete anymore and have now turned whistle blowers.
If I am to give my humble opinion on this debate, my hunch tells me viruses don't exist.
What is called a virus is a byproduct of immune system allergic reaction to environmental stimuli that deposits some pathogenic substance (spike protein) that are made more potent when aerosolized, mixing with bacteria that serve as vectors to become infectious and transmissible.
Some renowned scientists have now come together to suggest a way of settling the debate on virus existence which can be accessed on this link https://drsambailey.com/resources/settling
From what I have learned over the last 2 years, most knowledge about viruses and many other things are just stories. Not always created to deceive, but sometimes so. Science seems to have a starting point and then the end point and they fill in the blank with a story of how it happened, it can often be repeatable and appears to make sense. I think Scott Adams summed it up in these statements
The human mind is a delusion generator, not a window to truth. The best any human can do is to pick a delusion that helps him get through the day.
The simplest explanation is usually right. My experience tells me that in a complicated world the simplest explanation is usually dead wrong. But I’ve noticed that the simplest explanation usually sounds right and is far more convincing than any complicated explanation could hope to be.
And 2 more
The minds knowledge of anything can only be as good as the knowledge it has of itself. Therefore, the consumption of “external” knowledge is mostly futile.
The greatest obstacle to discovery is not ignorance, it is the illusion of knowledge.

Viruses seem to be the fireman delusion, the fireman is at the scene of the fire therefore fireman cause fires.
