can you add "virus vectors"? can you multiply them with elements of a scalar field? do they have a basis? can you form subspaces, quotient spaces? can you express virus vector linear transformations as matrices? can you make an endomorphism algebra over the space of "virus vectors"?
no? then why do idiots call them "vectors"? lack of imagination?

How would you know? If you look at the biographies of particularly brilliant thinkers, you'd realize that most of them were archetypical renaissance (wo)men. They specialized in one or two areas, but not to the exclusion of others.
