ASHRAE, EPA, PMC studies etc disagree with you. Good systems actually do work to kill organics. I don't know what Cheeseball units Sunkool installs, but a quality unit can reduce airborne pathogens well in excess of 95%. Hospital operating rooms take it to a whole nother level, but UV-C light inactivates pathogens quite effectively.
