I think it's a virus ,yes. It is caused by a bacterium cell that causes infections.
Cholera's virulence is closely linked to its mode of transmission via contaminated water and food. The bacterium Vibrio cholerae can survive in aquatic environments, allowing it to spread rapidly during outbreaks, especially in areas with poor sanitation. Its ability to produce potent toxins leads to severe dehydration and diarrhea, which can escalate quickly in populations lacking access to clean water. Consequently, the high virulence of cholera enhances its transmission potential, creating a cycle of infection and spread in vulnerable communities.
There are infinitely many things that do not contribute to the virulence of a pathogen. Elvis does not contribute to the virulence of a pathogen.
Virulence factors
Virulence - album - was created on 2007-01-23.
The virulence factor for diphtheria is an exotoxin named diphtheria exotoxin.
small infectious dose leads to greater virulence
Virulence is the degree of pathogenicity within a types of parasites. The factors of virulence are the colonization of a niche in the host, immunoevasion, immunosuppression, entry and exit of cells and obtaining nutrition from the host.

cholera is poopy.
In cholera vaccination you are injected the dead cells of cholera. So you get antibodies to cholera. This vaccine is not very effective. The protection rate is some where 50 to 60 % only. So you can not keep faith on the vaccine for protection from cholera.
Chlorine does not cause cholera. You may get cholera, by absence of that little chlorine in public water supply.
