This works for me using your media and my camera. Turn the media_interaction
off and the media dissappears. Turn the media_interaction on and the media
appears. I don't know what your problem is but it's not Pov's fault.

#include "colors.inc"

  camera {
    location <0, 0, -1>
    look_at <0, 0, 0>
    angle 75
    }
    

 light_source{<0.005,0.00081,0.00081>  color White*14
 media_interaction on}

 media {                         //media scattering
   intervals 10
   scattering { 2, red 0.05 blue 0.001 green 0.02}
   samples 1, 10
   confidence 0.9999
   variance 1/1000
   ratio 0.9
 }
