    No, I'm arguing people tried to stop this from being questioned. Anytime you shut down questioning in anyway, you start the line of who picks the information.

    Dude, you should take this even further: pop some LSD every day for breakfast, it will open your perception in such a way that your pesky brain won’t have to keep narrowing your focus to what’s relevant to daily human existence. This whole informational bias of ordinary human cognition is just oppression by another form.

    Really? Who were the people that "tried to stop this from being questioned," and how did they do that? Who was forcibly detained? Who was physically punished? Who had criminal or civil penalties assessed against them? I missed all of that.

    Well search harder because there are plenty of examples.

    Sorry, no, it doesn't work like that. You made the assertion; you're the one that has to back it up. Otherwise, it carries as much weight as my assertion that you wear a tin-foil hat on your head 24/7.

    My thought is you don't seek the truth and if you find it you'll still argue against it. Just look up how those who questioned the vaccine where shutdown on social media, how the FBI was working with Twitter, people fired for not taking a jab and basically surrendering rights because they deemed a crisis.

    So, you're saying you can't substantiate your assertion?

    "The burden of proof is on the one making the claim" is probably the most fundamental tenet of argumentation and debate. One ignores it only if one wants to be considered a conspiracy theorist.

    So your stance is that the lab deliberately released a deadly virus so that governments around the world could try to impose authoritarian principles on the masses? And companies could have an excuse to fire people?

    Yea, I never said that. All I said was the bat tartar was a lie. They never proved that's what's happened and it was probably a gain of function experiment that went wrong.
    . Everything after that was an assult of free speech. They told you get the vaccine and you'll be immune, that wasn't true and folks who questioned that were labeled conspiracy theorist. Even Biden said if you were vaccinated you couldn't transmit the virus. That was a lie.

    Before I watch: this is about preventing people from advocating the Wuhan Lab Leak theory?

    This is a privately owned and run message board. Mods can censor whatever the hell they want. They can red card you for using COURIER NEW.

    And you would be wrong. The wet market is still the most probable cause.


    Science normally doesn't prove things, it disproves things.


    Wait, you're saying science hasn't "proved" the wet market scenario, but you're ok with something that has no evidence for it whatsoever? Ok then.


    If that's what you thought, then you clearly don't understand what vaccines do. I remember distinctly hearing that if you got the vaccine, then if you get the virus it won't be anywhere near as serious because you will have antibodies already in your system. (I mean, that is what vaccines do, after all). I guess either you were listening to the wrong people (likely), or you purposely ignored what scientists were actually saying (very possible), or both (most likely).


    Because they were purposely ignoring what scientists and the medical community actually say AND they were promoting conspiracy theories. As such, it seems logical to label them conspiracy theorists.


    Or simply a mistake on his part. You'll need to show that he knew the truth and deliberately said the opposite knowing it was wrong if you are calling it a lie.

    Biden said a couple things about Covid that were hyperbole.
    He said people who were vaccinated aren't dying. At the time 5,192 people out of 159 million vaccinated people had died of Covid (0.004%).
    He also said that vaccinated people can't transmit the virus when there was a miniscule chance that they could.
    I believe both statements were later clarified.
    I'm pretty sure every President ever has said something in the heat of the moment that wasn't 100% accurate and has been rightly picked up on it.

    No idea on that? He wasn’t denying the election, but was trying to get Clinton voters to not show up at the polls.

    A Trump supporter denying the 2016 election? I don't think that's it.
