Neither of us have any kind of medical training or sophisticated knowledge about viruses. We have to go on the evidence as we see it.
On one side of this question about whether the virus exists or not are thousands of the world's top epidemiologists, virologists, medical experts, hundreds of thousands of doctors and millions of healthcare professionals not to mention millions of dead bodies and tens of millions of people who have had the virus.
On the other side are a small bunch of terminally stupid and/or mentally ill people on the internet claiming with zero evidence that the virus doesn't exist. Surely considering the preponderance of evidence on one side of the argument and the complete lack of evidence on the other side it should be up to the nutters to provide some evidence that the virus doesn't exist and the whole thing is some kind of conspiracy?
Saw this on a FB post today. It was in Spanish, but I'll translate.
"Why is it easier to accept conspiracy theories than scientific theories? Because to understand scientific theories you have to study."
Simple, but true.
Any simpleton can parrot what he/she sees or reads on social media.

To be fair, it's not just the U.S. that has its share of morons. It's a global phenomenon, unfortunately.
You know what's sad? If they were just out there protesting without bothering those who DO believe in COVID, vaccines, and masking... it might go a bit easier.
But these assholes are assaulting people who don't share their views. They're shutting down vaccination sites. They're interfering with other people's right to do what THEY feel is right.
They don't believe in anything... so no one else is allowed to either.
Technology may have advanced in the last century. But humanity in general has regressed.
@Kirkland Laing I think one of your earlier posts on clearing out the gene pool is right on point.

Neither of us have any kind of qualification or expertise in virology or epidemiology and neither of us have access to any of the various healthcare and disease control systems around the world that are dealing with this virus so neither of us have any actual personally attested evidence that the virus does or does not exist.
We only have observable reality.
On my side of the argument are thousands of virologists and epidemiologists, tens of thousands of doctors and medical specialists and millions of dead people killed by the virus along with tens of millions of people infected by it. The wealth of evidence that the virus exists is incontrovertible. It would be impossible to construct a conspiracy so elaborate and so we can say that there is literally no other explanation for the events of the past eighteen months other than the fact that the virus exists. The fact that the virus does exist is basically an uncontested fact among all political stripes and ideologies worldwide, even among the vast majority of American conservatives.
On your side of the argument are a small number of terminally stupid and/or mentally ill people who insist while offering zero evidence that the virus doesn't exist.
Res ipsa loquitur.

At this point I just find it amazing that anyone here still gives a flying fuck WHAT this dude believes or doesn't believe.
Again... when Alpha was spouting his flat Earth doctrine all over the forum... I initially tried using reason and logic. When I saw it was fruitless and the same comebacks were being regurgitated over and over again... I switched to "poking fun" mode. Yeah, it got hot for awhile... but eventually I just left him for incorrigible. These people aren't searching for truth... just ATTENTION.
Contrary to what some may think, this guy isn't an Alpha alt. Alpha was hard-headed... but he didn't insult people.
But in all this, what continues to bug me is how these non-believers, anti-maskers, anti-vaxxers, etc. are imposing their will on the rest of the population by attacking others, and attempting to shut down vaccination facilities.
Boils down to the same shit as other issues. Believe what you want... just don't force your warped fantasies on me.
