One you can't answer other than by bleating 'conspiracy theory....conspiracy theory...conspiracy theory....' But we know that there are plenty of non-extremists who speak against aspects of the lockdowns, compulsory masking, compulsory/coerced vaccinations etc- who are intelligent, who aren't denying covid exists etc, etc. It's not speakers dominating the rallies I'm asking about, it's the media being extremely selective about who they are showing, and they're focusing on the extremists. It's more sinister with the social media, as they're not so much focusing on extremists, as censoring anyone who opposes any aspect of the mainstream narrative, leaving only those who will be seen as extremists and conspiracy theorists. The BBC falls over itself to give balance. There have a few saying it will be all over by June 2020, September 2020 etc etc. Or it could be that the mainstream is right. Do you want a different scientific viewpoint on anything else? We've got flat earthers ready to go if you want. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What do you mean the vaccine doesn't work? Under his scenario the vaccine makes people sick ... just as intended. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I, for one, am not going to defend the mainstream media just because I stand on the opposite side of an argument from some conspiracy theorists.

About flights between Israel and Morocco linking from France..............................and I was so looking forward to a dog chasing coyote story from France given the coyote population of zero.

Guest makapaka Posted July 25, 2021 Share Posted July 25, 2021 (edited) Like a lot of things these days coronavirus has become a polarised debate. leads to extremes of Covid sceptic / deniers v covid “bed-wetters” So as a consequence people lose sight of the nuances in between and come up with weirder and bizarre arguments to support their case. things that fall in between are arguments about the impact on society, health and the economy through lockdowns and restrictions which are valid discussion which need weighing up and should be debated. things that aren’t are that it’s a dangerous virus when measured across large populations and that vaccines and certain precautions can mitigate that danger. if people can accept the latter, and properly debate the former - We’d all be in a much better place.

But if I get a message from God that vaccination is unnecessary, that's good enough for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
