Not at all. I thought you forgot to include a comment, that all.

Because, World war IV is going to be fought with sticks and stones. And that is not the future that I want for my children.

https://www.politifact.com/factcheck...nspiracy-theo/. Quote from the link--- Dr. Li-Meng Yan wasted no time."I can present solid scientific evidence to our audience that this virus, COVID-19 SARS-CoV-2 virus, actually is not from nature," she said. "It is a man-made virus created in the lab."Over the next six-and-a-half minutes, Yan, a virologist and former postdoctoral fellow at the University of Hong Kong, explained that the Chinese government created the coronavirus in a Wuhan lab and released it intentionally. The virus’ genome, she said, indicates that it was modified. She accused the Chinese Communist Party of silencing those who claim otherwise."It’s hard to be shocked in a moment like this, but you have succeeded in shocking me," Carlson said at the end of the interview. "Unfortunately, this is not the forum for the details of your research; I don’t have the grounding necessary to ask you the right questions."Scientists do. The consensus of the scientific community and international public health organizations is that the coronavirus emerged from bats and later jumped to humans.

Another theory that has been debunked by the scientific community.

I wouldn't bother listening to it unless it's been vetted by multiple credible sources.

Another problem is, most people can't even be bothered to do a quick google search to verify anything. So many are getting their news from social media platforms these days. I think a paraphrasing can be applied. "A fool and his vote are soon parted." And the two political parties (and corporate supporters) are well aware of it.

All that said, I don't want to silence anyone. I want to hear who the stupid people are. And the louder they are, the easier they are for me to avoid. For example, do I think Trump's Twitter account should be banned? Hell yeah! But only if you ban every politically oriented account and make it a policy across platform to not allow political ads or accounts. Otherwise you are a biased news source. Which is what we are ending up with on the social media platforms. Selective silencing.

When we entertain the countless variation of the current events such as the pandemic or the black live matters demonstrations, the actual message gets lost and we're left with a blurred vision of what the event actually means.

Case in point the pandemic, there's still no consensus on whether mask is beneficial in fighting the virus outbreak. Even though the CDC and every reputable scientists and virologists believe it's the single most valuable tool we have in fighting it.

So many contradictory view points and opinions makes it that much harder for the general public to absorb and come to the right decision.

Even now I can just hear the naysayers who doesn't believe in wearing it.

That's the downfall of having way too many version of the truth.

There's only one, by the way.

The rest are all entertaining falsehoods which is getting harder and harder to distinguish from one another.

It’s not debunked until a thorough independent investigation happens, and a final report of the accounts that took place are published with the supporting evidence.

CHINA IS NOT ALLOWING THAT TO HAPPEN!

Try again Maruzo.

China is allowing and participating in an investigation of where COVID-19 originated and what route it took to get to man. They are not investigating if the virus is manmade. The consensus of experts that have already done studies is the virus did not originate in a lab.

Please post 2 other sources.

Seems strange that you're asking us to provide proof that a conspiracy is just that, a conspiracy.

I think you've got it backwards, Happy.

A conspiracy is just that, a conspiracy.

The burden of proving it a fact falls on the people trying to push it as a fact, for whatever reasons.

Last time I asked for sources you told me to do something to the tune of educate yourself, go do the research and something about Harvard.

If I provide the 2 sources will you acknowledge your information is incorrect?
