Sigh... So many coincidences, so little time...
You asked:

What do you think are the odds of that ?

I think series show up because...

this innocent enough statement is surrounded by buckets of words that do nothing to support the underlying implication, to defend the inference of the missing word "solely" -- or maybe "dishonestly"...

I'm not naming anyone, but there are several people on WACCO who are pushing Russian-style disinformation to the effect that the vaccines are more dangerous than the virus. You are doing active harm...

well, the definition of 'obvious' seems to be fluid around here. I'd say that the idea that there will be mandated vaccination isn't quite a lie in itself, because the word "will" removes the ability...

This sad story was first reported on syracuse.com. If you go to that source article you see that Mark misrrepresented it.

The positive cases started at this nursing home the day before the...

I apologize for misrepresenting your position on masks. I should have paid closer attention.

My dude, you shit our collective bed with your fire-hose of know-it-all conspiratorial nonsense. Basic curation must have taken Barry an hour a day. You won, good bye and good riddance.

What is the long game here? Further sedition would involve calling out the troops so mutiny within these corps would be necessary for a successful coup/insurrection. That is from my readings, aleady...

<br><br>Yes. My family wears masks to keep well while my spouse awaits a ❤ transplant. We toss used masks, replace filters often as well as washing the cloth ones regularly. No, masks are not causing...

your post describes perfectly the nature of the posts that draw my opposition. I often agree with the underlying skepticism about convention that they express. It's the centrality of the role of...

Questioning someone's motives, like calling it a "China study," in publishing an analysis or study is a no-no in science, It's comitting the ad hominem fallacy.

And it's irrelevant. In this...

When, as a nurse, do you recall refrigeration trucks lined up outside of hospitals for the purpose of storing dead bodies because the morgues were beyond capacity?

When, in your lifetime, do you...

OK, so then what's up with all the dead people?

wow....Mayacaman...I had to wonder what point you were endeavoring to make using Barry's whole name five times in your missive. For me, that gave your writing a zealous tone that made it hard for me...

I have been perusing this thread and am disheartened by the seeming importance of people posting just to prove they are right and others are wrong. Although I am sure someone posted something...

maybe that's the wrong way to phrase it.
First off, if people actually want to stay moderate and centrist, well, it's probably because they are moderate and centrist.
I think your complaint is...

I strongly recommend "The Queen's Gambit" on Netflix. It's an outstanding, limited series. I hope you enjoy it.

ah, that finally clarified your point of view for me. I hadn't quite found the theme in your posts before.

To paraphrase, then, I hope accurately: Covid is being over-hyped and over-politicized....

by now, we do it because we do it. People have made up reasons, I think they're cart-before-the-horse, reasons made up to explain after the fact. One easy one is - who wants kids going to school in...

Cases is an important data point to track the level of infection in a community. You want to know how prevalent it is and if it is increasing or not. But a much better measure of that is the...

actually, I think politics were definitely a big part of the process. In a good way - given that 'politics' is really just the process of decision-making when people have conflicting interests. It's...

alright, I don't usually post debunker links, I'd rather just make my own points, but when you bring in Einstein like that, it triggers me. He was an amazing thinker and it's awful when his legacy is...

ok, that article didn't really need to be in a 'conspiracy' thread, because it hints at, rather than directly claims, nefarious conspiratorial doings. "Dr Fauci .. long backed dangerous research" ...

Well, technically the meme is true- because “old age” is not a legal or codable of death.

But it’s also patently false- people still continue to die of “old age” - whether it’s organ failure,...

it's funny anyway, but would be funnier if people didn't believe it. Although, maybe that makes it funnier.

The title of the accompanying article caught my eye, but I didn't expect much new insight. I mean, it's kind of a duh-obvious thing in our culture. But watching this video stunned me. I did not...

I’m not going to waste much preath on this. Suffice to say the author of the paper was a student pulling “facts” from a far right wing group.
For example- the whopping 7 deaths in the one Gates...

you extrapolate way too far. I can't speak for the others, but I'm reacting to the blanket characterization of government as evil, and of ever-present malevolent forces with poorly-hidden motives...

yeah, I welcome them when they're true. They should be true more often - the government's in a good position to help with a lot of things.

I don't know whether it's worse these days than it's been. I tend to think not, but it sure feels that way. The emotional appeal of knowing that you're seeing through the lies of the world, not...

don't let us sell you that -- the leading cause is bad UX/UI design, and bad programmers. Or, good programmers with bad project management.

Speaking from experience on both ends.

sadly, that ship has sailed. It's always good to be personally less reliant on technology, just like it's good to recycle and have a low carbon footprint. But the society's totally reliant on it,...
