All those bought and paid for leftist 'scientists' were . . . wrong.

Heck . . . brag away. I certainly do. Eventually, even the average kneejerk non-thinking-- but totally emoting -- leftist might finally realize that we generally issue Spoiler Alerts rather than baseless conspiracy theories. Thinking (for once) would do them good . . . if it did not make their heads explode.

First sign was this disclaimer on the mask packages - "Doesn't stop viruses and not a medical mask."

Yes, and the first time I pointed out the box warning to a pro-vaxxer/pro-masker he went ballistic, babbling that I was being ab obstructionist.

So, a new virus emerged from a bat's nose and is going to wipe mankind from the face of the planet? Righ!
Besides, even if it was true, you cannot hide from an airborne virus. Furthermore, Pasteur had it wrong. Terrain Theory is far more important when considering who will fall ill.
Chinese proverb, 'The man is not sick because he has an illness, he has an illness because he is sick'. Again, healthy people don't die from cold viruses and a coronavirus is a cold virus.

Well said.
