I never said it was or wasn't real, I said we, the public, can't state 100% it is, because we haven't been shown scientifically, localized in a lab. I merely entertained the possibility of another scenario, and also inquired about a link that shows the virus is real. I believe it's real, but the danger from it has been blown out of proportion.
I posted the quote because I do not think I've heard of the guy before, and that quote came up early in my search of his name, and it was from just weeks before he died, which I thought was mildly sus, even though he was old. Everything in the news is sus if it isn't direct evidence like the new Jan 6 vids that came out.
