Do you get your information from anywhere other than memes?

1) No one has the 'cognitive capacity' to be an expert in everything.
But you don't *need* to be an expert to have the basic understanding of what covid is, and what it does. ie that it is caused by a virus, which seems contentious in this thread only because 'thinking for yourself' always offers the possibility that you wind up being wrong about super basic things, like whether viruses exist.

2)
i) Masks do work, and no 'fauci leak' disproved that.
ii) china lied about numbers, and are continually hiding their numbers behind a 'mysterious illness'(ie it's covid), but couldn't fullly hide what happened when they undid their lockdowns
iii) there was no 'wuhan lab leak' and no fauci leaks proved this
iv) HCQ helps but isn't a silver bullet
v) fauci may, however, be a press junkie, IDGAF about fauci
vi) YOU are the ones politicizing covid
vii) that's a noun

3) so?

4) oh god you're one of those people
The virus wasn't a lab leak virus. The planning was being done *in case* a pandemic happened, which MANY people saw coming a mile away. I was talking about a possible pandemic in november 2019 on my podcast, even -- though I had the pathogen wrong(my guest & I were mostly talking about bubonic plague). People like Laurie Garrett even identified Wuhan as a potential hotspot THAT IS WHY THEY PUT A BSL3 LAB NEARBY because bat coronaviruses were a present and clear danger.
