Appealing to authority is a logical fallacy, not a truth.

Again, you may be right. It's definitely one possibility. And stupid people can certainly be lethal. The Nazis are a prime example. 26 million Russians died because the Nazis were stupid - stupid enough to fight a land war with Russia. Because of that, the Thousand Year Reich lasted only twelve years. (So there's always hope that their plans will go awry.)

Today, on the other hand, no "war" is necessary, no zombie apocalypse. People are just peacefully lining up to be killed/injured/maimed. (Poor Jimmy Dore.)

I don't want to argue with you. I have friends who think the Deagle scenario will be played out. A couple of reasons I'm more optimistic:

  1. The people pushing this - talking about the flying monkeys here - aren't very smart. If you've ever worked with Ivy League graduates, you soon realize they're mostly not very bright. Talkin' doctors, lawyers and teachers, here.

  2. As for the elites, they have a vested interest in convincing us that they're way more powerful than they actually are. The fact that Trump pushes them to paroxysms of rage seems to put the lie to this. If their rule was inevitable, they wouldn't need to push the TINA narrative as hard as they are.

Not insane at all. Psychiatry has been doing this sort of shit to uppity women for over 200 years. (The term "hysteria" was first coined in 1801.)

Why would "wealthy elites" need a vaccine for a disease that doesn't exist?

Don't know why you're getting flak. Looks like there are some people here who aren't aware of the occult significance behind the Olympics. Their "ceremonies" are always rife with cult symbology. So, very much anything Olympic-related belongs here, IMNSHO.

To the matter at hand - someone once said that only sports that can be quantified should be competitive. No one needs a panel of judges to determine whether a ball hits the net in a soccer game.

This. A theory that a) doesn't follow its own principles, b) changes its narrative from one day to the next depending on who's talking and 3) can't accurately predict anything at all is - scientifically speaking - utter shite. Works for global warming, too.

Go read some Ioannidis before you start quoting JAMA at us. As for "peer reviewed", I give you Lindsay and Pluckrose.

Smh, some bioweapon. It eliminated the flu.

Cooley received two doses of Pfizer's Covid-19 vaccine in February, but blood tests show the shots didn't give her antibodies against the virus.

So, they admit it doesn't work.

Nothing is real, and nothing to get hung about.

Lies, Damn Lies and Statistics Dept: The "expected death rate every month" is over 8,000? In a country of less than 5 million. That's some third-world death rate, right there.

Meanwhile, this says that monthly death rate is actually less than 3,000: https://worldpopulationreview.com/countries/ireland-population

This review gave me a laugh:

The idea of Foster being tricked so easily into believing her mother was a terrorist who planned to sacrifice her child for her political goals is just too hard a sell. Harder still is the idea of a mass conspiracy between government and big tech cooked up to make the populace happy little consumers.

Because that could never happen. Also:

Healthy scepticism about what we’re shown on TV or told by companies and politicians with vested interests is exactly that – healthy. But in the last few years, cries of ‘fake news!’ and a blanket-refusal to believe any corner of the media over conspiracy theories feels as though it could be playing into some dangerous hands.

Yes, and these microorganisms belong ensconced in their proper locales in the human body, not in a mask being breathed directly into the lungs.

I was surprised Ioannidis kept his job at Stanford after he proved - years ago - that double-blind studies are essentially worthless. But then everyone just ignored him, so all's good.

The South didn't have a problem with an overreaching federal government when they got the Supreme Court to force the free states to round up runaway slaves and return them. Somehow, "states rights" didn't concern them, then.

Seriously - if the Cubans want a revolution, they know how to make one. They don't need us to "free" them so they can spend their lives working to make corporations rich(er).
