Hard man on the forum? I’m not quite sure I follow your logic there. Just to be clear, in no way, shape or form have I behaved like that.Hard man on a forum. Lol
You've quite clearly mispresented me a number of times. What's the controversy. Lol
What you’ve done is present your interpretation of the evidence as absolute fact. My own interpretation is inevitably informed by the fact that my dad caught Covid and died from it. He caught something that killed him. As I’ve repeatedly said, I don’t deny that governments can mislead people, nor do I deny that mistakes were made.
What I object to is people presenting what is ultimately their interpretation - and their preferred consensus - as indisputable fact, while implying that everyone who reaches a different conclusion must wrong.
I’ve read back through my posts. We’ve debated this, and you’ve claimed several times that I’ve misrepresented you. Actually, if you read what you wrote, the inference is very clearly there. Referring to me as some sort of “forum hard man” who is offering to step outside is equally ridiculous. I’ve done nothing of the sort. I think I’ve debated you at the appropriate level throughout.
One thing I’ve noticed about conspiracy theorists is that, when they run out of arguments, they tend to announce that they’re no longer engaging. Apparently, it’s acceptable for you to misrepresent what others have said, but not for anyone to challenge your interpretation.
You mentioned “Build Back Better” and everyone parroting it. Perhaps that happened because it was a decent, memorable catchphrase that travelled well. What you need to establish is whether that repetition demonstrates causation or merely correlation. Successful political messaging gets copied -that fact alone doesn’t prove some coordinated conspiracy.
New Zealand was also highlighted as having relatively low infection rates. That was probably helped enormously by the fact that it is geographically isolated and could close its borders comparatively easily. Britain was in a very different position. Our economy was heavily service-based, with a substantial concentration in London’s financial sector, and it inevitably took a massive hit and we are in Europe.
So I’m not sure how you’ve concluded that I’m acting like a forum hard man.
What I am saying, based on my own experience and everything I’ve read, is that I don’t believe Covid was merely another variation of flu. I believe it was the latest in a long line of pandemics, and it was handled differently because the circumstances were different from anything that had gone before.
You are presenting your research and interpretation as absolute fact. Ultimately, however, you are still relying upon the findings and opinions of other people - just as everyone else is.
At the end of the day, we all have our own lived experiences. Personally, I find your attitude dismissive towards anyone who doesn’t share your opinion. That’s fine - if that’s how you choose to live your life, that’s entirely your prerogative.
