  • So I’m actually a doctor and this is just wrong. The vaccine was developed properly built on decades of research and produced quickly with appropriate funding. Though I detest Trump, signing off on Operation Warp Speed was an actual sensible thing he did during his first term.

    Your comparison to the polio vaccine is interesting because you’re clearly not aware of the Cutter incident or that OPV causes polio in a small percentage of recipients. By comparison, the COVID-19 vaccines had a much smoother rollout and cannot actually cause COVID-19.

  • So you’re saying the Chinese government released a virus so that vaccines could be released by:

    • A German company
    • A British-Swedish company
    • A Chinese government owned company
    • Three different US companies
    • A Dutch biotech subsidiary of a Belgian subsidiary of a US company
    • An Indian company
    • A private Chinese company
    • A French company
    • The Russian government
    • The Cuban government
    • An Iranian company

    So their goal was to release a virus so they could be one of many countries to develop a cure, with most of the cures being made by private companies in countries that are their enemies? And what was the goal of this? So they could say, “Look, we are one of several countries to make the same cure?”

  • No, your comment is stupid. 16,000 is a big number. 0.00000001 is a small number.

    Now that we’ve established that some numbers are smaller than others: namely, that 22.1 million is smaller than 8 billion, 16,000 is smaller than 22.1 million, and 0.00000001 is smaller than 22.1 million, will you quit stalling and answer the question?

    The more you dodge it, the more you prove that you have no answer. And without an answer, your entire conspiracy theory falls apart.

    So I’ll ask one more time: Why would a government release this specific virus?

    Was it because they had gone diamond hands in Zoom stock calls and needed to cash out? We’re all waiting.

  • To do what, exactly?

    “Boss, I came up with a brilliant plan! We’re going to release a virus that mildly inconveniences a lot of people! It’ll clog hospitals in random parts of the world for a couple weeks at a time, kill a small percentage of people, and maybe even strand a single cruise ship! We’ll of course have no control over where it goes or how it mutates, and there will probably be an effective vaccine within a year.”

    “Ok, Ted, that certainly sounds like a thing we could do, but FUCKING WHY?”

    If you’re going to come up with a big scary government story, you need to include the part where the big scary government had an actual plan.

    I already know the response: “I’m not saying this is actually the case. I’m just thinking it, out loud, in your general direction. And yeah, l totally believe it and I literally did just say it, but I also just said I didn’t say it so if anyone points out the obvious I can try to save face, mmk?”
