They certainly don't. But that doesn't mean they're cooking up viruses in labs. Do you also believe that AIDS was created by our government to decimate the African American population? Do you believe in Q? What other conspiracies do you believe in? Maybe it's time to step outside and get some fresh air. 2 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Unfortunately, conspiracy theorists don't read scientific papers nor evidence-based reasoning. That's why I just laugh at them nowadays. There is no point debating them. They live on the dark web and 4chan message boards. It's sad that many seemingly smart people actually believe this nonsense. 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It happened here in April and was quite grim with morgue trucks outside the hospitals.

schoeppeya Posted November 20, 2020 Some of you are categorizing people as "sociopaths" way, way too easily. The number of people who think this is a hoax or completely disregard precautions at this point is very very low, no matter which side of the political spectrum you are on. I understand that when you have a job that allows you to work remotely it is hard to understand how people can't take every precaution necessary to prevent the virus, but there is a huge number of people in the country who HAVE to go to work to pay their bills, and at least at the moment, there isn't enough government support for them to do otherwise. There is a large number of intelligent people on this board, but an equal amount of ignorance into the every day livelihoods of a lot of Americans. It really is not as simple as "just stay home". Additionally, a lot of the people getting sick now are people who are going to see their friends and family members who they haven't seen in months and months. It is exceptionally difficult to not see your loved ones. This virus is just so contagious that even when people do things the right way, people are still going to catch it. My grandmother passed from Covid last week and was in a nursing home that was doing everything they could right. Every body always wants to be able to blame somebody for what is going on, but the truth is we are just in a terrible and hard situation that isn't easy at any level. It isn't as simple as educated vs uneducated, red vs blue, urban vs rural, ect ect, and anybody who wants to make it that simple is blindingly ignorant to the realities of the world. 1 5 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

My department at Pfizer is actually the one that does the submissions. Maybe by around Christmas time the first vaccinations can begin. 1 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Some of you need to just eject out of this thread. There is a thread in the New England subforum where you can post all your conspiracy bullshit and have it fester freely. Weren't you the guy in here a few months ago saying that cases in the south were going crazy because they were all red states and nobody there was wearing masks?
