What is?

Interesting. I'd guess that one of Children's motivations was to avoid being sued by detrasistioners after providing them with surgery. Damned if do, damned if you don't.

"Not only did it delete this data, but it did so silently. Ariely only found out by accident: Parents of vaccine-injured children maintained their own copy of the VAERS data, downloaded from the FDA site. They noticed that cases appearing in their downloaded data later disappeared from the government copy of the database, and they told Ariely about this.

Supposedly the FDA tried to keep these actions secret because it “did not want to announce to the foreign powers that it was onto them,” the FDA employee told him...."

"I was speaking with a doctor from a large health care organization…I couldn’t resist asking her what she thought about all the online chatter about unreported vaccine side effects. To my surprise, she agreed there was a problem. She said that she had observed a lot of side effects in her clinic that had not been reported and had been collecting such data from her patients…"

Conspiracy Theory Debunker Finds Real Conspiracies ⋆ Brownstone Institute

The 2023 book Misbelief by Dan Ariely belongs to a genre I would label “debunking Covid conspiracy theories.” The book is meant to explore the thought process of people who subscribe to conspiracy theories, especially about Covid and the Covid vaccines.

Just in case the anti-mask idiots start chiming in here. Proof of efficacy:

https://pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/acsnano.0c03252

And for the conspiracy theorists here:
170 studies involving 158,000 people.
"The researchers found that overall, people were motivated to believe in conspiracy theories by a need to understand and feel safe in their environment and a need to feel like the community they identify with is superior to others."
"The researchers also found that people with certain personality traits, such as a sense of antagonism toward others and high levels of paranoia, were more prone to believe conspiracy theories. Those who strongly believed in conspiracy theories were also more likely to be insecure, paranoid, emotionally volatile, impulsive, suspicious, withdrawn, manipulative, egocentric and eccentric."

There is no conspiracy Rob. No mask that the general public uses is 100% effective at STOPPING the transmission of COVID-19. This is a 100% FACT!

And? Although you are wrong, I don't recall ANYONE here saying they did.
What's with you and logical fallacies? Is it some type of defense mechanism?

You did, literally just now!!! You said I am wrong followed immediately by you saying you don't recall ANYONE here saying they did. What is wrong with you????

Words really confuse you.
I said you were wrong in your claim. THIS claim: "No mask that the general public uses is 100% effective at STOPPING the transmission of COVID-19. This is a 100% FACT!"
I also said no one here claimed (past tense) masks stopped COVID 100%, so your inaccurate claim was yet another of your logical fallacies.

You're just full of them, huh?

You love circles don't you? I made the statement that they are not 100% affective. You responded with a link to studies proving me right. Now this. Dude, just shut up. You are adding NOTHING to any conversation.

I provided proof of efficacy. You decided to say no mask that the public has is 100% effective.
1. Your claim has no relevance to the fact that even simple cloth can have efficacy in stopping transmission of COVID.
You might as well counter the known efficacy of seatbelts by telling us not every car has one.
2. The general public DOES have access to masks that are 100% effective at preventing COVID from crossing the mask barrier.

YOU could add to a conversation by not posting in it, or by not posting lies that you swear are truths.
Try it sometime.

Listen, guy... you go wear your mask and when you catch something, anything I want you to think of me and how I am laughing my *** off at you.

I don't care about partial efficacy or if the general public has access to anything. Of course we have access to whatever. That doesn't me it is readily available or economically viable or even available at the time of need. Now, stop trying to save face by adding a bunch of hypotheticals to this conversation. Not 100% effective at stopping COVID. A Fact and your arrogant ego still argues against facts and you dare to sit there judging the rest of us. Go to hell Rob.

Between the two of us, who has had COVID more?
Who has had long COVID more?
Hell, who has simply had COVID?
Are you ABLE to laugh without hacking up sputum?
Take your time doing the math; I know math is not easy for you.

And once again you spin your story. From "No mask that the general public uses is 100% effective at STOPPING the transmission of COVID-19. This is a 100% FACT!" to "That doesn't me it is readily available or economically viable or even available at the time of need."

You can literally get them on eBay or Amazon with next-day delivery.
Seriously kid, you get in over your head with far too much aplomb.
If you simply just held your words long enough to think whether they can/will be shown as bullsh**, you might not get called out so much and might not seem like a petulant and ignorant child.

"Go to hell"? Interesting.
What next, an offer to beat me up? Maybe tell me to off myself?

I have had COVID a minimum of two times. BOTH TIMES I WORE A PROPER FITTING MASK. Proof #1. Proof number two? Your own post where the studies show NONE OF THE MASK ARE 100% EFFECTIVE. NONE OF THE MASK!!! Just because you are a recluse and live in granny's basement away from any human contact does not make you special. Sitting there sanitizing every food delivery package in your clean room before you bring it in the house because you are so paranoid that your own government will give you germs yet you still defend them with every breath.

There is no spin Rob, I stated facts. Not everybody shops online, Not everyone has extra cash. Why do you think just because you can do something that everyone else can. You ignore the point so you can insult. Nice. Go to hell... yes, go to hell.

Why don't you travel into town and mingle. Leave the germ spray and mask at home. Please.
