    Because the medium is more crucial than the message.

    Perspiring minds want to know. LOL Garbage in yields garbage out. Self-publishing, non-peer reviewed material is not suitable to base scientific, medical decisions upon. Sigh. Fine for entertainment but adults know better.

    Cute meme. For context what were the dates of those statements? Just asking considering that studies using real world data prior to the emergence of the Delta and especially the Omicron variants did show that vaccinated persons were less likely to transmit the virus. Also, absolutely no one ever suggested the vaccines were 100 percent effective at preventing infections. Clearly not accurate now although the vaccines are protective against serious cases of Covid requiring hospitalization.
    By the way here's another conspiracy theory only it's the opposite of the usual attack on vaccines.

    It is now confirmed that ivermectin does nothing for COVID. There was a double blinded placebo controlled trial which is the gold standard for clinical trials across 93 locations

    Effect of Ivermectin vs Placebo on Time to Sustained Recovery in Outpatients With Mild to Moderate COVID-19.
    Conclusions
    Among outpatients with mild to moderate COVID-19, treatment with ivermectin, compared with placebo, did not significantly improve time to recovery. These findings do not support the use of ivermectin in patients with mild to moderate COVID-19.

    Again, a complete lack of critical thinking on your part. So let's say that your arguments are true (for the sake of argument) and that viruses don't exist and people only died from panic and psychosomatic issues. Wouldn't a "vaccine" have completely ended those issues, since you now had doctors telling patients that they couldn't get sick because they took a medication? So why didn't it? Almost like there was a real and contagious virus...

    I didn’t say people died of panic. Although stress alone is a known death accelerant. Why do you think cardiologists counsel their patients to avoid stress ?

    Rather, I said * effects* of panic and posted supporting links. Again, I maintain that ALL excess deaths can be accounted for under effects of panic, despair and vaccines.

    So why would a person who panicked because doctors told them that there was a disease then panic after the same doctor told them they had a way to avoid that thing that just caused the panic?

    Vaccinated people are the most panicked people.

    I'm very certain that award goes to Russian conscripts.

    There are no Russian conscripts as distinct from US conscripts in Iraq 2003.

    Note: Settling old scores duly-noted.

    As stated, your own arguments make no logical sense. You are arguing that people panicked about Covid because doctors told them there was a virus (which doesn't exist). Then, those same doctors came out with a way to stop people from getting this non-existent virus. Then you are arguing that the same panicked people took the medication and stayed panicked, despite the same doctors telling them that they couldn't get it any longer. So how did they become panicked in the first place, if they were ignoring the doctors that you are arguing created the panic and whom they presumably would need to listen to in the first place to become panicked?

    I am not arguing that the vaccinated are the most panicked. I’m OBSERVING the vaccinated are the most panicked.

    But again you devoutly ignore that hundreds of thousands were killed, essentially due to the effects of panic, even in advance of so-called vaccines for so-called pathogen.

    No, you are arguing it because you have provided no falsifiable proof to your claim. As such, it is an argument, not an observation.

    No, I am disputing your claim by pointing out that your own arguments can't even withstand the slightest bit of pressure on their internal validity. If I panic over a non-existent thing and the people who convinced me the non-existent thing existed that they have a cure of the non-existent thing, then I will no longer be panicked. If a person has a psychosomatic reaction, and then are handed sugar water and told that it will solve the issue, they will think the issue is solved.

    I’m afraid you’re lost in your syllogism. Evidently, people don’t work that way ...

    Or, and this is a crazy thought, perhaps they don't work the way you think they do, since your thoughts don't follow any sort of logic. Perhaps, and I know this is a crazy thought, there is a virus, and the virus spreads between people. That certainly seems to fit the data more than your everybody panicked and some died from that, but then received a medication that the people you say panicked them encouraged them to take and promised them it would stop them from getting the virus, and, yet, that made them panic again and get sick theory.
