He shows that areas in the world that didn't follow our mandates are now doing just as well as we are. So how many lives did we actually save, and how many did we just unjustifiably take credit for saving? And more importantly how many of those saved lives could also have been saved by less draconian and more targeted measures?

Wow, this nutcake is just in time for Xmas!

Are you able to offer a more coherent rebuttal? Name calling is what children do. Adults generally offer up an argument; it does not have to be a good or perfect one.

Sir, you are actually proving him to be accurate in his description of cult like behavior. The proper reaction when you run out of arguments should not be to lash out. Instead it should be to reexamine your position.

A cult leader that seems to dislike mask wearing and actually got covid just got voted out. The people who follow him seem to be more cult like than someone who listens to SCIENCE.

Lots of people get Covid, and there's nothing wrong with wearing a mask in hopes of avoiding it. But as the example you cited, most people recover fully (even if they're old and fat like him). And very very many people test positive without ever having any symptoms at all.

The SCIENCE isn't nearly as clear cut as the dominant narrative suggests. And it doesn't DICTATE one course of action as prescribed by some authority.

You know this to be true... since your most recent comment in another thread you say:

     There is so much science doesn't know

These arguments are just like flat earther arguments.

If you just shut down your brain and start casting aspersions when confronted with skepticism you'll continue to act in blind defence of the dominant narrative. You are smart enough to do better than that.
