You go to the movies and believe everything you see about X-men and Galaxy Guardians. So when the media bluffs you, you simply accept everything they say.
I definitely don't do this and
I know you don't either. The fact that we're on this forum is indicative of the fact that neither of us trust the media.
I believe in the scientific method, but I know that bad science is published and shared, especially once an issue has been politicized. I don't trust the WHO, I don't trust the media.
I come from a family of doctors. I know people who work in hospitals, I know people who have intubated patients who are on their last legs, I know people who have contracted covid and have lived, I knew people who contracted covid and died.
Some people who get it have no symptoms, some people who get it have long term symptoms, some people die. This isn't the flu, it's just not.
We don't know if herd immunity will work —time will tell in Sweden's case— it looks like things are getting better there (though I think it would be silly to not recognize the fact that the government eventually endorsed social distancing measures, as well as limiting the size of large gatherings). I'm going to continue keeping my distance, avoiding unnecessary travel, and wearing a mask (like the MAJORITY of people in my city) since the statistics have shown these choices keep the infection curve flatter.
If you'd like to go out and put yourself and others at risk, you can do that, though I hope you don't regret the damage that you do.
Okay. You speak some serious talk. I like that. So, what does the scientific method say about science theory? Is science theory fact or not? Here's what I mean.
We have only seen viruses since the advent of the electron microscope (EM). So, we DO know that they exist. However, whatever they are, and how they really work is something that researchers have had to more or less assume, and even guess at, over the years. Why? Because you can't see a living virus actually moving and doing its "thing" in an EM. You can't even see them in color in an EM.
Over the years there have been other microscopes that some claimed they could use to see living viruses. The medical society doesn't accept most of these. But they do accept the Microsphere Nanoscope (MN), invented in 2011. Using the MN, one can actually watch living, moving viruses, and lots of other things.
The question is, does what we see in the MN confirm all the assumptions about viruses from over the years? Or does in show we were mistaken? Or is the verdict still out because of the complexity that we are seeing with the MN?
Please be patient with me.
Consider the methods used for isolating and identifying viruses... and other things. Way back in 1889, Dr. Koch revised his process for identifying tiny particles... like viruses. In 1937, Dr. Thomas Rivers upgraded Dr. Koch's Postulates. Others have refined even Rivers'.
The point is that there are processes that have to followed to get a pure sample of a virus from a sick or dead person. Since you are a person who is connected with the medical, please find us both a report that follows Dr. Rivers' process (or a better one) properly, so that we can determine that Covid was even identified in the first place, back in 2003.
Regarding why I am asking this, there is a doctor, Dr. Andrew Kaufman, who says that the identification work surround the SARS-CoV-1 and SARS-CoV-2 was sloppily done. This means that the viruses weren't really identified. No identification means we are basing all of what we are doing with Covid on false info.

Then go here
https://www.andrewkaufmanmd.com/ and watch the video. More videos can be found at
https://www.bitchute.com/. Search on both "Kaufman" and "Andrew Kaufman."
Then, find us both some properly done, basic, Covid-identification reports so we can see that Covid really exists... or not.
