We'll never see it, so all we're left with is opinions.

Here are two people that seem to have done their homework.
Rather sobering.

Bakdhi - "having done his homework"...?

He was a researching virologist in Germany who earned himself some good merits, yes. That was many years ago. Until he retired, and it seems he did not come to terms with that and that now nobody listens to him anymore.

He is one of the most outspoken general anti-vaccers, and currently is sued in Austria for "Volksverhetzung" (incitement of the people) in context with his corona denial. Several book publishers, three at least, have thrown him out of their programs. He now is activist and candidate of a corona-denial party candidating for the upcoming elections. Last year I had the great displeasure to hear him repeately on TV, and he shone with simply ignoring any competent argument countering him by studio guests who were competent medical experts and virologists themselves, and not only did he just ignore anything he did not like, but was referring to something that I can just describe as mysticistic esoterism (while claiming himself to be Buddhist). I am close to Buddhism myself, I think I can form an opinion on the difference there.

But it really peeled my foot nails off when I red his recent comments on the vaccination campaign in Israel, which he described as having turned Israel into "living hell, the most hell-like place on Earth now", and further, translated from the German: "The people who have fled this country, from this country where there was arch evil (…), and have found their country, have turned their own country into something that is even worse than Germany was. So unbelievable. (...) That's the bad thing about the Jews: They learn well. There is no people that learns better than they do. But they have now learned the evil - and implemented it."



Avoid, avoid, avoid. Highly toxic. And blatantly stupid. His danger lies in that he mixes a bit of medicla truths with more half-truths and then a generous dose of untruths. That way many can find somethign in him that makes him attractive for them.

The Austrians sue him for Volksverhetzung. And rightly so.



A pityful example for a once bright and celebrated academic whose mind then kind of degenerated due to age decline, and after becomning a pensioneer not adapting to that he no longer was at the centre of attention. A patriarch that is not wanted anymore - he takes that queer.

Since most of us lack knowledge about viruses and bacteria we "create" our own belief. Some take the standpoint and believe Corona exist.

Then there are those who believe it's a fake/hoax/conspiracy-We have free speech and free thinking, so if someone want to believe this then it's ok.

BUT it's not ok trying to convince others that Corona is fake/hoax/conspiracy.

This is what people try to do and there are those who believe them-This is dangerous.

I'm divided in this, on one side I say write what's on your mind, on the other side I say hold back in what you write.

For me Corona EXIST..A little sister, a cousin and my brother-in-law was sick from Covid-19.

Yesterday: I was visiting a family member in a long term care nursing home. The caregiver was feeding my relative and we were discussing the COVID pandemic. Since my sister works in a different assisted living facility, I asked the caregiver what the experience in her nursing home was. She replied that they did have covid in some patients and some staff. Then she paused and said she lost her daughter, 33, in April 2021 to COVID. I expressed my sincere regrets. Oh man, that was heartbreaking.

I don’t think there is one person on this board that believes COVID is a fake/hoax/conspiracy. Nobody I know is a conspiracy theorist, unbeliever or anti-vaxxer. Everyone in my family has had COVID even my 84 year old mother had it. I see valid questions regarding the hypocrisy of leadership, statistics, severity, origin, and politicization of this mess. What I see is when people question and grow tired of the perceived B.S. and just want to get on with life they are a accused of being conspiracy theorists, unbelievers or anti vaxxers.

I got one shot and I’m done, Ive moved on, you want to wear a mask and isolate go ahead. I’m maskless, at work and contributing to the economy. I might die one day by heart attack or stroke, COVID, gunshot by a robber, or head on collision going to work, or we all could be hit by a planet killer piece of rock from outer space. Let me make a toast. Let us drink to gain of function experiments may they continue unabated despite all warnings. After all those warnings are just opinions.

^ I have seen a few on FB who more or less see this Corona as a hoax.

Some of my friends think the government is overdoing it..that Corona isn't that deadly. They are very critical to the Danish government.

There is no doubt some call this a hoax. The government has earned the idea that they overdue things. Some thinking this is not a surprise. Yes, COVID can be fatal. So can many other viruses. We as a society needs to start learning to live with it. Stop sounding the warning bells and flying the red flags. This virus will not go away.

I think my own government is currently over doing it too, not only over doing it but I think some are a bunch of hypocrites as they make proclamations that everyone but themselves have to follow.

Another thing that made me confused.

I've read it here and on FB. friends and people saying I should use my common sense and think logically. The problem is some of the friends say Corona exist and the other say it don't.

As written before - How would it be able to create such a world wide conspiracy - Yes I lack imaginations so I don't how it can be done.

In the beginning I didn't knew what to believe the information was massive hard to tackle.
Then my little sister and her husband(my brother-in-law= got it and was sick then I new it was real. Furthermore I do not have the guts to say hahaha it's a fake I don't need to follow the Danish government instruction.
No I said Not educated but for my and other's life I follow the instruction given to me by the authorities.
