Current Events > Why do some say the pandemic is phony?

(+) Yeah! (+)

Ive been reading some people really dont believe there is a pandemic

---

There are people who believe the planet is flat again also.

Because some people have decided to make it political, and because bipartisan politics are so entrenched in American politics, when one side says A is a fact, the other side compulsively says A is a lie.

some are paying the price for that because of ignorance. they get sick (maybe they'll learn from it) that is what we all hope for if they survive.

Because theyre people

this sounds like the best answer to me

there's also an element of people wanting to think they know something that the majority doesn't. if you sell the idea to people that they're smarter than those around them, you will find buyers.

Because the majority of the deaths are people who had poor health and were likely to die soon anyway.

Fear, and the desire for it to not be real

Because the majority of the deaths

death isn't the only outcome, and when you have something like 50k new cases a day you have to think about hospitals and how many beds they have.

Majority not all. It's extremely rare for a person who isnt elderly, obese or with something like heart disease to die of corona, but it does happen.

well, it could be even more rare than it is right now, so i don't know why you're trying to downplay it. kind of a shitty thing to do.

Because the media on countless occasions has proven they can't be trusted. Because the government has shown time and time again how corrupt they are. Because ideas are being censored and people are being cancelled at an alarming rate. Only one side of the argument is being allowed to speak, and they advocate for some pretty extreme measures.

But they died right after they got the virus. I guess flu deaths are phony too since very few perfectly healthy young adults drop dead from it? Tens of millions of Americans have pre-existing conditions. If they die, clearly they were about to die anyway and whatever new thing they came into contact with is coincidence?

I can't run or move very fast due to medical conditions. If I get hit by a car or eaten by a bear that wouldn't have caught a healthy person, does that mean I was dying anyway and I actually died of being disabled?
