   Well I’ll be… I did just provide one source, didn’t I?

   “Just because Trump says something doesn’t necessarily make it true.”

   I never said it did. I was pointing out that that’s probably what A Common ’tatorwas referring to.

   “Perhaps I should have been more clear – the 6 foot “social distancing” had zero data behind it.”

   Actually, it does have data behind it, and that data is in the sources I pointed to. If you’re going to ignore (not just disagree with, but completely ignore) the sources I provide, I see no reason to continue this discussion.

   “Abraham was Isaac’s father.”

   I didn’t mention Abraham. I mentioned Amram, who was Moses’ father.

   “But our government outright LIED to us.”

   … and the German government lied to Germans, and the French government lied to the French, and the Japanese government lied to its people, and the Icelandic government lied to Icelanders…

   Do you really believe that all of the world’s governments actually agreed to lie to their people about this? Do you really believe that it’s even possible to get that many politicians to agree on anything?

   “It takes two to three years to develop and test a safe and effective vaccine against a virus.

   Cold and flu viruses (that includes Covid, by the way) mutate very rapidly, with an average of yearly.

   Do the math."

   Is that why smallpox, and polio, among other diseases are no longer the problem they used to be? Is it because the vaccines can’t keep up with the viruses mutating?

   “The only reason doctors pushed the Covid shots on people was government mandates.”

   According to the information I found online, 9 countries mandated vaccines for the entire population, 6 mandated them for vulnerable groups, and 29 countries mandated vaccines for certain professions (the US is in that group). There is bound to be some overlap, but if we add those together, that’s 44 countries (max) out of a total of 195 countries in the world. What about the 151 countries that had no government mandates. What reason did the doctors in those countries have.

   “Thousands of doctors have already come out and said that the shots (which are in no way vaccines, even buy their own standards) had no effect against Covid, and only served to kill people… Some doctors and nurses even killed themselves after seeing how many people they killed and crippled with their compliance.”

   Do you have a source for that, or do you just expect everybody to accept any outrageous claims you make?

   “Purple People Eater: Take a look at the reams of data behind social distancing: Oh wait, there is none. Nada. Zip. Zero.”

   Oh wait, there is.

   “Take a look at the effectiveness of masking for the Vid: It’s equivocal at best.”

   Wearing cloth masks decreased the risk of COVID-19 infection by 21% in cohort studies, while surgical masks reduced the risk by 49% and N95 respirators by 69% in case-control studies (source: scielo . br (search for “Effectiveness of wearing masks during the COVID-19 outbreak in cohort and case-control studies: a systematic review and meta-analysis”)

   “Take a look at the data behind the vaccine’s effectiveness at preventing spread and contraction: Oh wait, it shows no benefit.”

   Oh wait, there is benefit.

    Sorry if I misunderstood what you were saying.

    Some people, whether they were vaccinated or not, only got mild cases of Covid-19, and never talked to a doctor or went to the hospital. Those cases were never recorded. But a certain percentage of people who got Covid-19 had some complications, and went to the hospital or talked to their doctors, and those cases were recorded. The reason that those who had been vaccinated had fewer complications was that fewer vaccinated people got the disease in the first place, and when they did get sick, it was milder and with fewer complications.
