Your memory has some holes in it friend.

> literally no one that claimed the vaccine was 100% effective

Well, apart from the President of the US [0], and Pfizer themselves [1], and many others.

> I don't recall anyone saying it was racist for saying Wuhan was an origin point

Many, many people claimed this; including a NYT reporter [2] and WaPo [3].

> I cannot speak for anyone else, but I don't think this was ever disputed.

Yes, this was heavily, heavily disputed. Even Nature claimed mRNA was superior [4].

I hope you reflect on the fact that it took me only about 5 minutes to dig up these links, and that what you called a "nosedive" can now be seen as an educational experience.

The "nosedive" was specifically because people like you cannot stick to a topic and instead make everything about COVID conspiracies, as I already stated.

That said, I'll give a look to your links, though I seriously suspect that they don't validate everything you're saying.


> people like you cannot stick to a topic and instead make everything about COVID conspiracies

I haven't talked about Covid here for a long, long time.

I responded to your claim with a long list of easily verifiable instances of "conspiracy theories" being proven correct - which was then immediately flagged despite containing no misinformation, rudeness, etc. The irony is lost on people, apparently.

I'm sure you can find something wrong with all those links, if you try real hard - but if you put as much effort into verifying them I bet you'll learn a lot more.
