Sure there is. Are you one of those people that thinks things are true only when you believe they are? Yes I think you are one of those people.

It was on fire when I laid down on it.
I don't know. I know that when I was given a mental accuity test, they asked me several things - which were: What day is it? (It was literally in the middle of the night.) Who is the President of the US? (It was an election year and in the middle of December - around December 12 or so, and I did remember the two candidates but it didn't matter because I didn't know WHO was the President at that exact moment.) Count backwards from 100 by 7s. (I said triumphantly "93!" and that's as far as I got, because we couldn't use our fingers.) Anyway, yeah, I failed that particular test.

Not unless it's been altered or falsified.
I'll take data over anecdotes any day of the week. Especially when the anecdotes clash with the data. Human memory and perception are subject to all kinds of errors, biases and beliefs.

It sounds like you're one of those people.
The data does not support your claims about "death stab." Quite the opposite, in fact.
Pardon me for choosing that instead of the bald assertions of some random guy on the internet.

You go right ahead. Meanwhile, like I said, I will go by personal experience. I mean, I do have a lot of it to go by, and it is not subject to all kinds of errors or biases. Beliefs, perhaps, to a small extent. But as I have stated, since I was traveling so much, I had MULTIPLE shots against COVID (still got it but who knows what would have happened if I wasn't vaccinated?) Guess I will need to look at what happened to PEOPLE I KNEW WHO WERE NOT VACCINATED BECAUSE NO VACCINES WERE EVEN AVAILABLE WHEN THEY GOT COVID. Like, everyone I knew who got COVID before the vaccines (eight people). And then, like I said, the one, ONE person I knew who died with COVID had had five "vaccines," and one just a few weeks before she passed away. It didn't help her one iota. Oh and the two kids who lived with two of the people who got COVID before the vaccines never even got it.

Whatever you think is true right?
It will eventually be revealed just like social distancing ending being nothing but a load of horse ****. Just like the hunter laptop was Russian disinformation until it wasnt. It astounding how many people love being duped

You've demonstrated in this thread and in the COVID thread, that anecdotal testimonies are often quite inaccurate, when compared to the actual data.

Yes. That is much more likely to be reflected in the scientific data than from some random poster on the internet who has clearly fallen down some kind of YouTube rabbit hole of misinformation.
Sure thing, dude. You anti-vaxxers have been saying this for what, almost four years now?
Billions of vaccines have been administered worldwide at this point. When is it that we're all supposed to drop dead, exactly?

Yes. Of course.
Why should I take your word for it over what the data actually shows?
This was over when you made bold, baseless claims you couldn't back up.

What was the data that 6' was effective "social distancing"? Oh right it just "showed up". You make a mockery of this stuff but can't figure out why people don't trust t it.

As I thought, when faced with empirical data that you don't like, instead of acknowledging it, taking it in and learning something, you decided to make a snide comment instead.
Which tells me that you've now hit the cognitive dissonance wall.
Good luck with that.

I did learn something that there were enough people who were censored on Facebook as Zuckerberg admitted because what those people had to say didnt fit the approved narrative.
Look i can respect your desire to save face but to continuing the charade is sad but I get why you feel you have to. Its ok

Aaaand now you're trying to change the subject and deflect to something else. So like I said, when faced with empirical data that disputes your narrative, you hide behind your defense mechanisms and pretend they don't exist, then accuse others of doing the very thing you're doing.
It's clear someone is trying to save face here and is projecting it all over the thread.
It's just common sense that standing a bit farther away from a person who is infected with a virus is going to offer you more protection than standing right beside them as they cough and sneeze all over you. Even more so if you've/they've got a mask on. It's bizarre to me that grown adults can't even catch up with 19th Century science, let along 21st Century science.
