This remains true. Prove to me that everyone dying is actually COVID deaths. Covid related sure. Covid caused...tenuous at best.

---

Such a pathetic comeback. It's so obvious that you know you have nothing and you just won't admit it. Just come clean: maybe it will be cathartic for you.

Let's have a real debate about this. You can use that PhD big brain of yours. You can argue that cardiac arrest is a pre-existing, ARDS, pneumonia and renal failures were pre-existing conditions that killed people, unrelated to COVID. If you were anything other than a pathetic troll, you would be able to do so. But you won't because you can't.

---

I will scientifically explain without fallacy everything you asked for if you can explain to me how BLM protesting can give one COVID immunity.

---

Another even more pathetic response. Why would I need to argue a position I've never held, and which bears no relation to the existing discussion? You can't and won't scientifically explain anything I asked for because you can't. You have no idea what you are talking about and with each passing response it becomes more clear.

I'll make you a promise, if you want to engage on the 6% idiocy so that we can expose your thinking to everyone here, I will engage with you in good faith on the BLM protests in relation to COVID. I will not take any positions inconsistent with those I've held previously. You are free to scour my posting history to see what I've said. Not that you will because you're a low-energy troll, but the opportunity is there. Grab a red bull and be better.

---

This entire thread is about BLM protests curing COVID. Did you not read the title of the thread and the OP?

---

The entire thread is not about BLM. Your last two attempts at substantive posts: here and here have nothing to do with BLM. Even your trolling is internally inconsistent.

So stop being coy, tell everyone why you think I'm wrong.

---

You literally just linked a post of mine that links BLM protests to COVID. Lol. Thanks for that.

---

I linked to your posts where (1) you state, without evidence, that COVID has "morphed into something benign" and (2) you fell prey to a Qanon scam. Neither of those have anything to do with BLM. This thread started as a pathetic trolling attempt re BLM but has since moved on. You should learn to keep up with your own troll threads.

---

Where did I specifically say "unit2sucks" is wrong? Your victim hood complex (like most on the left) has clouded your ability to think clearly.

---

Nice try. Dunking on you doesn't make me a victim. Either you agree with me that you fell prey for a Qanon scam and that you stated without evidence that COVID has "morphed into something benign" or you think I'm wrong. Please share your answers with the class and be prepared to back it up. You know you can't which is why you are going off and starting other weak troll threads.

Just delete your account and start over.

---

It has morphed into something benign for many regions.

The work I am doing is far too important for me to delete my account. People like you are too busy arguing over the meaning of 'the'. Someone needs to keep it real.

If you can clearly demonstrate one instance in which I have ever been wrong on this site then I will delete my account. If you can't, then you should delete yours.

---

"benign for many regions"? What are you talking about? That's really the rub though, as you are unable to substantiate anything you say. You fell for a Qanon idiot conspiracy theory and continue to pretend that you didn't (see here for one example). You have as much credibility as Baghdad Bob.

But let's set all your trolling aside, you've said "If you can clearly demonstrate one instance in which I have ever been wrong on this site then I will delete my account."

Challenge accepted.

Here's what you said in January in response to a question about how Aaron Rodgers would do against the Niners: "He's going to have a career day". End result: Not a career day. I could probably find more predictions you've made since you're basically always wrong.

By the way, I did find one thing you posted that may have actually been inadvertently correct: you said the dumbest and most harmful thing Trump has ever done is block COVID testing to keep the numbers down. Of course, you will never admit it now that you've chosen to troll that COVID is benign.

---

How can anyone watch his performance that day and not say it's a career day? Did we watch the same game?

It's not that hard to find the article I was referencing. Even a simple SciFinder search would've revealed it.

https://academic.oup.com/cid/advance-article/doi/10.1093/cid/ciaa1275/5897019?searchresult=1

---

What planet do you live on? Rodgers went down 27-0 before the half and had three turnovers in the game. If you than that was a career game for him it makes me wonder where you were when he was at his peak.

As for the article, how does that show COVID is "benign in many regions"? The conclusions don't support that assertion at all. And it's based on one reinfection lol. You've turned into the worst kind of troll - a boring one.

Quote:

Conclusions

Epidemiological, clinical, serological and genomic analyses confirmed that the patient had re-infection instead of persistent viral shedding from first infection. Our results suggest SARS-CoV-2 may continue to circulate among the human populations despite herd immunity due to natural infection or vaccination. Further studies of patients with re-infection will shed light on protective correlates important for vaccine design.

---

---

If I am indeed a troll (and a boring one at that) then what does that make you? The dude who spends time scrolling through my old posts to prove you're right.

Do you even realize what I just made you do? I made you search my old posts and (amazingly) you actually did it. I'm actually sortof amazed I got anyone to invest the time to do this. It's hilarious to me.

To be honest, I was actually stunned that you did.

Given your posting history, it was like shooting fish in a barrel. Also considering how much time you spend posting deplorables propaganda, you are the last person to accuse anyone of it wasting time here. Well maybe the second to last.

Doesn't change the fact that you are too dumb to realize when you fall for conspiracy theories.

Hanky is like that idiot in the White House who embarrasses himself and then says he was being sarcastic.

The dude searched my post history and cited very specific examples about this and that and meticulously referenced it in his post. I'll admit he's probably a decent lawyer, but lawyering gets you no points on BearInsider.

The funny thing is I bet I can get him to do it again even though I already told him about it.

I'll wager if he's honest it took him far longer than 5 minutes.

Don't worry, once COVID dies down, hanky will reverse his contrarian trolling and claim that people shouldn't let their guard down on COVID. After all everyone said the bubonic plague was bad, but COVID has killed 200,000x as many people as the plague so far in 2020. And that number is likely to rise!

I know in your confirmation bias addled mind you just post without verification any COVID denier drivel you can find, but this one provides a very specific claim that should be easy to verify. What is the reference point here? Who is this person? Why should we care?

COVID most certainly killed many multiples of the flu in the US both last week, last month and this year. There is no comparison. Any attempt to conflate the risks from COVID and the flu in the US is designed to mislead.

You are a contrarian who has been proven wrong time and time again. About COVID and just about everything else you post about. If you really wanted to be a contrarian, you should be like Costanza and just do the opposite of what first comes to mind. In your case you would end up correct almost all the time. Instead, and rather than admit that you are full of it, you scour the internet for misleading headlines in other countries or push fake news.
