    There was a guy in the skeptic sub on Reddit who came in to argue like mad that viruses didn’t exist.

    What did he think they were? Bacteria? People and doctors colluding to fake symptoms? Demonic possession?

    I mean, said guy has to have had the common cold at some point.

        You joke, but I have an uncle who is basically on the liberal version of the COVID conspiracies who seems to be saying exactly this now. That big pharma is engineering everything from pandemics to allergies to psychosis to sell drugs. And that we should revert to monke to survive.

      Good question, I would like to know as well. I wonder if he thinks that getting “sick” is something that bodies just do, no virus required. Or maybe that it’s because of the fluoride in the water. Idk, just spitballing here; my money is on demonic possession for sure.
