Covid - what can be discussed outside of the conspiracy forum?

[Mason Michaels]

Again, I look forward to good conversation with you and your friends if they ever get approved, but I don't expect good people to last long. You have no idea what goes on here.

I talk about COVID on a very regular basis, but I dont do APP.

Alright, but why not APP?

Well, I haven't been here long, but things seem alright at present, and that's good enough for me :-p. As to my friends that needed approval, one had been approved previously, though one of them hasn't posted in over a week now. The other one was just approved. I think I should add that I don't know either of them that well yet- the first is a Russian fellow that I bonded with over our shared dislike of the official western Ukraine war narrative. He started 2 threads, the first of which is in this very forum:

https://www.justplainpolitics.com/sh...p?196352-Hello

I suspect he got frustrated with questions he was being asked, which I suspect was happening because he didn't register via email. It seems his last post was on another thread he created called Questions:
https://www.justplainpolitics.com/sh...uestions/page3

I wish he'd written me more about his issues, maybe I could have helped.


Anyway, I bonded with the other friend of mine who's just been approved very quickly over some mutual interests and our dislike of a certain moderator on the former board I used to post at (unlike me, I imagine he still posts there). His name both here and there is Paradoxical and he's now posted a bit in my Ministry of Truth thread.

Obedience Masks are never going away...we must be trained:

I'm currently living in Mexico. Mask mandates have all but disappeared where I'm at. The only place where a government official said it was, the same official then proceeded to take off his own mask a little down the road of the conversation. I didn't feel right taking off mine since he'd just said that the mask mandate was still on, but it was definitely kind of weird with him having his off :-p.

APP is mod controlled propaganda. Learn to use thread bans to weed out the hate on the main board. There are quite a few intellectuals here.

You aren't one of them!

Do you really think such a put down helps in furthering discussion on the subject of this thread?

Come on Apollyon, he was having a civilized conversation with me, can't we try to keep it that way?

[Hawkeye10]

Alright, but why not APP?

Because the rules I am told are different there, and I tend to forget where I am. Also I say what I want to say, I am a free mind/free speech absolutist.

The terrain theory is not accepted in scientific circles.

Yes!

"Can't we all just get along"!

"Can't we all just get along"!

It's certainly not always possible, but I think we should at least try to remain civil with each other. Disagreement is fine, but I don't see insults as being a positive contribution in a conversation.

Alright, understood.

The terrain theory is not accepted in scientific circles.

I imagine this is in response to something I said. For those who aren't familiar with the germ vs. terrain theory:

Germ Theory Versus Terrain: The Wrong Side Won the Day | westonaprice.org

Now, I think it's apparent from the link above that not all those who believe in terrain theory believe that viruses don't exist. However, a branch of those who believe in terrain theory do, such as Dr. Robert Young:

Dr. Sam Bailey has also made it clear that she is both a terrain theory adherent as well as one who no longer believes that contagious viruses exist. Here is a recent article she's written critiquing another doctor's assertion that he has seen a picture of a virus:

She is also part of a group, mainly composed of doctors, that signed their name to a paper on what should settle the virus debate:

Around 10 days ago, I made a thread in Above Plain Politics essentially asking this question. Thread is here:

https://www.justplainpolitics.com/sh...ovid-narrative

I still haven't gotten a response from anyone, but I'm guessing that may be in part because not many people post over there. So I thought I'd ask over here and see if I get better results.

No one will take you up on that, the only people tempted to already know they were horrifically wrong about covid.

Well, if it makes anyone feel better, at first, I was one of the crowd believing the official line. The more I looked into it, though, the more I branched off from said line.
