Free speech. Ask what you want. Just like I have the right to chuckle and point out you how ridiculous it sounds.

Goes against decades of reviews, research and summaries of what happened in that era that have been challenged, evolved and honed over time into the conclusions you can read about today. So you'd need something pretty big and evidential to counter thousands of peoples collective research and probably millions of hours of interrogation of the events. It's probably one of the most extensively researched viral events in human history, and for good reason.

And no. Rather obviously in 100 years COVID will not be reported the same as it was in 2020. Just like Spanish flu isn't now. Facetiousness

Feel free to investigate though. Always good to learn about new topics.

And all I did was point out to you that although you have the right to ask it, its a pretty stupid question based on nothing other than feeling.

God knows what your daily life is like if you can't believe anything anyone says. Well, apart from anyone that questions whatever you define as 'the narrative' or that aligns with your own POV.

Scepticism is fine but only if you're prepared to accept that not everything is actually worth being sceptical about. And also only if you're prepared to accept that sometimes the powers that be are actually right? Much like sometimes independent dissenting voices are right. But they're both not right all the time.

Otherwise you're just wasting a lot of time and energy on something you have decided you know the answer to anyway. Don't see the point. Unless you're retired and have little else to do than lament for evermore, in which case maybe I can sort of understand.

At a slight tangent, but Covid was used as a massive personal data gathering exercise.(I think I've mentioned a few times)

I was looking at going to Glastonbury in 2024, but even to register for tickets you have to fill in a load of personal information (address, mobile number, etc) and a passport photograph.
Registering is FREE.
I understand security reasons for this and trying to dissuade touts.
Now, excuse my scepticism, but having a few hundred thousand people on a database , with all their contact details and a photograph must be worth a lot of money to some sectors. I wonder where the details of these potential festival-goers ends up ? Government departments, just for starters.

it's ...

I look forward to changing my POV when you win the Pulitzer prize for discovering that the Spanish flu was in fact one big sham.

I may need to revise my signature up yet again.

Revised.
