    A little about the author of the linked article who by the way is an economist not a scientist.
    Michel Chossudovsky (born 1946) is a Canadian economist and author. He is professor emeritus of economics at the University of Ottawa[1][2] and the president and director of the Centre for Research on Globalization (CRG), which runs the website globalresearch.ca, founded in 2001, which publishes falsehoods and conspiracy theories.[3][4][5] Chossudovsky has promoted conspiracy theories about 9/11.[6][7][10][11]

    In 2017, the Centre for Research on Globalization was accused by information warfare specialists at NATO’s Strategic Communications Centre of Excellence (STRATCOM) of playing a key role in the spread of pro-Russian propaganda.[12] A report by the U.S. State Department in August 2020 accused the website of being a proxy for a Russian disinformation campaign.[13]

    If Hitler were to come back and post that Gator basketball won the national championship you go googling for dirt on Hitler.

    There is a term for your fallacy.

    Now that the weather is nicer, so are the pictures. Strickler Knob today. That’s the Shenandoah river in the first one. One of the cooler camping sites anywhere in the second one. The summit in the third.

    I had stayed away from the pcr test stuff. But it does not take a scientist to say hmmm. Now that we can look back at the insanity and the total ignoring of basic science and medicine principles.

    Although it may be or may be not be ad hominem the credentials of a source still matter.

    Offhand I’d say your credibility is in the dock. In any other context you’d consider his credentials impeccable.

    You’d further agree with him, on certain points, if you were a more reflective American unafraid to ruthlessly examine his own country’s foreign policy.

    Finally, in casual conversation, you would probably not grant a meaningful distinction between indentured servitude and slavery.

    And you haven’t even gotten to his article so as to refute his (and my) contention that there was no pandemic!

    The thread that will not die.... I wonder if this thread goes down as the most pages ever on this site, ad nauseam.

    You know, they update the vaccine to match what they predict will be the dominant and/or more virulent strain.
