The week's question
In March 2025, in the thread "Re: OT, out", Umm asked the members: "Do you think it is because America is made up of magical soil that makes businesses based in America magically profitable?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has stated that the 1918 flu pandemic was caused by a lab virus from vaccine research, a defective influenza vaccine. Let’s analyze what a lie this is.

First, in 1918, 107 years ago, virology was in its infancy and the ability to do such vaccine research was impossible. In 1918 it was not known what caused influenza; the influenza virus was not discovered until 1933.

The bottom line is that a vaccine virus could never have been imagined in 1918. The influenza virus arose in 1918 by zoonosis, the natural transfer of viruses from animals to humans. The problem is that there are millions of people in the US who do not or cannot see how ridiculous Kennedy’s claims are; they can’t see how Kennedy is lying to them.

Kennedy and his anti-vaccine followers count on this; they prey on everyone’s lack of knowledge. They want to convince you that malevolent scientific forces are to blame for all health problems.

They know that the desire to have someone to blame is strong in the US. It’s a way to sow discontent and confusion, a way to make vaccines sound dangerous. Kennedy and his followers are liars; do not believe anything they say.
