Why are the people that say you can’t question science, the same ones that say there are 56 different genders

Gee, it's like they finally found something that the "climate change" playbook actually works on. Keep the people scared and panicking, and they will let you do whatever you want!

Scientists make a habit of questioning science. 56 genders? Is that a Facebook thing?

Yes, it’s mind control. Be afraid.

What? Science questions science. It's called the scientific method.

Yes, but if you question this, then that is hating science.

The title itself implies the coronavirus exists without offering any scientific proof.
Faith-based.

It takes a special kind of stupid to be a denier. I do not have these kinds of imbeciles in my circle, so it's a moot point. Stupid sticks with stupid.
9/11, climate change, Vaxxers, moon landing, Corona, all the same cohort of uneducated gullible idiots.

Indeed. Shows an obvious bias from the author.

There ya go, that is exactly the point. This thing is going to be done when it is done. I look forward to what really happened, the history of this epic event. But that is yet to come. Meanwhile, take care of each other.

I think it is a horribly written piece of obvious bias.
Nobody denies coronavirus is a real thing. There are opinions running wild in both directions about what the future of it will be.

Nobody knows what the future holds.

This author has his mind made up, and before writing the first word decided that anybody who doesn't agree with his opinion must be stupid.
Hard to have a meaningful conversation with such a closed mind.
