But you at least have to admit that it seriously undercuts the credibility of that site if they engage in every conspiracy theory out there. It's very hard not to simply dismiss somebody else's arguments if they believe that the Holocaust and Covid are just made up. Human attention is limited.

Why would you want to dismiss someone's research because you disagree with one of their premises? Do you automatically assume they've fudged their findings to fit? Because that sounds like source picking as well.

Are you familiar at all with the folks over at http://radiochristianity.com ?

Ockham's razor would suggest that if somebody finds documentaries about flu vaccines containing coronaviruses and a blog post highlighting the Jewishness of all the people it considers guilty of "debasing" Weimar Germany compelling, they are relatively unlikely to have spotted truths everyone else missed involving transgenderism, Davos billionaires and 14th century Jewish practices because of greatness of medical knowledge or lack of bias...

I haven't read the links you posted but from the title it doesn't sound like either of them imply the holocaust or COVID were made up. IMO GP's comment applies doubly here, you're just conditioned to have a kneejerk reaction over any non-mainstream opinion.

>I haven't read the links you posted

The links posted are from http://radiochristianity.com.

They are explicitly holocaust deniers. http://radiochristianity.com/holocaust-deprogramming-course/

The Plandemic "documentary" nonsense alleges that there is a decades-long conspiracy involving Big Pharma, the CDC, Google, climate scientists, John Oliver, and Bill Gates to cause the pandemic in order to benefit from the vaccines. They go on to make other specific allegations. Here's a sample.

1. That Italy's COVID-19 epidemic is linked to influenza vaccines and the presence of coronaviruses in dogs.

2. That SARS-CoV-2 was created "between the North Carolina laboratories, Fort Detrick, the U.S. Army Medical Research Institute of Infectious Diseases, and the Wuhan laboratory.

3. That flu vaccines increase the chance of contracting COVID-19 by 36%.

4. That despite the goal of preventing coronaviruses, flu vaccines contain coronaviruses.

5. That "Wearing the mask literally activates your own virus. You're getting sick from your own reactivated coronavirus expressions."

And more.

Are you conditioned to having a kneejerk reaction when people call out bullshit? Automatically posting a dismissive comment without bothering to read the provided sources sounds like a kneejerk reaction to me.
