Why not give a flat earther a huge prime time platform? I mean that in of itself proves nothing.

There have been many attempts and even in my own circles and in the end the it has nothing to do with the facts and all about fear and badly calculating risk.

I can understand the mentality if you're hesitant of the vaccines being new and want to wait, but just understand that the current data shows you're taking a higher risk by not taking it. Your choice in the end, though.

People who are full anti-vax are a different thing altogether.

He died last year. He also had successful launches previously. And those didn't halt anything.

The world, collectively, has been a bit busy with other stuff since last year. If anything COVID conspiracy stuff has pushed out all other conspiracies.

As opposed to generalizing from self doing as it does?

You didn't see it so it must not exist?
