    I don’t think it’s too far fetched at all to entertain the idea that Biden didn’t catch COVID, that the story was fabricated to allow a clean transition to a new candidate. The magnitude of lie and manipulation isn’t shit relative their other tactics.

    If one assumes all politicians are selfish, evil liars until proven otherwise and understands the processes of the system then one can often predict the future. And, most everyone will hate them for it until they’re dead.

      Its also not too far fetched for him to catch covid. I’ve caught it twice in the last 12 months despite boosters and meeting much less people and being responsible. For me, it was a sniffle, for him probably a good deal worse and he might have realise his physical fitness is worse than he thought, especially after the debate and the reaction to it. Nothing like some illness to show us were not infallible, even when potus.

        I agree. My point is that humans greatly overestimate that which favors themselves. We don’t know the truth. We may never. And, the masses are severely underestimating the probability that it’s one big lie.

        It’s not that I don’t care about you personally. But, your personal anecdote is far from the data required to back your claim. I’m not asking you to dig up data. I already know the media isn’t reporting the epidemic anymore. It just doesn’t make much sense to support your statement in that way.

          My personal anecdote was not proof. It was letting you know that its common without data.

          I dont thinknit was a lie. If it was, it was a pretty pointless one.

          Youre clutching at straws and when you are askibgbfor evidence, but not asking, while spouting conspiracy theories, you don’t make a good argument for anything.

                A week delay makes meaningful participation impossible. As I’m on .world, my best guess is that a solution is best initiated by your instance’s moderators. If you’ve not already then you should find the means to report.

                  The problem is world, I understand. Its too full. So its slow to federate with all others.

                  Thanks, but I prefer the concept of distribution, so happy to converse with all the other instances rather than just world.

          I think the better question is: Why does it MATTER if it was a lie or not? Who exactly got harmed if Biden needed an excuse to back out to save his own ego? Whether Biden actually had Covid or not changes almost nothing
