    Its also not too far fetched for him to catch covid.

    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.

      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

      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.
