Thank you. It is timely, as the "to virus or not to virus" debate has been heating up on substack. See the recent posts by Steve Kirsch and A Midwestern Doctor and the zillions of comments on them. Overall, the virus promoters come across in their comments and articles (except for Steve Kirsch's latest one where he summarizes his discussion with someone on the other side) as arrogant and are often abusive. An recurring example of the abuse is the term "virus denier" -- a term of propaganda designed, probably in a CIA Mockingbird lab that came up with "conspiracy theorist" to slander anyone questioning the fraudulent Warren Commission report, to evoke assocations with Holocaust denier.

Meanwhile, the "show me the virus" camp (full disclosure: I'm in that camp) mostly makes scientific arguments that, if picked up, would advance the discussion.
