There's been conspiracy theorists, racist lies and misinformation on the US media for nearly 30 years, turning Americans into zombies and it HAS TO STOP!!!

Disinformation does not require evidence, logic or ethical standards, just people firmly stating what they want to believe. So those that want to get information get convinced by this, invest their own self worth in knowing these "hidden truths" and become ardent defendant of the lies themselves.

On the other hand true information is much more modest, and in situations like these is bound to change somewhat as we begin to understand more and more, so people get disappointed and exasperated.

So, when choosing between a difficult truth and easy lies its only natural the lies have advantages. But precisely because of that is why everybody has the responsibility of repeating and recommending only precise information backed up with scientific evidence.

most experts believe that the deaths are under reported, nursing homes cant be sued for their residence that die of old age, they can be sued for residence dieing of covid19 as that makes them liable for not providing due care

Big Pharma will cause a pandemic to get funding to develop a vaccine. The guy who fixes broken windows during the day is the same guy chucking stones through plate glass at night.
