Other people say "that isn't allowed." They don't recall the lines of Marine armored vehicles coming up I-5 during the Rodney King riots, the MLK riots, etc. (04-12-2020, 01:40 PM)Hussein Wrote: I guess it's the most accurate prediction: This isn't even a cold reading. Given the frequency that viruses pop up and try to gnaw on our species it was a pretty safe bet. The sudden vanishing act isn't too likely though, so I'm betting on it being a failure as a whole. Here are my prophecies for 2020: - A powerful hurricane will strike the southeastern US. - There will be violence in the Middle-East. - A volcano will erupt in Indonesia. You can all worship me as the next Profit when these come to pass. (04-12-2020, 07:18 PM)Paleophyte Wrote:(04-12-2020, 01:40 PM)Hussein Wrote: I guess it's the most accurate prediction:

Australian based anti-vaxxers are denying any COVID-19 pandemic, and urging others to ignore isolation advice.
Doctors are slamming anti-vaxxers’ advice not to self-isolate or follow social distancing measures as “dangerous and possibly illegal” after one NSW anti-vaxxer claimed it was “impossible” to catch a virus. The anti-vaxxer, Tom Barnett, who unsuccessfully ran for a seat in the 2019 Federal election has come out with a video downplaying the risk of COVID-19 and encouraging Australians to ignore social distancing guidelines. “You can’t catch a virus; it’s impossible,” Barnett a one-time candidate with the Involuntary Medication Objectors Party said in a video posted to social media on March 30. “The only way that you can catch a virus is by having it injected into your bloodstream.” Barnett recommended people stop social distancing and washing their hands. “Pull your finger out, get outside and do normal things,” he said in the video. The footage exploded online and was viewed more than 186,000 times on YouTube. In the video, Barnett tried to back up his assertions by boasting of his intelligence. “When I did my last IQ and aptitude tests, I was taken into a separate room and I was interrogated to see if I cheated,” he said. Tom Barnett has come out with a video downplaying the risk of the coronavirus and encouraging Australians to ignore social distancing guidelines. One place it found support was on a Facebook page linked to the far-right neo-Nazi group Reclaim Australia, where followers claimed the virus is a conspiracy orchestrated by governments to force people to get flu shots. Zero evidence is offered to back up this claim. I'm a creationist; I believe that man created God.
Anti-vaxxers are creaming their jeans over this. Screaming "proof" at the top of their lungs while not actually presenting any. In other words, just another Monday.

Welcome to the Atheist Forums on AtheistDiscussion.org
From the Guardian:
Quote:Pew surveyed 8,914 American adults, asking them whether they believed that 1) the current strain of the coronavirus “came about naturally”; 2) “was developed intentionally in a lab”; 3) “was made accidentally in a lab”; or 4) “doesn’t really exist”. Apparently 3.3 million Americans simply don't believe this virus exists at all.

COVID-19 Conspiracy Theories
Mary got a conspiracy craziness in her FB feed about the virus, and military maneuvers in Wuhan, and Bill and Melinda Gates being tried for crimes against humanity for conspiring to reduce world population by spreading vaccines that sterilized people in Africa. I have no interest in searching out such batshit craziness. I don't want to expose myself further
She FB messaged our friend " if you really believe this shit don't put it in MY FB!" He replied "fair enough" How is it that people can seem normal and intelligent and still fall for that shizzle?
I was walking the dog this morning and got into a conversation with a neighbor who went off on a rant about California governor Newsom, and how the economy is getting trashed. Of course, he's drinking the chump's kool aid. He loves that jackass.
If you get to thinking you’re a person of some influence, try ordering somebody else’s dog around.

Seriously, he seems almost.......normal. At least he did!
I dunno whether or not it's rampant in the US, but downunder there's a common theory that
the virus is being spread by "radiation" from the new 5G phone towers. I'm a creationist; I believe that man created God.

I think that's an interesting and important question, no matter how seriously you meant it. Unfortunately we still don't know.

I would guess the answer is because such people's intelligence is specialized for certain areas of application. They are compartmentalized, so when faced with unusual situations they are at sea. The unknown really is a danger for them.

It is just baffling that they gravitate to some "reverse Occam's Razor" that somehow sews up all the little pieces and avoids common sense like the plague, pardon that pun.
They don't think about things that make their brain hurt.
