I think you just responded to one.

Except for all the ones who were killed by the vax. How much would you

Do you mean like all the antivaxxers who died from cardiac events
shortly after receiving the vax? They were antivaxxers! They were so
antivax they must have died from extremism.

Bugmen like to imagine their way to correctness.

You are shifting the burden of proof. This is a common tactic of people
entrenched in a corrupt or cultic belief system. This kind of
nonsensical flawed debate tactic probably seems quite normal to you.

I don't need to prove the virus doesn't exist. The burden of proof was,
is, and remains on you who claim that a virus is ravaging humanity and
putting us all in mortal peril. Scaremongering is not proof.

You need to prove that it does exist. You and your friends in the
imperial regime are claiming that a virus exists that is a extreme
mortal danger. Zero proof of the existence of this virus has ever been
provided. We even have a letter from the CDC stating that no isolate of
the virus exists. No isolate means nada, zip, zilch evidence. Them's the
rules of bona fide scientific inquiry.

Instead of shifting the burden of proof you need to realize you are
living in a delusional cult that believes in the virus fairy.

Flu shots aren’t perfect, either. I think they’re around 40-50% effective,
but we still get them every year.

I do, and from your post I assume you do as well. I'll hazard a guess
"Argot Brogue" doesn't.

The fools are the ones who didn't get vaccinated. Many of them dead

Might be interesting to hear the proper explanation why newborns are
vaccinated, when we know that immunity mechanisms are not yet developed
... so far I have not heard coherent reasoning for this.

If we follow the logic that we are told about the vaccines that their
purpose is to trigger immunity response by indroducing an "weakened"
version of some pathogens ...

This doesn't apply to these MRNA jabs they put into people nowadays.

Not true. All vaxers are going to die. Your argument is invalid.

Yes. One just have to look into kill bates foundation human experiment in
India with their HPV "vaccine" and the disastrous outcomes. Yet people
trust this mental case ... It's beyond me why.

Kill files were added to usenet clients for a reason. The trolls attracted
by the unfortunate choice to use the v word in an usenet subjectline are a fine
start to a killfile if you don't already have one in place. Far better
than trying to set them straight.

God you are thick! Before people were vaccinated, many got VERY ill and
needed ventilators and lots of hospitalisation. After Vaccination (and
of course Covid infection) a lot less people get VERY ill and a lot less
need hospitalisation.

And 100% of alcoholics started on milk.

I think it was Heinlein who said, "Oxygen is a toxic, highly addictive
gas. As little as one breath can trigger a lifelong addiction, which
invariably ends in death."

Pretty much everyone is going to die. The questions are when and how.

1) Unless the mainstream media is just making things up, that burden
has already been met.

2) When the fire alarm sounds in a building, it is advisable to head
rapidly for the exit without first investigating whether it really is
on fire. Hence, your assignment of the burden of proof is not
rational or conducive to survival.

In that case, he can be credited with being the inspiration for dihydrogen
monoxide. Which deadly substance is also found in most vaccines!

I have no expectation of being able to accomplish that.

Presenting counter-arguments only makes it harder for them to
fool other people.

What, all 30 people who regularly monitor alt.folklore.computers?

You're wasting your time.

That's not related to the vaccine. This is due to the virus evolving
into much less dangerous strains.

But don't worry, if you've had the fraudulent vaccine, you'll likely
get this particular collection of viruses over and over again until
your number comes up, assuming you don't "die suddenly".

The EUAs were fraudulent. They are only permitted if there are no
adequate, approved, and available alternatives. But there were
alternatives, namely hydroxychloroquine, ivermectin and budesonide.
However, those drugs were demonized by people who were stupid, evil,
or who just wanted to line the pockets of major pharmaceutical firms
to the tune of billions of dollars.

Ventilators didn't help anyone. If you went on a ventilator, odds
were very high that you would leave the hospital in a box. We knew
this from data out of Wuhan.

But they are, you just don't hear it from them ... which might be obvious
:) They have scripts that are read all over the world, word to word. There
are a lot videos out there about this. Nice little compilations they are.
You should check them out, might enjoy them ...

This has been nice little argument people who really believe everyword MSM
spits out have been using. Yet this argument only stands IF one really
believes everything MSM is spitting out.

Sure it's true in it's core, but cannot be used as analogy for certain
things.

Which is the exact same logic people who are not agreeing with the
narrative we are pushed ... so in that sense your argument is that you are
also a troll, right?

Oh. No. I forgot that you KNOW you are right ...

Just because you didn't catch the things you listed there, your logic is
that my argument "also yu are going to die" is invalid and I'm a liar?

That's one rational thinking right there. With that much emotions
involved, you must also identify as a female, right?

So far it's not been explained to me how things that are not alive
(mayority of biologists says so, not me) can "evolve" ... even if we
believe darwinian evolution this is not making sense. And these are the
accepted "facts" of medical "science" we have ...

But ... maybe those are possible by adding some Virtual particles into the
mathematical equations to prove it's possible ... maybe it just need firm
BELIEF into the cult of science.

If you don’t understand it, maybe you should take some biology courses. I’d
rather believe someone with a PhD or MD than someone who’s done a lot of
“research” on the internet.

I'm afraid some people you can't even discuss things with - because they
don't approach the world in any sort of rational way. The clues are
often in the dogmatic, extreme way they put their case. Unfortunately
you get a higher percentage of the nutters here than you meet in real life.
