Five years ago, the gifted and talented were behaving exactly as they do now - smugly telling each other how clever they were and how stupid everyone else was, but how many of the claims they were passing off as the truth five years ago have been proven to be correct? The fact that Gluey endlessly refers to his dubious belief that he was proved to be right over “Russian collusion” tells you all you need to know.
Most people are ardent believers in germ theory which is made up cobblers. Even though they are true believers in the theory few would be able to articulate what it supposedly is.

Some would make a nervous stab at describing it which would probably be along the lines of pathogenic viruses exist and can be communicated from person to person to cause illness. That's what the (non-existent) virus leading to the equally mythical Covid-19 is and was about.

That virus has never been isolated and purified and sequenced by anyone. Nor has any other allegedly communicable virus, ever. They include the equally mythical seasonal Flu strains, Spanish Flu from a century ago, etc.

And because most are germ theory believers, 5.5 billion of them (according to official stats) were conned into getting injected with unknown, untested, experimental biologicals and chemicals for something with a 99.9% survival rate.
