Exactly. And yet we had a period where questioning things on COVID such as the effectiveness of masks, the health and social cost of isolation vs. treatment of a pandemic, the source of the outbreak and the effectiveness of a vaccine etc were dismissed as conspiracy theories and that isn't a healthy situation, and you seem to agree with me on that 👍

As you can see below. In 2020 we were told to ignore the conspiracy theories and scientists know what happened. Four years later it seems it likely wasn't a conspiracy theory and the scientists were wrong.

So it's good that it was challenged and it's good to have an open mind on these things.
