Who told you the experts are lying? Do you take the word of some random
Facebook/Xwitter loony (or local politician who believes them) over
somebody who has made a career out of studying the cause and treatment of
diseases? Do you find it easier to respond to someone who pushes your
buttons, rather than someone who tries to give you accurate explanations
that you cannot be bothered to expend the mental effort to try to
understand?
 

You seem very offended. This huffy faux emotional reaction is just what I’d
expect from somebody from your shit outfit. Ukraine lost. Democrats lost.
Nannies lost. You lost.

Time to stop sulking and find a real job now. You have about six weeks
until you get shit canned. You can’t dominate the information battlespace,
you can only create more scorn and distrust. Slink away forever. I can tell
by your idiom the exact organization and even building you work in.
