I remember a lot of people, some pretty well financed, making the same assertions over and over and over and over again and getting really, really annoyed when it failed to stop people questioning what they were saying. I remember one of those people, a regular poster here, finally dying of COVID, but hey, according to your article, he was just at an age when people die anyway, so who cares? Funnily enough though, his fellow travelers did seem to care. I can’t figure out how that works - they should have stood by their principles if they had any.
