I find that distinction odd. The definition of a pandemic is "a disease prevalent over a whole country or the world."
Is your claim that they are really saying is that there is a virus, but it is not "prevalent over a country or world"? For the pandemic to be a "hoax", there needs to be either no virus, or it isn't worldwide. That's a strange hill to die on to defend denialism.
If you're going to say "well really they are referring to something else when they say the pandemic is a hoax" then you're arguing about what you think they meant, not what they said.
- tekknik 5y ago> For the pandemic to be a "hoax", there needs to be either no virus, or it isn't worldwide. Or it isn’t as widespread or dangerous as being made seem. That’s the other way. And this quote was mad what, July 2020? Further if you look at the stats for global population lost, COVID claimed about 0.06% to 0.1% lives. It’s barely on the list of the top 18 pandemics by deaths. It got beat out by pandemics which we have no or incomplete data on. So while you may think the world is ending, it’s really not. The media once again attempting to control people and keep them indoors and vaccinated has caused mass panic.
- ericb 5y agoIn the US, more people died than US soldiers in WWII, which in any common parlance was "dangerous." Rationalize harder. Ready, Go!
- tekknik 5y agoCause viruses and war are the same right? WWII also took 3% of the world population. So using your own example COVID is less deadly than WWII. But go ahead and cause more panic. It seems to be working well right? /s
