You cannot prove a hypothesis with 100% certainty, that is true. But you can falsify it – with even a single counterexample – and then you are certain it is false. Anything else is pseudoscience. And it's particularly not okay to make

Of course. I'm entitled to block ads and I'm entitled to watch things that are offered for free without paying. If you want to be paid for something, don't give it away for free.

No. If content is published for 0€, it's free. If you want money, charge for it. That's the only business model that ensures that businesses serve their customers and thus the only legitimate one.

What other people's genitals and reproductive organs look like is generally none of your business. In other words, their sex is irrelevant.

Mutating viruses tend to get less deadly, not more. Killing its host does not benefit it. Of course containment measures work -- for keeping 80 year olds (and few other people) alive for a little bit longer at the expense of everyone else

No, not at all. Lockdowns, quarantining and other human rights violations don't help us get rid of the pandemic, they prolong it. To end the pandemic faster, more people need to get exposed to the virus.
