I don't think anyone of any significance said the virus doesn't exist - just that it doesn't pose anything like the level of danger that the hysteria would suggest, which is correct. It wasn't to enslave mankind as such,

This is just more egalitarian cope. Of course there are local differences which is why these need to be normalized with a population-wide sample. In that case, sex differences present themselves clearly. As the article states, surprise surp
