The earth actually orbits around the sun; not the other way around.

Maggots do not simply arise from inside spoiling meat; they hatch as pupae from eggs deposited on the meat by flies.

Women's reproductive systems do NOT "shut down" during "true" rapes to prevent conception.

By definition, ALL islands are "surrounded by water".

Ivermectin, hydroxychloroquine, bleach and ultraviolet light suppositories are totally ineffective in preventing or curing covid.

The vaccines now being used by most sane people to combat covid are the safest and most effective ever devised----period.

Finally, there are no known examples of human beings with naturally orange pigmentation.

1. The Earth is Not Flat

Otherwise, we would have sent you to the east and pushed you off.

Well done, Atticus!

2. Almost accurate

Chlorine and UV light are totally effective at killing SARS-Cov-2 OUTSIDE the body.

Although we now know that the major vector for the virus is air I still (out of now an almost 2 year habit) put my delivery packages under the UV light I bought for this purpose.

I used to wipe everything I bought too, but I skip that these days.

Ivermectin was very effective in vitro in killing SARS-COV-2... but at a concentration (or dosage amount) that is toxic to humans. Again, in vitro (a petri dish) and not in vivo.

And we shouldn't denigrate Ivermectin all that much, it has been a wonder drug in the developing world at eliminating various parasitic disease in both people and animals.

10. SARS-Cov-2 is the virus

COVID is the disease.

Both are correct

3. I feel this is how republics fall, stupidity and propaganda dominate.

Lecturer and Philosopher Noam Chomsky stated five years ago that the Republican party was the most dangerous political organization in our world. Their stupidity and lies are being swallowed by the gullible morons in red hats!

4. We know the earth isn't flat...

It's why we talk about the atmosphere, not the atmoflat...

[erronis]

5. The capos of the repuglicon masses actually believe in science, medicine, education -

They just act like total jerks to appeal to the masses.

If they paraded their degrees and wealth and family connections, they'd be considered the elite of the elite.

Instead they act like total hucksters - part of the madding crowd. Harding and Shakespeare would have had a great time with this period in history.

6. When power is more important than the pursuit of truth...

... this is what happens.

At least power and knowledge still TEND to be correlated in this country, but the lazy-minded people who only want to burn their calories on the pursuit of power will simply complain about the more knowledgeable as "elitist" for the sake of their attempted power grabs.

7. You're just using that heretic science stuff.

Yeah, but the Bible indicates that Pi = 3 and the moon makes its own light.

???

[rickyhall]

8. Carbon dioxide never escapes the atmosphere.

[calimary]

9. Yep, yep, and several more yeps!

Seven, to be exact. One for every one of your statements, Atticus.
