If at this stage you want to believe that sniffle, cold and flu viruses exist, and ivermectin either disables viruses or prevents them entering cells, then go right ahead. To me, you’re just Plato’s cave dweller, making sense of reality by watching the shadows with no guts to look at raw reality. You have zero, zero knowledge of the underlying reality. You just know that people took ivermectin and it created some result, so you accept the authority’s story about what happened in between those. You have never, not once seen a virus for yourself. You just believe that ‘people much smarter than yourself’ know all about it, and you delegate your mind to them, questioning nothing. I’m not coming after your belief in viruses. I’m coming after your entire approach to knowledge - pragmatism.
