> Nowadays you can't really question anything that's taken as common knowledge. During Covid times it happened that stuff that were questioned in a year were disproved in the next year. Yet people who questioned it were treated like assholes (like it's already happening here).

Care to give examples? Because I don't remember anything those "questioning" were right about. I'll give you a short list of things they were wrong about that I can remember:

- "masks don't work"

- "it's just a flu"

- "vaccines are either perfect or fully ineffective"

- "they are using the crisis to control us and will never open back up"

- "as soon as the next US president is elected it will suddenly be over"
