    Open thread for anyone who wants to prove their newest favorite conspiracy theory.

    Pony up a working theory, and provide evidence to support it.

    It's true, RG. You usually have a decent amount of a wistful class about you that I admire, even envy.

    This, ain't that.

    Your arguments (more like whining) are insignificant and easily dismissed.

    and no. We have threads for all sorts of conspiracy theories. Seems like these newest needed some place for the idea to be vetted. Not entirely sure MM was altogether serious, but hey, always willing to hear someone out.

    So your role here (self appointed) is to start threads without any comment just as place holders in the event someone wants to talk?

    DMC forumcop

    Millennial_Messiah stated this as one of the things he believes. I doubt he is alone.

    He is full of in a lot of things, but thought he might want to prove it out.

    Seems like not. Another throw-away troll attempt to pwn the libs.

    Sound familiar?

    Any thoughts on the OP?

    Did Fauci plan and cook up a global pandemic virus?

    That video does not support that the theory that "Fauci planned and cooked up a pandemic."

    That video shows an epidemiologist predicting that there will be diseases. It is about as shocking as an oncologist predicting there will be cancer.

    Lay out a working theory, and provide some evidence.

    but first:

    Post hoc ergo propter hoc (Latin: 'after this, therefore because of this') is an informal fallacy that states: "Since event Y followed event X, event Y must have been caused by event X." It is often shortened simply to post hoc fallacy. A logical fallacy of the questionable cause variety, it is subtly different from the fallacy hoc ergo propter hoc ('with this, therefore because of this'), in which two events occur simultaneously or the chronological ordering is insignificant or unknown.[1]

    Post hoc is a particularly tempting error because correlation appears to suggest causality. The fallacy lies in a conclusion based solely on the order of events, rather than taking into account other factors potentially responsible for the result that might rule out the connection.[2]

    ...I certainly hope so. If accurate, it'd be a boon.

    It'd take MF Biden offin' the hook-a-smidge for killing over 50k Americans in the last 30 days.

    You ought to be ashamed for shunning me, RG. It ain't right.

    You can dish it.
    You just refuse to take it by setting me on your ignore list.

    Personally I think COVID started in a Wuhan lab and if Trump didn't the dog on investigating it, he'd have been able to campaign on China being an enemy and would have won in a landslide.

    This. A modicus of competency probably vaults him over the top.

    Trump had every chance to be a true American hero. Some men just can't answer the bell.

    [1]"U.S. Government Gain-of-Function Deliberative Process and Research Funding Pause (from 2014) "
    Rejected. Not relevant to proving assertion. A funding pause from research in 2014 actually is proof that such research was stopped years ago.


    [2]"Gain-of-Function Research: Ethical Analysis"
    Rejected. Not relevant to proving assertion. Analysis of what should be done is not evidence of what was done.


    [3]Website: Research Involving Enhanced Potential Pandemic Pathogens
    "To date, only three [project proposals] involving ePPP research were reviewed by the HHS P3CO Review Group ... However, NIAID ultimately decided to redirect all funds under the award to support alternative approaches that do not involve ePPP research."
    Relevant, but is evidence that no research was performed, disproving assertion.

    [4]Ban on gain-of-function studies ends
    Rejected. Relevant, but not proof of assertion. See previous.

    [5]Gain-of-function mutation of microRNA-140 in human skeletal dysplasia
    Rejected. Not relevant. Study is a gain-of-function analysis of one human gene (microRNA-140), and not of any virus. Mutation likely caused by pathogen, but study did not involve inducing gain-of-function on micro-organisms.

    So, you not only have no evidence of assertion, but evidence assertion is false, and, if my own understanding is correct, one study you included because you didn't understand it.

    Par for the course in conspiracy theory. It fails utterly and is actively disproved by available evidence.
