Why do Americans believe the coronavirus outbreak is a hoax?

Okay.
COVID-19 exists and is not a hoax.
But what is also undeniable is that the media coverage of its effects have been, and continues to be unprecedented.
Every few minutes we are assailed with the latest non-peer reviewed study, prediction, model or anecdote about how contagious or debilitating the disease has been or might eventually be.
The same can be said of the over reactions of our policy makers and politicians.
There have been similar outbreaks every few years and at no point was the possibility of pressing the “pause“ button on the global economy mentioned or even considered as an option.
So there is plenty of reason to suggest that while the virus is real, the so-called “pandemic“ exists primarily in the minds of those who prey on people’s fear and who seek to create a disaster which they can use to their advantage.
Is this a conspiracy or just like minded people acting in their own self interests?
It depends on what you want to believe.
Oh, and the notion that an exorbitantly-priced degree can make a person immune to gullibility Is refuted as easily as making a list of scientific theories generated by highly educated people which are now known to be quackery.

How does history factor into your assessment, e.g. MKultra, the CIA, Fort Detrick, Sidney Gottlieb, Bill Patrick III etc?

This Covid-19 disease is real. The manufactured news stories are a hoax- “the new normal” it certainly goes hand in hand with this manufactured virus so that big pharma can sell their manufactured vaccines. If not enough people are willing, they will begin their mandatory vaccine laws. Its already happening folks- just open your eyes. #australia #ireland

perhaps education levels also correspond to a willingness to listen and obey authority, and not actually, as this article seems to suggest, a better understanding of critical thought.

educational elitism and academic superiority go hand in hand with liberal supremist belief systems, and when “fact checkers” themselves are biased, they cannot be trusted.

perhaps more people feel it wise to trust their actual environments rather than biased news sources and proven skewed data (in all directions).

is covid-19 real?! i don’t believe most would argue it is not real… yet how serious it is and whether it actually warrents the dramatic measures some believe it must, is what is up for debate. i for one feel that is purely political, and to be honest, the # of deaths, while no doubt tragic on the individual level, is but a grain of sand in terms of the population as a whole. if anything, the word pandemic now to me means less than it did prior to covid-19, as before, it ilicited fear in me, and the images it conjured up were thqt of every other person falling gravely ill and dying. that simply hasn’t been the case, and how to even count those whose lives it apparently took is up for serious interpretation, as each country measured this differently. one simply cannot trust “experts” without questioning their bias and personal agendas.

CDC mortality rates for Seasonal Flu 4X this Covid. But never before were we surfs required to wear a mask/ face covering/ bandana/ cloth. The mask is submission. THEY COMMAND you to cover your mouth. What comes out of it is evil / filthy / diseased / etc. Get A Damn Clue.

world mortality rate for corona virus……0.00006%. Say no more

COVIDidiots can wear masks, gloves and social distance however DO NOT force me to do it!!! PERIOD!
If masks protect you, you do not have to worry about getting infected from me!
If they do not work, then it does not matter whether we wear it or not.
If you wear yours to protect me… well just give me your paycheck every week. I will appreciate it much more than you looking like an idiot.

Years go by and instead of getting smarter people fill their heads with random “facebook” conspiracy theories.
To all the peeps that don’t believe in COVID, why don’t y’all visit a hospital filled with infected people? Make sure to leave your masks home, don’t worry, nothing’s gonna happen, right?
People who believe that this whole thing is fake are just trying to show that they’re different, you know, animals usually show different dances or their body features when they want to attract others, peeps are trying to do the same but the “you are all dumb COVID doesn’t exist” isn’t going to make you look better, it just makes y’all look like idiots in front of those who can use their brain properly.

1. Public places -> It’s a public place, it’s your choice to wear a mask or not, but don’t try to force others to do the same, nobody’s telling you what to wear, where to go, who to vote, how to behave so don’t force your opinions on others.
Private places (ex. stores, gyms, etc ) -> If the place requires you to wear a mask, do it, you’re on someones private property and you have to respect that. How would you react if someone came into your house with, let’s say an animal that you don’t like, or what if they come in naked? What if they start destroying your home? Well, the person doing those things might be like you, you don’t want to wear a mask because you don’t believe in COVID and that person might destroy your house because they think that you don’t deserve it. Or if a party has a specific dress-code, you won’t go in there dressed completely random, won’t you?

2. Want me to tell you why the mortality of COVID isn’t as bad as the mortality of other viruses? The pandemic’s here for ~8months, places closed, a lot of people stay home, schools closed, a lot of people respect ( social distancing ) etc, that’s why people didn’t get infected, you’re not protecting yourself every single day from the flu, right? But people are protecting themselves from COVID. Before talking about the mortality rate try to analyze things, 1st of all you’re not a scientist and you don’t have actual proof, if you’re a fast-food worker that doesn’t even understand how science works don’t make random assumptions. Scientists work hard to obtain their license and to study and analyze things, nobody tells you that you’re selling air instead of burgers so don’t tell those scientists that their research is fake.

3. If you believe in a god, why do you believe in it? There’s no proof, nothing to show that it exists. The concept of “god” is a political thing created by humans to manipulate others and make them obey the law, king, etc, so why do you believe in god?? There’s plenty of proof that COVID exists, actual proof that you can go and check out with your own eyes but there’s 0 proof that god exists.

Covid is a huge hoax invented by a former employee of Ross Perot who also happened to be an old college buddy of none other than Walter Mondale.

I have a degree. I have many coworkers who also have college degrees and have similar beliefs as myself. We are of this era and are well aware of the media misconstruing information. I’m not sure why the need to induce panic. But I recognize that for what it is.

Why would dying “with covid” vs, dying “from covid” counted equally? I think the number of cases generated are biased, thus not accurate. Hence a biased scientific observation and not a pandemic. I am worried of catching this virus as I would not want to catch the flu or any other virus. However past that point, the remaining rhetoric sounds more of a hoax to me.

I don’t believe corona virus is a hoax and i dont believe that its a bioweapon either but what i do believe is the fact the world is over populated and governments have been known to create things for population control. And thats a fact and it seems to be about every 10 years something new comes out and kills a lot of people. Lets start when i grew up in the 90’s the 2 big killers back then was polio and hiv/ aids then in the early 2000s … around 2010 it was anthrax due to post 911 terrorism acts. Or the act of terrorism created by george w bush. But believe whatever you want to believe but the truth is out there and i do believe 100% china was planning for covid to be used as a tool to control over populated areas .. they even went on national television and said that they didnt mean for it to become an outbreak now really sit there and think about that statement. And that is the truth and everything else created after is a hoax. They already new about it in the US last year around this time. Trump canceled his flight to china in october and november and around december and january of 2019 the CDC was already posting articles of an outbreak 2 -3 months before the whole “Pandemic” even started .

Although the virus is real it’s nowhere near as life threatening as they make it out to be. 600,000 people in the US die from cancer annually and another 600,000 die from heart disease. That’s a total of 1.2 million people yet that’s not declared an emergency! Why is that? It’s because they can’t trick people into thinking heart disease and cancer are going to creep into their bodies like a virus. The drug companies plan on making trillions from the vaccines for this barely lethal virus. Hospitals are being paid for each positive covid test, every death that’s declared a covid death and for every person sentenced to death on a ventilator. Billions have been paid out to each state so they can play along with this farce. This thing is all about money and the reactions or lack thereof to the 1.2 million people who die from cancer and heart disease are proof of that. The masks were a test to see how stupid and gullible people are and of course 99% of all people are just that. I do not comply. I had 15 years of hazmat training in a full body suit and gas mask, in the military so I know everything Fauci and the CDC recommends stems from their own investments in vaccines. They have conflicts of interest and they are not to be trusted. I will fight against this nonsense until everyone accepts the truth, that this is a huge scam for unprecedented amounts of money.

First off, let me just say, I admire and respect everyone’s opinion and knowledge, I mean, it truly gives me relief to read these honest point of views. I have been asking others whether they believe this whole thing is a hoax, and what exactly were their thoughts, and I got about the same answers that I’ve read on here. A few people on here explained that people with less education and knowledge are going to be the ones to believe it’s a hoax. The thing is, I DON’T feel it takes ANY education to necessarily interpret that the virus is real. What has been making people hysterical is the media(which is honestly, enemy #1), sick and tired of the media, WHY are reporters and news stations allowed to run free and report half ass written articles, with hardly any evidence?! What people honestly don’t realize is that, educated or not, this country is separated, because of the virus, media, elections, “blm”, and other controversies. We are back to square one yall, back to the 60s, MLK, prejudice. This virus has ghosted the real problem, but REAL sensible people like me won’t allow the wool to be pulled over my eyes, I am educated, but it doesnt take a rocket scientist to see thru this fog of weak country.

I’ve been in the hospital twice this year and they did not have very many covid patients. I think its kind of weird when I asked them where they were, the nurse said they were at the other hospital and later that day, the hospital i was at, transfered me to the other hospital and I was scared.. When I got there, I asked them to keep me away from all the covid patients, and they told me we don’t have any here, they thought they were at the hospital I just came from. I’m just saying what happened to me and I am not saying its a hoax. Just don’t know for sure.

Regarding the man who died in Texas after attending a covid party: Did anyone else who attended the party die from a viral infection? Did any one else at the Texas covid party come down with the flu?

Why aren’t masks worn by medical persons for covid protection not treated as medical waste and burned as a bio hazard? I know for a fact that no hospital or doctor’s office treats them as a biohazard. Why?

I wear an N95 mask when I mix cement, thinset, and plaster. One day two of my helpers decided that the surgical paper mask and a cloth mask respectively would be sufficient protection while I was poring thinset powder out of the bag to be mixed for use. The were three feet away from me. Each had a coughing fit immediately after the dust migrated their way. And when they removed their masks their nostrils and face looked like someone hit them in the face with flour. Their masks were the ones recommended by the CDC/ government as face coverings. They didn’t work for low concentrations of cement dusts…Why are the going to work for aerosolized virally loaded mists.

The mask is little more than a morale shield. For some it make them feel like they are doing something and little else.

To WIlliam T Fox : I don’t know too much about cement but I do know that most infections I’ve read stems from the virus being in droplet form which those surgical masks can stop with about 85-90% efficacy. If you stop the droplets and it sticks onto the mask, then the mask did it’s job of preventing you from catching the virus. If somehow the force of the droplet was stronger and goes through the 1st layer of the mask, then hopefully the 2nd and 3rd layer would have slowed down and stopped it from entering your nose when you inhale. I don’t think cloth masks are good at all unless you have inserts/multiple layers, the layers of protection varies. So about your helpers – Small dust-like materials can easily go through cloth due to the size of the pores. Albeit the surgical masks will do a little better job but I do know the sides have space and NOT as tight as an N95 mask.

Well over 40 attorneys worldwide have filed freedom of information acts to countries, state departments, and health departments and covid testing labs for proof of Sars cov 2. Including the hardest hit countries like Canada, USA and Australia They all replied to the FOI’s that they cannot provide any documented proof of COVID-19 virus because they dont have anything isolates. The head attorneys name is Christina Massey. Research it yourselves. I don’t know anything about elites pushing viruses and all that mumbo jumbo. I do however want proof before I believe something, that does not make me a conspiracy theorist.

VA hospital for 2 hrs. No one in Xray, No one in Lab, No one at prescription window. All workers talking about what they did over the weekend. No one doing their job. Where are all the sick people? Watched outside another hospital to see if any one going to ER, no one showed up for 3 hrs. Where are all the sick people?
