Cmon Keith. I've read that Hillary was dating an alien from outer space
and Bill Clinton's girlfriend had three breasts. If you read from the
right sources, you can read any crazy viewpoint. On the Debian-User
mailing list, I once read that people who don't like systemd beat their
wives.

>Basically Covid is the Flu 

The preceding statement is biologically wrong, and from a practical
viewpoint, except in 1918 flu never killed the more than 1 million
Americans and more than 100 million worldwide that Covid did.

And speaking of the 1918 flu, people voluntarily donned masks because
they didn't have emergency rooms and ventilators. They were in charge
of their own health, so they made sure they paid for or created their
own masks.

>and has become a political issue.  

Exactly! If it were merely a health issue, there would be no pushback
on masking for an event with more than 10 people in the room.

Exactly. Start the book by explaining logic, math, biology, chemistry
and physics. Let people know how to compare what they read with the
principles of science. Help them understand the scientific method, and
how studies are done and validated, the importance of peer review. Tell
them a little about hoaxes, snake oil salesmen, and conflicts of
interest.

Oh, by the way, PHP was created by the devil to entice men to marry
three breasted alien women from the moon in order to sabotage pizza
with psychiatric pills.
