Don't get me wrong, it might be utter bollox but if I was making that statement I would try and support that with some data / facts / statement rather than just shout it down.
I certainly didn’t call the statement “Utter b***s**t” or “confirmed bo***x” and I didn’t shout it down, merely questioned the figure stated as it is contrary to verything we have been led to believe up to yet. I also did research (or try to) the official data.
It worries you that people can ‘question’ a statement “without supporting that view” but are you happy with the original statement being made without supporting evidence or links to those who are being quoted?
Also, bear on mind I am not a Covid denier
