Its also not too far fetched for him to catch covid. I've caught it twice in the last 12 months despite boosters and meeting much less people and being responsible. For me, it was a sniffle, for him probably a good deal worse and he might have realise his physical fitness is worse than he thought, especially after the debate and the reaction to it. Nothing like some illness to show us were not infallible, even when potus.

I agree. My point is that humans greatly overestimate that which favors themselves. We don't know the truth. We may never. And, the masses are severely underestimating the probability that it's one big lie.
It's not that I don't care about you personally. But, your personal anecdote is far from the data required to back your claim. I'm not asking you to dig up data. I already know the media isn't reporting the epidemic anymore. It just doesn't make much sense to support your statement in that way.
I think the better question is: Why does it MATTER if it was a lie or not? Who exactly got harmed if Biden needed an excuse to back out to save his own ego? Whether Biden actually had Covid or not changes almost nothing
It matters to them and others like them because if Biden and the Democratic party were lying about Biden having Covid it's a really lame soundbite Maga turds can use to rationalize all of the hypocritical lies and nonsense Rebublicans spout whenever they open their mouths.
Even though deep down they know, they can't admit it to themselves because their entire personality hinges on being Maga (as you see with all of the tacky shit they wear and buy to make their homes a joke) and if they accept the reality that Trump and his cultists are pieces of shit it means they are pieces of shit, and that's an even harder pill to swallow than the fact Trump attempted a coup.
"Trump lied about being involved with Project 2025? Oh yeah? Well Biden lied about being sick!!!"
Because being involved with destroying democracy and making it possible for a lot of people to die by Isreali-style genocide is the same as lying about having a cold, even if Biden was lying.
What's next? Taking multiple weeks of time off from performing Presidential duties running America multiple times to go play golf?
Oh, that was Trump.
Our government lies to us regularly. But, the people won't even accept the possibility of a small one such as this. They've got to walk before they can run.
And those of you focussing on whether or not covid was an excuse/lie are on the extreme other end of the isle when the details of whether or not he lied about Covid make absolutely ZERO difference on the current situation. People in power lie, holy shit, life shattering revelation there!
So, the tactics you decided to go with were repetition and minimization? At least do this stupid thing well. Learn your logical fallacies and make more purposeful use of them.
Lmao username checks out I guess
This is projection.
My personal anecdote was not proof. It was letting you know that its common without data.
I dont thinknit was a lie. If it was, it was a pretty pointless one.
Youre clutching at straws and when you are askibgbfor evidence, but not asking, while spouting conspiracy theories, you don't make a good argument for anything.
I appreciate that you responded eight days later.
Federation issues it seems. I am getting your response now, another 7 days later.
A week delay makes meaningful participation impossible. As I'm on .world, my best guess is that a solution is best initiated by your instance's moderators. If you've not already then you should find the means to report.
The problem is world, I understand. Its too full. So its slow to federate with all others.
Thanks, but I prefer the concept of distribution, so happy to converse with all the other instances rather than just world.
