I remember reading about people who study diseases talking about a bug from World of Warcraft that spread like a disease one time and thought it was a good model for predicting how a global pandemic might play out.

However one issue was that in the game there were a few players who purposely tried to spread it. Skeptics said that because of that and how unrealistic it was the WoW incident couldn't be taken seriously.

Then about 6 years later COVID happened and one of the things people did was have illegal COVID parties with the intention of spreading the disease just because.

I've just realised this. I've never thought about these two things together and never seen it mentioned online.

I just find it really amusing.

Let me tell you about bugchasers (a classic homosexual passtime) and POZ parties.

They couldn't even conceive that people did chickenpox parties when their parents chose to vaxmaxx them as kids too.

But no they are the "experts" and WE are the incel basement dwellers. Sure thing buddy LOL

you will never meet a worse collection of faggots then academic "skeptics".

these days where reputation and funding is everything, the scientific orthodoxy of the last 4 decades has strangled innovation and discovery to such an extend, that fucking apple is seen as the peak of innovation.

nostr:npub1qq7hl5sl6z0l0ahk8f6a4uv5mkvlama7dyvucdmtwdva2zg24xnqyafedr wait wait wait, skeptics thought it would be unrealistic for people to purposefuly trying to spread a deadly disease?

So, I assume they haven't heard about the AIDS explosion in the 80's/90's, in which it spread way more than anything else because infected people purposefuly spread it.
