Debunking some fake news.

I've seen so many pieces of fake news in my newsfeed recently and I want to debunk them now.

-No, covid tests aren't going to give you cancer
-Covid tests aren't trying to collect your DNA
-Covid tests aren't piercing your brain membrane.

Some of the most ridiculous nonsense comes out of some of the most extremist conspiratorial people on my newsfeed. This nonsense helps aid statism, not fight against it. It pushes away the rational people we need in our camp to win liberty-for-all in our lifetime. I think irrational conspiratorial libertarians are one of the biggest assets of the state.

The facts: Over 7 months a study found that only 8 complications occurred out of MILLIONS of covid tests, which is considered "statistically insignificant" and an outlier. All 8 problems occurred because the tester failed to follow protocol. Furthermore all complications occurred on the old tests that had to be inserted much deeper than today's covid tests.

You should have nothing to fear from getting a simple covid test as of 2021. Anyone who says otherwise is fearmongering and not being rational, and pushing rational people away from freedom.
