We try really hard not to post opinion and politically biased content on this blog, but there is a limit to the level of stupidity that even we can tolerate. If the ignorance only harms the person mouthing it, that is fine. They are entitled. That is their right. It might even keep them away from wasting resources. It "thins the gene pool."
The big claim of the ignorant now is all this COVID hysteria is a result of media hype. So if that might be true (and it isn't), what is their recommendation? Forget the social distancing, forget the masks, forget the extra caution? What is the value of such an absurd claim?
No careful observer will deny the media have really latched onto COVID reporting. It is as if they have nothing else to talk about. But the facts don't lie (unlike certain politicians). They are available for anyone who wishes to monitor for himself what is happening. They can then share their analysis like an expert rather than a fool who sources his info solely from other idiots on social media.
Related to this claim COVID is primarily media exaggeration, here is an old COVID conspiracy theory that seems to be making the rounds again. Conspiracy theories unfortunately never die, unlike the people who choose to believe them.
CLAIM: Hospitals are inflating the number of COVID-19 cases and deaths so they can be paid more.
RESPONSE:: Recent legislation pays hospitals higher Medicare rates
for COVID-19 patients and treatment, but there is no evidence of
fraudulent reporting.

Most of us just choose to rely on credible sources and ignore others that have a history of misstatements and related ignorance, except when the misinformed put us, our family, and friends at serious risk.
