Do you defend people who say COVID is a conspiracy and we should all open schools, go to work, go to parties? Some beliefs are not worth defending


I do, particularly when expressed politely, and then I disagree politely. If they can express their beliefs, and I can express mine, then we can try to communicate the truth. But any widespread belief that gets suppressed will fester and spread underground.

And again, I am not defending the belief itself, but the expression thereof.
