It's amazing how easily people can be convinced of something without doing a little bit of research before posting as fact. Saw this garbage going around on Twitter and it got debunked pretty fast.

Sylvia Browne was a well know fraud in the industry. The majority of her predictions were proven false. For easy reference just look at the paragraph about about her fake prediction about a flesh eating virus in 2010. You people are so easily fooled it saddens me.

That Sylvia Browne book was written in 2008, but that paragraph about a pneumonia outbreak is actually written by a different author in 1981. It was a work of science fiction, not a doomsday prophecy. Also, if you read more the disease explained there says 100% kill rate and well COVID19 is closer to 0.2%-3.4%.

I absolutely agree with context of most of what you said. I did not read the book, nor I care about Browne as an author.

BUT no matter where she got it and what is the full context of it THE FACT is that it was published in 2008. What was debunked? She did not put any "kill rate" only paragraph shown here. I checked because I have the book.

Its believed she may have stolen the work from Dean Koontz in a science fiction novel written in 1981. Either way it doesn't matter she has been proven as a fraud and made thousands of predictions. Even a broken clock is right twice a day, don't be fooled so easily.

Joe Rogan's discussions on COVID-19 are always thought-provoking))

Not sure why we're talking about this today.

Also, I prefer to get my medical advice from people trained in the field of medicine rather than someone who made his name hosting a show where people ate buffalo testicles.

With hindsight in your backpocket, anyone that can't see what a farce the 'pandemic' was is out to lunch.

lock thread and ban whoever bumped this. The Covid and political debates were a dark time for this forum.

Joe Rogan is a nutjob. I fear for those who take his words seriously.

Over 1.1 million Americans died from COVID-19 in a 1.5 year span yet people are still debating this nonsense?
