Here we go again 🙄

And before this, hydroxychloroquine was the magic cure. Correlation does not equal causation.

Heck, it could be as simple as people didn't want to go near or stand near smokers because it's a disgusting habit that smells terrible, and other people don't want to breathe in all that poison.

We can posit as many hypothesis as we want that have zero to do with preventative benefits of inhaling mass doses of toxins.

I completely agree that Smoking is a terrible habit and people shouldn't start smoking, but scientists are currently testing the effects of Nicotine on the reduction of Cytokine release or if Smoking inhibiting covid from ACE2 receptors.

Smokers should be getting Covid/dying at a higher rate than non smokers, if on'y because they aren't wearing a mask and are usually hanging out with other smokers when they are smoking and their lungs are damaged. Yet, nobody has published that data.

An inverse relationship between smoking and COVID-19

Researchers at the University of Washington and Stanford University School of Medicine have reported a significant inverse relationship between current smoking and coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) mortality rates across forty countries.

Seems like it would be an easy slam dunk for the anti smoking people, but the data isn't there.

If I smoked, looking at the current evidence, I wouldn't quit because of Covid.

Now then, I left the "pivot" post because I need to say this: So far this thread as been about hardships and losing people to this ****ing sh*t show of a disease we've ALL had to deal with for the last year. To come in here and just start laying down crap like this I consider disrespectful at best. Especially at this point with *waves hands around* ****ing everything.

Save your cockamamie speculation about "Smoking might help! I saw a study! Fauci won't tell you this! It's not the Covid itself! Singapore! CHINA!" for somewhere else.
