I also disagree that someone's perfectly valid stance, such as yours (and many others), on possibly alternative ways to successfully treat this virus, and the influence in that respect of big pharma, is 'risible'.
For me, that choice of language is both disrespectful and derogatory. By all means, disagree and therefore challenge that statement or observation, as robustly (but politely) as necessary, but don't LAUGH at it, as that's only liable to get someone's back up, who's simply committed the heinous crime of thinking differently!
Anything that seeks to stifle free thinking/the right to be an individual, and make you comply with 'the norm'/behaviour of the masses, is more dangerous than anything else, and a sure route towards fascism!

Hi Marco,
You need to be careful with statements like that, some idiots will always try to take advantage of a general "right" to do as they please (often in the name of religion).
I have sympathy with what you are thinking, but there need to be caveats or some people will take advantage, for example "the children of god" :
Its founder, David Berg, told members that God was love and love was sex, so there should be no limits, regardless of age or relationship. Berg's cult spread and claimed to have 10,000 full-time members in 130 communities around the world by the 1970s.
