Who denies covid exists? Cant see anyone in that group.

Who denies the claimed severity of covid19 being equivalent to the spanish flu? Hopefully everyone stands up... because that's completely deniable now. However, that's the claim that justified the unprecedented actions of locking down civilization. As opposed to the established standard of locking down just the sick.

Who has lost faith and trust in the medical professionals turn politician because of the endless lies as proven?

How about the misrepresentation of health measures taken throughout the process? How about the endless human rights violations.

How many people lost their job because they were pregnant and couldn't get vaccinated? The list of medicines allowed during pregnancy is VERY low. A pamphlet would be too big. Business card would suffice. Oh but you want to say the vaccine is safe for preggos? LOL. No... you just wanted to fire all those pregnant nurses. But wait... werent nurses in huge demand before covid... now you fired a bunch? Now you have such a shortage that you are obligating nurses to work insane hours?

There are certainly people who think that Covid is a hoax. There aren't many, but they do exist.

That report doesn't give any evidence of COVID denial. It's just graphs of how often COVID relate content is reported/flagged.

If you look at the paper the article cites as evidence COVID denial exists, it's actually also not true. They ask people variants of "do you think the danger of COVID was exaggerated" and when people say yes, they get classed as people who think COVID is a hoax. So the claim that people think COVID is a hoax, is a hoax. This is what "science" has become.

Sure, but there's no point writing an article about such a non-existent position. Unless the point is to strawman. Which we have seen far too much of lately.

Not only does the position exist, but it's a good example of a false belief. Identifying and excluding such beliefs from public debate is very important.

Ukraine doesn't exist. This is all fake news by western countries to smear Russia.

Would you like to debate me on whether or not Ukraine exists?

No, that's not a real position to debate. Instead what the article is doing is no different than all the 'science deniers' stuff. How dare you deny the dogma of science!
