The pseudoscience, it burns!

It would be really nice if all the people fearmongering about this shit would go take a science class, and maybe they'd realize that they're trying to incite panic over the equivalent of your apple juice having "deadly" methanol in it. Given that every single apocalyptic, pants-shitting claim of terror since this thing began has been proven false, and that it's now basically over, you'd think they'd have learned at least a little something.
