The pandemic had been predicted long before its appearance,

Was it?

It always helps a faulty argument to build it upon a faulty premise.

I agree. And that is a question to be put to my neighbor.

This article asserts that “The pandemic had been predicted long before its appearance.” Please tell me how long ago, and where, and if it was this virus in particular. Thank you.

Was it? It always helps a faulty argument to build it upon a faulty premise.

The fact is, long ago, a pandemic had been predicted.

Yes, somewhere, sometime, someone once predicted, "Yuh know, I bet that someday in the future, there will be a pandemic. Oh, Barman! Another round!"

Yet another pandemic.

About as helpful as saying, "We might not have enough ventilators, but you probably will be safe, as long as you..."

Belongs in the category of "weasel words."
