The COVID part I was replying to GGP's claim that the central bank doesn't print money.
Generally QE has started since 2008.

Yes, that's a possibility, not a definite. Why did you think that hasn't occurred to me? I'm not the one saying "I don't know why people keep saying this."
I specifically offered an explanation that involves the GGP possibly being wrong: "Does it occur to you that maybe people keep saying this because that's the truth?" Note the "maybe". It's not rhetoric. I meant what I wrote.
Of course there are other explanations but I'm pretty sure their view on what central banks are wrong or at least out of date. And I explained and gave pointers. I still wrote the "maybe".
Anyway, given your definite claim that people just repeat stuff because they just want other people to think the same, I guess discussion with you becomes meaningless at this point.
Finally I'll just note that quoting my counter example to explain what central banks do as evidence that I got my original claims wrong isn't really a argument either way.
