But that's exactly the point I've been trying to make this entire thread... 'experts' won't necessarily give you the WHOLE truth, especially if that truth is unpalatable, ie, it highlights dangers or financial incentives.

@Jumpingthruhoops I have explained multiple times that there is robust, replicated research from multiple independent sources that demonstrates it was safer to be vaccinated than remain unvaccinated.

What you are suggesting is a conspiracy whereby tens of thousands of experts have been persauded to particpate in such a conspiracy. It's ridiculous.

I thought you would appreciate that is not literally just ten people (i.e. the ten electricians I used as an example)

I have also explained that it is not possible for a single person to do the same kind of evidence synthesise that is required when it comes to recommendation of health interventions - it requires a team of people, with relevant qualificaitons and expertise, working full time for weeks and months. I suggested that you read the summary documents, and you are welcome to follow any statements back to the original source if you have concerns.

I also pointed out that you can try following the claims people make back to the actual source. As is always the case - and I've done it dozens of times for fake claims about SARS-COV-2 vaccines - what is said does not reflect the actual document that they are claiming it is from.

All of this was ignored though, of course!

People don’t follow things to source because they don’t have the education and/or intelligence required to properly evaluate the sources.

That’s why the slow erosion of confidence in experts / science by grifters like Brand is so awful. They pedal bullshit to an enraptured audience, breaking down belief in the people who actually have their best interests - and not just their wallets - at heart.

Look at the damage done to little kids because their idiotic parents don’t vaccinate. It’s heartbreaking.

I love that theme tune for us!

It’s all coming together nicely - although we need a new plan after @bombastix little snafu earlier.

Are we thinking lizard people or illuminati this week?

Blueink · 27/09/2023 20:51

I’m thinking it wasn’t really Russel(l) just a lizard that took over his body for a while somewhere between 2003… and then big pharma created a diversion with 5G masts and he arrived back in his body, had 3 kids and took up yoga…

just for starters…

I feel like we need our own cause, though. Undermining science and healthcare and the government and the boring media with the professional code of conduct and legal checks is so last week - so Snapchat and Twitter.

For the new dawn of X, Rumble, Telegram we need a new baddy.

what about Big Education? We can reveal the truth about all those wokerati teachers. Did you know they are teaching Arabic maths in school now? And French as a foreign language because it’s stage 1 of the migrant boat invasion plan.

Course you didn’t - they don’t let that info out. You have to dig for it because they don’t want you to know…

Bison are a conspiracy.

They’re actually cows in Afghan coats.

as per the ban by Ofcom and others (at least in this country!)

What does this even mean?! @Jumpingthruhoops

My research is never featured on the news, sometimes I struggle to get it published anywhere. It doesn't mean it's being suppressed and scientists have multiple avenues for result dissemination.

If you were claiming that anything negative about vaccines wasn't used in the most recent risk/benefit assessment to recommend to various groups you'd have a point, but that isn't the case.

Apologies... I assumed anyone commenting had read the full thread.

Basically, at the start of the pandemic, Ofcom issued a directive prohibiting the MSM from commenting/running any coverage criticising the govt's pandemic response and/or that challenged the 'preferred narrative' around (but not limited to) govt policy, lockdown, masks, mandates, jabs, the science and such like.

In layman's terms, the media were literally NOT allowed to present even official statistics if these findings were unpalatable. So people turned to the internet - and people like RB - hoping for answers.

I'll leave it there now as I don't fancy being called a conspiracy theorist again! But you get the gist.

10 electricians come to your house and say to varying degrees that it needs rewiring or else it would blow up.
Nine of them are singing the praises of these pioneering new materials they're using - not revealing that these materials are only being promoted because of cash incentives attached to them and the

this isn't what is happening though. the 10th person in this scenario is not an electrician at all. they are a TV presenter/actor who knows nothing about electrics, wiring or novel materials. he just enjoys the sound of his own voice and manipulating people into giving him money, instead of listening to the experts

Typically, you've taken what I've said too literally. You get exactly what I'm referring to. Don't pretend you don't.

There was plenty of media coverage critising the government response at the start of the directive. Who told you Ofgem issued a directive? Even if there was a directive at the start of the pandemic that wouldn't effect coverage of vaccines anyway as they obviously were not available then.

Jumpingthruhoops · 28/09/2023 00:38

WomblingTree86 · 27/09/2023 16:47

Why do you think RB has the ability to "dig" and evaluate evidence. Watch the video I posted...

If it's all the same, I won't. I'm sick of explaining myself over and over to people who just want to take this piss!

I looked at official statistics during the pandemic and they were certainly being presented by some of the the media. There was plenty of criticism of the government response too. I'm pretty sure that ofgem don't "issue directives" telling the media what to report.

I have ZERO interest in engaging with you.

Ofcom issued this directive in March 2020. It seems to mainly be reminding broadcasters (the proper ones, not the grifting box) to abide by the rules and be careful of not spreading misinformation about Covid.

It in no way prohibits discourse or ‘negative’ coverage of the Covid plans.

What a reasonable and sensible thing to do.

learn what? That me and my minions, henceforth known as Freeballs (tm) won the argument with logic and science? And had some lolz along the way?
