The media needs a science lesson

Yet another MSM article with half-truths, lies, misconceptions... essentially propaganda

So this recent yahoo article caught my eye:

That quote sounded a lot like a very good Brownstone Institute article referring to university vaccine mandates. Keep that link handy, I’ll refer back to it.

So I start reading this yahoo article, thinking it might mention something like the science cited in the aforementioned Brownstone article, or something about the struggles in the healthcare industry after countless people lost their jobs because they refused the vaccine mandate. Some of that is kinda, sorta in there. But there is also a lot wrong in this reporting.

Let’s start with the sentence in the second paragraph: “Only the healthy are allowed in to care for virus-free residents.”. The text then goes on to describe how employees are required to do an antigen test DAILY to work. There’s problem #1. “Antigen test negative” does NOT equal “Healthy”. People can be unhealthy for a variety of reasons, for example, carrying bacteria or viruses that don’t show up on a COVID antigen test. But also, people can be perfectly healthy and non-infectious but test positive for an antigen test. The fact that healthcare facilities are still doing this testing is preposterous.

Then the article goes on to talk about how important vaccines are for preventing outbreaks. Sorry, that’s complete BS. Read the cited articles in the Brownstone article, where many scientific studies show that vaccination does not prevent transmission, nor does it prevent infection. Outbreaks are started by healthy people that test negative. How in the hell is the media still getting away with reporting these lies, when even yahoo will occasionally report on circumstances of “outbreaks” caused by a bunch of test-negative, healthy, fully vaccinated people?!?!?!?

Let’s not forget the recent study by the illustrious Cleveland Clinic showing that the incidence of COVID-19 infection actually increases with the number of jabs.

But the thing that really makes me mad is the demonization of people who had religious exemptions from the vaccine. The Warrenton Declaration goes into a lot of detail why vaccine mandates (as well as other COVID restrictions) are a violation of sincerely held religious beliefs. Free exercise of religious beliefs are protected by the Bill of Rights. I suppose that doesn’t prevent the media from demonizing them (which is an important point relevant for Christians and other believers, but that’s another point for another day). But blaming religious people for outbreaks is not okay, both morally and scientifically.

So if you are wondering why people are still living in fear of this virus, this is why. The media pushing a bunch of lies… well, better said, withholding the truth from the public. When doctors and scientists like Ladapo, Prasad, Kheriaty, Kuldorff, etc etc speak actual truth based on actual science, they get censored and demonized. The truth is out there and the media is hiding it from you, masquerading lies as science. Stop falling for it.
