Current Affairs Coronavirus Thread - Serious stuff !!!

Baby Shark is the most watched music video in history.

Since when has number of views been a worthwhile metric of validity or value ?
Baby Shark isn't about the most important topic of our lifetimes.

This podcast is. We can disagree with stuff on there, we can cringe at the awful adverts that break up the flow, we can even dismiss Malone as a crank if that's how we see it...but we must accept this angle that Malone & Rogan are discussing is huge, and becoming ever more influential as we see the vaccine's effectiveness wane.

Banning it will only result in more Streisand Effect. People are beginning to wonder why alternative voices are getting banned so readily. People are also beginning to wonder why even mildly-alternative opinions get so aggressively dismissed by the pro-vaccine crowd.

Even @BlueToff - who expresses willingness to take the booster (already being double-jabbed) - is labelled an 'anti-vaxxer' by some of you on here.


The debate is shifting.
 
Here is Malone's full 3-hour discussion with Joe Rogan:





The Youtube link will get removed at some point, so here's the Spotify.

The one with McCullough got 40m views...this one will likely approach 100m...these are serious numbers. Far more than mainstream media channels/sites. The people have had enough.

This thread here is an almost-absolute echo chamber, divorced from the reality of what most people are actually thinking.

Oh dear. Bang goes your last crumb of credibility.
 
Sounds like a threat that.
jesus wept no!

it means having a think about why someone would want to ban the airing of what will likely be the most listened-to podcast in history, about the most important topic of our lifetimes. The old look in the mirror and have a think about what you're saying.

Why ban it when so many people are hungry for this alternative information? Why make that access difficult?
 
here is a fact check of the garbage in that video that resulted in him being banned by Twitter.


Mainstream fact-checkers have lost all credibility during the pandemic. Even then your 'fact-check' merely concludes "missing context...Much is still unknown about the omicron variant"

For that Malone deserves a ban? As do I?


Here's the current quality of mainstream pro-vaccine fact-checkers...attempting to defend Tedroh's clumsy freudian slip:

You didn’t really answer the question. Number of views or popularity has never and will never be proof of somethings value or accuracy. Your suggestion was that the video should be paid attention to simply because of the number of YouTube views it will get, which is mental.

How many of the views that video receives are people being linked to it, laughing and then closing it ? Like 99% of the views from you posting it here.
 
It means you're an alt-right loony who needs flushing before you infect anyone else.
There it is...only a matter of time.

Wait till people find out that Rogan, Russell Brand and Toby Young also make money from the content they provide, so have a financial incentive as well. Minds will explode.
Of course they earn money. Young is a working journalist, so he's linking & reporting on several items a day (I linked quite a few of them before...none of them particularly alt-right, weirdly enough).

Brand & Rogan spend their time discussing things in great detail...they don't ask their listeners for money, but they use their platforms' ad-revenue tools to earn their keep.

Not sure what the issue is here. You know how much Pfizer shareholders have earned since the start of the vaccine push?
