I think @GrandOldTeam needs to have a serious think about allowing this forum become a hotbed for misinformation.

If I agreed with you, we’d both be wrong.
I thought it was yesterday you were going?the mob is shouting again, but i'm off anyway.
With a bit of luck, Omicron will become a relatively normal endemic cold virus and end the pandemic. If enough people speak up above the madness of crowds, we can then all get back to normal.

What is misinformation? you have to be very careful what you class as misinformation.. some of it could turn out to be very true.. currently what would be described as misinformation is anything that goes beyond the generally accepted view. History is littered with people who have gone against the accepted view only to turn out to be correct later.. immediately shutting down debate and labeling it misinformation is not the correct way to go about things.

Indeed.
It would be best to close this sub forum before trying to become self appointed arbiters of truth.

posting tweets from Jack Posobiec is posting misinformation - I mean, that (creating misinformation) is literally Posobiec's job
5 microns? 100 microns? An excellent, long, down-into-the-weeds read on the detective work which ultimately led the WHO / CDC to eventually alter their guidelines on masks and ventilation. A trick was certainly missed to begin with in this regard

The 60-Year-Old Scientific Screwup That Helped Covid Kill
All pandemic long, scientists brawled over how the virus spreads. Droplets! No, aerosols! At the heart of the fight was a teensy error with huge consequences.
Never heard of him. I can see he has 1.5m followers.
Maybe more people should cry to Twitter to deplatform him - then his tweets wouldn't end up elsewhere.

So simple and elegant...
See, mate.
I'll happily go against the grain to defend someone's right to their opinion but this post wound me up.
You was indeed, threatened with a thread ban.
You acknowledged and accepted reasoning for that at the time, and assured that you'd not mention ivermectic again;
To then follow it up in that manner is pretty poor. I don't like how you've publicly solicited a ban and I also don't like how you've accused @RAFUH of sharing misinformation.
- false or inaccurate information, especially that which is deliberately intended to deceive.
I''ll revoke your posting rights in this forum so don't worry about coming back in February. You have a tendency to monopolise discussion anyway.
I hope you enjoy the rest of the forum outside Current Affairs.

He isn't just a twitter account, he has had multiple jobs across the zoo of alt-right "news" sites where he spreads his lies (and has been doing it for at least the past six years). A lot of people believe him too, hence the rabbit holes that people have gone down in US politics especially (Pizzagate was one of his).
This is of course the craziest thing about @dholliday's belief that loads of people are being brainwashed by the media - that he, pro-Trump and anti-vax believer that he is - doesn't recognize that he is talking about himself.
