„The simple fact was that Tegnell, Giesecke, and the FHM could not provide a shred of scientific evidence to justify the path they were taking, which ignored and rejected the precautionary principle.“

Dangerous #covid19 disinformation in Canada & elsewhere. A thread. #cdnpoli #CovidCanada
Let’s begin with AIER, The American Institute For Economic Research. #AIER is a libertarian “think tank”, largely funded by the Koch Network. AIER is behind such large scale propaganda offensives as “The Great Barrington Declaration”. A thoroughly debunked piece of disinformation
AIER disinformation has been so successful & pervasive that even formerly respected authors peddle their nonsense.
Incidentally, Naomi Wolfe happens to be a “Visiting Senior Fellow” at #AIER. #cdnpoli #COVID19 #COVIDdisinformation

Ontario, be aware of AstroTurf organizations pretending to be grassroots “non profits” that are, in fact, well funded groups seeking to dismantle public healthcare. “Concerned Ontario Doctors” launders disinformation through its organization, posing as patient advocacy. #ONhealth ImageImage
Any comments on their FB page calling them out or asking difficult questions, will be very quickly deleted.
In addition, flawed anti-lockdown propaganda is presented as “science”. For example “The Great Barrington Declaration”, debunked here: queensu.ca/gazette/storie… #ONpoli #OMA ImageImage
To this day, “The Great Barrington Declaration” petition remains the pinned post on the “Concerned Ontario Doctors” (COD) FB page. Who’s behind this petition? Far right libertarian “think tank” the American Institute for Economic Research. #ONhealth #ONpoli #cdnpoli Image
