listen up blue checks: the guy who boosted ivermectin as a potential miracle cure based on the word of an antivaxxer fraud has a condescending lecture about media ethics
well now, let's be careful about our facts and #media #ethics. it was actually a pie filled with horse semen
the target was Michael Wines, then the NYT Moscow bureau chief exiledonline.com/feature-new-yo…
at any rate yes, this is true. these guys are flipping out over a minor local news botch that got aggregated, then corrected, to disguise what they are really doing: pandering to conservative antivaxxers for money

just watching this happen in real time theweek.com/politics/10046…

this argument has a pretty gigantic hole in it
forcing someone to get vaccinated could quite literally *save their life or that of their friends and family.* it is just dishonest to class this with redlining or whatever
dishonest and also clumsily mistaken on the facts! that's the Evopsych Promise

look at this hack fraud lol
oh for sure man. "Whether vaccine mandates are ok depends on if illness is easily transmitted" is a principle that hinges entirely on what level of government is implementing the mandate

substack contrarians pretending that pandemic controls are somehow a violation of civil rights is a new low even for them
even the most dog-brained glibertarians generally admit that the state can coerce people to prevent them from harming others. but that's too much from our freshly-minted McMegans
weeks ago these guys were pretending that an anti-vaccine crank was a legit expert being censored by a devious Big Tech/Big Pharma conspiracy theweek.com/politics/10046…

not sure why they would call this a "progressive" party though, seems more like a classic SDP set of positions
at any rate the coalition of Canada-style Liberals, Blue Dog ""Labor,"" and socdems pulling in 52 percent is depressingly plausible
