I am so tired of our media operating not as a truth-finder during a pandemic, but as a sales machine and protective shield for Big Pharma. They have consistently pushed Fear Porn to coerce for shots, while relentlessly masking EVERY angle rubbing against.

Check this out... 🧵

I'm doing my morning jog across the interwebz when I see this piece front-and-center. Considering the promotion and the fact it's coming from an outlet that has completely beclowned itself as nothing but a left-driven propaganda machine, it pulls me in...
yahoo.com/entertainment/…

It's abundantly clear what the goal of this piece is. It's not making any good faith effort to explore the issue or inform the reader. This could have been written by Pfizer... and in a roundabout way, I wouldn't be surprised if it literally was.

Let's look at some quotes...

"based on very limited evidence"

"There is no evidence its an adverse effect in large part because there is no evidence he has been vaccinated ... He did reveal last February that he had tested positive for Covid, and it is plausible that could have triggered his recent issues."

While I doubt COVID in February triggered face paralysis in June, sure, it is possible. If our reporters weren't all turned into servants for Big Pharma, perhaps they could already have unearthed whether he recently took a booster.

But let's go back to this "limited evidence"...

My, is that quite the change of tune from 72hrs ago when Twitter ran a "fact-check" saying that "scientists" had "concluded" there is no link between RHS and the shots. Using a bullshit "fact-check" as propaganda to get out ahead of an issue? 24/7/365 🚨

"Many accts have shared small studies indicating the vaccine has been linked to RHS. The most common a case study based on one 37yo man developing RHS after vaccination — hardly representative of a larger phenomenon."

Ok. But hardly "scientists have concluded no connection". 🚨

Another review looked at link between Covid-19 and shingles; it found it “could not establish [a] definite link” but suggested there may be a “possible association” between the vaccine and the virus, though it merited much larger-scale review."

"Concluded no connection", eh? 🤬

But wait, there's more...

The Rolling Stone piece links to The Illustrious Dr. Kat, "an epidemiologist who debunks anti-vaccine and health-related misinformation on TikTok" and links you to this short thread of hers...

One line of her thread really caught my eye...

"*Any* stress to the immune system can cause a reawakening of the virus and a case of shingles."

It felt like deja vu (emphasis and all), and that's because it was... 👇

Same exact line as Chise. 🧐

Just a coincidence I'm sure. Like possibly just a coincidence Bieber has facial paralysis and his wife a blood clot. Of course, it's also possible none of this was a coincidence, and considering we are having our lives conditioned on taking these shots, we deserve that story too.

"Current evidence is not sufficient to attribute a definitive link between the shingles and the vaccine ... Even if there is an association, it is a rare side effect and the benefits of vaccination outweigh the potential risks.”

Tunes change fast! 🚨

We of course get this gem...

"It’s very unlikely Bieber's Ramsay Hunt syndrome was triggered by a vaccine. Everyone has to stop speculating. They’re not his doctor. At the end of the day, Bieber’s case may be more of an argument for vaccines than against them."

Perfect landing!

And a plea for censorship...

"TikTok also became a petri dish for such conspiracy-mongering content. Many of these videos are under the #ramsayhuntsyndrome hashtag on TikTok, which currently has 34 million views, though getting comparatively few views and not the top results."

"People need to feel like they’re in control in this out-of-control situation,” Wallace says of recent onslaught of vaccine-related misinformation. “The science is difficult and cumbersome. So people keep coming up w/ newer and more bizarre theories.”

Or maybe we've grown wise.

👇 Sales ........ Shield 👇

Consistently across every mainstream media outlet since day one of the pandemic. 🤬

Which actually isn't surprising at all... 🚨
