🧵 A bit of a dive into @goodfoodgal & why she is likely a merchant for misinformation... 1/

Before we go any further into the actual substance of her tweets, it's important to have a bit of an understanding about how Mel works.... 2/

Mel posts 100% of the time on her iphone. In a sample size of 3200 tweets, She normally outputs 20.62 tweets per day.. 3/

Alarmingly she garners replies 29% of the time and her tweets are reweeted 63% of the time & her tweets are liked 80% of the time! 4/

With that in mind, lets dive into her "inner circle" and see who she often interacts with... Polibard, Elly melly, RitaPanahi, Prison planet, Zuby Music, Libsoftiktok, James Melville, TheMilkbar tv... 5/

Why is this of concern? Because everyone of these tweeters have at some point been proven to of shared disinformation.... 6/

Further to that, each of these tweeters often regurgitate the same political content, which is not really surprising given that social media is often regarded as echo chambers.. 7/

More key elements for which help infer her penchant for misinformation is that Mel posts 100% of her tweets from iphone and 99% of content she shares comes from inside twitters domain. Meaning that any material she sources IS NOT original. 8/

Analysing a snapshot of 3 months & approx 3200 tweets. Mel's most common hashtags utilised are #unvaccinated , #neverforget & #vaccineinjuries.
Some of her favourite words are covid & vaccine 9/

So how often is she actually posting about covid & vaccines? Somewhere just over 21% of the time. Scarily though. She has no clue.... 10/

The first sign that credibility may be an issue is the way she writes "COViD". It may seem benign but using a solecism is a deliberate attempt to give the impression she can speak on the subject with authority. 11/

Further to this, Mel constantly berates those for using the "MSM" as a reputable source only to often resort to them herself. Citing screenshots or retweeting people referencing mainstream outlets 24 times in a month. 12/

So what does she think of the covid vaccine? Well on 28/11/22 Melinda replied 9 times "The COViD jab is not a vaccine".

Note to previous tweet - twitter only allows 4 screenshots at a time... but I feel you get the picture.. 10/

Establishing little faith in the vaccines, then makes it easy to understand her position. In one month. Melinda shared 17 unverifiable medical or scientific claims about the pandemic. 11/

Mel has claimed 4 times in the past month that she knows people who are angry about being "jabbed" /12

Mel has also attempted to conflate Influenza with Covid19.. several times.. 13/

The school yard rebel unleashes her full attempt of idiocy at the same time at trying to be funny earlier today.. 14/

Then there was this gem... while.. scientists actually started to measure the pros / cons ... (source nature) 15/

Ultimately I could on and on with screenshots about dubious content. The crux of the thread is however, an individual whom has no professional expertise or experience in public health, who shares almost exclusively her own content, retweeting her own posts 12% of the time 16/

who has a political & ideological interest in sharing negative material about the pandemic. Who receives more engagement on negative posts. Is going to continue to pontificate until she is drowned out by others calling her to account. - end.
