    Except no viruses have ever been isolated let alone shown to be contagious. Why do you despise the scientific method and known disease postulates ?

    Derp. See TMV studies. Poster refers to tests for Covid being positive in post 39381 but later claim virus is non-existent. Derp. Be better.

    You didn’t watch
    you didn’t watch a minute of the video. Instead you just Mooed and googled Sam Bailey and found something from some blogger (ad hom is annoying, isn’t it ?) ...

    August 1, 2022:
    Jim Mercer acts as Chief Operating Officer at University of Waikato in New Zealand. The university published a blog in April 2021 entitled "Sam Bailey on isolating viruses, and why she is wrong". The blog is still posted on the university's website. Jim confessed to Michael S. that there are no records containing scientific proof of the existence of the alleged SARS-COV-2 at U of Waikato.
    https://www.fluoridefreepeel.ca/wp-...-no-SARS-COV-2-Existance-PACKAGE-redacted.pdf
    This was Jim's 2nd confession to Michael. His first confession is here:
    https://www.fluoridefreepeel.ca/wp-...Waikato-2021-10-13-SARS-COV-2-v3-redacted.pdf

    "germ" FOIs - W.H.O., Australia's DOHAC, Somerset UK, NZ ESR, Waikato, Otago no records!

    Quack on YouTube again. Derp. OK then "sam bailey on isolating viruses, and why she is wrong : BioBlog
    Derp. I looked to see if there was a scholarly paper with any real consideration towards science. Got 3 min into it and found that was not going to happen, so I'll stick with 50 years of researched proven science instead.

    Brrr, nine degrees in Charlotte today, wind chill likely below zero. Wherever you are, be sure to wear a coat to help the person walking past you stay warm.

    How Twitter Rigged the Covid Debate
    I had always thought a primary job of the press was to be skeptical of power—especially the power of the government. But during the Covid-19 pandemic, I and so many others found that the legacy media had shown itself to largely operate as a messaging platform for our public health institutions. Those institutions operated in near total lockstep, in part by purging internal dissidents and discrediting outside experts.
    Twitter became an essential alternative. It was a place where those with public health expertise and perspectives at odds with official policy could air their views—and where curious citizens could find such information. This often included other countries’ responses to Covid that differed dramatically from our own.
    But it quickly became clear that Twitter also seemed to promote content that reinforced the establishment narrative, and to suppress views and even scientific evidence that ran to the contrary.
    Was I imagining things? Was the pattern I and others witnessed proof of purposeful intent? An algorithm gone rogue? Or something else? In other words: When it came to Covid, and the information shared on a service used by hundreds of millions of people, what exactly was being amplified? And what was being banned or censored?
    So when The Free Press asked if I would go to Twitter to peek behind the curtain, I took the first flight out of New York.

    Here’s what I found.

    Interesting article, and again shows the difficulty in content moderation. Clearly they got some things wrong. However I don’t see this as some sort of scandal.

    That is because you were for covid lockdowns, mask requirements, vaccine requirements, school closures and such. Most people don't have the ability to admit they were wrong for basically 2 years.

    Meh. Way too many morons running around espousing extremely dangerous opinions like “viruses aren’t real” and other morons believing them. It was necessary IMO. Did they get a few things wrong? Sure. But that’s just Monday morning QB’ing at its finest. Hindsight is 20/20.
