Best you can do is follow any sources they cite, validate those and quote the cite. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moonbox Posted December 19, 2022 Report Share Posted December 19, 2022 I would normally, but I've gone down Russel's rabbit-hole logic too many times over the last couple of years to expect anything but nonsense from him. He's a hot-take BS artist now, and he's been caught promoting too much aggressively stupid misinformation to be worth even clicking the link anymore.

Russel Brand didn't just make up a storyline about vax efficacy backpeddling, he cited all of the headlines from the CDC and their lackeys. Your only point is that you prefer to keep your head up your ass and peek at CNN's headlines. Do you still believe in Santa Claus as well?

You may as well show us Tucker Carlson or Alex Jones if you're going to put this clown forward. In this particular video he referenced a lot of actual news headlines that indicated that the reported efficacy of Covid vaccines has been dropping steadily over time. He often has very reputable guests on his show and they actually get to speak without interruption. There can't be too many cable news programs that go into this amount of detail as they put their commercial interests ahead of everything else. I didn't have a high opinion of Russell Brand before until I happened to watch his channel a couple of times. Yes, he infuses a lot of humor into whatever topic he happens to be covering but he does come across as a pretty intelligent guy. I do find that there are better sources out there than the usual suspects on cable news. Who would you suggest I listen to for information? Anderson Cooper? Joy Reid? One network in particular?

I haven't heard anything to suggest the vast VAST majority of experts are concerned. They appear to maintaining their position that vaccinated people who get sick are 4 - 5 times less likely to die than un-vaccinated people who get sick. The only place I hear otherwise is in this forum. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Russell Brand isn't good for anything other than entertainment. In the Russell Brand video I posted were links to articles about the efficacy of those vaccines and the promises made by execs that they would not make much money of them either. I have nothing against profits but why did they make that promise in the first place? Pfizer’s CEO rapped by regulator for making ‘misleading’ statements about children’s vaccines (telegraph.co.uk) Behind every great fortune... - by Alex Berenson (substack.com) Pfizer forecasts $100B in sales, fueled by COVID-19 vaccine, pill | BioPharma Dive Drug Industry’s Chief Lobbying Group’s Revenue Surpassed $609 Million in 2021 - Truthout Brand does come across as a pretty intelligent guy as far as I'm concerned. I can't think of many other big name celebrities that can converse like that on so many different subjects. He's got quite a deep vocabulary, at least compared to most other celebrities that depend largely on script writers for their livelihood. Do you believe he's deliberately lying and/or making things up to his viewers? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only place I hear otherwise is in this forum. The answer to that question might be something we actually can agree on. The major news networks often cover stories in totally different fashions, as in the way that helps push their own narrative. It's also common that certain stories will either not get mentioned or perhaps dismissed altogether. Those major networks, including FOX, cater to their own audience for the most part(although I personally feel FOX is better than their competitors). You did mention the death rate being much higher for unvaccinated people but that seems very disputable given the stats cited in the first post of this thread. The media did exaggerate the death rate in a way by not clearly pointing out that the majority of those deaths were with people that had compromised immune systems, and were mainly elderly. CNN had a death counter running up until the time that Trump left office. The reason for that was purely political and in no way for the benefit of the population. I don't think anyone should be putting absolute trust in any major news network. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not if you factor in the case rate fallacy. There's no dispute whatsoever when you do that.

No it's far worse than that, you people think anyone who isn't as hostile towards the media as you are is in on the plot to control the world and murder you. You're all freaking nuts.
