Exactly, follow the money. The quacks have a ready market for their comforting but dangerous lies. One fad diet pusher who's migrated to this space, Ivor Cummins, aka FatEmperor has massively boosted his income. YouTube and Patraeon. Just from the Patraeon subscribers (€3 - €250 per month) with the 1320 subscribers, that's at least €3960 per month for spouting innumerate rubbish about "the casedemic" if everyone is at the lowest level; he was up to about 3000 subscribers earlier. He also has a kickstarter "to make a film" At least one follower has died from Covid after following his advice and rejecting all precautions. That's just a small fry but one who's manged to go from a very minor fad diet business to being able to set up a property owing company in Dublin, which looks like a couple of million euros from lying about Covid. |

an unfriendly welcome at substack
Regarding Eric Topol's first post at Substack, a Twitter commenter wrote, "A quick glance at the comments suggests a need to moderate them." Moreover, one other Tweet is consistent: "I thought the comments on Twitter were rough—phew! Wishing you strength and courage in sharing this information." This substantiates what Dr. Topol himself said, as I quoted in my previous comment. I wish that I knew more about this incident; Dr. Topol has been a remarkable source of information throughout the pandemic.

False story from an unreliable source.
https://healthfeedback.org/claimrevi...em-the-expose/ Why is it that so many of the conspiracy believers here never, ever check either their sources or the claims before posting? Does the overweening egotism lead to a lack of critical thinking skills, or is it that, when you've been fooled once, you keep getting fooled again, and you can't admit you were wrong? |

As someone who uses genuine critical thinking skills to assess the credibility of sources of information before quoting them, yes. Whereas you have defined yourself as someone who blindly swallows and mindlessly parrots the most blatant and transparent of lies.

Ahahahaha. Most of the people on this forum are in worse shape than I thought. I request that the name of the forum be changed to a storm of non-critical thinking sheep.

Why did you so consistently wet your pants when asked simple questions about your “dreadful days” claims?

The Expose is run by a former welder from Scunthorpe. How would such a person get access to so many amazing scoops?
The simple answer is that he makes it up or uses other people's lies. Yes, the expose *is* evidence of a conspiracy. A conspiracy of grifters, quacks and those who want to damage democracy by pushing lies. |

My question still stands.
How does you posting a story that is untrue prove I am being duped? If you have any factual basis for rejecting the rebuttal of your latest stupid claim, then do please share it. Right now, your childish non-sequiturs are neither convincing nor welcome. |

You put the hyphen in the wrong place. You don't really need one at all, but if you'd written "non critical-thinking sheep" it would mean "sheep who are not thinking critically". The way you wrote it, it means "sheep that are not critical and who are thinking".
I just thought that was unintentionally funny. |

I once met a sheep which was definitely a critical thinker by the car park near Cow Green reservoir in upper Teesdale: bit me on the elbow, it did. Now if that isn't criticism...

You are vulnerable not only to cancer and AIDS, but to all dangers, including covid-19, friends.
Please try to regain your natural immunity. And try to get the gene therapy poison out of you. Try to get rid of the mini razors that cut you from the inside. Now many of you are trying to stick your head in the sand because it's too late, but the right thing is to try to turn from the wrong. |

There is a sub-forum for comedy/entertainment. This is not it.

Emre, as pretty much everything you have posted here in the past has been proven to be false, why on earth do you think anyone is going to listen to you now?
I'm going to stop responding to you now, as it really does look like this is just childish attention-seeking. If you have something substantial to contribute, i.e. a claim with evidence, then I may address it, but this bridge-dwelling drivel is not worthy of serious consideration. |

Literally everybody is. Including you.
No-one has lost their natural immunity. People without functional immune systems tend to die. Vaccines are not gene therapy. WTF? There are no mini razors cutting anyone from the inside. The first thing to do is recognise what is right and what is wrong. |

Please do what I say without wasting time, vaccinated friends.
You did not come from the traditional old vaccines. You have received an experimental gene therapy. Your natural immunity is ruined. By the way, tiny razors cut your veins first and cause clots. The next step will be the chopping of your internal organs. Weak and lean people and athletes are affected more quickly because of this. Learn about natural cures and what needs to be done to prevent this terrible development. Peace |

I'm OK then: I already take an anti-coagulant.
Now, how can I persuade all those tiny razors to move to my chin? That'd be great: self-shaving stubble. |
