I imagine that much of the covid disinfo is piece-work produced by pimple-faced twerps in Russia for a starvation wage. There are also the ignorant rubes who echo it, though, and unfortunately there are many of those.
In any case, anti-vaxx BS kills people. Anyone who promotes it should be ashamed. |

https://naturalnews.com/2021-04-08-m...-disease.html# And for the member who asked if Jones sold Grape Seed Extract, I have no clue and I didn't think he was in the supplement business. But maybe you know more on that than me and I don't care what he may sell. I listen to his work and words. |

Oh you sweet summer child. Alex Jones is the epitome of Big Supp.

But not, presumably, all of them, if some of them are about his money making business in supplements, right?
If you actually, honestly cared about his work and words, you'd actually pay attention to them. I was going to go on about the numerous outright lies promulgated by the site you cite, its radical far-right anti-democratic agenda, its lionizing of experts like a nostrum-peddling Dutch veterinarian "virus expert," and whatnot, but I figure this quotation from one of the site's internal links should suffice: "Globalists have a forked-tongue plan to exterminate humanity: Many who take the vaccine will simply die from the engineered hyperinflammatory reactions that are likely to hit hard in the Fall, while those who refuse to take the vaccine will be hunted down, rounded up and thrown in covid concentration camps for efficient extermination." As far as the claim made here that the vaccines will eat our brains and make us into zombies, as usual one must ask when, where, how? And how long will you continue to predict that it will happen when it conspicuously does not happen? Will you ever be willing to concede that the prophecy has failed, or will you be like the alarmists who are still predicting that the institution of civil unions 20 plus years ago will collapse society instantly, or like the gun nuts who are still buying up ammunition because they heard President Obama was going to take it away? How far into the past will your future extend? It's time to stop this crap with the R in the right place. It's dangerous, misleading, and yes, no matter how righteous you may believe yourself to be, it's a pack of lies, and you're telling them. |

mRNA technology? That's pretty broad. Certainly, like most technologies, it could potentially be misused. With that said, though, the risks associated with the mRNA vaccines, specifically, are incredibly less than the risks associated with COVID. No amount of huffing and puffing will change that. Nor will the anti-vax lies that you keep falling for change that.

Those seven words explain so much.
Whether or not Jones actually believes what he says is academic. Either sincere or cynical grifter, the things he says are bat **** insane. And I literally mean that someone has to be mentally ill or cognitively impaired to believe a great many of the vile, utterly preposterous claims he's made. |

Caroline must have swallowed Jones's informed lies about a Johns Hopkins simulation about communicating in a pandemic scenario
https://www.centerforhealthsecurity....-communication In its scenario, the vaccine causes brain problems in LIFESTOCK. But Jones knows his listeners will never, EVER actually read from the source but will only believe what he tells them. |

Does it not even occur to you that what he says may be influenced by what he sells? That it might even be deliberate misinformation designed to increase those sales?
You're quick to dismiss the things actual qualified scientists, most of whom have no financial stake at all, say as propaganda for "Big Pharma', but seem unable to grasp that someone like Jones is far more likely to be lying and fear mongering in order to sell more product. |

I'm still shocked (shocked, I tell you!) that Caroline has not referred to Deepak Chopra!
Why? Is he not woo-y enough? Is there not enough pseudo-scientific bolleaux there? Does he not sell enough supplements for Big Supp? Does he actually know what DNA is and how to write mRNA? What is wrong with Deepak? |
