So no harm then, it helped encourage people to take the vaccine and save more lives

What harm did it do exactly?

No the point is you made it up, simple really

No, you're confused or your making it up from somewhere

"How on earth did it get to this?" I think as you mentioned, social media has been responsible for much of it, it draws together these people in droves: This study reviewed 170 studies involving over 158,000 participants associated with conspiratorial thinking, mainly from the United States, the United Kingdom and Poland. Here's just a few reasons the study mentions but lots more context in the article. The researchers found that overall, people were motivated to believe in conspiracy theories by a need to understand and feel safe in their environment and a need to feel like the community they identify with is superior to others. The researchers also found that people with certain personality traits, such as a sense of antagonism toward others and high levels of paranoia, were more prone to believe conspiracy theories. Those who strongly believed in conspiracy theories were also more likely to be insecure, paranoid, emotionally volatile, impulsive, suspicious, withdrawn, manipulative, egocentric and eccentric. https://www.apa.org/news/press/releases/2023/06/why-people-believe-conspiracy-theories

Enough with the promotion of your conspiracy theories, this is getting tedious. We all know you're anti vax, you've claimed many times that vaccinations are putting poisons in your body, we all know you do not even believe in a pathogenic virus which is about as bizarre as can be. But to come on here promoting your rubbish is toxic and not what this forum is about. Perhaps head to 4chan or somewhere more appropriate. Sam Bailey who you are promoting was struck off being a registered practicing doctor by the New Zealand Medical Council for the covid misinformation and anti vax rhetoric she was promoting. Her infamous book she co wrote "Virus Mania" is nothing but a trip down the deep deep rabbit hole. https://factcheck.afp.com/new-zealand-doctor-makes-misleading-claims-about-countrys-pcr-testing-regime-widely-shared-youtube https://www.stuff.co.nz/national/canterbury/132743978/christchurch-doctors-statements-in-videos-attention-seeking-and-clickbait-health-expert-says

So if these vaccines are so wonderful, why are people still suffering from Covid? People are also still suffering from the flu but get regular yearly boosters. That's how it works when you have evolving variants.

More unsubstantiated false claims

"The UAF shelling on civilians of Donbas region started before 2014 and didn't stop." Like I said, nothing of yours sticks without credible links: Civilian casualties in Donbas from 2014 in both government controlled areas and in territory controlled by the self-proclaimed 'republics' https://ukraine.un.org/sites/default/files/2022-02/Conflict-related civilian casualties as of 31 December 2021 (rev 27 January 2022) corr EN_0.pdf

Nothing sticks without a credible link: "Any alleged factual claims must be supported by a valid link to an approved credible source."

However you could also read past the headline as your version of the link is not quite what the reality is. “The poll shows that most of the nation still trusts the [U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention] and the [U.S. Food and Drug Administration] on vaccines -- but there is a partisan gap, and most Republicans don’t trust the nation’s regulatory and scientific agencies responsible for vaccine approval and guidance,” KFF President and CEO Drew Altman said in an organization news release. Fewer than half of Americans (46%) say they will "definitely" or "probably" get the new COVID shot -- that's higher than the percentage who have received previous boosters, though still lower than those who got the initial vaccines in 2020. Interest is highest among those 65 and older (64%) and among Democrats (70%). About 24% of Republicans plan to get the shot.

Thanks for the Kremlin talking points, in future please supply a link to them. There's so much false info there I think you've just thrown what you can against the wall to see what sticks.

Says the poster who claimed the Donetsk, Luhansk, Kherson and Zaporizhzhia elections were held democratically and the people decided to be part of Nova Rossia. Well do you know how many countries recognize the legitimacy of those referendums? 2, North Korea and Syria...............

Oh I don't know. Putin's doing a good job of massacring his own Russian opponents that he knows very well.

Karikó and Weissman published their results in a 2005 paper that received little attention at the time, the Nobel Prize committee said, but later laid the foundation for critically important developments that served humanity during the Covid pandemic. The committee praised the scientists’ “groundbreaking findings” which “fundamentally changed our understanding of how mRNA interacts with our immune system.” “The laureates contributed to the unprecedented rate of vaccine development during one of the greatest threats to human health in modern times,” the committee added in a statement. https://edition.cnn.com/2023/10/02/europe/nobel-prize-medicine-mrna-covid-vaccines-2023-intl-scn/index.html

"The MSM use the anal extraction method to pull polling numbers out of their butts to support whatever narrative they're peddling" So why did you post the first poll then if that's your opinion?

Well obviously you are curious so please go ahead and give it your best shot as to why?

Here's a more up to date poll: https://www.cbsnews.com/news/ukraine-americans-aid-poll-2023-09-10/

Interested to know where you get your information from if not from the media?

Same in Canada: COVID misinformation led to at least 2,800 deaths in Canada, $300M in costs: report At least 2,800 Canadian lives lost to COVID-19 could have been spared, tens of thousands hospitalizations could have been prevented and $300 million in hospital costs might have been saved if not for the insidious spread of misinformation, according to a new report. The report, released Thursday by the Council of Canadian Academies (CCA) – an independent science research organization – examines the socioeconomic impacts of science and health misinformation and how it affected Canadians’ behaviour during two waves of COVID-19 between March and November 2021. It found misinformation – defined as false or misleading information shared intentionally or unintentionally – contributed to vaccine hesitancy for an estimated 2.3 million Canadians. https://globalnews.ca/news/9438436/covid-misinformation-deaths-canada-report/

Why didn't Putin negotiate with Ukraine when Zelensky said Ukraine would not join Nato if this led to a peace deal? This being 6 weeks into the illegal invasion.

UK troops heading to Ukraine (training the Ukrainians) and the Royal Navy heading to the Black Sea to offer support. Great news, we need more countries matching this. Grant Shapps to ramp up support for Volodymyr Zelensky Grant Shapps said that he had held talks with Army leaders about moving “more training and production” of military equipment into Ukraine. He also called on more British defence firms to set up factories in Ukraine. Following a trip to Kyiv last week, Mr Shapps also reveals that he has talked to Volodymyr Zelensky, the Ukrainian president, about how Britain’s Navy could play a role in defending commercial vessels from Russian attacks in the Black Sea. Both moves would mark a significant escalation in the UK’s involvement in defending Ukraine against Vladimir Putin’s onslaught. Speaking in his first newspaper interview as Defence Secretary, Mr Shapps also: https://telegraph.co.uk/politics/2023/09/30/grant-shapps-to-send-uk-troops-to-ukraine/ https://archive.ph/dDtCB Also in the Daily Mail: https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-12579457/grant-shapps-british-troops-ukraine-deliver-training-kyiv.html

Really....lol. A headline from the AP that directly addressed the false claim is disingenuous.....lol A scientist named Buckhaults did indeed state: “The vaccine is not going to cause cancer. There is no cancer causing gene in the vaccine.” Considering he is a cancer specialist then its a credible statement otherwise it would not be there.

Header seems good to go, directly addressing this false claim: “Green Monkey DNA confirmed present in COVID jabs,” read one tweet that was retweeted more than 2,500 times. No need for me to smuggle in anything, Buckhaults is a cancer specialist and should know: "Phillip Buckhaults, director of the Cancer Genetics"
