Just browsing the online shitrag that is News.com today and came across this article on the Queen and how it was portrayed she was using Ivermectin, when according to the article she wasn't. Note the language used..particularly the use of the word 'dangerous'.
https://www.news.com.au/entertainment/tv/current-affairs/channel-9-apolo...
Then i looked up an article about Ivermectin pre Covid and found this one...
https://www.isglobal.org/en/healthisglobal/-/custom-blog-portlet/ivermec...
Note the line: "Because of its excellent safety profile and broad spectrum of activity, ivermectin is catalogued by the World Health Organisation as an essential medicine and is regarded by many as a "magic bullet" for global health."
Alot of talk on these forums lately is about trusting the science, listening to the experts, most of which use the big media giants as their platforms to broadcast information. If you choose to question what is pumped out adnauseum to you these days you're labelled a tin foil hatter, a conspiracy theorist and accused of posting misinformation.
I just wonder what other peoples thoughts are on the media narrative as opposed to doing your own research. I once trusted the media alot more, however in this day and age, when we have soooo much information available at the touch of a keypad, some false, some verifiable, it's hard to trust the media when you can easily catch them out in blatant lies, or at the very least, misleading the public as shown above.
Anyway, that's my thoughts. Wondering on others. Just gonna read, not going to chirp in on this one.

Never ever forget.

My best one was at Apple store. The employee would only see me outside the store wearing a mask and a face shield.

I was at a deserted beach about 3 weeks ago. An onshore wind. One lone figure walked the empty sands with a mask on. His risk of catching covid during his walk without a mask would have been about the same as winning the lotto jackpot five weeks in a row. In the mask he may have had actually more risk than without it if it had been worn previously near people (still vanishingly low).

Fear can warp the mind.

For 2 years myself and others have been berated, been name called, been forced to be an outsider of society.... for trying to raise these exact concerns. Both on this thread and in the community. And what do you know. Turns out the jab was poison after all.
No admission of guilt from deadshit knuckleheads like Roadkill, nor from those self assured smug know it alls that berated me and others on here.. You lot have alot to answer for in your haste to jump on the vaccine bandwagon and demonise anyone who didn't get the poison jab. A big fuck you to anyone that pushed for the vaccine to be forced upon society and especially those who labelled us murderers and that it was a virus of the unvaccinated. Seriously, are your eyes and ears painted on?
Instead of a civil conversation it was always about shouting down anyone that tried to raise concerns. It was literally 2 days ago people were on here ripping into me for raising these very concerns that are now being exposed. Pawns of the MSM all of yas. Hook line and sinker. Hope you lot learn something out of this. There's a whole lot of you that turned on the minority who actually asked fair and reasonable questions out of concern for the health of others.
To those legends that have persevered through this quagmire of military grade propagandha to push a poisonous jab onto the population, huge respect and thanks. Legends the lot of you. True warriors.

He is a disgrace, he cheats everywhere he goes, tried to pass Federal Police a falsified vaccination document, he thinks he is so good and above all laws of all the countries unfortunate to have his presence. He’s a known wife basher, violent spoilt brat when he loses, a typical smiling assassin. I cant recall his name at present but a known British journalist has an incredible amount of dirt on Djokovic and his behind the scene antics. I’ll report back with the guys name. Maybe check your facts first before exclaiming he was poorly dealt with the last time he tried to illegally enter the country. How the treatment of a sportsperson is deemed to be a National Disgrace is laughable, I’ll tell you what a National Disgrace is Burleigh, the amount of aboriginal people held in gaols, the appalling treatment of them in general and the filth thats just been exposed from that shithole Brisbane Lock Up drama recently highlighted. But you may just love your sporting demigods more than anything else.

That was around the same time you were scared of your mum catching Covid from the dirty unvaccinated and if she did catch it you wanted them charged with murder.

Burleigh, I don't agree with many things but I do agree with this. This 'expert' has given himself the freedom to win points on dead bodies without even discussing it with their families. And it is all based on assumptions. Honestly, how low can one fall, how can someone like this have any integrity?

If he had said it could be caused by the vax he would be burleighs new poster boy and a hero. That link superfreak posted on the previous page about them doing studies into myocarditis and vaccinations also said that all the peer reviewed studies show that more unvaxxed people are getting myocarditis than vaxxed. Considering about 90% of the population have had the jab this is surprising. People should read the whole article and not start back slapping and salivating over a headline.

I’m a novid……….I think…………. Could I have immunity from previous infection with a similar virus?

SARS-CoV-2 is not the only respiratory coronavirus that regularly infects humans. Four others – 229E, HKU-1, OC43 and NL63 – share some similarity with SARS-CoV-2.

Most adults would have been infected by these viruses multiple times throughout their life. This raises the possibility that immunity generated by lifetime and/or recent exposure to these other coronaviruses might generate immunity that provides some protection against SARS-CoV-2 infection and symptomatic COVID-19.

More research is needed to better understand this, but the existing evidence is compelling and it's certainly plausible. https://www.abc.net.au/news/2022-11-11/why-have-not-had-covid-immunity-g...

It’s no wonder the mainstream media continues to lose all credibility and purpose…
- this, from the self proclaimed ‘unmatched global news source’ :

‘US seeks just and lasting peace in Ukraine’ ….

Followed closely by :

‘Speaking in Finland, the newest member of the NATO alliance, Blinken said the United States would help build a "Ukrainian military of the future".

That meant "a modern air force, integrated air and missile defence, advanced tanks and armoured vehicles, the national capacity to produce ammunition, and the training and support to keep forces and equipment combat ready".’

- Sounds like a truly unmatched and foolproof recipe indeed ;)

Continued supply of arms, commitment to further escalation of military intervention - as well as proposed facilitation of weapons manufacturing and advanced training.

All for just and lasting peace ? $$$
Not sure how that works ;)

Jail for some. Media attacks or cancelling for others.

What is interesting is that the media / cancelling option requires complicity of so many to work: journalists, editors, owners etc.

They know the rules of the game almostly instinctively.

Crude simplification of dealing with wrongthink:

East - Jail - wolf in wolf clothing.

West - Media - wolf in sheep clothing.

Although the West is bringing the law option more into play these days to control wrongthink.

East and West learning tricks from each other how to control their populations and heading somewhere not so nice.
