Political Atheist - The truth is oftentimes not pretty

My take on the “so called” WEF/IDU proponents/opponents of covid19 measures.

Denigrate the use of masks as they are bad for business. Don’t mention air filtration/ventilation as it’s a cost for business. Don’t mention there are antiviral nasal sprays as it’s bad for big pharma.

In the 11th episode of @SciFrTheFringe's "In Defense of Virology," virologist Simon Wain-Hobson and I discuss the 20-year history of missed opportunities to confront the risks and societal implications of dangerous virology research in the years leading up to the COVID-19 pandemic.

We also use the 2020 paper "The Origin of COVID-19 and Why It Matters" (a paper on which recently indicted David Morens is first author and recent fired NIAID Acting Director Jeff Taubenberger is senior author) as a case study of how unscrupulous scientists have used an unethical practice of citing references that do not support the claims being made in an attempt to transform unsupported claims about COVID-19 origins into accepted scientific "facts."

@ColinDMello Ford is just a corrupt idiot.

@GiggaMAGA @quay_dr Governments were behind the coercion so you’d have to take that up with them. If you want to dig deeper, McKinsey was the one advising western governments (and the WHO) what to do.

@MrJoKeR604 @JessieSutherl11 Your relatives could vote for Zack Polanski and the Green Party. If the Green Party wins they’ll feel sorry for us.

@shellenberger I discussed this subject with @RogerPielkeJr on the most recent episode of "In Defense of Climate Change" on @SciFrTheFringe https://t.co/Dd6RrtceUl

@TDotResident It’s just a scam to enrich themselves.

@ANY151161719021 @Tironianae Then AI will be able to diagnose one with cancer by saying it was the cause. What progress!

[Syd Martin @SydMartin4]

@Jopie197802 @Vivek4real_ Or prevent the environmental damage industry does that causes many cancers?

[Syd Martin @SydMartin4]

@sara_dillon You are correct. It is only as good as the last human’s creation.

[Syd Martin @SydMartin4]

@realstewpeters AI is obviously no good if the capitalists won’t invest in it. Just another dot com in the making.

[Syd Martin @SydMartin4]

@malonebarry @sar247365 They’re running a scam. Another dot com in the making. Also reminiscent of a claim to be on mars within ten years. When the AI scam crashes we’ll be in a dark place financially once again.

@DeFiMidas The United States is simply a bunch of billionaires in trench coats who run the country for their sole personal gain. Who would want to grow with this lot?

[Gary Stevenson @garyseconomics]

Billionaires paying zero tax is radical. Taxing them more is not.

@jakebrodes @TiaKinay Nobody thought anything would/could be done with Hitler or Mussolini. If the citizens don’t get them, a foreign country will.

[Syd Martin @SydMartin4]

@TinaYazdani @AnnJuurinen Someone should tell Ford there is no merit to being better than another politician. Next he’ll be bragging about being a better person than Hitler.

[Syd Martin @SydMartin4]

@SenseReceptor @tony_vandongen It’s because they’re not sufficiently taxed, run western governments and now use societies as sources to pilfer from. This is not new. It’s just being noticed.

[Syd Martin @SydMartin4]

@MurielBlaivePhD Tribalism is powerful with people and their political parties. Most who haven’t woken up never will. Tribalism also allows the political system to be manipulated. They own both parties, give citizens a) the belief that the parties are different and b) they live in a democracy.

The economist who billionaires fear, Gabriel Zucman: this is how we get a wealth tax

Too on point not to share. This is great, but too bad the Orange Felon’s enablers won’t let him see it.
This Australian's reply to #Trump's rant about “NATO not being there for America” is perfect.
"Mate. You run a country with 600,000 homeless people sleeping on the street tonight. A country where 40% of adults can't cover a $400 emergency without borrowing money. A country where insulin costs more than a car payment and people are rationing it to survive. A country where medical debt is the number 1 cause of bankruptcy. A country where women are dying in hospital car parks because doctors are too scared of abortion laws to treat a miscarriage.
You lock up more of your own citizens than any nation on earth. More than China. More than Russia. More than North Korea. The land of the free has 2 million people in cages, and a quarter of them haven't even been convicted of anything. They're just too poor to make bail.
Your life expectancy is going backwards. You're the only developed nation where that's happening. Your infant mortality rate is worse than Cuba's. Your kids do active shooter drills between maths and English while you sell the gunmaker's stock to your mates.
Your minimum wage hasn't moved in 15 years. You've got teachers working 2 jobs and veterans sleeping under bridges and you just spent a trillion dollars flattening a country that didn't attack you.
And you’ve got a convicted felon, adjudicating raping, paedophile protecting, porn star shagging insurrectionist running the biggest dumpster fire war campaign since the Taliban thanked you very much for losing again.
And you're calling Greenland poorly run?
Greenland has universal healthcare. Free education. One of the lowest incarceration rates in the world. Nobody goes bankrupt there because they got sick. Nobody dies in a waiting room because their insurance said no.
'NATO wasn't there when we needed them." When exactly was that, champ? September 11? Because NATO invoked Article 5 for the first and only time in history FOR YOU. Soldiers from dozens of countries deployed, fought, bled, and died in Afghanistan FOR YOU. Australia wasn't even in NATO and we still showed up. For 20 years.
And you pulled out at 2am without telling anyone and left them to deal with the mess.
So maybe before you start calling other countries poorly run, have a look at your own backyard, you spray-tanned aluminium siding salesman. The only thing poorly run in this picture is your f----- mouth."
