I’m loving this one.
The Times has a new piece about the anti-vaxx movement:
“The
Anti-Vaccine Movement’s New Frontier: A wave of parents has been
radicalized by Covid-era misinformation to reject ordinary childhood
immunizations -- with potentially lethal consequences.”
And Friday morning, they sent out an email blast to promote the article.
Here’s their promo. The Times really had to stretch to come up with such a load. My comments are in brackets.
“This
week, Moises Velasquez-Manoff reports on a wave of parents who have
been radicalized by Covid-era misinformation to reject ordinary
childhood immunizations -- with potentially lethal consequences.”
[Wow. The
author has three names. Impressive. I feel I need at least three to
reply. Jon The Rebel on Vaccine Fantasy Island Just Say No to Bill Gates
Rappoport.]
“In 2019, even before the pandemic struck, the World Health
Organization
listed growing vaccine hesitancy as one of its top 10 threats to global
health. Now the pandemic has given anti-vaccine advocates an
opportunity to field-test a variety of messages and find new recruits.”
[Yes,
our anti-vaxx squadrons use dozens of human and AI analysts to float
our messages and then test the results. We use polls, surveys, in-home
visits, NSA-type surveillance tools, and even covert assets in the press
to expand our reach. Elite foundation money pours into our coffers.]
“’There’s
a lot of misinformation about the Covid vaccines, and it just bleeds
into everything,’ one doctor told us. ‘These fake stories and bad
information get stuck in people’s heads, and they understandably get
confused’.”
[One
doctor told the Times that. Well, case closed. Verdict? We’re
guilty. The doctor is always right. Wait a minute. I just called a
doctor. He told me the Times’ doctor is wrong. Duel at dawn. Choice of
weapons.]
“If
this dynamic continues, it could threaten decades of progress in
controlling infectious disease -- a triumph that has, paradoxically,
hindered the effort to counter vaccine skepticism. In the developed
world, only a small portion of the population has seen the death and
suffering caused by the diseases of eras past; vaccines, in the minds of
many, have come to pose a greater threat than the diseases that they
have helped nearly vanquish. In a sense, vaccines have become victims of
their own success.”
[Obviously,
the Times writer is a gymnast. Probably practices yoga. He can bend and
stretch and twist with the best of them. Also, notice how he
characterizes the parents who “have been radicalized”: They’re people
who don’t have a brain in their heads. They’re massively ignorant
robots, dupes and yokels just waiting for vaccine misinformation, which
they grab like kids going for candy. Parents actually thinking for
themselves? Never happens.]
On
the other hand, readers of the Times are DISCERNING. They’re COLLEGE
GRADS. They take their vaxx info from the paper’s pros, who have
perfected the ability to look down their noses at the great unwashed and
cluck and tsk tsk and express a modicum of sympathy.
Nowhere
in the Times---ever---will we read an actual debate on the subject of
vaccines, in which two sides are adequately represented and given ample
space to present a little thing called EVIDENCE (or fake evidence).
To
host such debates would be demeaning for the Times. It would signal a
departure from their perch which constantly advertises:
if-we-say-it-we-know-it.
Maintaining that pose month after month, year after year, decade after decade is debilitating.
Which is one reason why so many mainstream reporters are drunks.
