She needs to be brought up before the Covid Nuremberg commission.
You donât do exaggerated sarcasm very well and it only serves to highlight the weakness of your position, and is also deliciously ironic, given your actual tendency to call people Nazis (as well as communists of course, and everything else!).
Talk Radio is a right wing culture war outlet, itâs basically Radio Hard Brexit, and pretty much only platforms views which accords with the money behind it, ie. Rupert Murdoch - very like Fox - as you know full well.
But there you have a heath professional publicly questioning the vaccinate children campaign. Should she be silenced and cancelled in your opinion? Maybe even fired? Are any of the points she raises worth debate?
Youâre doing that straw man thing you do again. While being a straw man.
Youâre also doing that thing a lot of right-wing culture warriors do, where they outsource opinion in the name of âJAQing offâ (Iâm sure you know what it means).
Can you tell me how the US vaccination programme for 12 and up is going? As in, is it proving safe?
Deflection and cowardly. Did you listen to the interview, itâs only 7 minutes. Either this doctor is a danger to society as you argue or she is not. Should she be silenced and cancelled for arguing against vaccination for healthy children?
Do you approve of mandatory vaccination for children?
By the way, a quick background check on that GP that was interviewed would strongly suggest sheâs as mad as a box of frogs and is indeed well down the right wing culture war rabbit hole. Her Twitter is festooned with retweets of the pound shop Farage Laurence Fox and anti-vax nutter Emma Kenny, as well as culture war nonsense from the Daily Telegraph.
So, obviously sheâs somebody you take seriously.
People with a brain, not so much.
The obligatory character assassination, Alinsky would be proud.
Working ourselves hard on HI, interesting piece
I suppose we should check out her silly ârisk of myocarditisâ claim. If itâs false sheâs spreading misinformation, f itâs true she ought to be struck off, or shot.
I think the radio station that platforms cranks like her should be properly regulated to ensure they arenât a propaganda station.
Ofcom are neither capable nor want to enforce such regulation, which is hardly a surprise given the current UK Government.
As it is, I think such obvious idiots should be ignored.
Although, as your presence on this forum proves, it can often be hard to do that!
I donât know. But I would strongly encourage parents to get their children vaccinated where approved.
Would you?
It seems youâre against my free speech and doing that thing right wingers often do where you insist that obvious idiots have their views taken seriously.
HmmmmâŚno.
No. I would strongly encourage them to get an antibody test for their kids to see if they have had Covid, in which case there is no need to add the further risk of myocarditis. Then I would advise them to talk to their doctor about the relative risks of Covid and the Covid vaccine, most doctors are neutral on this and are not far left ideologies.
Itâs interesting that you want conservative media regulated. Thereâs a serious bang of totalitarianism off that belief, but no surprise there.
You can say what you like, I will continue to rubbish it which is my free speech right. Only one of us is calling for regulation of views and itâs not me.
Is burning at the stake not an option anymore?
Very hard to avoid making martyrs that way
Youâre bound to know a few tyrone lads in need of a ticketâŚask around for me
Thatâs deeply irresponsible advice.
Oh, I absolutely do, as would anybody sensible. I take the concept of public debate very seriously.
Since you mentioned the Nazis in this conversation, itâs an objective fact that right wing media worldwide are playing the Goebbels game - that of flooding the public debate space with total bullshit. Isnât it?
Their aim - and Talk Radio in the UK is very much in this vein, is to destroy any sort of sensible public debate in favour of crude reductionist propaganda. Because it sells.
Media ownership will always tend to favour their own bottom line, and given lack of media ownership regulation, media ownership will increasingly tend to favour destruction of regulation. and the peddling of tribal content that creates right wing culture warriors. The so called âmarketplace of ideasâ is a recipe for stupefied populations.
Of course given that you are one of those people who have been radicalised by that right-wing media bullshit machine, especially Murdoch media, and are a full blown right wing culture warrior, youâre obviously going to support zero regulation.
But such regulation is necessary if you want a society that isnât destined to eat itself.
Itâs a pity she has to go. But his thread seems quite logical, so weâve no other option
So do you want all media regulation abolished?
