You say it’s essential, well worth the investment and a very good one. Is that because you agree with all of his points? He’s in a minority. I’m not saying he is wrong, but why believe him over the majority? Who are Twitter to be deciding what is sound medical advice or not? What are their processes for deciding what should and should not be published? Do they have qualified medical staff in their ranks? Or are they guided by the Government? Genuine questions, don't know the answer. Also how do you know what the minority is, if everyone that disagrees with the 'majority' is blocked from giving their opinion?

Opinions are dangerous when people spread them around as fact. Social media have a huge dilemma. Do they govern their own sites in a biased way? Or are they trying to prevent lies being spread as facts? I don’t know the answer. But it would be a seriously dangerous place if left unfiltered. As for being guided by the government. I think Donald Trump would object to that. I don’t make my decisions based on what other random people do or say. I try to base my decisions on science and the majority of the experts recommend. Ideally everyone would do the same but that evidently isn’t the case. Miggins, Dean (hick) Saunders and ariotofmyown 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also not interested in videos filled with emotive shock-jock outrage. Happy to read anything you like though, it's fine, I have a concentration span. The left wing cancel culture mob are giving Joe Rogan a hard time because he does shows with Peter Schiff who criticises socialism on a regular basis. I for one will listen to what he has to say about covid then make my mind up. maxjam and Archied 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How can you decide what the majority of the experts say when many of the experts are blocked? Basically youre saying that you agree with the majority of what you are allowed to read. Of course if you do steer away from MSM, and review a wide range of opinions, this may not be the case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He states that there are many like him questioning 'the science' but for a number of reasons are unable to speak up. Have you have listened to the podcast? What points did he raise that you disagree with? Unless you listen to the podcast you have no idea what arguments Dr Malone made or how well/thoroughly he backed them up. FWIW, Dr Malone made a good point about his unjust and temporary LinkedIn ban. They eventually reinstated him and wrote to him apologising, stating they weren't remotely qualified to question his opinions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gone Posted January 1, 2022 Share Posted January 1, 2022 3 hours ago, 86 Hair Islands said: Started feeling a bit under the weather Thursday night and sensed it was Covid. Both got tests yesterday, hers came back clear, mine not. She had a nasty variant back in the early days of the pandemic and despite being mid-thirties and very fit and healthy, it was touch and go for a while, so she'll be away while I self-isolate. Better safe then sorry and all that. Word of warning; I don't have the Omicron symptoms, rather the temperature, coughing, sore eyes and tight chest associated with earlier variants, so be aware that the potentially nasty ones are still out there. No sermons, just be mindful peeps! Get well soon pal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leading figures are asked to air their views for a reason. In this case I listen to leading figures issuing their views on behalf of science and the WHO. I take podcasts with a big pinch of salt. Most are run by the hosts whose main objective is to get highly controversial views out there to attract a higher number of listeners, and thus with the objective of generating more income for themselves.
