Analyzing Fact Checkers, 'Refusing' the Vaccine and How Sensationalist Memes are used as Disinformation

in Deep Dives4 years ago (edited)

So I've seen this meme regarding how to question a doctor that is administering a vaccine in order to correctly 'refuse' it. Let's address some of the points in it and also its paired fact checker article:

Is there MRC-5 in this vaccine?
Is there is possibility this vaccine will cause an iatrogenic reaction?

MRC-5 is apparently aborted fetal cells, and apparently we have the right to refuse that.

Iatrogenic reactions are very common and also apparently give the individual a right to refuse a vaccine - under the premise that the doctor has taken the Hippocratic Oath and must do their utmost to uphold it.


First up, it is VERY important to note that the meme itself is sensational. While it has some valid claims it also generalizes and speaks from the perspective of a victim (no need to be a victim if you know your rights, your facts, have done your research and calmly but assertively stand your ground). Sensationalism is doing an incredible job in the areas of invalidating truth these days with it being used as a tool to invalidate good data.

It is possible that the same original source that promoted a 'fact check' of the meme also wrote it! 😝

It is now more important than ever to be specific about the information we spread and filter all exaggerations and generalizations. We can not win this war with half-informations, overt exaggerations and mass-generalizations. We win it by standing firm in the solid ground of what is actually going on.

It is never a war if you know where you stand and you stand your ground firmly with complete confidence in who you are and what you know. The war has already been won if we purify ourselves and our information - having complete confidence in our judgements and material. To hone perception to this level takes time, discipline and hard work.

The aim of disinformation is to muddy the truth just enough that when a remedy is offered it is accepted without question because the 'truth' itself was never clear enough in the half-point it was making.

Within this, to successfully propagate disinformation in the collective sphere of influence it is imperative to control both sides of the narrative.

Those that feel a semblance of the truth in this meme because of their intuition, and do not critically assess the information within it (allowing emotions to cloud their judgement), may take this meme at face value. Then they will attempt to introduce this partially correct information into the collective sphere and be immediately cast out as extremists by their fellows that don't agree with them. The 'truth crusader' will get angry and more rabid for being ignored and treated unfairly and this reaction will be further cause for the intended listener to not see the truth in what is being said.

Strong emotional reactions by default put the fault on the reactor - it's a rule of human social conditioning, it's not always true but that doesn't matter - it is the unconscious reaction of the average human within modern western society to blame the reactor for the problem. This reaction in-turn invalidates the truth (which was contaminated with sensationalism, generalisations and false information in the first place) and the would-be listener throws the baby of truth out with the bathwater of propaganda.

Disinformation campaign success!

The purpose of disinformation is to disorient the reader from the truth with outrageous claims which lead them to stop questioning and to simply trust the authorities (because they really are looking out for your best interests... not 🤑). A successful disinformation campaign has the reader at the end of the day believing they have made an intelligent rational deduction of their own volition while not realising they have taken the bait, hook, line and sinker -

It works even better if it feeds the intelligence ego of that individual so that if their point is questioned it is taken to be a personal attack on the intelligence and intelligent deductive reasoning ability of the individual who harbours the disinfo as truth.

It is important to attach the information and a belief in being intelligent to the ego in order to fog true rational deductive reasoning. That's how we get professors and academics who are full blown sucked into a web of lies - you're fighting against their ego at the end of the day. Pointless exercise... stop. It of course is not just professors and academics with intellectual egos its also your regular Joe next door who started reading science journals last month because his girlfriend thinks its hot -- and the dad of five children that knows how to save everyone -- and the female entrepreneur of the week in your local friendly corporation...

Unfortunately, this also illustrates that the path of truth is not for everyone - the reason for this is because a very small minority actually do do the dirty research and question everything concisely, accurately and correctly without ego. Why? Because it requires real effort and hard work the majority of humans just aren't conditioned to do (not even with themselves as motivation). People also don't have the time to invest this much time into honing their research skills and researching properly - society keeps us numb and busy for a reason. Until you reserve that time for yourself it will not exist.

The collective always finds the shortest route with the least effort in order to get the maximum result. To be an individual you must stand separate from the collective and in this be willing face life alone and face the pain of doing so.


To be able to avoid the vaccine is one thing, for it to be known publicly that you have not received it is another. Whether or not you have broken a law per se, you will likely regardless be ostracized by 'authoritarian communitarianism' aka group-think (thanks @perceptualflaws for this accurate term as defined in this empowering article).

And behold the fact check! 🙌

So folks, if you want the 'facts' on that meme (I'm kidding, right?) - https://factcheck.afp.com/false-advice-refusing-vaccines-circulates-during-covid-19-pandemic

Roll up, roll up! After this we have Donald Trump performing the maintain-the-stock-market-pre-election-fake-lation blues 🤠

Looking up iatrogenic reaction on Duck Duck Go, this fact check article is the first item that comes up. (Quick note - it is iatrogenic and not 'Latrogenic' as it seems to look like in the meme).

This 'fact checking' has some points but is certainly biased in one direction. It states the current legislation in three countries does not force mandatory vaccinations - but fails to address what 'may be necessary' in a 'national emergency' in a state of martial law; that these 'rights' would be made null if martial law is imposed or if other bills, policies or statutes were streamlined because of the obvious reality of a fast encroaching totalitarian state caused through 'national emergency'.

Thus the need to find legal loopholes around the vaccine - thus the point of the meme.

It magically makes MRC-5 ok for you by stating these cells were made in a lab and only ever twice came from a human fetus (phew! 😅).

One of their sources historyofvaccines.org is a wonderfully written website of pro-vaccine propaganda.

It is probably right however, that not ALL vaccines contain it. Which is falsely stated by the meme aka thank you fact check article for being true to your purpose in this instance despite the obvious bias.

And it has this to say about iatrogenic reactions -

"The posts also mention that there is always a possibility of an iatrogenic reaction to a vaccine.
This is true of vaccines as much as of other treatments.
“Any medication or medical procedure comes with a risk of side effects or complications,” Quarterone told AFP, suggesting those concerned about risks should weigh them in comparison to the risks associated with not immunizing a child."

[article ends]

What the article fails to address here is if there really is a right to refuse a vaccine on the condition that it creates an iatrogenic reaction. Then it goes on to justify these kind of reactions in vaccines by grouping them with 'other treatments' (by 'treatments' would include medical association endorsed pharmaceutical drugs) and letting us know that with any medication or medical procedure comes a risk.

You must now cheerfully accept the risks of something that hasn't been tested properly and probably isn't safe for you. But everyone else is doing it. Even if you do normally have reactions to drugs and medication - just remember - everything in life has a risk... ARE YOU FUCKING SERIOUS? 😩

Meanwhile... have some death!

Fear death! Death, death, DEATH! But...

Accept the risks of this vaccine.... 😅 ...

but DEATH!

But accept the risks of this multi-billion dollar industry endorsed medication... ... ...

because we love you... 😉👫 👨‍🔬

Then the article leaves us with this.. ---

pexelseberhardgrossgasteiger730981.jpg

... and that is... the wind rolling on the hills of Scotland... in other words... the hum of a cloud floating by on the Nullabor plain... the simple solitary caress that nature gives when nothing is 'cawing'... ...

Silence...

It allows the mind of the true believer of the religion of COVID-19 to make the rest of the story up, grown from the petri dish of a fear based narrative, and to just forget that you may be able to stand up for your rights by finding legal loopholes in an ever encroaching totalitarian state.

Just accept the jab! For the good of the people!

What this article fails to address in the meme, is that it is 'belligerent' (a legal term) to refuse a legal ruling, a direction of the police, ya da ya da.. Meaning if you outright refuse you will have caused dishonour and they will have legal standing to disregard any rights you try to hold afterwards. You must not cause dishonour (it's a legal thing) - you must only 'refuse' by asking questions that pre-suppose the reservation of your rights as a man or a woman, whilst simultaneously avoid answering their questions incorrectly, trapping you in the jurisdiction the would-be jabber projects onto you.

So don't jump up and down on your heels and yell at the jabber in a blind rage... speak calmly and assertively and hold your ground.

Either reply with questions that build your case or use conditional acceptance - eg. "I accept your offer of a vaccine if you can guarantee it will not cause an iatrogenic reaction..."

Also of note is that this Fact Check article is written under the assumption of the correctness of the mainstream narrative on COVID-19, that it really is as scary as the news media purports and we should all just fall inline and do what we are told 'for the good of the people'. And to prime your mind before you have read the 'facts' in this bias piece of snake rattle, the article reminds you of deaths caused by COVID-19.

Fear your death! 180,000 deaths! (Article written at April 22)

Ok, admittedly the figures have grown - but so have the cases making it LESS lethal. It is not to deny the existence of the virus, nor to disrespect those that have suffered directly from it - it is to simply look at it in perspective.

The current figures using their link to the John Hopkins Website sit at 801,447 casualties and 23,051,232 cases - putting it at apparently a 3.4 percent casualty rate. Which are so far below the original projected figures which justified lock-down and the collapse of the economy (1, 2 3) of which the fallout effects of isolation, lockdown, non-hospitalization of usually hospitalized patients for other causes and starvation caused by the collapse of the economy in many countries stand to cause multiple times more death than the virus itself (1, 2 3, 4, 5). There is more cases as such (making it less lethal (1, 2, 3)), the testing methods for the virus are inaccurate (1, 2, 3, 4) and also the casualty rates are inflated and inaccurate due to false data (1, 2, 3, 4, 5). It is important to note the amount of viruses and causes of death more deadly than COVID-19 (1, 2). Here are just a handful of articles and links on the issue of which there are many, many more - this is by no means a comprehensive list.

However, Death is paraded in front of our faces on the mainstream media as if it just started happening yesterday along with statistics that no one really understands and a constant promo of the 'new normal' of society. This constant emphasis on deaths and casualties puts the mind of the average individual in a 'must work together to save humanity and preserve the sanctity of life' trance so we all then run away from big bad evil ugly DEATH as fast as we can, quelling the questioning mind to stop doing their own research, to let go of any hope they might have of individual rights - because...

THE COLLECTIVE WILL...

CARE THE SHIT OUT OF YOU

And what a wonderful reassurance that is... 🤓

Who will fact check the fact checkers?

The vigilante vaccine enforcers in many instances will likely be the 'good people' and not the state. Like the police do in many instances (I could rattle off a few stories to make you question the legal system (if you don't already of course)) - the people will take the law into their own hands, possessed zombies 'doing the good work of the people' 'saving humanity' - making all manner of justification and reasoning why you must be wrong, why you have a mental illness for refusing and why you must accept, accept, ACCEPT!

The people will not be able to control themselves having been set on a path already paved for them - A pre-strategized plan of the powers that be to control the collective psychological momentum.

And that is why for us on the otherside, empathy must be observed to know how and when to introduce 'truth'. We must be tactful and respectful with the way we speak about things in order to be heard.

We must choose our moments

We must also see when our voice won't be heard and save our breath, saving it for a time when we have 100 percent certainty that our views won't be misunderstood or twisted in a way to spite our individual capacity to make a living.

It is also assumed in the meme that a doctor will administer the vaccine - but it is not just doctors that administer vaccines, nurses and trained people do too and they don't all take the Hippocratic Oath. However, if you can correctly claim that medically the vaccine will cause you harm - nurses or trained people will have to consult their superiors and you'll get to the authority one way or another in order to ask the right questions to the right person to 'refuse' a vaccine with 'honour' (legal honour).

Considering death...

This article is not intended to cause you to lose empathy for the dead or dying. The point is not that we should lose our humanity and disrespect those affected. It is to see how the fear of death, disproportionate to its possible causes, is controlling the behaviours of the westernized human.

It could be said that fears have mental jurisdiction and it is important to keep those fears within their jurisdiction not to give them full rights over the entirety of our souls, effectively locking us down in a system of absolute control within the self.

To the inner, to the outer - so mote it be. If we change and we open up inwardly, standing up for our rights within our own selves - reserving the right to have control of our own lives and our own emotions - we affect the physical world outwardly allowing more and more for people to do the same.

Reserve the right for yourself against the fear so you can live the fullest potential your life deserves. Set the jurisdiction of freedom above the jurisdiction of fear of death within your own being first.

Fear has a purpose, it is a tool of the self to avoid danger - but it can also take over like a demon and be used by powerful people that understand the tendencies of human morality.

Let us know ourselves enough to divide realistic enabling boundaries from irrational boundless fears.

And I leave you there... good luck everyone. I hope to see you on the otherside of the window of truth that exposes all deception and purifies the love within our souls.

Regards,

Monty

Great essay. I have seen that meme and wondered about it myself. How do we say no though? Yummy mummy says if we raise our frequencies we will be "invisible" at the negative frequencies. Oracle Girl says we are all perfect already and just need to realize it to usher in pure love among us all, even the shadow controllers. A course in miracles says nothing unreal exists, and nothing real can be threatened. Where does that leave me when the vaccinator knocks on my door?

Thank you for being among us.

Everyone seems to have their own delusion which makes them feel safe until the devil comes knocking. Who knows, maybe we really can 'love' ourselves out of this dimension and walk into a new one...

Thanks for appreciating the article.

👏👏👏

Fuck, I wish my attention span for reading hasn't gone to shit and had been keeping up with more of your writing. Some great nuggets in here. These were my favs:

We can not win this war with half-informations, overt exaggerations and mass-generalizations. We win it by standing firm in the solid ground of what is actually going on.

It is never a war if you know where you stand and you stand your ground firmly with complete confidence in who you are and what you know. The war has already been won if we purify ourselves and our information - having complete confidence in our judgements and material.

OMG. this is GOLD.

Strong emotional reactions by default put the fault on the reactor - it's a rule of human social conditioning, it's not always true but that doesn't matter - it is the unconscious reaction of the average human within modern western society to blame the reactor for the problem. This reaction in-turn invalidates the truth (which was contaminated with sensationalism, generalisations and false information in the first place) and the would-be listener throws the baby of truth out with the bathwater of propaganda.

Thanks for coming over and having a read. It's great when someone appreciates it.

If you liked this one, you'd probably like this one as well:

How are things anyway? Keeping sane?

I've got that and near all of your others from the last month in open tabs... figuring one a day might be a reasonable goal. lol.

sanity... yeah, I suppose. mostly cuz I've just been self-isolating away from the crazies. lol.

summer was great, spent camping and biking. not super keen to be back at parents', but is what it is for the time being. nothing much else new or exciting to report on.

I'm honoured to be on your tabs. Haha

Outdoor time sounds great. I live right near a lake, reminds me I need to get out there more.

Such good groundingness in nature.

fuck yeah. the best medicine. 💖

Some sound advice here @montycashmusic ..I have shared in the hope that you gain more views. That's the problem with many of these memes, they contain scraps of truth that play to the subconscious mind and the hectic nature of our lives.

However, if you can correctly claim that medically the vaccine will cause you harm - nurses or trained people will have to consult their superiors and you'll get to the authority one way or another in order to ask the right questions to the right person to 'refuse' a vaccine with 'honour' (legal honour).

Gates has already stated that producers need to be indemnified, and it could potentially cause millions of reactions .. from the horse's mouth, we should keep a copy to hand that can be played back. :)

Good call on highlighting the fact-checking article reminds me of the times when I've looked into the fact-checking sites, some of the ways they present truth or falsehoods on their platforms are ridiculous .. disproving the extremes that have oft (outside of memes) never really been stated, but acknowledging the validity of the pertinent question in the same fact check, safe in the knowledge that a % only look at the headline truth or falsehood.

It's also worth noting that John Hopkins hosted event 201 ..and their School of Hygiene and Public Health was funded by the Rockefeller Foundation .. small world. lol

Anyway great post my friend ..Ihope you get some more eyes on it, interesting to hear some other ideas. :)

I was just talking about fact checkers last night with a newly graduated young woman. I said "they find a tiny irrelevant-to-the-main-content-of-the-article piece that is marginally incorrect, then mark the entire article and ALL its content false". She said "they say it's partly false" in the fact checkers defense. True, but no one who accepts the fact checker pronouncements reads far enough to know that, so the readers go away thinking the main claim is false. How is it possible so few people see this?

This reaction is attributable to a common tendency of the human animal to place things in two boxes 'right' or 'wrong'. It's a testament to the inability (or unwillingness) to face the pain of the hard work of dividing truth from fiction, of filtering through gray areas to save all the babies from all the bathwaters.

It's hard work to precisely divide truth from fiction. Many activists spread a form of disinformation by contaminating their publications with emotion, causing the average person to distance themselves from them - while they actually often have some very good points and some very valid information.

By hard work I mean a high level of conscious analytical effort - with self-trained systems of thought that know what to spot and where. This takes time to develop and discipline.

Having said this, if the average human was really interested in discovering the truth, they would have or would develop the ability be empathic to the intent of the writer and find the truth within. The reader should not have to be coerced into seeing a point of view, we should be able to make up our own minds on the facts - but we just don't live in this idealistic version of the world.

We spend so much time trying to babyfeed information to the masses in a hope that they will pick it up and gain an addiction to the truth - as we once did.

It's the writer's job to try and make the truth as plain to see as possible and to recognize and address any personal biases.

Another cause of this blindness to the truth (besides this tendency to box things in black and white) is that people are still so dependent on leadership to tell them what to do as 'approved authorities'. Many people still do not fathom that their government is not working within their best interests and so still blindly follow the narrative.

Again, it requires hard work to take self-responsibility to do your own research, to look outside of the box and to be independent. It takes someone willing to face a small amount of pain now, in order to avoid a greater pain later.

This to me is the dividing line between animal and human. The ability to pre-meditate or pre-strategize (a term I pulled from @perceptualflaws). When we can willingly face pain in preparation for calamity instead of waiting for the pain or time of pain to come to us before we deal with it - this qualifies us as being capable of being independent from the group mind that simply waits for shit to happen then reacts.

I am not making an 'us' and 'them' scenario. I am illustrating that the collective mind is an unconscious organism following a predefined path and those that wish to declare individuality from the collective must do so now and face the pain of doing so willingly.

For the moment, many things like this in this realm still seem grey. But in time, it will all become more clear as we enter more and more intense periods of this repeating cyclical point in history.

Regards,

Monty

Thank you so much for that considered response!

You and @perceptualflaws both warn us of controlled opposition, and I am concerned that in my quest to find like minded people I might fall prey to one of those groups. Like you, I think us v them is not productive and that everyone has something of value to say.

I spend hours of every single day trying to find and then disseminate valid information, mostly and regrettably on FB where I regularly am called a kook. I use a few tools to determine if the info is valid, the first being the level of Trump hate. If there is any of that, I disregard the info and the source: The intercept, democracy now, young turks, salon - all those and more I do not bother with because so much of what they say is first filtered through hatefulness. Second, I gauge the level of Trump love. I'm much more open to love than to hate, but too much seems suspect - Trump is not the savior. Q has done some fabulous work, but filtered through Trump worship they can go far astray and now that they too are being derided on MSM, calls for Trump to disavow them, I can see that they too were set up. Third I have to rely on my own knowledge of world events, which is not extensive but is good enough to know when a whopping lie is being told, and there are a great many of these, especially whenever Ukraine is in the story.

I make a few assumptions, as few as possible. #1 Assumption is that the medical industry main line talk is nearly 100% false. Mainstream news is as well. Since mainstream media is controlled by the Rothschild family and medical info by the Rockefellers, I deduce the eugenicists are back, if they have ever been gone, and that they are much more powerful than ever before.

So now I understand that there is an evil entity, made up of a relatively few but very powerful negative frequency individuals, who use every event to turn minds to their will. It's not hard to see the hooey from this position, and to know what to do to protect myself for the immediate future, but it sure is hard to convey that it IS hooey to most people, and that's what must be done to protect us all in the more distant future.

So, I have alienated almost all of my real life friends, who are all "rah rah Harris/Biden!" both of whom turn my stomach. They are all "wear a mask or you are a neo-nazi white supremacist!" which alarms me. We are not far from becoming the Hutu and the Tutsi (not sure I got those names right, but folks in Rwanda in the 90's who were friendly neighbors one day and murderous neighbors the next) which I am now certain was just one of many test runs for the eugenicists who are at work doing the same thing globally today.

So I still have the question "what should/could I be doing?" Banging my head on the wall trying to turn eyes and obsessions away from Trump and toward the eugenics is getting me nowhere, or so it seems. Once in a while someone thanks me for being so vocal, and quietly tells me they agree. Is that enough?

Lastly, since I too would like to feel part of a group of some sort for the support that offers in these ridiculously difficult times, what do you think of the oracle girl?

Peace, love and freedom matter

Thanks heaps for the reblog and checking out the article. Yes, it's so important to analyze both sides of a story. I get a little kick out of going through something word for word and figuring out the spin no matter how subtle.

Might start a series called 'Fact Checker' Fact Check with Monty - or something of the like. Anyways, have an awesome day... suns out here today, life is good again. 😀

Today I learned that my daughter, who lives in another state, is not allowed to go back to her state without quarantining because 12 asymptomatic "cases" were just found in my county. If these people are not sick, then why is the entire county being essentially quarantined? But fear of the second wave has everyone believing a great many lies. Even my daughter, who will not be coming home any time soon. I fear never if we keep following dictates that do not spring from our own sources.

Sounds like a difficult situation. Many people are doing it hard as a result of the lock-down measures out of their control. I wish you the best of luck with seeing your daughter again soon.
