Where Is the Outcry Over the New York Times Sowing Covid-19 Vaccine Doubts?

Looks like there is selective outrage when it comes to questioning vaccine decisions.

The press have been on a curious trend lately of sowing confusion and delivering conflicting information on the Covid-19 vaccines. CBS News gave false claims about some of the vaccines, YouTube was blocking videos from prominent doctors due to claimed misinformation, and Dr. Anthony Fauci is walking around delivering conflicting information on a regular basis. This can be dangerous content, and it derives from the media.

But they blame Tucker Carlson. He has been the unique focus of the media for months now, and they are ramping up the pressure. Now of course there is little desire by these cranks to take in all of Tucker’s comments and see that he was not questioning the vaccines, he was laying out the case that those in command are delivering messages which are conflicting and can cause confusion and doubt. They just lash out because he dares to note this narrative about the possible danger of one vaccine can lead to far greater problems.

And it is something the New York Times agrees with, interestingly enough. In its piece about the hold that has been placed on the Johnson & Johnson vaccine, the Times notes what the fallout can be on a global scale.

Safety worries about the AstraZeneca and Johnson & Johnson Covid-19 vaccines have jeopardized inoculation campaigns far beyond the United States, undercutting faith in two sorely needed shots and threatening to prolong the coronavirus pandemic in countries that can ill afford to be choosy about vaccines.

Now Tucker’s points largely concern things here domestically. He points out those in power are the ones undermining confidence in the vaccines. “The only reason we are asking the question is because the people in charge are acting like it doesn’t work. After you have had the vaccine, you must remain under the restrictions. So we are asking a question that is rooted in science, which is: Why? If this stuff works, why can’t you live like it works?” For this, the media has been leaping at him.

But at the Times, they are looking at the issue on a far wider scale and saying essentially the same things.

The actions of American and European officials reverberated around the world, stoking doubts in poorer countries where a history of colonialism and unethical medical practices have left a legacy of mistrust in vaccines. If the perception takes hold that rich countries are dumping second-rate shots on poorer nations, those suspicions could harden, slowing the worldwide rollout of desperately needed doses.

What is this, if not the Times making the very same declaration as Carlson, which is that the people in charge are acting as if the vaccine doesn’t work? The entire thrust of Tucker’s comments concerns the impressions these decisions are leaving with citizens, and the New York Times has echoed that sentiment but on a grander scale, saying this is a problem they are creating for other nations. This becomes another example of the press politicizing the pandemic — the very thing they claim to oppose.

Don’t look for some convoluted plot. It’s just part of the general policy of spreading confusion.

fauci said we should be happy that they are safety first.

Pretty stupid statement for an unapproved vaccine.

When it was Trump’s vaccine, the left rejected it. After biden was placed in the White House, the vaccine became the favorite obsession of the left, and anyone without the vaccine was looked down upon.

You got to give it to Pfizer. They are a PR juggernaut.

Tucker is now the ‘flavor of the month’. Someone to throw their misery at, now that Trump is gone. Just miserable folks, the media. Fickle and arbitrary and bitter.

undercutting faith in two sorely needed shots and threatening to prolong the coronavirus pandemic in countries that can ill afford to be choosy about vaccines.

They were never needed. Back when people were dying, before the 'vaccines' were available, there were drugs like HCQ/AZ and Ivermectin, previously FDA approved and in use for decades for other illnesses, and known to be safe.

But rather then allowing physicians the traditional ability write prescriptions 'off label' (for treating and illness not specifically tested for a drug) or granting the medications the same EUA (Emergency Use Authorization) granted to the experiemental mRNA and DNA 'treatments' mislabeled vaccines, the FDA/CDC let people die.

Patients ill and told they had Covid, using an inaccurate test, were denied all treatment adn told to return when they needed hospitalization (ventilator).

Letting all those people suffer and die without treatment 'paved the way' for the vaccines. By denying available medications to those sick with Covid, they met the two criteria needed for the vaccines to obtain an EAU without sufficient testing.

EUA Criteria that allowed them to push experimental vaccines on the public:

1. An emergency has to exist. By causing needless death and misdiagnosing people with a fake Covid-19 test and then denying ALL medications to that sick person, allong with shady 'cause of death' practices, they created a false emergency.

2. No other treatments or medications can be available. The president took HCQ, and was treated successfully for Covid-19 before the vaccines were available. Foreign countries successfully treated their population with those drugs. But still, the FDA, CDC, and FAUCI never met a 'crime against humanity' they didn't like so they denied access and voila! The experimental vaccines based on failed technology were granted the Emeregency Use Authorization denied safe medications in use for decades.
