If you’re still wasting your time with the legacy media, you’re aware of the fact that people who doubt the official coronavirus narrative are portrayed as utter morons, crazy conspiracy theorists, antivaxxers, anti-science, etc.
However, according to an MIT study conducted last March, which obviously went under the radar because it doesn’t support the narrative, the majority of the people in the “skeptic movement” are highly informed individuals, who are actually using official data to make their arguments.
It’s quite amazing that the establishment is actually admitting this, as the mainstream media is still framing skeptics as “right wing” retards who are victims of disinformation.
The current propaganda that’s being rolled out 24/7 is that you’re either in full agreement with the legacy media/the government (same thing), or you’re a retard who believes crazy conspiracy theories that make no sense.
Hence, the MIT study was ignored and buried. However, the study concluded that that people will believe the official narrative more the less information they have.
MIT News, March 4, 2021:
A study from MIT shows how coronavirus skeptics have marshalled data visualizations online to argue against public health orthodoxy about the benefits of mask mandates. Such “counter-visualizations” are often quite sophisticated, using datasets from official sources and state-of-the-art visualization methods.
The researchers combed through hundreds of thousands of social media posts and found that coronavirus skeptics often deploy counter-visualizations alongside the same “follow-the-data” rhetoric as public health experts, yet the skeptics argue for radically different policies. The researchers conclude that data visualizations aren’t sufficient to convey the urgency of the Covid-19 pandemic, because even the clearest graphs can be interpreted through a variety of belief systems.

When you totally own the legacy Media and social media, you can create your own fantasy world, and at least 40 percent of the public will believe it.
Stealing that
Great pic. !!
Highly informed — that’s why they are skeptics.
Google and Facebook are trying to remedy that, no?
I would rather that they didn’t know.
“The researchers conclude that data visualizations aren’t sufficient to convey the urgency of the Covid-19 pandemic, because even the clearest graphs can be interpreted through a variety of belief systems.”
That likely means that extrapolations from the data are ambiguous, but these researchers seem to exclude the possibility that they might be wrong. If they want to persuade those “highly informed” skeptics, they might try a little humility and open-mindedness. A lot to ask; I know.
Sounds like the ‘legacy media’ hasn’t figured out you don’t need a Phd in virology to understand this. It can be explained in simple English.
In evaluating information disseminated by the Federal government, option 1 for me is to believe the government is lying to me. In that regard, they have a flawless record. They obviously do not have my best interest at heart. I am not their main constituent or concern, elites and governmental apparatchiks are.
Part of the scientific method, but their "science" is authoritarian "shut up and do as you are told."
I don’t think libs BS detector were ever made functional.
Thumbs up to that!
“...are highly informed individuals, who are actually using official data to make their arguments.”
Case in point. It almost a sure thing when Youtube delets information like this.

Case in point: Calling BS on muzzle requirements when the back of the box of disposable muzzles says NOT FOR USE IN HEALTHCARE SETTINGS.
It can be explained in simple English.

And if you can’t explain it in simple English, you are the problem.
See: Feynman Technique
Albert Einstein is often credited with having said that (paraphrasing) “you don’t know something well if you can’t explain it to a child.”

Oh, they do have a BS detector.
But when they find it, they worship it.

Yes it’s a nasty flu

Interesting,
That’s what I wanted

The best I could do.
Of course I put
