BBC Gives Unchallenged Platform To Anti-Vaxxer; Wins Praise From Disgraced Lawmaker Who Compared Covid Shots To Holocaust
Deadline ^ | January 13th, 2023 | Jake Kanter

Posted on 01/13/2023 7:09:52 AM PST by shadowlands1960

The BBC has stoked controversy after giving a virtually unchallenged platform to a Covid jab critic on its rolling news channel.

The UK broadcaster interviewed Dr Aseem Malhotra about a cholesterol medication story on Friday morning, but the vaccine sceptic hijacked the conversation to fan conspiracies about Covid shots. The exchange is going viral in anti-vax circles on social media.

He told BBC presenter Lukwesa Burak that his research had shown that coronavirus vaccines “carry a cardiovascular risk.” He said they had contributed to 30,000 excess deaths involving heart disease in the UK since the pandemic began.

Malhotra replied that there is “lots of data” to support his claim. “The vaccine has certainly helped people who are high risk, but now we should be reasssured that [the] Omicron circulating is really no worse than the flu. This is really time to pause the vaccine rollout,” he added.

Burak did not challenge further. Malhotra’s research has been debunked by Health Feedback, a World Health Organization-backed group that verifies scientific claims made about vaccine safety in the media. Numerous studies have shown vaccines are safe and effective.

The British Heart Foundation has blamed excess deaths on “extreme heart care disruption” in the UK amid a crisis in the National Health Service.

When someone uses the word “debunked” you know that they are a shifty leftist dirtbag covering up and excusing crimes.

Well, where's the other side of the argument; y'know, the "bunked" one?
Of course, one could just make some changes to this debunked research to re-bunk it.
("Debunked" and "Bunked" are just fun to say! ... Not so sure about "Re-bunked" though)
Cheers!

“vaccines are safe and effective.”

Effective? Pretty much everybody who gets Covid has been vaccinated... Is that ‘effective’? Vaccines do nothing for you... If you are prone to Covid, you will get Covid. I know people who’ve had multiple shots, and who at the same time have gotten Covid multiple times... Where’s the effectiveness in that?

The best scientific evidence is empirical... Vaccinated people are getting Covid. Which indicates with certainty that the Vaccines are not effective.

“Malhotra’s research has been debunked...”

Scientific research can’t be “debunked”. It can be challenged, but by other scientists, not by the World Health Organization bureaucrats.

Yep, if they want to debunk something, they better make sure it’s unbunkable. Or if you want to guard against being debunked, you should probably prebunk your argument.

“The vaccine has certainly helped people who are high risk”

Oh, really? Is this the usual limited, disinfo hangout for blunting bad news they can’t keep totally buried?

We need to get these people out of this prison of thinking there are actual ‘authorities’ out there. There are opinions and contrary opinions... if any one cares enough to confirm an opinion, you form a hypothesis and then you develop a method to test your hypothesis. You sure as hell don’t run to the BBC or WHO to find out what you should ‘think.’

Well, I figure most people are always going to be intellectually lazy and looking for someone else to tell them what is true. We’re probably not going to change that. However, nowadays our scientists and academics are engaging in that same kind of intellectual laziness and incuriousity, which is not a good sign.

We need to somehow get critical thinking classes into K-12.

‘Unchallenged’ anti-vax content? After the billions spent marketing the world with ‘safe and effective’ while 100% censoring all ‘challenging’ opinion?

It’s also interesting how they use the trick of putting opposites into opposing extreme camps. Like everyone who has questions about these vaccines are as opposed to ALL vaccines as RFK jr.

Yes - they pose objections to the first world-wide rollout of EXPERIMENTAL toxic ‘vaccines’ as Luddites and those with block-headed blind fear who are incapable of rational thought. Hysterical ‘anti-vaxer’ is their straw man.

First clue of bias...”anti-vaxxer”. This THING doesn’t meet any expectations of a ‘vaccine’. It’s quite obviously a complete failure. How on earth can anyone continue to claim “safe and effective” when everyone still gets it.

Second clue of bias...”debunked”. This word is nothing but code for “we don’t want to debate”. They then cite a single org study from a WHO backed place where the narrative should only be “not consistent with one other study” - but no, they declare whom is correct and dictate the narrative.

Everyone involved in this needs to pay a price. People are dying and they’re still lying.

I know people who've had multiple shots, and who at the same time have gotten Covid multiple times...

The people we know who have come down with Covid multiple times have all been vaccinated and boosted multiple times. Those we know who have not been vaccinated either never realized they had it all or have had symptoms once or twice.

This not only seems to be common but among our acquaintances is the rule. The vaxxes may or may not give some protection from symptoms depending on the individual, but they certainly do not prevent people from getting the virus and this has been officially recognized and acknowledged for many months.

The thing that has not been officially recognized and acknowledged but has been seen in studies from abroad is that the vaccinated often tend to shed a larger amount of both viral particulate and the even more dangerous spike proteins, even when they were not symptomatic. But don't point this out in mixed company because those who have an unshakable faith in the experimental “vaccines” will go “Pompeii” on you and try to bury you with BS. This is probably the most furiously denied aspect of the "vaccines". The thing that you might notice when reading the denials are the hedge words and cherry picking of the data.
