You're gonna need some of that Woodford Reserve Bourbon after this one.

An article in Nature from an MD at Baylor with apparent delusions of adequacy and totalitarian leanings.

A couple cherry-pickings from the article.

Let them sink in.

One campaign implies that it could turn people into monkeys.

This builds on a longer, well-documented history of Russia-sponsored disinformation, presumably to destabilize the United States and other democratic countries. The administration of US President Joe Biden has warned Russian media groups to halt their anti-vaccine aggression

Many far-right extremist groups that spread false information about last year’s US presidential election are doing the same about vaccines.

This is the call for a totalitarian purge, using the full force of the US government, based on baldface lies.

"RUSSIA, RUSSIA, RUSSIA." "FAR RIGHT EXTREMIST GROUPS THAT SPREAD FALSE INFORMATION."

They ALWAYS go back to the same playbook.

= = = = = =

1."Nearly one billion COVID-19 vaccine doses have been delivered in less than six months, but anti-vaccine disinformation and targeted attacks on scientists are undermining progress. These threats must be confronted directly, and the authority and expertise of the health community alone aren’t enough to do this."

2."Even before the pandemic, I had a front-row seat to all of this. I have co-led efforts to develop vaccines in programmes, including a COVID-19 vaccine currently being tested in India."

3."Teams of experts, including me, began meeting regularly online to discuss how best to amplify evidence-based messages, deliver public-service announcements and address concerns around COVID-19 immunization."

4."...when I ask for a more direct way to counter anti-vaccine aggression, I’m told, “that’s not our approach; confrontation gives them a platform and oxygen.” In my opinion, this attitude reflects a time when we had dial-up modems. Today, the anti-vaccine empire has hundreds of websites and perhaps 58 million followers on social media. The bad guys are winning, in part because health agencies either underestimate or deny the reach of anti-science forces, and are ill-equipped to counter it."

5. the US State Department and the UK Foreign Office have described how Russian intelligence organizations seek to discredit Western COVID-19 vaccines. One campaign implies that it could turn people into monkeys. This builds on a longer, well-documented history of Russia-sponsored disinformation, presumably to destabilize the United States and other democratic countries. The administration of US President Joe Biden has warned Russian media groups to halt their anti-vaccine aggression, and announced sanctions tied to disinformation and other behaviour, but we need much more."

6."According to the London-based Center for Countering Digital Hate, these are influential groups, not a spontaneous grass-roots movement. Many far-right extremist groups that spread false information about last year’s US presidential election are doing the same about vaccines."

Troll.

I challenge anyone to find a post I made saying people need to get vaccinated or damning anyone for not getting vaccinated.

My activity regarding the Covid vaccines is a search/desire for accuracy and honesty.
The ONLY people I highly recommend should get vaccinated are 70 years of age plus, with Lung, Cardiac or Diabetic issues. That’s it.

You have said 60 plus year olds. Basically the same thing as I said, are you a troll now?

I’m against forced vaccinations and vaccine I.D.s or passports.
If I’m wrong, I admit I’m wrong about something.

I must have flunked Troll school, because my comments and attitude regarding this matter is not remotely Trollish.
