The YouTubers who blew the whistle on an anti-vax plot

A mysterious marketing agency secretly offered to pay social media stars to spread disinformation about Covid-19 vaccines. Their plan failed when the influencers went public about the attempt to recruit them.

"It started with an email" says Mirko Drotschmann, a German YouTuber and journalist.

Mirko normally ignores offers from brands asking him to advertise their products to his more than 1.5 million subscribers. But the sponsorship offer he received in May this year was unlike any other.

You have not been paying attention. It is mind numbing just how many mindless drones hang on every word these people spew. There is a very distinct reason the Kardashians are billionaires, and the youngest became a billionaire as teenager. It’s absurdly incredible.

In stilted English, the brief instructed them to “Act like you have the passion and interest in this topic. It told them not to mention the video had a sponsor - and instead pretend they were spontaneously giving advice out of concern for their viewers.
Social media platforms have rules that ban not disclosing that content is sponsored. In France and Germany it’s also illegal.”

LOL, yes, Boris and Natasha, in broken english told them to pretend they were spontaneous and to not tel anyone they were being paid. This is exactly how Russian clandestine services work.

So transparent, this is straight out of Langley or GCHQ, lol.

"In the US 97% of those hospitalized haven't been vaccinated at all. "

Is that true? Maybe it is, and maybre it ain't. The problem is -- and the reason I haven't gotten the jab -- is that everyone we hear from on the subject has an agenda, and is likely full of $hit. So, in not getting the jab, I don't know if I'm being prudent or stupid. And so I go with my gut, which tells me "no jab".

This is a conspiracy theory. They allege that conspiracy theorists are paying influencers to push their messaging.

So where does the money come from?

If it is like Russiagate, the FBI and CIA and planting more bullstalin in the press so they can continue their calls for “investigations” to look into the allegations (they planted).

Sadly there are are thousands of people making money on Instagram and other online sites, hawking ever kind of product. I don’t follow the kardasians but that’s how they got rich.

Many online sites sell your email address to marketers, or the so called influencers direct sell to their followers. Everything from cosmetics to semi trailer tie down straps.

Some people are sheep !

Did you miss the part about the individual participants getting paid?

Also, since we know the vaccine companies are competing with one another, with their central government approval at least some of the time, it's no wonder AstraZeneca got caught.

Vaccine, ironically, is the dis-information.

This is not a vaccine. The jab using mRNA delivers mRNA in a nano lipid or fat envelope to a cell. It’s a medical device designed to stimulate a cell into becoming a pathogen creator by creating the known to be harmful spike protein.

Vaccine is a defined term in law and under CDC and FDA standards. A vaccine has to stimulate an immunity in the person receiving it. And it must also disrupt transmission. That’s not what this is. Even the drug manufacturers admit the jab or its mRNA does not stop transmission.

The jab is a treatment, but if it’s discussed as a treatment it would not get the sympathetic ear of public health officials because people would ask what other treatments there are. And alternative treatments would hamper FDA’s ability to issue emergency approval of the jabs as a vaccine.

Defining the narrative with the term vaccine is a sucker punch to open and free discourse. “Vaccine” throws the discussion into one of pro/con vaccine. The jab is a mechanical device in the form of a very small packet of technology inserted intoe the human system to activate the cell to become a pathogenetic spike protein manufacturing site.

No basis exists to stipulate this is a vaccine. Simply put, this is a chemical pathogen device meant to unleash chemical pathogen production within a cell. It’s a medical device, not a drug. The jab is not a living or biologic system, but rather a physical technology that just happens to come in the size of a molecular package.

(What does anyone have to monetarily gain by discrediting vaccinations?)

Outside agitators like to stir up political disagreements and have us at each other’s throats, it works for these other countries best interest. Also less people get vaxxed it hurts our stockmarket/economy when covid numbers go up

Also a more nuts idea- the people being targeted by and believing the antivac message are inner city black people and rural poor white people, those deemed “undesirables” to some groups. Population control etc

There is an agenda by the government. Most people can sniff it out.

The government “officials” are demanding that everyone get the vaccine even though they will tell you straight out that it will not prevent you from getting COVID.

They say that the point of taking the vaccine is just in case you do get the COVID, it won’t be as bad otherwise.

Excuse me, but that is NOT A GOOD ENOUGH REASON to get the vaccine, damn it, especially one that has not been thoroughly tested.

If I take a vaccine, I fully expect to be inoculated from the virus. For example, when we got the smallpox vaccine, it wasn’t just so it wouldn’t be so bad later on if you did get smallpox. It was a fully preventive medicine.

WHAT IS THE REAL REASON THE GOVERNMENT IS PUSHING THIS COVID VACCINE? I have my suspicions why their doing it, and it has NOTHING to do with COVID. See my tag line.

Not Political at all.


Fox fired Trish Regan for saying the Democrats were politicizing the virus

Followers?

What, are they Jim Jones or some Cult freak to have FOLLOWERS?

What self respecting person would call themselves a FOLLOWER of another person?

I think claiming to be someone's FOLLOWER is like proclaiming yourself
to be stupid or substandard or in some way defective or retarded.

Screw that.

Prove it. And put up your source for you fake claim.

Really? It's been one of the most widely quoted statistics for the last week.

"On July 16, 2021, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Director Dr. Rochelle Walensky revealed that 99.5% of recent U.S. deaths from COVID-19 were of unvaccinated people. “Those deaths were preventable with a simple, safe shot,” she said. In Early July, Fauci said that 99.2% of people who died recently were unvaccinated. In the state of Maryland, every patient who died from COVID-19 in June was unvaccinated.

In her July 16 statement, Walensky also said that 97% of current COVID-19 hospitalizations are of unvaccinated people. An earlier analysis done by The Associated Press found that 98.9% of all hospitalized COVID-19 patients in May were unvaccinated. The director of the Los Angeles County Department of Health Services recently stated that all new hospitalized COVID-19 patients in Los Angeles were unvaccinated.

I'm kind of surprised you haven't heard it.

Or are you now going to say the CDC is part of the conspiracy?

Not 1.5 million subs.

750 K.

Pretty good, but not 1.5 million.

Also the title is misleading.

“”An influencer marketing agency called Fazze offered to pay him to promote what it said was leaked information that suggested the death rate among people who had the Pfizer vaccine was almost three times that of the AstraZeneca jab.””

This looks like and Astrazeneca vs. Pfizer con, not vax vs. anti-vax.
