Anti-vaxxers making ‘at least $2.5m’ a year from publishing on Substack (Chelsea Klintoon wets herself)
The Guardian ^ | 1-27-22 | unattributed

Posted on 01/30/2022 7:05:57 PM PST by dynachrome

Research by the Center for Countering Digital Hate, a campaign group, showed that Mercola’s newsletters made a minimum of $1m a year from charging subscribers an annual fee of $50, with Berenson making at least $1.2m from charging people $60. Three other vaccine sceptic newsletters, from tech entrepreneur Steven Kirsch, virologist Robert Malone and anonymous writer Eugyppius, generate about $300,000 between them.

Imran Ahmed, chief executive of CCDH, said companies like Substack were under “no obligation” to amplify vaccine scepticism and make money from it. “They could just say no. This isn’t about freedom; this is about profiting from lies … Substack should immediately stop profiting from medical misinformation that can seriously harm readers.”

They do seem Q obsessed, don’t they?

Hmmm.....must be one of the few last straws they grasp at.

You all crack me up.

It’s funny Allegra no one else has an issue with my comment except you. How many people on FR said they would freely die before taking the shot? Or “if I die I die it’s my choice”
I have read this a thousand times on FR or variations of it. If these people don’t care if they die why should I?
It’s your choice not to take the shot. If you die of covid and are not vaccinated I will not shed a tear.

Here is what is really nasty. My comment were kindergarten compared to this. When he/she posted it I and one other poster called him or her out. No one else batted an eye.

Continue your 7th grade shenanigans.


And if you actually die from Covid, you deserved it for being weak.

Where did I wish death on you?

I said if you die of covid I would not shed a tear because it’s your choice not to be vaccinated

Hey now…don’t forget your little cherry on top about how you don’t care who dies from Covid:

“All you anti vaxxers dying off strengthens the social securtity system for me and my wife.”

Kind of adds a little kick to it, doesn’t it?

As for the other tacky comment you referenced, I didn’t call it out because I did not see it. Duh. Why not post a link so we can see the context in which it was said? 🤔

You have posted my comment on 4-5 various threads now and have you noticed other than metmom who hates me not a single person attacked me over it?

Do you know why?

Because everyone knows what I was saying and agrees with it. My body my choice. If I die I die. I will die before I take the shot.

People understood what I was saying because it’s the ultimate form of freedom. I will go out on my own terms. Do not feel sorry for me. I am an adult making my own decisions.

I am not guided by what other people do. That’s sheep behavior.

Because everyone knows what I was saying and agrees with it.

”Everyone.” Why is it the lefty bootlickers on here tend to reference non-existent people who “agree” with them? I’ve seen that before, especially with vax-pushers. Sorry…not buying it.

My body my choice. If I die I die. I will die before I take the shot.

I don’t know who these “people” are, (nor do I care) but this little diatribe doesn’t really seem to fit your narrative. Are you OK?

Your “dying off” comment was tacky, bordering on ghoulish. That’s my opinion and I’m sticking to it. I don’t care if “everyone” agrees with you. 😏

Sorry, Baggie. Mean girls already happened. Check out the posts between Jane Long and metmom and a few others on this thread. They read like something straight out of 7th grade unpopular meangirls. Sad and pathetic, really.

I'm doing a study on old ladies and the fantasy worlds they create for themselves in what's left of their minds.

You will be patient zero.

No substance, no reasoned argument — because you haven’t got any.

Don't you find it ironic that the only contributions you make an any covid/vax thread contain no substance or reasoned argument and are just your lame psychobabble profiles of your perceived enemies?

I do.

Google 'projecting'.

By the way, you seem to have me confused with setter — he’s the one y’all accused of working in a call center earlier on the thread.

What, you think he's the only one?

We know you as 'the mother of all shills', in case you forgot.

(See, we can play, too, although it’s childish and distasteful.)

Where are you getting this 'we'? No, pumpkin. The government sheep herd is thinning as evidence floods out about the covid/vax hoax despite the media lockdown which you seem to appreciate for some odd reason.

You vaxtards are dropping like flies as you realize how gullible you have been to believe the lies. Most of you slink away out of embarrassment or attempt to blend back into the body of real people. But some of you are just too smart for the room and will not let your superiority complex go that easily. You're going down with the ship.

You are fringe and extreme and bitter clingers holding on and hoping Fauci can pull a rabbit out of his hat at the buzzer to save your reputation, your reputation being more important to you than the truth.

It's a function of low self-esteem, really.

First, I apologize for pinging you in error. When I started that post, I had it in mind the post in question (the one I linked to) had been directed at you, but when I went back to check, it was actually to setter. Then I forgot to change Allegra to setter in the ping box.

Have a gander at this one to me last night:


Please get another “booster” ASAP so you can have a much-deserved heart attack and die

https://freerepublic.com/focus/chat/4033326/posts?page=37#37


And I’ve seen plenty more like it wishing death on fellow FReepers and “mutant mudbloods” — all from *your*side.

I started out being polite and kind and infinitely patient with the conspiracy theorists and rabid antivaxxers. All I got back was name calling and crazy accusations from the little bully squads. Because that’s all they’ve got. And again, there is no reasoning with cultists and conspiracy theorists. So now, when I get tired of seeing FR awash with crazy conspiracy nonsense and nastiness and whatnot, I dish back.

I, too, have had concerns about the vaccines. I’m not vaccinated myself. Just the issue of quality control alone concerned me in the very beginning. Could they really do adequate QC while pumping out such incredible quantities? Of a brand-new vaccine? I know they do batch checks on both ends, and sometimes the middle too, but ... could the batch checkers keep up, I wondered. I have other concerns, as well.

But it seems there’s no reasonable discussion here anymore, and reasoned debate is a thing of the past. It’s all crazy nonsense from the likes of The Daily Expose and Steve Kirsch and various nutty sites posted over and over. The vaccines supposedly contain nano octopodes, 99% graphene oxide, tiny razor blades, squiggly wormlike parasites, etc., will make you magnetic, and one day Bill Gates will whip out his secret code and control all the “mutant mudbloods” via 5G. It’s ludicrous. Yet if you don’t buy into their madness, you’re a $hot $hill and a Fauxi Follower, according to your side.

Speaking of sides, it’s sad that FR has come to this. The frothing-at-the-mouth antivaxxer brigade has chosen to polarize the issue (classic Alinsky, but they constantly accuse us “normies” of Alinsky tactics — hmm). So now, we have “sides”. Sorry, I prefer to think for myself and draw my own conclusions rather than let some “side” do those things for me.

I have yet to see anyone here post in favor of vaccine mandates. Perhaps someone has, but I missed it. It seems quite obvious we are all united against mandates and for personal freedom to make our own healthcare choices. Personally, I am against lockdowns and all the rest, too. I think it’s nuts to require children to wear masks — I could go on and on.

You guys can call me a $hot $hill all you like (although I double dog dare you to find a single post of mine where I have urged or even hinted anyone should get the vaccine). You can call me a Fauci lover (although you can find posts of mine with links to damning evidence Covid came from that shamefully leaky lab in Wuhan and I have no kind words for Fauci at all). I just let it roll right off, considering the source and how unhinged such accusations are.

But I find it really sad your side has striven so hard to polarize the issue and divided us this way. There is so much we agree on. We do differ about the nutty conspiracy theories. All the nano octopodes and tiny razor blades and magnetic sea monkeys nonsense hurts the conservative anti-mandate pro-freedom cause in our eyes, and just makes us look like kooks.

Perhaps now that Omicron is winding down and it’s becoming clear that Covid has entered its trajectory toward milder strains, we can all get back to normal and leave the vaccines and masks and whatnot behind, and all the attendant bickering. It’s really the only sane course.

But we *do* still need to deal with important issues leftover from Covid, and do a “lessons learned” exercise to correct them. Like mail-in voting and election fraud, like gain-of-function research, such research being carried out in substandard leaky labs, like sharing such potentially dangerous technologies with the Chinese, like being dependent on China for essential goods such as PPE and pharmaceuticals. Again, I could go on and on.

But no, we’re squabbling over crazy conspiracy theories, nearly all them emanating from the Special Q Threads and sites like The Daily Expose and Steve Kirsch’s SubStack.

That’s what this thread is about. The grifter sites churning out all this laughable nonsense. If your side can carry on about “Big Pharma” and $hot $hills, our side is free point out these conspiracy grifters are raking in cash, too. Do Big Pharma $ dwarf what these little grifters are taking in? Of course. But bear in mind the grifters get to keep it all and have very few expenses, very few employees, and have to answer to no one, not even their stockholders, as they have none. And they love the smell of money just as much as the big boys of Big Pharma.

Here is a 'chicken or the egg' dilemma for you, noob shill. Is the first thing to go in the mutant mudblood their ability to reason, or were they bereft of that ability in to begin with, which caused them to take the vax and become mutant mudbloods?

That one should get a big thinker such as yourself many hours of contemplation time.

You still can't puzzle out that all your support for the vax justifies the mandates and lockdowns and all the rest for the derps. The way to stop it is to refuse to comply and behave EXACTLY like us horrible 'anti-vaxers' are behaving, warts and all. But noooooooo, you people and your implied support for the covid/vax hoax (and yes, Fauci) enable it all. That is called logic, my little petunia.

So now, when I get tired of seeing FR awash with crazy conspiracy nonsense and nastiness and whatnot, I dish back.

You poor dear. And I bet you think your dishes are all shiny and new. I'm here to tell you, as an expert in the field, they are broken and cracked. Your burns are tired and cliche and without effect. As if a very old senile woman were to play the dozens with Don Rickles.

No, it's better if you stick to your 'I'm smarter than everybody' farce and remain in school marm lecture mode. Leave the 'dishing' to the professionals.

It’s all crazy nonsense from the likes of The Daily Expose and Steve Kirsch.

It's a shame that you know-it-alls don't understand that the media is corrupted, infilatrated, and on lockdown by the derps and that places like The Expose and Kersch are just two of the VERY few outlets for truth in reporting (along with FreeRepublic.com). Which again makes you part of the problem and in league with the enemy. You do need to pull your head out on that one.

Speaking of sides, it’s sad that FR has come to this. The frothing-at-the-mouth antivaxxer brigade has chosen to polarize the issue.

Again, your mudblood mind just can't figure it out. As I recall, we normals and smarts were perfectly fine letting you retards get all the vax you wanted, until you started calling us domestic enemies and terrorists for being 'vaccine hesitant'. And then you made us 'others' and some spoke of putting us in camps, even. And then you came for our kids.

And you say WE seek to divide and polarize? See, this is why I can have no respect for you or any vaxtard that says the things you do. You are lost in a world of your own creation and see things only your way, and that is the wrong way.

All your whining is just you spazzing out, which is probly just another symptom of your mudblood species.
