KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — There are plenty of places to turn for accurate information about COVID-19. Your physician. Local health departments. The U.S. Centers for Disease Control.
But not, perhaps, your local government’s public comment session.
During a meeting of the St. Louis County Council earlier this month, opponents of a possible mask mandate made so many misleading comments about masks, vaccines and COVID-19 that YouTube removed the video for violating its policies against false claims about the virus.
“I hope no one is making any medical decisions based on what they hear at our public forums,” said County Councilwoman Lisa Clancy, who supports mask wearing and said she believes most of her constituents do too. The video was restored, but Clancy’s worries about the impact of that misinformation remain.
Videos of local government meetings have emerged as the latest vector of COVID-19 misinformation, broadcasting misleading claims about masks and vaccines to millions and creating new challenges for internet platforms trying to balance the potential harm against the need for government openness.
The latest video to go viral features a local physician who made several misleading claims about COVID-19 while addressing the Mount Vernon Community School Corporation in Fortville, Indiana, on Aug. 6. In his 6-minute remarks, Dr. Dan Stock tells the board that masks don’t work, vaccines don’t prevent infection, and state and federal health officials don’t follow the science.
The video has amassed tens of millions of online views, and prompted the Indiana State Department of Health to push back. Stock did not return multiple messages seeking comment.

I thought COLLUSION was bad?
The Voice of the People...must not be heard.
And the biggest spreader of mis-information - The Associated Press!
“Associated Press”!?
I thought it stood for American Presstitutes. Globalist owned American Presstitutes.
Eddie Griffin Think ...”it’s not illegal yet”

WARNING - language
It’s a Chinese bioweapon.
Teachers are already struggling to do their job during a pandemic. But it's worse for those working in states where mask mandates are prohibited.
Some fear students who aren't eligible for vaccines may die. Others worry about having to enforce social distancing. Or they worry about bringing the virus home to family.
State officials in some states, including Texas, Florida, Oklahoma, Missouri, Arizona and Iowa (all full of evil conservatives), have passed laws or used their authority to prevent statewide mask mandates and make mask usage optional.
CNN spoke with teachers from states banning mask mandates to get their perspective. They requested CNN withhold their last names out of fear of retribution.(?!retribution?! Not from the school board!)
Fair and balanced they are not. And they don't care.
“masks don’t work, vaccines don’t prevent infection, and state and federal health officials don’t follow the science.”
All true- prove me wrong?
Blue Face Diapers don’t block viruses. Says so right on teh package. if they did, you wouldn’t need The Jab.
Vaccines = The Jab doesn’t work. That’s why you’ll need a booster every now and again, and STILL have to wear the mask to keep your job. if it did, you wouldn’t need the mask and could go to work unimpeded.
The Science - Shows all of this in EVERY study, every analysis, every survey ever done.
AND the CDC and SS Gauleiter Herr Fauci have said so.
And Puhhhleees don’t start with the “Where’s the lnk for that?” crapola. If you don’t know this yo are choosing not to know, and nothing wil change your mind.
“There are plenty of places to turn for accurate information about COVID-19. Your physician. Local health departments. The U.S. Centers for Disease Control.”
How can the Information be said to be accurate if its coming from the Politicized, Rat controlled C.D.C.
This is the same C.D.C. that banned the access to drugs that could cure the ChiCom virus but they pushed a lethal “vaccine” on to the public.
To Hell with the C.D.C.
Misinformation: (noun). Truths the government wants to suppress.
Up is down, right is wrong, truth is false, welcome to american new speak.
Sure thing David and Heather.
If the CDC is so “trusted,” then why were they just caught the other days making up numbers?
AssPress not doing their job, yet again.
I listened to Dr. Stocks’ comments, and I found them credible and well researched, as opposed to the fear porn being regurgitated by propaganda outlets like AP. These “journalists” refuse to believe that they’re irrelevant, and they think they’re bulls—t is fooling us. Some of us maybe, but it’s a smaller and smaller number.
You mean like:
The vaccines will keep you from getting the virus?
After vaccinations you won’t have any restrictions or masking requirements?
Right now, the CDC and FDA would be the LAST place I would go for accurate information.
Thank the AP for showing again their infinite wisdom and why we should only believe what we see in their press.
Like if you like your doctor you can keep your doctor.
Insurance will cost much less.You can keep your present insurance.
And all the rest.
And the election results.....
And the Russians own Trump.....
Yes, if you read it in the AP you can........
14 days to flatten the curve?
The misinformation network complaining about misinformation. Nope, you just can’t make this stuff up!
Yeah right. When mainstream media are the biggest purveyors of propaganda there is nowhere left to turn.
