Fake News is everywhere these days.
But for whatever reason people still believe it...and it's almost impossible to get people to disbelieve even though it's proven false.

Even President Trump has been taken in by this stuff...
The HCQ fake News is just one example if this. It's continuing promotion is an example of the fallout from this Fake News. HCQ affects bacteria...not viruses and is effective as an aspirin is for the flu. But we still have people here who are trusting in this stuff as if there is a conspiracy to keep it from being known as the sole known cure.

One day during the time period that Obama was President, Syrian hackers gained control over a State Department website to say that the Whitehouse had been bombed and the President was injured. The stock market instantly collapsed until it was removed and fixed... none of the news agencies picked up on it and the market recovered...but it definitely took some puffing to set things straight.

Nowadays video editing is easier than ever. And video trickery is being employed in this delivery of fake news.
Making people appear places they never went saying things they never said.

It's to the point that you can not believe anything you hear and only half of what you see.

How can we know what is true?

Plandemic video
 
sorry i dont do politics on this forum
This is not about politics.
Although this does affect politics at times.

It's about false news stories being inserted into reputable news agencies with accompanying videos.
I've cited two examples that contain politicians but have had drastic results that aren't political in nature. None of this is about political rhetoric.

how do you know the anti-hcq narrative isn't the fake news?

i saw this democrat thank trump for saving her life by mentioning hcq - she was dying from covid 19 until she insisted the doctors give her the zpack-hcq protocol - and now she lives:

that's the thing - people take sides and call good stuff fake

it's really tough trying to sort through what's true and what's false

when it's partisan that makes it even harder

researching and praying are the 2 things i do to decide what's true

listening to christian news sites rather than msm is another thing that helps me know what's going on

big pharma has a lot to gain by producing NEW expensive vaccines - cures - etc rather than allowing the public to use time-proven cheap as dirt cures

msm has a lot to gain by endorsing big pharma

the truth tellers have nothing to gain by going against big pharma and msm - on the contrary they have much to lose

i take all these factors into consideration as i listen to all sides and pray my way through the garbage looking for the truth

You do understand that I'm getting regular updates from the research community on this stuff...my wife works with them.

who are those people?

who are they connected to?

what sources and data do they use?

you know that most of the medical community are connected to big pharma somehow?

you know the who and cdc are under investigation right now?

so this point in time a lot of trusted sources have been found to be in someone's pocket

we all need to take a more critical view of things so as not to be fooled by those who pretend to be working for us and our best interest

There are a bunch of research grants in search of information about this virus.
There is only one that has been given to Vanderbilt to analyze the data concerning one new antiviral drug that can possibly do what we really need. There are two others on HCQ and whether it is effective on covid-19. They don't look promising. It's really not helping.
The information on the new antiviral is being kept quiet...there are good reasons for the secrecy I can't get into at the moment. But it's not that much money.

But also there is a lot of research into many of the effects this virus has on people and exactly which antibody works the best at fighting this virus.

There isn't the collusion or conspiracy going on that you are hinting at. These people aren't angels but they aren't doing what the conspiracy theorist claim.
Besides...there's too much focus on this stuff right now for anything shady going on.

as trump said - there are not many people to choose from

he tries to pick the best available people and when they screw up he fires them

too bad there aren't better quality people available for positions

too much corruption in gov

we need more people of quality and integrity

by the very secrecy you speak of it means that people are doing things unobserved by watchdog agencies and making money at the same time

collusion or conspiracy is overplay - truth is people do things to benefit themselves - simple fact of life

overview and accountability to unconnected authorities is what keeps everything on the straight and narrow - does vanderbilt have this? - if not then they are not above question -

if the president can be questioned/scrutinized so should vanderbilt

there are more eyes on everything trump is doing than on what vanderbilt is doing
 
There are a number of things that can be done by us
Don't limit oneself to one news source, follow multiple news reporting sites.
That will ensure a degree of cross checking especially if at least one source is from for you a hostile political source.

Have at least one pay for news source.
Free roofing sites are scrambling for headlines to get and keep the numbers that get them advertising revenue. That scramble does lead to corners Beng cut in the fact checking stage of investigative journalism.

Be realistic about conspiracy.

Don't believe headines, read the article what as said done etc is often difeentrom salines.

Disbelieve Facebook, Twitter etc etc rumours.

Just because headlines and all news reporting is book and doom it still is not grounds for us to panic.

Oh no...
There's a lot of people watching with a whole lot more power to ensure things are above board.
The secrecy is about making sure that no one controls the ingredients needed to make this antiviral except for those who are willing to share.

There was a huge issue with Tamiflu over this. The base molecule needed was only found in Star Anise...and China owned them all with a 15 year window needed to grow more to maturity enough to produce the spice necessary for anyone else to have any.

Would you like to wait for 15 years before you can have a cure?
And even then, have one that isn't pharmaceutically pure or effective after waiting 15 years made by the PRC in factories run by prison labor and children...

That's why there is the secrecy.

They want you to focus on HCQ and other things while the real cures are in the final stages of development. It's not for the reasons of wealth gaining...it's about ensuring your welfare and access to the needed drugs.

ok - thanks for explaining - good stuff - God bless you

Honestly ,if it was that much of a problem the vote for trump wouldn't make any difference .

He can't do a thing .that's my point
 
not sure what you mean

can you give more details/clarification?

In short,people both left and right of which I'm,neither ,look,to their man to save America or them when its you ,who only can improve your life.


By borrowing trillions trump ,yes he might not have agreed with it all bit he signed it ,further set a precedent to the point of another nail coffin our money system .honesykt most are blowing the stimulus ,we are paying more not to work ..

Vote trump to avoid socialism and yet this is a classic leftist bail out .

Yea its a hard place but ,well see bankruptcy and why I say as Ramsey does about America lives behind a its means .

Even the millionaires here borrow money to finish their mcmansions of which they seldom live in but use as status or tax break
