The Role of Credible Journalism

The Role of Credible Journalism

Reason and democracy should go hand in hand, supporting each other. Certainly, without reason democracy becomes a meaningless lottery.

It is easy for anyone to use the internet to uncover information that shows both reason and unreason at once. The challenge is to work out which is which, and it seems many people would rather be told what to do by ‘experts’ than dig into the conflicting accounts (understandably so, given how dispiriting the world is at the moment).

However, their problem is to decide which ‘experts’ to believe, and on that question, they are on their own, since contemporary MSM will not help.

Random examples from a Sunday half hour surfing:

WHO TO BELIEVE?

Sense?

Nonsense?

CONFIRMING OMICRON

“Confirming that a suspected case is Omicron requires a full genetic analysis, which takes between four and five days. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/health-59460252

A LOT OF IT ABOUT

“Patients with ‘omicron’ are being treated in UK hospitals” https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-10301259/Nadhim-Zahawi-confirms-Omicron-cases-UK-hospitals.html

(How many and what they are being treated for is not explained)

COMMON COLD SYMPTOMS

Cold symptoms come on gradually and can include:

  • a blocked or runny nose
  • a sore throat
  • headaches
  • muscle aches
  • coughs
  • sneezing
  • a raised temperature
  • pressure in your ears and face

Covid’s survival rate is at least 99.5%. https://off-guardian.org/2021/09/22/30-facts-you-need-to-know-your-covid-cribsheet/

OMICRON SYMPTOMS

Scientists say a common symptom reported by people who fall ill with Omicron is a dry cough accompanied by a ‘scratchy throat’. https://www.mirror.co.uk/news/uk-news/first-omicron-symptom-seen-90-25675789

ILLNESS IN VACCINATED

The latest data Public Health Data shows that over the past four months the double / triple jabbed population have accounted for 6 in every 10 Covid-19 cases, 7 in every 10 Covid-19 hospitalisations, and 9 in every 10 Covid-19 Deaths.

HART is awaiting a reply as to why the JCVI continue to recommend vaccination for those children who already have naturally-acquired immunity and for whom there is no possibility of any benefit from the COVID-19 vaccines. https://www.hartgroup.org/jcvi-recommends-2nd-dose-for-children-in-spite-of-saying-no-to-the-first/

Sonia Elijah interviews Dr Peter McCullough, expert cardiologist and epidemiologist, on the abrupt removal by the publisher of his peer reviewed report showing the alarming spike in myocarditis cases connected with Covid jabs, in young males.

BOOSTERS NEEDED

“Mr Zahawi said the vaccine booster programme is now in a 'race against time' against the variant.” https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-10301259/Nadhim-Zahawi-confirms-Omicron-cases-UK-hospitals.html (Zahawi is Education Secretary)

“As of 1 December 2021, for the UK, 139,263 Yellow Cards have been reported for the COVID-19 Pfizer/BioNTech Vaccine, 238,641 have been reported for the COVID-19 Vaccine AstraZeneca, 20,520 for the COVID-19 Vaccine Moderna and 1,307 have been reported where the brand of the vaccine was not specified.” https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/coronavirus-covid-19-vaccine-adverse-reactions/coronavirus-vaccine-summary-of-yellow-card-reporting

WEAR A MASK

Centres for Disease Control

Implementation of concurrent prevention strategies, including vaccination, masking, improving ventilation, testing, quarantine, and isolation, are recommended to slow transmission of SARS-CoV-2 and to protect against severe illness, hospitalization, and death from COVID-19. All persons aged ≥5 years should be vaccinated against COVID-19. https://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/volumes/70/wr/mm7050e1.htm?s_cid=mm7050e1_w

WE HAVE NO IDEA

Translation: 1) Delta didn’t overwhelm the NHS 2) We have absolutely no idea what this variant will do, if anything much https://www.theguardian.com/world/2021/dec/10/omicron-could-overwhelm-nhs-if-virulent-as-delta-neil-ferguson-says 

EVERYONE IS GOING TO DIE

The Omicron variant has the potential to “very substantially overwhelm the NHS” and cause up to 10,000 hospitalisations a day if it is as virulent as Delta, according to a leading scientist who helped shape Britain’s coronavirus lockdown strategy.

Prof Neil Ferguson, a mathematical epidemiologist from Imperial College London, said the UK was already experiencing a “very explosive wave of infection” from the new variant. This could lead to “quite an explosive wave of hospitalisations,” depending on the severity of disease caused by Omicron.

Surely it is possible for MSM journalists to perform this service everyday?

It is proposed that the purpose of credible journalism is to help its readers distinguish sense from nonsense
