Will Elite Trader please take a stand against dangerous anti-vaxxer bullshit?

[Magna]

Let me get this straight -- You somehow believe the misinformation sourced from the top dozen anti-vax Covid purveyors of misinformation and constantly posted in your forums bears equal weight to information from respected information sources. Likewise you believe that information sourced from Rumble, Bitchute, dubious blogs, and Covid-denier Twitter accounts should bear equal weight to mainstream sources when reporting on Covid.

At this point -- this is not a debate about the quality of information between sources. It is only in the minds of Covid-denier promoters that "respected mainstream sources are providing frequent and persistent misinformation". An assertion that simply is not true.

Covid misinformation is killing tens of thousands of people across the globe. Either you want your forums to promote these deaths via misinformation or you put the brakes on its continually posting.

Your post reminds me of Cathie Newman's famous interview with Jordan Peterson where she keeps imposing her worldview on everything he says, and keeps falsely telling him what he "really" said or meant. In short, no I'm not saying those things you just posted, but I do want to hear all views because so-called respected mainstream sources have been dangerously wrong so many times it's frightening. Regardless, best that you follow up on your initial claim and do what Baron suggested by posting what you see as the Covid misinformation at ET.

If you in any measure believe that well-known purveyors of Covid misinformation are in any way equivalent of respected mainstream sources and that "so-called respected mainstream sources have been dangerously wrong so many times it's frightening" --- then this is an exercise in futility.

Covid misinformation sources are deliberately trying to sow anti-vax and Covid-denier information -- it is very intentional.

Respected mainstream media sources are trying to get the information right; there may be times when they are wrong & they need to issue a retraction, or the science evolves & they need to update information, or the public information experts are quoted incompletely. But the intent of mainstream sources are not to spread completely false medical information. Different mainstream sources may have their biases but they generally don't promote "science" that has no facts behind it.

It's one thing to have a debate on ET over the political response to the Covid pandemic -- it's another to see continual absurd Covid misinformation pushed for two years.

You have managed to literally get people from left and right, even some people I have on ignore(also from both sides) to agree that you are the biggest liar in the forum. Which is the ultimate proof you are purely and simply full of shit.

Now that your endless stream of bullshit has finally reached a stage where it is rejected by everyone, you try to get the managers of the site to realize your dream of censorship.

Think about that for a second(I know you won't).

You are pathetic.

Don't private message them. Post them here.

Baron -- I have provided a thread in the Politics forum which provides examples of Covid misinformation on ET.

https://www.elitetrader.com/et/threads/examples-of-covid-misinformation-on-et.365181/

An endless debate about Covid misinformation doesn't really belong on the Feedback thread -- so the information was placed in Politics.

If the COVID misinformation thread is not political in nature, then it should have been placed in the chit-chat section.

I might agree with that if the thread encompassed Covid misinformation from across ET. But the entire thread outlines Covid misinformation found in the Politics forum.

Indeed.I have spent the last day pointing out of his non stop lying and making shit up and posting it as facts.

What is the fake Covid misinformation you are referring to?

So what you're saying is ...

that ...

you want him to cite his sources.

LMAO!

I regularly and consistently cite my sources regarding Covid misinformation. Cite an example where I have not.

And yeah... we have all seen your nonsense where you disagree about my perspectives on cancel culture, defund the police, and kneeling first amendment situations and immediately revert to calling me a liar. Show us a situation where I have not cited my sources regarding Covid misinformation - which is what is being discussed here.

This wouldn't be the thread/forum for that. But you knew that already.
