    It’s always about vetting the source. YouTube can be a source of news, just like articles online can be a source of news. But you have to ask yourself if the author and/or publisher is credible.

    That’s why I hate every single little “infographic map” that gets posted on repeat. There’s often no traceable source at all. And people just accept it as fact because it aligns with their world view.

      YouTube has this nifty little section called a description that can help with vetting since people can leave links to their sources there.

      You won’t see that on the vast majority of social media or tiktok. The majority of articles don’t even offer this.

    I just saw the thumbnail, and it cutoff a ton of the text. I was royally confused for a hot minute before I realized I had to click on the image to see the whole thing.

    Good one OP. You got me.

    Is this a picture of Trump’s doctor who wrote the note in 2016 saying “he’s the healthiest person ever to run for president”? I remember him looking a little like this.

    Which number Covid booster are you up to now? You should be up to about number 14 by now if you’ve kept up with recommendations. If you’re still referring to Ivermectin as “horse paste”, you’re just as smooth-brained as the Q-Anon MAGA r-tards.

    in what might be a coincidence, he looks like french doc who promoted then untested hydroxychloroquine for covid (now we know it doesn’t and couldn’t work)

      Don’t know if you’re joking but that is Didier Raoult (the french doctor you’re talking about).

        True story about Raoult: he’s been promoting HCQ since the 90s as a cure for everything and every time the trials have failed. When he jumped on the COVID bandwagon, the paper was submitted, reviewed and published in 24 hours. I known this clown since the HIV claims in the 90s.

        Despite this, none of the press looked into this guy’s background because the agenda was to provide a quick fix to the Trump government’s incompetetant dealing with a new pandemic, despite having a playbook handed to them by Obama.
