I'm on Facebook and there were several conspiracy theories and misinformation on the pandemic I COMPLETELY understand them flagging or talking down. That's my take. Sounds like a full time job!

Or at least, as it can be given the circumstances. One cannot control everything nor should they try. Enough just to exercise control of those things we can. Know this may come off as non-fatalistic, but most often, and on an almost daily basis there is news that can be taken as positive. Let the alarmist have their day. A new day is coming, and while not perfect, it will surely be better than the recent past. Hope this will suit your perception of criticism. So, only the very best to you and yours Maynard. Thanks!

Marvel Posted December 28, 2020 Share Posted December 28, 2020 We are getting cards that will allow all of our employees to get vaccinated... starting today. Our county actually had a location on the weekend that would allow anyone to come and get the shots, no allocation card required. We will only get about 70 cards a week, but we have 645 active employees. That will take a while for all of the staff to be vaccinated, but you have to start somewhere.

Bosco-d-gama Posted December 29, 2020 Share Posted December 29, 2020 So, what was important for the public to understand about how covid19 would impact their country and their personal lives? IMHO it was/is the comprehension of how lethal the disease is. How many people are dying because covid19 is here this year as opposed to prior years? This way they could respond appropriately. Some could argue that giving the public too much information is not necessary as long as you can demand/require their obedience to the proper public health guidelines. China avers that because of their authoritarian system that the public needs to know nothing. And that may indeed work for their citizens but certainly not for the rest of the world who truly does need to know the complete scenario to properly respond. In this regard China did not care or, perhaps, did not want the west to properly intervene in time to avert a serious pandemic. In between we have Russia that chose to use information control not so much to actually care for their populace but to make the government appear to be more successful in managing the disease. In America we had covid19 become politicized and the accurate data deployed in near malicious fashion to bolster vote counts. That resulted in more chaos than managed control/containment. Interesting to witness history in the making. https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-55474028 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OO1 Posted December 29, 2020 Share Posted December 29, 2020 China and even India are closer to 3 billion , it is mind boggling how many resources are needed to tackle covid 19 in such an overpopulated area of the planet - the death rates should have been in the millions , not the hundreds of thousands - and the faster they vaccinate the combined populations of 3 billion , the better we will be in the end - until the entire planet is vaccinated , including the poorer countries -we are not out of the woods yet , far from it - Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't see scientific information being censored in the Media and NOTHING that compares to China. It's simple confusion about what censorship actually is. The first amendment lays it out. Individuals, and corporations, are all allowed to say what they want (within the defined limits of case law). Censorship only comes from the government (by law). Most don't understand this. So, for those so inclined to believe, where is this "exponential" direction of censorship evidence can you put down on the table? There has been some lately, I will agree. It is most obvious in the political meddling of what the CDC has been allowed to publish. Actual censorship comes from the government, by definition, so if one sees an exponential direction of censorship, then you know where to look. The closing line is one of my brother's favorite lines...."on whose watch..."lol. Rtards are often amusing. On whose watch indeed. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(I say, I say, I say that's a joke son). Stories that don't get reported due to media bias is the same thing as censorship. It's a slippery slope.
