People felt strongly enough to write it would be my best guess.
I'm intrigued how it was discredited though. |
Who wrote it? Got some names? I mean, we can all make guesses.
I heard that it turned out that a lot of the signatories weren't medical professionals as they claimed; no idea of the facts though. Seems like another storm in a tea cup to me though. Joe Rogan and anyone else has every right to say what they like if they're not actively and explicitly inciting violence. And Joe seems to me to be a pussycat at heart, certainly more liberal then his detractors. ____________________ Chickenystripgeezer's Biking Life (Latest update 19/10/18) Belgium, France, Italy, Austria tour 2016 Picos de Europa, Pyrenees and French Alps tour 2017 Scotland Trip 1, now with BONUS FEATURE edit, 5/10/19, on page 2 Scotland Trip 2 Luxembourg, Black Forest, Switzerland, Vosges Trip 2017

It's an open letter - I'll link it for you.
They didn't claim to be medical doctors or even medical professionals as far as I can see. Here's the relevant paragraph:
"We are a coalition of scientists, medical professionals, professors, and science communicators spanning a wide range of fields such as microbiology, immunology, epidemiology, and neuroscience and we are calling on Spotify to take action against the mass-misinformation events which continue to occur on its platform. With an estimated 11 million listeners per episode, JRE is the world’s largest podcast and has tremendous influence. Though Spotify has a responsibility to mitigate the spread of misinformation on its platform, the company presently has no misinformation policy."
The full text including signatories is here:
https://spotifyopenletter.wordpress.com/2022/01/10/an-open-letter-to-spotify/
So if that was the basis for discrediting then the discrediting is discredited in turn. |

You missed out the part about some of the 270 being vets or dentists. |

270 almost random people write a letter. Big whoop, perfectly entitled to do so, impact zero. However as a tool for the MSM to try and cleave some viewers from Joe Rogan it swiftly transformed into "Almost 300 doctors..."

So how many people here have been campaigning against dis/misinformation from the media, for how long? What about that put out by the tabloids over decades? What about politicians? As far as I'm aware, no laws have been broken. If you're going to actively try to prevent such things, you could keep armies of people busy forever. Good luck. Let anyone say what they want, as long as, again, they're not actively inciting violence. If someone is dumb enough to go to an entertainment podcaster to get medical info and then act upon it, their problem. But as far as I've seen, Rogan is always the first to tell you he's no expert in these things. I haven't been prompted into taking Ivermectin, though I know he does. Am I special in being able to make my own decisions then?
He'll also tell you that being overweight is a bad idea for your health. Going to argue with that? Or that it's a good idea to make sure you get the right balance of nutrition? Or that it's a good idea to keep fit?
Can we ban food manufacturers who sell unhealthy products? Manufacturers that build motor vehicles for road use that can go way over the speed limits? Ridiculous. ____________________ Chickenystripgeezer's Biking Life (Latest update 19/10/18) Belgium, France, Italy, Austria tour 2016 Picos de Europa, Pyrenees and French Alps tour 2017 Scotland Trip 1, now with BONUS FEATURE edit, 5/10/19, on page 2 Scotland Trip 2 Luxembourg, Black Forest, Switzerland, Vosges Trip 2017

These wrestling types seem pretty cool. They're relaxed, and serious about exercise and health. For all that cigar smoking and whiskey drinking, I think he's more into training as his thing in life. Mentally and physically, that's probably what occupies his time. The UFO nonsense and whatever is just business. That's my theory. Anyway, my point is, if he says to people, look after your health, don't be overweight, keep fairly fit (nothing crazy - just able to run, do pullups and whatnot) then he's well within his realm of expertise. These types of guys often stay abreast of the latest medical research into sports science and nutrition, and they know a surprising amount. There's a British MMA coach who has no formal education but his notebooks are full of obscure stuff about muscle composition and nerves - the guy's been obsessed with this stuff for about 50 years. He could have legitimacy as well, just like any academic scientist or medical doctor, when talking about athletic performance.
But at the time of a public health crisis where there were challenges with distrust and public perceptions, and managing the spread of infectious disease, the guy came out swinging and he came out on top. He's got an audience in the millions. Bigger than CNN, apparently. But he's just there to entertain and reassure people in a confusing and increasingly complex world. Of course people are going to look up to him and not dweeb scientists. He's a winner - no doubt about it. But he doesn't know jack about viruses, so he should have had the decency to STFU and not Tweet about everything. |

Ivermectin has been prescribed used in humans for decades, with millions of doses administered..
The usual morons have blindly fallen for the Pfizer fed hatchet job propaganda, without bothering to check.
If you ask anyone not on the Pfizer payrol, there are incredible similarities between £80 a packet Pfizermectin and Pennies per packet, manufactured by anyone, as it’s no longer under licence, Ivermectin.
It’s like Pfizer telling people Paracetomol is a horse dewormer, asking the government to ban its use for treating mild pain relief, then rehashing it as Pfizercetamol, the selling it to Sunak PLC for £80 a packet.
The muppets like the ugly dwarf who will dismiss this with Pfizer propaganda, deserve all they get in life, for not seeing through the large pharma money making scams.
You think any MP’s have Pfizer shares? I bet Sunak has a few million by now. |
