Hear it in their own words... Purveyors of COVID misinformation don't really care how many people they kill. An anti-vax doctor who's one of the biggest spreaders of COVID-19 disinformation says he doesn't lose sleep if his remarks cause death https://www.businessinsider.com/pan...ecord-304-million-romance-scam-losses-2021-10 The Center for Countering Digital Hate has named Dr. Rashid Buttar as one of its "Disinformation Dozen." According to CCD, the group of 12 anti-vaxxers is responsible for almost two-thirds of COVID-19 disinformation. Buttar, a licensed physician, told CNN: "If I'm wrong so be it," when asked if his claims could cause death. A physician spreading conspiracies theories and unsubstantiated medical claims about COVID-19 said, "If I'm wrong, so be it," during an interview with CNN on Tuesday. Dr. Rashid Buttar is a member of the "Disinformation Dozen," a group of anti-vaxxers responsible for almost two-thirds of COVID-19 misinformation, according to a 2021 report by the nonprofit Center for Countering Digital Hate. During an interview with CNN'S Drew Griffin, he repeated countless unfounded claims about COVID-19 vaccines. Without any evidence, Buttar, who is licensed to practice in North Carolina, falsely said the COVID-19 vaccine killed more people than COVID-19 and is a means for mass genocide. He's been using his Twitter, Telegram, and website to urge people not to get vaccinated. Griffin told Buttar — who at one point had 1.2 million followers before many of his social media accounts were suspended for spreading disinformation — that he had an "outsized influence" on people in terms of medical advice, to which Buttar agreed. Buttar said he was "more than confident" in his ability to "look at the data." He did not specify to which data he was referring. "If I'm wrong so be it, because I have to look at myself in the mirror every night when I go to bed and every morning when I get up, and I don't lose any sleep," Buttar said. Countless studies have found that COVID-19 vaccines are extremely effective at preventing severe illness, hospitalization, and death. A study of 23 million people by the French government-backed scientific organization Epi-Phare released last week found that five months after the jab, vaccines were over 90% effective at reducing severe illness in people who are 50 and older. According to data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, COVID-19 deaths in the US have surpassed 726,000. The vast majority of recent deaths have been among the unvaccinated. In September the CDC found that unvaccinated people were 11 times more likely to die of COVID-19 than people who got their shots. Last week, The Kaiser Family Foundation and the Peterson Center on Healthcare, two leading nonprofits, found vaccines could have prevented as many as90,000 COVID-19 deaths in the US between June and September. Buttar, the North Carolina Medical Board, Twitter, Telegram did not respond to Insider's request for comment at the time of publication.
Let's hear more of the unhinged nonsense from this idiot, Rashid Buttar. At least the CNN host called him out. 'You're crazy': CNN reporter tells off doctor to his face after he says vaccines will result in 'genocide' https://www.rawstory.com/anti-vax-doctors-2655325799/ CNN's Drew Griffin on Tuesday conducted an interview with anti-vaccine Dr. Rashid Buttar in which the doctor claimed that COVID-19 vaccines would result in a "genocide" worse than anything Nazi dictator Adolf Hitler did during World War II. During the interview, Griffin confronted Buttar for his past comparisons between Hitler and Dr. Anthony Fauci, the nation's leading expert in infectious diseases. "You think Dr. Fauci is involved in some kind of plot to kill millions of people?" Griffin asked. "I just want to make sure I understand this." "Again, Drew, I'm a reasonable person," Buttar replied. "I said it could be this, but I can tell you that Dr. Fauci is not an innocent bystander. He is very well aware of what he is doing." Later in the interview, Buttar claimed that the majority of deaths from the delta variant of the novel coronavirus were caused by "vaccine injury," despite the fact that the vast majority of deaths came from the unvaccinated. "I don't want to be part of this mass genocide that I see happening," Buttar told him. "And I think that what's going on right now will be remembered as a worst time in history compared to... World War II." "I just want to be straight with you," said Griffin. "I think you're crazy." (Article has video)
I've got a great idea! Let's run all vaccine and King Flu info by GXB and WXB first so they can determine if accurate prior to posting. I believe that will make sure that only facts get out there.
Buy1Sell2, Please keep your Covid / Vaccine misinformation stupidity to yourself. https://www.elitetrader.com/et/thre...-cure-compilation.359924/page-24#post-5424815 Almost all of my Covid / Vaccine data are supported with direct links to the sources, screenshots of the data at the source, and not some tweet by some anonymous dickhead that acts like he/she never finish the 6th grade... More importantly, I've never had any of my threads deleted by ET management unlike you here in the Political section. Seriously, we all know how difficult it is to have a thread or messages deleted from the Political section by ET management. wrbtrader
Poor old @Buy1Sell2 he said that so many times, it it wasn't for his autistic spectrum deal he would feel pretty foolish.
Now wait for him to huff and puff about it was herd immunity for the initial strain showing he knows nothing about how this virus works, acquired immunity to it and herd immunity. Its coming. For some reason this show comes to mind a lot when I read his 'postings'.
Let us go back to the beginning. The virus is natural, came from Bat soup. Don't close the borders, let all the flights in. You're just a white nationalist. Come to Chinatown, have some lunch, it's perfectly safe. Ride the subways, it's perfectly safe. No need for a mask, it's perfectly safe. How many people died as a result of these leftist misinformation campaigns? Lets continue. Don't trust any vaccine developed during Trump administration. Don't take any vaccine that was developed while Trump was president, it's not safe. How many people did that kill, and is still killing? Let's continue. Now that we've deemed the vaccine is safe, DO NOT consider any other treatments, or preventative measures. How many people has that killed and is still killing? This doesn't even address the continues moving of the goalposts with flattening the curve and lockdowns. So yes, we can agree there has been a never ending campaign of misinformation and outright lies, most of it coming from the left as per usual. Get back with me when you figure out how many people have died as a result of leftist misinformation.
Actually, in the beginning the virus was a hoax, and yet a hoax that was going to disappear like a miracle.
Have you ever considered screenwriting? Making up both sides of the story seems to be something you really love.
