How Bad Is The COVID-19 Misinformation Epidemic?

‘The COVID-19 pandemic has been equally defined by how much we don’t know as how much we do. That vacuum has been quickly filled with bullshit.

One of the reasons we might be seeing more people falling for misinformation is the knowledge gap that comes with an emerging disease like COVID-19. There’s a lot we still don’t know about this virus, and that lack of understanding can create a vacuum that is all too easily filled by conspiracy theories and misinformation.’

The United Nations secretary-general has warned we’re living through “a pandemic of misinformation,” and the head of the World Health Organization said it’s an “infodemic.”

Of which they are primarily responsible for.

The Democrat/Media-Induced CoronaPanic has Killed Thousands – DB DAILY UPDATE

"One favorite liberal talking point throughout this crisis has been to say “boy, things sure would have been different if Obama was president,” and that is certainly true. Because if Obama were president, the Democrats/media axis of propaganda would not have engaged in the frenzied effort during February and early March to create a national panic about this viral gift from China as a tactic to damage him.
No question about that, and without that national panic, Dr. Fauci would have likely never gotten his national platform from which to create so much confusion and additional panic, which led directly to the whole “flatten the curve” strategy involving what became almost a national lockdown. Without that national panic created by the Democrats and media, we might have saved tens of thousands of elderly lives that have instead been lost.
Never forget what these people did to our country in the crass pursuit of partisan political power."

Comment:
Kudos to the author David Blackman. More OUTSTANDING work. Thank you, sir.
Rather than work with the president to fight this pandemic, the so called leaders within the Progressive Marxist Socialist/DSA Democrat Left in Congress, State and City governments spread their fear mongering, panic and in many cases the virus itself throughout Nursing Homes.

Evil people always support each other; that is their chief strength. - Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn

Modern society is hypnotized by socialism. It is prevented by socialism from seeing the mortal danger it is in. And one of the greatest dangers of all is that you have lost all sense of danger, you cannot even see where it’s coming from as it moves swiftly towards you. - Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn

Such as it is, the press has become the greatest power within the Western World, more powerful than the legislature, the executive and judiciary. One would like to ask; by whom has it been elected and to whom is it responsible? - Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn

Maybe it is trump's briefing and his tweets.

The Covid-19 trauma should humble Americans, who often too easily ridicule the ignorance and incompetence of other nations' "leaders."

Our "leaders" (federal, state, and local) don't know what they are doing, either. They are simply throwing out ideas and hoping that some are correct.

A year from now, some of the "experts" are going to be very embarrassed. For example, here in Los Angeles, the lockdown has been draconian. Yet it is one of the hotspots of the nation, according to the media. The "experts" do not know why.

The Los Angeles Times (I canceled my subscription to that rag last year, but I picked it up this morning for our elderly neighbor) had a headline that said something like: "There is no grief in the nation for the 100,000 Covid-19 deaths. Trump is counting on this apathy to get reelected." When headlines become mini-editorials, you know that we are in big trouble!

You mean like those who walk around outside with masks on.
The disinformation lies with those who continue to disregard data and instead maintain politically motivated, unnecessary and counterproductive draconian lockdown measures.

What misinformation. You mean our beloved Blackfaced Governor who went to the beach sans mask to do some social distancing before he orders us to wear masks Tuesday could be lying?

Why scientists are changing their minds and disagreeing during the coronavirus pandemic

In our culture, we often hold politicians, corporate executives and other leaders accountable for the consistency of their positions. But in the scientific world, thinking is expected to evolve based on new evidence — and that's happened during Covid-19.

Exhibit A

I suggest you obey The Donald, go out to a very crowded bar, today and tomorrow, don't wear a mask, and mock anyone who wears one. Then make sure to take Hydroxychloroquine for the next two weeks, and during that time move freely among your friends, relatives, neighbors and strangers.

I know you will not read this link, since it will make clear what trump has said, not said he said, and lied about.

Trump’s Inaccurate Claims on Hydroxychloroquine (Published 2020)

The president falsely described scientific research around the malaria drug, falsely denied the existence of a federal warning against it and argued, with no evidence, that large numbers of health care workers were taking it.
