Q: What's the difference between a conspiracy theory and the truth?

A: About 6 months.

It’s not fact checking, it’s “narrative checking”

“Fact checkers” IS the new name. We used to call them “gender studies majors.” https://www.americanthinker.com/blog/2021/03/now_hiring_facebook_factcheckers.html

The good news is that OSHA apparently yesterday - quietly - pulled back the mandate for now.

The sudden death of a 40-year-old man with Covid-19 isolating at home has been referred to the Coroner who will determine whether it was coronavirus-related, officials confirmed.

"There has been speculation this death was vaccine-related but we can confirm it was not," this afternoon's Covid update said.

I call it "Schrondinger's Vaccinated Cat" effect: You are vaccinated or unvaccinated based on whether you've been confirmed to be dead or alive and who knows that without checking right? So you can be both dead and alive and unvaccinated with covid but if you die, it's not from the vaccine and it's not covid because well, you were vaccinated and covid don't kill the vaccinated and the rest is a mystery

"Covid-19 Delta outbreak: 139 Covid cases today - death in home quarantine 'not vaccine-related'"

https://www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/covid-19-delta-outbreak-139-covid-cases-today-death-in-home-quarantine-not-vaccine-related/JYV2GXM47PEUPVOT7F33ZGHTX4/

They can confirm that a 40 year old person isolating at home dies and it's not due to vaccine, but cannot rule out covid yet. How nice. If they say it's covid, then the vaccine doesn't protect. If they say he didn't die from Covid or the Vaccine, then they can continue the humane practice of house arrest without treatment to the protected class of vaccinees. While we all sit and stare at wondering, how to stop the death of innocents who don't know.

I call them fake checks... by fake checkers.

How about instead of “fact check” we call it “uh oh, they’re onto us”

In the novel 1984, the "fact checkers" were called the "thought police".

The specific hazard we are dealing with is the result of people not anticipating the consequences of synthetic baselines generated on the fly to prove efficacy of interventions.

In Experimental Physics, it would not be permissible for a scientist to claim that his weather balloon took off the wrong way and crashed into someone's property and destroyed millions of dollars worth of payload that was supposed to measure "climate change" in the stratosphere. There is no excuse, the acceleration due to gravity didn't change, so something must be wrong with your construction and calculations about wind speed, lift and whether you needed to be on top of Mt. Everest when releasing it to clear the ground.

However, in epidemiology, the baselines are shifted at will without rhyme or reason. You can be injected with 100 micrograms of viral particles twice that create 10-25 billion units of toxic trace in your serum but you will not be considered vaccinated when you die on day 14 after the injection or day 21 in another country. This equivalent to saying the elevation at sea level is not 0 meters but whatever the hell I want it to be so that I can claim my balloon is the stratosphere.

There is no NIST deciding the physical constants like acceleration due to gravity in medicine and immunology. We understand this. It's not easy to measure things that we cannot see or even know exist beyond a concept. But how can one really expect that our measurements will not need constant re-adjustment when the measuring stick was never meant to be lengthened and shortened at will to prove we are still measuring the same thing?

People have to appreciate what a terrific scam we all are participating in when we can change what vaccination means, change what immunity means, we can change what protection or inoculation means. All to serve a singular purpose of hiding from the truth thats staring us in the face.

n* doses of m*amount of k* product only d* days apart + r* days delay

* number of doses, dose, approved product combinations, interval between dosing and delay after treatment are all subject to unlimited revision.

Imagine if they used this standard for AIDS and HIV vaccines?

Everyone would have HIV and Unvaccinated would be blamed for it.

But thankfully, HIV isn't a respiratory virus yet where you can infect the vaccinee and get away with it because their innate immune system fights and clears it or the adaptive immunity learns to fight it like we have in Covid. If SARS-COV-2 was like HIV, then COVID vaccines would be dead on arrival because you can't ignore persistence of infection and no matter how many days or doses you choose, you can't wait your way out to efficacy.

https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/24560541/

"Interpretation: The increased risk of HIV-1 acquisition in vaccine recipients, irrespective of number of doses received, warrants further investigation to understand the biological mechanism. We caution against further use of the Ad5 vector for HIV vaccines."

I think fact checks are essentially wishful thinking. I find if something is marked as "partially true" or "misleading," it generally means it's true, but someone wishes it wasn't, which they call "missing context."

Apologies will never come. Just disregard and get on with your own life.

Oh, we all saw this coming, about the boosters. A "conspiracy theorist" is just someone who says what any person with their eyes open is thinking. As for a "fact checker," just rename them the "thought police." It's more honest.

"fact check" = "thought cleansing"

The post truth planet's "fact checking" is just more of the same new normal reality inversion.

Do NOT comply.

Conspiracy needs to be used more frequently without the word theory following it as 95% of the worlds problems are caused by the putrid global elite CONSPIRING against the serfs!

I’m still working on a new name for “fact check,” but in the meantime, I would like to propose we start using the term “coincidence theorist” (props to Reporting for Beauty: https://reportingforbeauty.substack.com/p/ourpsychopathproblem) for those who persist in gullibly believing the preposterous codology used to dismiss the miraculous number of coincidences conspiracy realists have Occam’s razor explanations for.

I'm not a conspiracy theorist, you're a complicity theorist.

And....it’s not going to stop at 3rd booster.....4,5,6,7..... until everyone has heart inflammation and heart attacks/blood clots etc....

You could add BoJo (UK car crash PM) to the list. "We will have to adjust our concept of what constitutes a full vaccination". That was said earlier this week.

Anything labeled “fact check”will be the opposite of whatever they say

I actually like the fact checks. It shows the weakness of these institutions, they aren't yet powerful enough to "memory hole" everything that they dislike, so they have to flail helplessly to refute obvious truths. The day that the fact checks stop is the day that I fear.

I like "fake check". But the biggest newspeak term is "vaccine", since this is not one. Even when people debunk them, they still use the newspeak. We should refer to this as an "injection", which

is descriptive without invoking an illusory meaning.

They will push spike protein injections until it becomes obvious, even without a CDC count, to anyone stupid enough to get injected, that it is safer and you better off getting the WuFlu.

Love it! I'm a big fan of the side by side "what they said then/what they say now" posts, even though I can get a hit of it myself anytime by web searching phrases like "Fauci not booster" or "lab leak not conspiracy."

Fact check = damage control at this point.

It is actually bigger than conspiracy theory/spoiler alert.

I know what some people are going to do before they know. As in "I will not get a booster shot, 2 jabs is enough".

Just change one letter: "fart check". Because their work is shit.
