I'll tell you one thing: you are not going to find much contact info at dailyexpose. No address, no phone number. No author profile. Just a bunch of optically-enhanced screenshots, and some words that are meant to make you angry. Don't fall for it.
Any news source that works for the common good is open to being contacted by the general public—they have to be. A phone number is a good sign. So is a mailing address. In this case, although there is a contact form and a private email address, there is no business identity. That is a problem.
Red Flag #2: Who Wrote It
Nothing is ever written in a vacuum. When a blog piece purports to tell the truth, yet cannot itself be attributed to a writer or group of writers, this is a valid cause for alarm, and immediate skepticism.
There is always the possibility that a team of writers worked on something together, and did not want to be listed as individual contributors in the headline. In a case like that, typically there would still be a collective reference—'the news desk'—that would then link to a list of writers.
Proper attribution is a mainstay of the publishing industry, for a very good reason. When we have perfect anonymity, we tend to have a less measured voice. Put bluntly, it is hard enough to reasonably assume that someone is telling the truth when we know exactly who they are. Without attribution, there can be no trust. Dailyexpose fails this test completely.
Red Flag #3: Misrepresentation
It is a very common occurrence that someone in this position—of propagating misinformation—will not even go to the trouble of feigning plausibility. At the top of the blog post, the source is linked. That's why checking links is so important, because in this case the very data source that is used to make all the claims that follow were clearly taken out of context, in a way that we are explicitly warned about from clicking that exact link.
We have certainly been lied to many times in the past. But the claims that are being made by dailyexpose just don't seem to be supported by the facts, in a way that I will cover a bit more later. Healthy skepticism? I'm all about it. Counterfactual, alarmist gibberish? No thanks.
So What?
Here's the thing. Yes, we have been lying to each other for as long as we've had words to be dishonest with. But there is almost nothing left in terms of trust between ordinary people and the foppish news media that we all love to hate. The lies are everywhere.
Conclusion
Like I mentioned at the onset, I'm not trying to make a fool out of anybody. I'm just trying to make a point about how easy it is to make something look legitimate—in a way that will often send dishonest messaging around the Internet at truly stunning speeds. All I can do with that knowledge is to correct the record, for whatever that is worth. These are a few of the common themes that crop up very specifically in response to this idea that we need a large percentage of the entire world to get vaccinated for COVID-19 if we are going to avoid the worst of it.
mRNA tech is an experimental technology. — that may be true in a sense, but it has been tested quite extensively. It's not a live virus, and it breaks down very quickly. Again, I am all about healthy skepticism, but with millions upon millions of successful vaccinations, the only thing I'm seeing that could be construed as evidence looks very much like clickbait.
Vaccines will make me infertile. — No, they won't. "It is postulated that if the vaccine causes the body to produce antibodies against the spike protein, it will also cause it to produce antibodies to syncytin-1, leading to infertility. Currently, there is no evidence to support this theory."
The animals in the mRNA trials all died. — This one feels very specific, and certainly is alarming if true. But all of the commenters who mentioned this, and there were many, shared exactly 0 source links among them. A simple google search finds a link to this Reuters story which discusses the same thing we are looking at here—a reference to existing medical documents to support claims that are just not true.
So we've been here before. The author of the paper (Prof Chien-Te Tseng) told Reuters by email that the animals in the study did not die. He said that immunized mice "generated strong and highly protective antibody responses which fully protect immunized mice against lethal infection."
WHETHER I DO OR NOT HAS NO IMPACT ON YOU. — Shown here in all caps because typically that's how it's written. Defiant, I-got-mine energy like the tweet I referenced above. Perhaps it's too late to retroactively teach the concept of empathy. Perhaps we can only go back and re-empower the family unit to give respect and focus to the local communities that are so integral in a time like this. This is What I Believe
Wearing a mask matters. Getting vaccinated matters. Because the hospitals are not there just to take care of you. Because variations of this virus do not need to be a permanent component of our future. Because we need desperately to reinforce and iterate through the system that is here to protect us. You need to be vaccinated, because we need to minimize to the greatest extent that is possible the complications, on a patient by patient basis, that come from a Covid infection. We need fewer people to get sick. End stop. Vaccines will help with this. Stop framing it like someone's asking you to do them a favor, and start thinking about it like you are the one who is lucky: because yes, you have a choice. You can choose not to get vaccinated.
More than half a million people—in this country alone—never had a choice about it. At very least, get the facts so you can make an informed decision about it. The tested animals did not die. mRna is at least a decade old. There is absolutely no link to infertility. And yes—what you do matters to those around you. We're all in this together. Don't be dumb.
