    Gosh, it's so hard to imagine that LW news would print misinformation, eh? :lol:

    As so many recipients of the shots are "testing positive" or getting sick, Pharma and MSM are fulltime putting out fires. The official narrative is burning before their very eyes.

    The problem is not misinformation. The problem is disinformation. Completely different things. The latter being almost exclusively in the realm dominated by the right wing.

    Case in point...
    ... this!

    It's not just misinformation but disinformation. Which means information fabricated and designed by right-wingnut media which is then fed to their gullible audience in an effort to get them to disseminate it. (Forum rules compel me to clarify that I am not necessarily referring to anybody in this forum.)

    It is the cause of Florida having today 1 in 5 of all the Covid cases in the U.S. Because the Republican Governor and Republican Congress have chosen to become part of that disinformation campaign

    When everything the American people believe is false, we will know the success of our misinformation efforts, said Bill Casey of the CIA in 1981.

    Your claim that only the right does one while only the left does the other is as silly a post as I've ever read.

    Misinformation, censorship and suppression of the truth are all hallmarks of the Plandemic. Both sides have practiced these things in the last few decades. Cheney, Bush and Tel Aviv with the Weapons of Mass Distraction, and today Biden & Company with the Plandemic.

    How am I not correct? I agree with the OP - it is now a pandemic of unvaccinated. It would appear those who choose not to be vaccinated are the ones listening to RW Media.

    It's a pandemic of the unvaccinated like the Cubans are rioting in Havana. Those are propaganda terms, meant to increase anxiety in the gullible. It works really well.

    Biden would have the term "pandemic of the unvaccinated" carry the same connotation as "conspiracy theorist."

    I didn't say only the right does it. The left does it too. They're just lousy at it. When confronted with facts, the left just gives up without a fight. The right, on the other hand, are unimpressed by facts and reality. They stick to their guns come rain or shine. And any facts are summarily explained away with a conspiracy theory.

    And yet the claim in your title is falsified by real world facts, which has been pointed out to you, repeatedly.

    CA has 35% of the active cases but only 11% of the population, their cases over-represent their population by more than 3 times
    VA has 12% but only 3% of the population overrepresented by 4 times.
    MD has 9% of the cases but only 2% of the population, over represented by 4.5 times.
    WA has 5% of the cases but only 2% of the population, over represented by 2.5 times.

    https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/country/us/

    But, never a word out of you about these folks, but FL, you can't shut up about.

    FL has 3% of the cases despite having 7% of the population. Their cases underrepresent their population significantly.

    So why the fixation? Well, you suspect that Dems will get whipped in FL in 2024 and that FL will anchor DeSantis' winning electoral college vote.

    Hiding the rise.
    I've been repeatedly assured that this was "epidemic of the unvaccinated".
    It's all deception with these folks.

    No, just no. We provide healthcare to crack addicts, alcoholics, people who get venereal diseases, people who decide not to take their prescribed aspirin a day and get a stroke, people who refuse to wear their seatbelts before a 50 mph car crash, people who continue to smoke after they get emphysema.

    People inevitably suffer for their own stupid health care choices, but we do not make it an arbitrary public policy that they must suffer for their own stupid health care choices as we define them.

    No. We don't play that game.

    10 months ago even Throuple Dems were Vaccine Skeptic. Study the evidence, consult your doctor, follow your heart, your body, your choice.

    So much for the party of “personal responsibility”.

    Exactly what we all had to do last century if we wanted to go anywhere - or migrate, or go to school, etc etc.

    Having said that, travel is what started the whole thing. Probably not the best use of a vax passport.

    As per your link
    New cases yesterday in the U.S. +44,232
    New cases yesterday in Florida +8,012
    That's 18.4%

    You provide a link that proves the OP is absolutely correct! And that the situation is not improving much (18.4% from 20% last week, is not much of a gain)

    You watch too many movies. Nobody ever gave me drugs for free even when it was the first time.

    Your claim in your title is still false. One day's data is largely a reflection of how promptly the various states input their data and how uniformly the various counties get their updates in.

    Florida is has 7% of the population, yet only 3% of the active cases. Why are you so fixated on Florida a state underrepresented in COVID, rather than the several Blue states that are greatly overstated?

    Florida is still middle of the pack with per capita cases.

    I agree with the reaction when confronted with facts, but I say both sides frequently do that. Such behavior is essentially human. The lawyers call it willful ignorance, the shrinks call it cognitive dissonance.

    Never has it been more on display than with this scamdemic. Facts don't matter, only dogma does. The media practices it and encourages it.

    Sure. But then your link does not rebut the OP. Which means you tried... did your research, and failed to falsify my claim. If that were to happen in a scientifically controlled scenario it would mean falsification failed and, therefore, my claim's certainty has increased.

    So was your post just meant to push anti-vaxer propaganda? To circumvent the norm that conspiracy theories belong in the Conspiracy Theory Forum?

    I'm not biting. If you want to push conspiracy theories, do it in the proper forum.

    My post was meant to comment on how humans behave, both individually and socially/politically. Simple English, simple facts.

    Most humans avoid confronting facts that threaten their worldview. I consider such behavior as a self defense mechanism for the cognitive side of human behavior, an involuntary reaction.

    It's not a conspiracy theory, it is simply human behavior, and well documented.

    How humans behave, as antivaxers have proven, is by giving in to political propaganda that puts their own life, and the life of many people at risk, as well as undermining the stability of our country, as they perpetuate a very deadly pandemic.

    But you ended your post with a conspiracy theory. That is not what this thread is about.
