Ok, first she says that we couldn't reach the levels of herd immunity without mandates, and my answer to that is "And?" Just because that's the case doesn't make them morally right. THEN she drops some real fascist shit and says that because other people are affected by your choice (Which they're not anyway since the vaccine doesn't stop the spread and we're all going to get COVID eventually) That overrides your autonomy. I'm sorry but I fundamentally disagree with that. And I'm triple vaxxed.

Hey Mike, you know who else said not to wear masks at the start of the Pandemic? Dr. Anthony "I'm science" Fauci. If you don't believe me ask Jimmy Dore and he'll show you.

Ok, so earlier I "believe" it was Fatima who said that Doctors take a Hippocratic Oath and that they're not going to falsify data to get more money for their hospitals, but here Mike is saying that right wing doctors will lie about medicine to suit their own agenda. Can't have it both ways.

So, after listening to this whole thing what it sounds to me, and I could be wrong, but it sounds to me like Mike and Abby got scared shitless of COVID and are allowing their fears to override their critical thinking skills. Not completely, but somewhat. I'm not hating, fear will make people do shit they'd never normally do. I'd love to see them have a debate with Jimmy Dore on this topic.

So when you see people fighting against vaccines, mask mandates and lockdowns, what they are really fighting for is the status quo, the Aristocracy, being either a member of the class, being paid to do so, or are bots. There are also the Pseudoscience religious freaks that believe the vaccine is the mark of Satan or some nonsense, those people are no different than the religious fanactics of Al`Qaeda, ISIS or the Taliban.

Honestly, no longer following your work because I don't trust your judgment anymore. Good luck to you all.

It’s so unfortunate that it’s so difficult to have a good faith discussion about  COVID in the USA with so many people claiming “ COVID Injury “

A lot of reactionaries seem to be attracted by MR and EF for the conspiracy element of their coverage. Very sad to see so many ppl lost in the sauce.

ever heard of aids dissidents? or denialists as the propogandists would have it..? You need to go waaay back to understand what's going on. I'd recommend visiting viroliegy.com for starters

In this Live Interview from 1/11, we talk with Derecka Purnell, author of 'Becoming Abolitionists: Police, Protests, and the Pursuit of Freedom' about her new book, her personal journey of embracing an abolitionist model and how, in the midst of a full blown reactionary moment over a rise in murders, activists can address legitimate fears of crime and provide an alternative vision to the cruel, failed "lock em up" approach.

“Died FROM or WITH Covid?” and Other Answers From Experts

[This episode was recorded Wednesday, February 23rd, 2022 at 3 PM Eastern Standard Time]

A historic crisis is playing out in Eastern Europe over Ukraine, one that has profound ramifications for the entire world. The United States and its allies are imposing harsh sanctions on Russia over its recognition of the Donetsk and Luhansk People’s Republics as independent states, and the possibility of direct clashes between the Ukrainian and Russian military looms. This episode covers how NATO expansion and the 2014 western-backed coup in Ukraine created the powderkeg situation that is currently exploding, and what may come next. 

Brian is joined by Eugene Puryear, author and activist, host of the BreakThrough News podcast The Punch Out, and co-host of the BT live video show The Freedom Side.

Ukraine Powder Keg: Why NATO Expansion Must End

[ UNLOCKED Patreon exclusive episode ] 

Part 4 of the Media Roots Radio Smallpox Bioterror Hoax miniseries starts just 4 months before the launch of the Iraq war. In this episode Robbie lays out a litany of exclusively pulled TV archive clips, official US documents and official statements in late 2002 and early 2003 which make a strong case for the ‘pre-event’ Smallpox vaccination program playing a crucial (but memory-holed) role in the propaganda talking points deployed by the Bush administration for the war. Colin Powell mentions smallpox in his infamous UN speech about Iraq’s alleged ‘mobile biological weapons labs' and the fear became so intense domestically that 40% of Americans polled at the time believed that a smallpox bioterrorism attack was ‘likely’. If you’d like to hear the entire miniseries (Parts 1-6) become a Media Roots Radio subscriber @ https://www.patreon.com/mediarootsradio for as little as $5 to gain access.
