(This is something that's been said from the beginning by those opposed to government lockdowns. Interesting to now hear it from the Chief Medical Officer of Health.)
What they say and what they actually do has been two completely different animals for the past two years. I don't believe a single word these clowns say anymore. They've been lying about every single thing right from day one. -

More musicians join Neil Young in demanding Spotify remove their content over covid misinformation
Annabelle Timsit
A controversy over coronavirus misinformation on Spotify is heating up, with a handful of musicians this weekend joining Neil Young in saying they want their music off the streaming platform as it continues to host provocative podcaster Joe Rogan.
Rock musician Nils Lofgren, best known as a member of Crazy Horse and Bruce Springsteen’s E Street Band, on Saturday became the latest artist to join a protest kicked off by Young, saying in a statement that he, too, would “cut ties with Spotify” and urged “all musicians, artists and music lovers everywhere” to do the same. Canadian singer-songwriter Joni Mitchell also said she plans to remove her music from Spotify in solidarity with Young “and the global scientific and medical communities.”
Separately, Brene Brown, a research professor at the University of Houston who hosts the popular podcasts “Unlocking Us” and “Dare to Lead” on Spotify, tweeted Saturday that she “will not be releasing any podcasts until further notice” but did not list a specific reason or whether the announcement was linked to the broader uproar. The Post could not immediately reach Brown for comment.
The latest developments are escalating pressure on Spotify to weigh in further on how it will weigh promoting the free speech of its content creators against the impact that some can have on public health during the pandemic. The company is seeking to dominate the podcast space and faces growing scrutiny as the medium attracts more anti-vaccine activists who run afoul of misinformation policies on Facebook, Twitter and YouTube.
And competitors appear to be seeking to take advantage of the brouhaha: Apple Music on Friday called itself the “the home of Neil Young” in a tweet promoting his catalogue.
Lofgren and Mitchell in their statements said they stood in solidarity with Young, who collaborated with Crazy Horse to produce many well-known albums. Young who had demanded his music be taken off the streaming platform in response to the presence of “fake information about vaccines” in some of the content it hosts.
The letter, which was posted to his website and has since been removed, cited Joe Rogan, who hosts “The Joe Rogan Experience,” as part of Young’s issue with Spotify. “They can have Rogan or Young,” the legendary musician reportedly wrote. “Not both.”
Spotify soon began removing Young’s music from its catalogue, including his best-known hits such as “Heart of Gold,” “Harvest Moon” and “Rockin’ in the Free World.”
Conspiracy theorists, banned on major social networks, connect with audiences on newsletters and podcasts
Mitchell, whose renowned album “Blue” just turned 50, wrote in a statement on her website on Friday that she “decided to remove all” her music from Spotify because “irresponsible people are spreading lies that are costing people their lives.”
Joni Mitchell pulls music from Spotify in stand with Neil Young against covid misinformation
Spotify, in a statement previously provided to The Washington Post acknowledged the balancing act. “We want all the world’s music and audio content to be available to Spotify users. With that comes great responsibility in balancing both safety for listeners and freedom for creators,” a Spotify spokesperson said.
“We have detailed content policies in place and we’ve removed over 20,000 podcast episodes related to covid-19 since the start of the pandemic," the statement continued. "We regret Neil’s decision to remove his music from Spotify, but hope to welcome him back soon.”
Spotify pulls Neil Young’s music after his ultimatum regarding Joe Rogan and ‘fake information about vaccines’
Rogan, whose immensely popular podcast Spotify exclusively acquired in 2020, has questioned the need for young, healthy people to get vaccinated against the coronavirus, and hosted guests who have promoted conspiracy theories about the pandemic.
Joe Rogan is using his wildly popular podcast to question vaccines. Experts are fighting back.
Earlier this month, 270 experts called on Spotify in an open letter to “immediately establish a clear and public policy to moderate misinformation on its platform.”
The experts particularly criticized an episode of “The Joe Rogan Experience” in which Rogan interviewed Robert Malone, a doctor and prominent skeptic of the coronavirus vaccines, as an example of the podcast’s “concerning history of broadcasting misinformation, particularly regarding” the pandemic.
A vaccine scientist’s discredited claims have bolstered a movement of misinformation
The episode “is not the only transgression to occur on the Spotify platform, but a relevant example of the platform’s failure to mitigate the damage it is causing,” the experts wrote.
Young in a statement posted to his website on Wednesday said he “first learned” of the prevalence of misinformation around the pandemic on Spotify “by reading that 200 plus doctors had joined forces, taking on the dangerous life-threatening COVID falsehoods found in SPOTIFY programming,”
“I am happy and proud to stand in solidarity with the front line health care workers who risk their lives every day to help others,” he wrote on Friday.

"Its healthy, plus you only have your job by the good graces of your employer".
Mandatory vaxxing is the ultimate ultra-right-wing capitalist neoliberal+neoconservative position masquerading as a public health decision.
Yeah you might die, and will almost certainly be very sick, and no, you won't be protected, but Moderna get to steal $20 from your tax money.The following users say it would be alright if the author of this post didn't die in a fire! -

2022-01-30 at 6:22 PM UTCEveryone in this thread is wrong except for me no matter what you say I'm 100% right and you're 100% wrong unless you agree with me then youre also 100% right. What I just said is an ironclad objective fact that cannot be changed no matter what. If you call me a liar or delusional that just reinforces my true statement and it's in fact you that is a delusional liar. Nothing I claim to be true can be disputed even my opinions are always right.
Thank you -

I bet the guys who bet on Trump to win in 2020 are salty. He was winning by a landslide, then they closed the counts, then suddenly he was losing by a landslide.
Shouldn't take a genius to figure out what happened, but so far none of them have sued, that I know of. They're too realistic about things. -

Opinions by nature cannot be right or wrong so it is a little silly to think one's opinion is right. That's why I do what I do and just make sure that I only speak facts. When I voice an opinion, I'm welcome to the idea that it isn't necessarily the correct belief for everyone else. -

There are right and wrong opinions.
