I am not a professional, but this looks like a very good study and I trust its results. I think I am pretty convinced that Ivermectin alone is not effective at treating Covid. I still have hope that it is effective in preventing it. We need more studies on that.

I also wonder what the cost of this study was.

So what if they did. Does not prove anything.

Is Bellingcat an independent investigation organization? Why would this one be any different?

> It's by far the surest way to regime change Russia

Ah, Ok. Another country to bring democracy and freedom to. I really thought that by this time we have learned our lesson - but I guess not - God help us.

The title of the article is "The social network for doctors is full of vaccine disinformation".

Given examples of such "disinformation" in my opinion are valid concerns:

"Covid-19 vaccines have already killed over 4,000 adults who’ve received the vaccine" - there is a strong signal that it might be true.

"Articles about vaccines or masks have hundreds of comments, many that are factually inaccurate and often based on conspiracy theories" - lab leak conspiracy has been considered a conspiracy theory for a year or more so I am not sure what they call conspiracy theory now.

So instead of talking about risk analysis, mainstream media just proclaims all negative vaccine comments to be "disinformation".

This is another illustration of loss of trust to important institutions in our society - I hope we are hitting the bottom and will rebound, but not so sure.

> come out to protect the symbols

How do you think they would be protecting the symbols?

Easily, as the result of government actions Belarus looks nothing like Syria, Lybia or Iraq right now. Or even Ukraine.

I think this is a very naive assumption

Would it be OK for me to receive Russian arms to fight against elites and influence of big money?

A lot of people were on the streets protesting election results on January 6th. Was it OK then?

Yes, this was great explanation, but what about mRNA biodistribution?

Pretty sad what is going on with social media and MSM censoring a critical speech and discussions that can save lives. This is just plain authoritarianism.

> - Announced a new company policy publicly before telling the staff

Bad

> - Deleted internal threads that would go against their narrative of why they did so

I am not sure where you are getting this, but I might have missed it.

> - Had a conservative senior employee go off about politics on the call discussing the new no politics policy.

Yes, on 90th minute - we are not sure what was said before that.

> - refused to reprimand said employee on the call

For what? I don't understand.

> - had one founder take this extremely sensitive call from his bed with his camera off and on mute.

We all can be sick sometimes, certainly would be better to it in some other way, but maybe he was just that sick?

- After the employees resigned, did not send any sort of public message thanking them for their time at the company.

Pretty bad, especially considering comments from Highrise employee in this thread.

> Good point, any others? Because the claim was "many of the US’s allies", one example is not enough.

Omitting usual suspects - Jordan is a monarchy.

> These people spent 70 years practicing and exporting communism. They suffered heavy military losses in Afghanistan. They have lost the cold war, and lost many dependent territories.

And adding "democratic" institutions like independent large businesses controlled by oligarchs, "free" press also controlled by oligarchs and "free" elections manipulated by oligarchs and external forces, "free" market economy w/o protectionism, was making the country into what Ukraine is today - just country divided into feudal domains controlled oligarchs in turn controlled by western elites.

> Democratic freedoms and human rights did good for people.

Look at the current state of Ukraine.
