    Just 12 People Are Behind Most Vaccine Hoaxes On Social Media, Research Shows......

    Researchers have found just 12 people are responsible for the bulk of the misleading claims and outright lies about COVID-19 vaccines that proliferate on Facebook, Instagram and Twitter.

    "The 'Disinformation Dozen' produce 65% of the shares of anti-vaccine misinformation on social media platforms," said Imran Ahmed, chief executive officer of the Center for Countering Digital Hate, which identified the accounts.

    Now that the vaccine rollout is reaching a critical stage in which most adults who want the vaccine have gotten it, but many others are holding out, these 12 influential social media users stand to have an outsize impact on the outcome.

    These figures are well-known to both researchers and the social networks. Some of them run multiple accounts across the different platforms. They often promote "natural health." Some even sell supplements and books.

    Many of the messages about the COVID-19 vaccines being widely spread online mirror what's been said in the past about other vaccines by peddlers of health misinformation.

    "It's almost like conspiracy theory Mad Libs. They just inserted the new claims," said John Gregory, deputy health editor at NewsGuard, which rates the credibility of news sites and has done its own tracking of COVID-19 and vaccine misinformation.

I agree with him and I jumped at the chance to get a vaccine.

    They only want America to do well when a Republican is in the WH. If a Democrat, they want America to fail, and actively pursue that goal. I'm surprised they pledge allegiance to the flag. They should modify the pledge to profess fealty to Trump and use one of their cheap Trump flags if they were going to be honest.

    No no no you made a claim now back it up. You asked why I lie and I asked you to prove it. This is a textbook leftist tactic. Prove I lied. You made a claim know back it the fuck up.

    Accurate or not is right lol.

    Vaccines have become a thing because of the unscientific insistence that every fricking body get vaccinated. Followed by the even less sciencey ‘fear of the unvaccinated’ on the part of the vaccinated.

    This isn’t rational in terms of virology. If I’m vaccinated, I don’t give a damn about anyone else. I’ll board a plane where I’m the only vaccinated person and I’d welcome other passengers to take their damn masks off so I can hear them when they talk.

    Beats anything I’ve ever seen.

    I'll do you one better. Everyone, including you, hates America and want to turn it into a fascist country.
