Get off social media. There are other less toxic ways to interact with distant relatives, or family. We were not meant to be this connected to people we don't even know. Also, people tend to be more flippant on social media than they would be face to face. Online, a person gets reduced to an avatar, and not a real human being. Even for people who know each other, Facebook removes the stronger bond created by in person meetings.You don't need to know what your second cousin, who you've never met, feels about global politics.

Reason I watched it- my daughter had a miscarriage and had high anxiety that when she had the vaccine, she would become infertile. The doctor is correct. We happily follow the bad information instead of the science, because we enjoy the more tantalizing, extreme story. No point in creating a "happily ever after the vaccine works so don't worry" sort of story. Who would look at that? Who would share a story like that?

One of the big issues for me is watching so many missed opportunities for de-radicalizing folks in comment threads, in interviews, etc. Not that I can do any better. But I think the biggest hurdles are that (a) there *are* real conspiracies, like the Tuskeegee Airmen, or Big Tobacco's hiding that they knew and used nicotine's addictiveness, and (b) almost none of us, even scientists and doctors, actually have direct contact with or oversight of (for example) the clinical trials for vaccines. So, when we call someone a conspiracy theorist, we're insulting someone for a skill that we definitely value in other circumstances: imagining the possible consequences of corruption or regulatory capture in our daily lives. When we say, "trust me, I'm a scientist, and clinical trials ensure that drugs are safe", it's too easy for someone to counter, saying "did you watch them test the drug? did you personally make sure they didn't fudge their results?" So I think it works better to start the process of de-radicalizing someone by expressing our understanding. "Yes, there are plenty of real conspiracies. I'm not omniscient, but here's where I think you've been led astray ..." We all have to live our lives making judgment calls based on insufficient information. I wonder if kids growing up today will be a little more robust in these areas. One of my children came home recently talking about identifying misinformation using the CRAAP test: Currency, Relevance, Authority, Accuracy, and Purpose. Maybe if they have to grow up in a fever swamp of constantly mutating mis- / disinformation, they'll develop better immunity to it.

That retractable needle is visibly much larger than what is used for vaccinations. Some of us can tell that news items showing vaccinations are using, not the thick prop needles, but the thin ones that are actually used for vaccinations. ~~~ Note that vaccination needles have a thinness approaching that of an acupuncture needle and can't be used as a prop needle, as they will too often puncture the skin anyway. ~~~ BTW, this is why vaccinations can't include microchips. Microchips are too large to fit through a vaccination needle. Even a needle as thick as a prop needle is too thin for chips.

Even has a perspective father a miscarriage sucks, though it's more I guess sucking big time versus the devastation the woman goes through. You go in for a regular prenatal check, when they've just finally taken you off high risk monitoring, and suddenly the doctor is all concerned because there's no heartbeat. It is utterly devastating. It also makes subsequent pregnancies something wonderful but also very frightening, because you are so scared it's going to happen again. We've were fortunate and we now have are not so little boy, who's a wonderful kid. I hope the doctor has similar good fortune. Telling her she killed her baby was evil.

E.g. Russian collusion scandal, Hillary Clinton & Multiple Nat Security Depts Caught purposely trying to frame a sitting president & his staff such as Micheal Flynn, The numerous layers to the Hunter Biden scandal, Numerous Border Security lies caught, Wuhan Virus Lab Leak Theory, Trump Disrespecting WW II veterans & refusing to visit graves debunked, Nancy Pelosi purposely withholding last round of 1.6 Tril stimulus around election time to hurt Trumps campaign only to then approve only $900 bill and unapologetically admitting her strategy, the admission of lies by the reporter who released Trumps call to GA Gov about investigating voter fraud and the editing of call to cast him in bad light, the 60 minutes reporters lies about Gov Ron DeSantis accepting campaign money over the vaccine rollout in relation to Publix Grocery Stores….and the dozens upon dozens more that continue to come to light conveniently down the road after the coast is clear & damage has been done seeing how ppl have accepted the lies as truth. The Left has the entire machine on lock and yet ppl like u r clinging to yet another left wing video that uses 3 individual ppl as their examples (not saying what happened to them was right in any way) VS the all out assault on the millions nation wide to which the left are able to mass attack and cause profoundly damaging effects on ppls lives. The mass amounts of physical assaults barely reported locally and NEVER reported nationally that have taken place by mob mentality groups supporting the Leftist extremist views and desire of stripping away of ALL American’s rights. And even as I say all this, I still have the wherewithal to comprehend most ppl who consider themselves Democrats in no way shape or form believe in the horrible actions that have happened to their fellow Americans nor do they support the massive corruption & lies spread about ANY president or any scandal involving our own govt. But to genuinely get on here and make such a ludicrous comment u either must be one of the thousands of bots, leftist extremists paid by the CCP or just one of the many delusional American extremists that have grown in numbers on both the Left & Right. The Right extremist are just as despicable and the only good news coming down the pipe is that as this admin continues to expedite the invasion & destruction of our Great Nation from every angle & political policy, Americans on both sides are truly waking up and actually remembering they are Americans only and it’s been this all out assault by MSM & Govt to systematically attempt to divide us in every which way possible using their labeling system many times over to keep the 🔥 of distractions, anger & division alive while they complete the 1st phase to dismantling the nation as it stands so that they can rebuild it in a way that u, I and the rest of the current citizens have little to no significance.

There are some advantages with social media, but it's mostly very toxic and encourages narcissism (I am not suggesting this about the Dr, just social media), people 'generally' go on these sites to talk about themselves and seek some kind of solace from a bunch of faceless strangers, not to give and support.

Hey Vice why you guys don't do a documentary in how the covid vaccine card is used to segregate people based on the status of their vaccination on a state level, isn't that illegal or unconstitutional?

It's a free country. If you want to walk outside without your clothes on and be nude, it is your god given right to do what you want with your body. Except, it's not is it? Perhaps the clothing card is used to segregate people based on the status of their clothing or nudeness on a state level - isn't that illegal or unconstitutional?

Do conspiracy theories exist? YES. Should the knowledge of that hamper our ability to examine things critically? HELL NO.

The problem is though....that i find that many of these people who believe some sort of conspiracy theory will NOT AT ALL examine these theories critically and will instead without a second thought claim that all main stream media or even scientists are saying is by definition a lie and/or part of the 'great reset'. And the sad thing is that they get applauded for that by their fellow theorists. Should they ever doubt any of these theories, they're being told to have been brainwashed 'just like the masses'.

I'm SO SORRY for this woman who lost her baby. It is 1 of the most TRAGIC events a woman can ever go through. We never forget these baby's. The conspiracy thing, it's just so ridiculous. All of a sudden people decide that they are superior to medical specialists.
