"People rejected the H1N1 vaccine, preferred to believe in Internet"

[Galaxia2002]

I saw this interview in one of the most important newspaper in Venezuela, and I am a bit pleased that they have not been able to achieve its objectives of making people believe the tale of the pandemic. I translated some parts of the interview:

Interview to Mirta Roses, Director of the Pan American Health Organization
"People rejected the H1N1 vaccine, preferred to believe in Internet"

[...]

- Why there were countries that did not react to the recommendations of the WHO?

"People rejected the H1N1 vaccine, preferred to pay attention to the Internet, because the attitude of the people was to criticize. People went around saying that there were interests in laboratories with vaccines, they believed him and not us. All evaluations indicate that what we said was true, it was a new virus that was infectious, it was attacking young people, pregnant women were at risk ... Many doctors told pregnant women not be vaccinated and several have died.

[...]

- Vaccinating at this point still effective?

"Sure, because the virus will continue among us. The H1N1 virus does not die, it is circulating and will continue with its epidemic behavior.

Yeah right.

I guess I'm one of those who prefers to believe in the Internet!

 

[Mr. Premise]

Me, too. If the Internet says not to take the vaccine, I believe
the Internet.

In fact, that's my new motto: I believe the Internet.

i like that motto. "I believe the Internet" would make a great t-shirt.

"Peope rejected the H1N1 vaccine, preferred to pay attention to the Internet, because the attitude of the people was to criticize. People went around saying that there were interests in laboratories with vaccines, they believed him and not us. [...]

So when they say 'criticize' what they really mean is 'have an interest in their own health,' or even 'used critical thinking skills to discern fact from fiction.'


LOL


Anyway, I've gotta go with the Internet on this one too. Always have when it came to any vaccines for myself or my children.

Internet > Vaccine

That is great! I need one of those!

 

[fabric]

I'd definitely sport one of those too!

Or one that says "I believe the internet over my government!" heh heh :P

 

[Gimpy]

I like a statement t-shirt for all occasions, like this one: Qui Bono? (Who benefits?) :D

One problem is that the internet, too, is becoming a playground for disinformation agents. Almost without our noticing it, it is being controlled and vectored exactly the way the mainstream media has been.

Yes, and they are very, very good at distortions.
This makes me wonder what my state of mind would be if not for this network here.

I know that if I wasn't here in this network, I'd probably be in the Alex Jones group, railing at the world, pumping my fist, trying to organize action of some sort just to burn off the anger-adrenaline.

Yeah, we are so lucky to have this network. I suspect if I wasn't here and hadn't found this network, I would have fallen into the New Age Don't Pay Attention pit myself!
