Notice "the Ethical Skeptic" however DID NOT include source data

What exactly do you think the link on graph is? What is source data to you? Also, is your premise seriously "this guy is pretending the data correlates with remdesivir killing people via liver failure that disappeared after they stopped using it to treat COVID in order to make 'anti-vaxxers' look bad"? Must be political humor.

I didn't see any link other than a URL, I had to type in, then figure out how to use the Wonder database, click through it, and find out how it COULD be reconstructed.

When I do research, I present all my data, all my sources, and make it easy to verify because God knows, I can easily make a mistake, and unlike a lot of people, I want to know when I do - so I make it as EASY AS POSSIBLE for people to verify my conclusions.

Why doesn't everybody?

No, because a fucking link wasn't recorded, I had to spend an hour tracking down the Twitter post, because 1 second for the original poster was too much fucking effort to include. So, I had to go to yandex, then swisscows (where I did find it), then only to find FOR ONCE Google included. The procedure is to pick out 6-10 words, typed exactly was you see them, in quotes into a search engine. Then you have to go through the results to see if it's there.

It's a fucking pain in the ass that EVERYBODY has to do, instead of just the original poster.

When you write a report, you include a bunch of sources in your report so it can be validated as true. You had to get your sources anyhow, you needed to get your data ANYHOW, why did you keep it all private? Why the fuck do people INSIST on doing this? Half the shit on the Internet is bullshit, when it's not, include your fucking sources.

Our "news" media NEVER does, and people who are presenting actual data, INEXPLICABLY don't either.

I don't have blind trust in anybody.

Look through this thread, I did the work. Nobody else can be bothered.

Oh it was??

Here - at the ORIGINAL resolution of this post here's "the link that was already in the image":



In PNG format (that's lossless), so that's the best quality you can get from the original image posted here, unless you find the original twitter post which I found, but wasn't included, because.. Just post any shit and don't let anybody verify. It's FUN!

Do you have fucking super powers? Can you read that image? I can blow it up 500% and it's just a jumble of dots to me.

I'm constantly vexxed by people who are like "fuck you, if you want to know if it's true, spend an hour trying to figure it out", when 90% of the goddamned time it ISN'T true. Here's somebody going to a website, taking a FUCKING PHOTOGRAPH of it, and not bothering to tell anybody where it came from, because they are either stupid twats, or lying.

I mean, why bother to include proof the government just killed a bunch of fucking people? Let people guess, keep it in the realm of "conspiracy theory" rather than just fucking PROVING OUR GOVERNMENT JUST MURDERED A BUNCH OF PEOPLE.

It's pretty clear that you have no idea what Ethical Skeptic has been up to for a few years now. He's been blowing the whistle on the dangers of lockdowns, vaccines and other narrative driven bullshit by using actual data.


No, I don't. You know why? NOBODY INCLUDED A LINK to him.

I guess I ought to know everybody.

I'll just rely on CENSORED SEARCH ENGINES to find out anything about him.

Because a link is just fucking impossible to include. It took me about 10 second to write this WHY BOTHER TO INCLUDE THAT? That would make it easy, rather than having to go through 10 search engines to find it.

Most of that is your own personal problem. I have no problem finding information on my own when presented with key data. I've even linked to ES myself in the past. Now, can you demonstrate why he's wrong or do I have to read another adolescent tantrum about hyperlinks that ignores my request?

You should update your methodology. It shouldn't take an hour for you to find a post like that when you have: the date, time, username, and the website the post is from is kind of obvious. Shouldn't be more than two minutes tops.

Then why didn't you find the link and post it? Why did I have to? Why do I always have to here? Nobody else does so this is a RUMOR site, not an information site.

I don't believe you. I have been researching on the Internet for 30 years. There was a SHORT golden age with Google, it's been gone for 15 years, and that was the only time it was easy.

there was a time that the first 6 words on what I wrote would have showed up on Google after a day. Not anymore. I used to save information that way, but Google deleted it all and Yandex didn't exist then.

You claimed the link "was posted", this link:



That's not legible, so you have to go through the tedium of hoping you can find a few words from the text, which nobody does, apparently. After you do that, you have to find the link in a PNG:



Then you need to type it in, good luck doing that on a phone or a tablet, you have to be on a computer, then you have to reconstruct the data from what was written in the image to find out if the data being presented in the graph is accurate.

Wrong about what?

I'm not saying he's wrong. I'm saying it's very difficult, for absolutely no reason, to prove he's correct. Why do people do this? Couldn't upload the CSV, even though he had to construct one in order to create the graph? That would have taken 1/2 second, but NOOOO - now everybody has to do it to verify it's correct by spending a 1/2 reconstructing the CSV, instead of just being able to check 1/2 dozen random values to verify those match. Don't make the URL clickable, make an image in a graph. I mean, a QR code could do that if they wanted to compartmentalize it in the image:



But of course, there's never a liar on the Internet, is there?

Make as difficult and hard as possible to verify anything, that's the way to get people to go through all your stuff.

"So, considering his background, I doubt it's true. It's misinformation to make it appear that anti-covid vaccine anything is just lies and hysteria.

He's fucking intelligence. That alone is a reason to be suspicious.

Did YOU reconstruct the data?

No. You just believe he's not full of shit, MAYBE he's not. You know where the burden of proof lies, why does he raise the burdern?

Construct the CSV, post it here, create the graph, verify he's correct. You seem to think this is trivial, I know it's not. I bet you can't do this in less than 3 hours.

I might do this, but I'm at the moment, I'm working on going through a bunch of encryption algorithms and understanding weaknesses. For me at least, that requires some amount of concentration. Understanding how encryption methods can be cracked IS NOT trivial for me to understand. I'm wondering if you could construct a stream cipher using a block cipher to produce a stream. Turns out that A5/1 sucks and that's what they use for GSM - your phone. That's essentially broken.

LMAO. You make wild speculation based on an emotional response to meager information and somehow I'm on the hook for disproving your claims? HAHAHAHA!

I would recommend focusing on your work instead of spending hours getting lost trying to find a twitter post that literally no one asked you to do.

I hold the default position. You know where the burden of proof lies. You make a claim, you back it up. I will find out if Ethical Skeptic is lying or not. You'll just blindly believe him. That's the problem with our society. Rachael Maddow says that the vaccine is good, and if you take it, you will stop the virus from replicating, and it's entirely safe and totally effective, and since you are now immune you stop the pandemic.


original link

Why would she lie? You have to check data, and people have to PRODUCE data, otherwise it's just a cult of personality, which you've engaged in, because you don't verify claims. I do. I have to do that with every fucking person I depend on information from, except the rare exception, where they produce their sources. They're great.

Believing people blindly is stupid, and I know, how much bullshit there is. It's not left or right, it's everywhere. They don't care what you believe, as long as it's not the truth. That's what keeps the people fighting. Oh the left made a bullshit claim! SURE DID, but then the right makes a bullshit claim...

As long as nobody is right, there's no converts.

The Ethical Skeptic quoted by Ceffer says
"Those who have made arguments that Remdesivir was deadly, have a data to back up their contention as a hypothesis."

Yes, we have data proving that Remdesivir is deadly. And that is why this is a fact and not a hypothesis. Remdesivir is deadly, period.

Tell me, why do you believe him?

Did you know that Vaxxed, the film, was FILLED with bullshit? Stew Peters (Stewpiders) made that. Why do you think there was a bunch of completely incorrect claims in it, and it was promoted everywhere?

There were claiming there was a like a 60% birth rate decline in Australia - OBVIOUSLY false. How could they make a mistake that huge? You know what it was based on? They looked at incomplete data for 2023 and just ignored 7 months of data wasn't available. Alex Jones frequently makes similar "mistakes". There's a reason he's called a nut, he makes false claims all the time.

You want to hide a truth? Mix it liberally with a bunch of lies. You purposely use a known dishonest person, to push the truth, and then you make it FUCKING HARD to verify anything they say. What's the point of reporting anything then if they are entirely careless about being correct?

Alex Jones has said truthful things before, but he's said a lot of bullshit as well. Why do you think he's completely unconcerned about spreading bullshit? Stew Peters does as well. There's people that are just entirely full of shit, Jim Willie, Benjamin Fulford.

But people who go through effort to be correct, you haven't heard of them.

Why do you believe you deserve a dialogue now? You haven't acknowledged that I found that twitter post effortlessly with only five pieces of data. You haven't acknowledged that you made a claim that something is misinformation without actually looking at it. You've only backpedalled or deflected when called out on it. There's only one person you believe: yourself, even when you've no reason to. There's just as much value speaking to you as there is a politician.

Edit: on top of all of that, you put beliefs in my mouth and strawman me because everyone but you is too stupid to think for themselves.

You don't want a dialogue because you realize I'm correct. You believe him simply because it enforces your current beliefs. I know that's tempting, but I've been burned by that BADLY.

I will spend the necessary time to reconstruct the graph based on available information, but not today.

It takes hours to confirm what he claimed. He could have trivialized this, and didn't.

Why? Maybe he's just s shitty researcher, that's possible.

I know why you would avoid this. You're lying or spreading incorrect information.

You would ALWAYS omit data if you were lying. After 30 years of having hyperlinks, the only reason you wouldn't include source material, is you don't have discernment. You don't care about being unassailable in your conclusion.

I'm a little different, and in a day or two, I'll demonstrate with "Ethical" Skeptic. IF I don't find an error in his graph, I'll start looking for errors in other posts. If I cannot find any after 6 or so, I'll consider him relatively reliable.

I've explained it there. I can write it out again, as I know it practically by heart now. Victoria Nuland had a phone call with Geoffrey Pyatt where she was picking out the government of Ukraine. The phone call was released on youtube on Feb 4, 2014:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MSxaa-67yGM

She decided that Arseniy Yatseniuk would take control of the government.

The problem is that the current president Viktor Yanukovych didn't leave power until Feb 22, 2014:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Viktor_Yanukovych

Leonid Kuchma abandoned office on Feb 5, 2014. That was a day before the phone call was released.

This is why I believe what I believe. It's not irrational, it's not because somebody "told me", it's because I've checked and MAYBE I'm wrong, but nobody will explain it to me. @"Mostly Reader" tried to bully me into accepting I was wrong, but never bothered to explain how I was wrong. He couldn't explain why I was wrong, and I believe that's most likely because I'm NOT wrong.

@DhammaStep - I'm incorrect - it wasn't the documentary Vaxxed that is bullshit, it's "Died Suddenly".

Chinese Intel has stated that they estimate the life expectancy of their bribed puppet in office at 90 to 120 days, and that was almost a month ago. That means the Biden Actor stable might be genuinely concerned that their acting gig, and possibly their lives, are up. The typical mob retirement plan is death, don't want those actor birds singing.
