If the poster is banned, he may have done something that was against the Acts terms of use that was noticed by another admin. If you have access to him, perhaps you could ask him. But I moved one thread, with a note, and took no further action.
Anyway, one of the major methods for evaluating information is evaluating the credibility of the source. Sources such as OAN, Jensen, and others cited by the conspiracy-minded have no crediblity because of how they vet (or rather don't vet) information and publish things that are false. No one owes it to you to litigate this to you every time you cite a source. If you want your arguments to be taken seriously, start with credible sources.
And you could save us all some time by googling for debunkings on your own. This is one of the first things I do when I am evaluating information. Search for "[claim] debunked" and see what you get. See if the people claiming to debunk it are credible, and see what sources they are appealing to. |
It explains a lot if you rely on the very biased google. I quit using google months ago and I now use DuckDuckGo. You will probably just dismiss Google bias as another conspiracy theory. But Big Tech bias is a fact born out by their own words in Project Veritas undercover videos.
As far as Dr. Jensen goes, the story I quoted him from that appeared in USA Today had fact checks within the story. And none of them disputed his claims about extra covid money going to hospitals. It is a fact that hospitals get extra medicaid money for covid cases/covid deaths. My friends family was told as much by the hospital. The fact checkers only took issue with the idea that the extra money was causing the numbers to be inflated. Which again that is even called into question by my friends own experience. In their case, the hospital wanted to put covid on the death certificate so they could receive extra money.
