Monday's Absurdity: About Those 270 "Doctors" Trying to Censor Joe Rogan...

Well, this is probably the single most predictable thing that has happened so far in the young year of 2022…

Last week, our utterly corrupt, despicable, disgraceful fake news media establishment reported without doing any research at all on a “letter” supposedly signed by upwards of 270 “doctors” demanding that Spotify censor Joe Rogan’s podcast as some sort of menace to public health.

I swear to you, literally, as soon as I saw those headlines I knew without even the slightest shred of doubt that we would, within days, discover that the signatories to that letter were not all or even mostly “doctors” of any kind, much less medical doctors who might have some clue what they’re talking about. Like an FBI false-flag operation mounting the kidnapping of a Democrat governor or the Jan. 6 capitol riot, this was the single most predictable element of the entire episode.

And yesterday, despite the best efforts of the corrupt news media to avoid it, we found out the truth:

'270 doctors’ called out Joe Rogan, but the authors of the letter and the vast majority of its signatories are not medical doctors

dossier.substack.com‘270 doctors’ called out Joe Rogan, but the authors of the letter and the vast majority of its signatories are not medical doctorsOnly a handful are practicing physicians.

Oh. You don’t say. Here’s an excerpt:

Well, I reviewed this open letter, and it turns out that only around 100 of the 270+ signatories to the letter are people with qualified medical degrees. And a large chunk of that 100 or so medical doctors are MDs employed at universities who are not in fact practitioners of medicine. 

Yet part of the letter reads:

“As physicians, we bear the arduous weight of a pandemic that has stretched our medical systems to their limits and only stands to be exacerbated by the anti-vaccination sentiment woven into this and other episodes of Rogan’s podcast.”

Paradoxically, the disseminators of this petition are guilty of the very misinformation label that they’ve attached to Rogan. In fact, neither of the two reported co authors of the letter — Jessica Rivera and Ben Rein — possess medical degrees. Rivera holds a master’s degree and Rein is a PhD academic who researches psychiatry.

The letter denouncing Joe Rogan and pressuring Spotify to censor his speech has all kinds of random signatories. By my count, the letter is signed by over 50 PhD academics, around 60 college professors, 29 nurses, 10 students, 4 medical residents, and even a handful of… science podcasters. 

The letter, which uses the word misinformation nine times in five paragraphs, concludes with a call for Spotify to censor Rogan as part of a policy to “moderate misinformation on the platform.”

Notably, there is no information on who or what group is behind the creation and circulation of the open letter. Rivera, the reported lead author of the letter, is associated with the far-left Rockefeller Foundation and The Atlantic, and she is a CNN contributor.

[End]

So, standard leftist activist fare. A false flag letter mounted by heavily-moneyed interests of the left, coordinated by a contributor to - guess where? - CNN.

The single most predictable and tiresome outcome imaginable. Such a damn cliche’.

You can be sure that no one at the AP, CNN, MSNBC, the New York Times, the WaPo, Salon, the Rolling Stone or any of the major broadcast networks will now lift a finger to correct their own utterly false reporting on this matter. Because false reporting is in fact their objective, their stock in trade.

That is all.
