If you were to listen only to the mainstream media, you might draw the conclusion that most (if not all) experts agree that COVID-19 is going to continue to rampage the earth unless strict lockdown procedures are implemented. In this episode we draw attention to a growing number of preeminent epidemiologists, researchers and public health professionals who are vehemently voicing an alternative view, noting that the pandemic is not as bad as it's made out to be, and that popular countermeasures such as lockdowns and masking are having disastrous side effects. Yet these experts are being almost universally suppressed by the the mainstream media, governmental authorities and big tech. We discuss various propaganda techniques that are being used to skew people's perception of expert opinion, including the use of the head-counting fallacy, the appeal to unspecified experts technique, the marginalization of dissenting experts technique, the coordinated propaganda technique, the selective enforcement technique and, of course, fear (the gift that keeps on giving!). Why is there this coordinated blackout of views that are contrary to the accepted COVID narrative?
