Thank you for saving many people from the temptation to get sucked into what certainly appears to be garbage propaganda of the highest magnitude. The jabberdoo PR hustlers are perhaps looking at shows like this as a way to keep their customer base in tact. 19 months after the big roll out and all the promises and hopes that went along with it, they know the only way they will ever persuade many of us to accept that junk anywhere close to our bodies is by coercion. And let’s face it, they can only keep a disastrous medical intervention hidden for so long before the wary with sore arms realize this wasn’t “the best thing in the world” they fell for. So they do what they always end up doing. Use foul play, name calling, shaming etc so the double masked die hards, sleeves unrolled and ready can then feel proud and oh so smart knowing how much better they are than those racist, terrorist delusional conspiracy theorists. What a pathetic bunch of shit is the BBC.

in the late 2000s my professor in my master's program was on a stupid reality TV show called wife swap. it was a weird time. He didn't allow cameras into our classroom, but he told us all about his experiences as it happened. he was told he had to produce a persona for the show, so he chose San Franciscan green hippie, so annoying but harmless. The wife they swapped with was from the south. Every day he'd tell us how horrible the other "wife" was for the duration of their filming. How she made his young children cry so much they asked to move out (and they did eventually). How rude she was to everyone, what a slob she was. But he was adamant that while he'd play his part, he wanted her to learn about west coast life, and he could learn about the south, so he stuck with it. Now, there are always two sides to every story, but when the show aired, I was dumbfounded. The man I saw on the reality TV program was completely different from the man I saw all the time in my classroom for hours (our classes were 4 hours a day on the weekends). They clipped out the fact his kids moved out to live with their grandparents because of the "wife". They made him seem like a horrible green nazi with a huge distain for the south. Again, one could argue this WAS him because me and my classmates weren't there, but we were all so astounded.... he lost his job because of the show. He lost his position as a board member for a local environmental NGO he was so proud of and had worked hard for. He and his family had to move out of SF to escape the show. It ruined his life, at least in the place he called home for a decade. reality TV has an agenda (the creator's/producers), and they only want ratings. (if you go on Youtube and search for wife swap San Francisco, his episode should still show up lol)

Thank you for this work of extreme labor.

Looking at the screenshot of the media review at the end of the article, I wonder if one of their aims was to just reframe the actual number of unvaccinated in the uk for the wider general public who rely on the mainstream media to tell them the facts. Interesting to me that the article slammed the show but regurgitated the ‘4 million unvaccinated’ verbatim.

It's funny watching jabbers dance between two diametrically opposite positions though; death/injury with/by COVID and death/injury with/by the vaccine. Both are a certainty, but in completely opposite directions, when in reality both are complex situations due to individual factors.
