Govt to get tough on fake news about COVID-19 and vaccines

[Thomas J]

So just who gets to determine "what is fake"   When you get so many divergent reports regarding treatment, vaccines, dates it will become available etc., there hardly seems to be a reputable source.  Only conflicting opinions and reports.

Gary Kasparov once noted that the goal of the Russian govt and its massive disinformation campaign was not only to make others believe what they claimed, but also to distrust all sources of informatio. Thomas J's comment above shows how well disinformation campaigns have succeeded.

There are plenty of scientific studies by now to debunk all the vaccine alarmists. But if you believe that scientists are not to be relied upon, then you end up with the kind of cluelessness that is evident in Thomas J's comment.

In other words, they want more censorship so the sheep take the vaccine. Got it.

Better to be a sheep than one of those lemming refusing to be vaccinated.

Unfortunately we often see the rottenness in others that we see in ourselves.

I can think of nothing more than fake news from the government at times.  It's no wonder they are so touchy about it.

Who cares about them?  Nobody should.  Nobody.  

There aren't enough vaccines in the world today.  They are much better used on others.

Let them croak.  I don't think about them - ever.

The lemmings are the ones blindly accepting vaccination. Besides, that's what the talking heads on TV are telling them to do. Those refusing are the bright ones and certainly no lemmings.

Thank you for your evidenced based presentation and reasoned discourse.

The sheeps are the same types of people that get in line by the biggest line at the airport 'so they know that they will be alright'. Unfortunatel 80% of the mankind is stupid (if not more). It's more funny to see people wanting a vaccination so they could stay with their teelak / go on holiday.

Considering how many falsehoods and misleading comments have been told about the Sinovac vaccine in this forum, those spreading them could well be subject to the government's attention at the very least.

 

Indeed they could and that includes the entire forum.

 

There is a world of difference between factual discussions of the pros and cons of a vaccine and wildly false statements/unsupported allegations  which is what we are seeing on this forum now. 

 

Expect to find yourself warned or placed on suspension if you indulge in the latter. ????

 

It should also be noted that the government was not talking only  about Sinovac and Sinovac is not the mainstay of the planned vaccination effort.
