In case you didn't already know, Donald Trump loves to read theBerita Terkini . He especially likes to read about the latest gadgets and gizmos that he can buy and is particularly fond of one gadget in particular: the cold vaccine. The covid vaccine is a topical gel that goes into the cavities of the sore, or whatever is causing you to snore, and it goes to work by creating a barrier that slows down the transmission of the virus that causes snoring. It's safe to say that the president probably reads the latest technology news, and this story is no exception. On Tuesday, The New York Times reported that the FDA had approved the new gel for use against sleep apnea. If you have yet to catch up with the latest news, let's take a look at the story.
According to the article, "The New York Times reports that the FDA has granted its approval for the drug, called covid-19, that has been designed to help people to stop snoring." The article goes on to say that the gel works by "controlling the airways from vibrating too much during sleep," but that's all the latest news. This gel isn't the only thing the government has approved to help stop snoring, however. The FDA has also approved a nasal spray and a pill. The newest addition to the anti-snoring arsenal, it seems, is the covid-19. Here's how the latest news got you so fixated on this product:
Well, there was a big story in the news recently, and it was a big one, and it's not a big surprise to anyone who follows scientific news (not that scientists write lots of articles on this stuff). The big story was a study conducted in Japan, where doctors discovered that people who have the mutated form of the Coronavirus, which causes the common cold, developed more severe cold symptoms as they got older. They were actually able to reverse Coronavirus deaths by reversing the disease! No big deal, right?
It turns out that the latest news isn't all that groundbreaking, because the latest news is that the Japanese researchers tested a brand new vaccine on children. The brand they tested was known as the "Mask Mandate vaccine." That's just one of the fancy names the pharmaceutical companies like to use, but the gist is that it's an unnecessary medical expense, and that the market needs to be flooded with Coronavirus vaccines. The news reports say that the Coronavirus deaths caused by this vaccine were due to severe adverse reactions, but that's probably because these types of reactions are pretty rare.
In another article in the New York Times, reporter Jane Sutton reported that, "The president of the company that makes the Coronavirus vaccine said the company had no prior knowledge that the Japanese researchers had found a link between the virus and immune systems that protect the body from most diseases." That sounds reasonable, but what about the trumpets announcing a connection between the vaccine and autism? If that's true, then why didn't the media report on the Clinton Foundation's ties to the drug company that makes the vaccine, which gave them millions of dollars? Was the news media blackout due to political pressure or because there simply wasn't sufficient evidence to report? Why is the media playing games with our perceptions?
What we do know is that there are serious questions being raised about the media's ability to hold corporations accountable for their actions. While it may be true that corporate identity demands a strong sense of truth-deniability, it is also very dangerous to rely on intuition when everything we know points to the exact opposite conclusion. When you read stories like the one in the New York Times, the question you should be asking yourself is whether or not you want to bet that everything you've been taught about Coronavir and autism is true. And if you do, perhaps you should ask yourself if you want to blindly trust any media outlet that tells you what you want to hear, even if it's contradictory.
