in what might be a coincidence, he looks like french doc who promoted then untested hydroxychloroquine for covid (now we know it doesn't and couldn't work)

Don't know if you're joking but that is Didier Raoult (the french doctor you're talking about).
may his name be lost to history, i wasn't sure at first and he's not relevant anymore
He and his institute are now dealing with a criminal investigation by the French government. He was doing drug trials on children without consent.
His bullshit HCQ paper was never retracted. The Editor of the journal was an author.
True story about Raoult: he's been promoting HCQ since the 90s as a cure for everything and every time the trials have failed. When he jumped on the COVID bandwagon, the paper was submitted, reviewed and published in 24 hours. I known this clown since the HIV claims in the 90s.
Despite this, none of the press looked into this guy's background because the agenda was to provide a quick fix to the Trump government's incompetetant dealing with a new pandemic, despite having a playbook handed to them by Obama.
Omg hahaha
That's him indeed
Yeah, but they never boofed hydroxychloroquine... so much for scientific method
Fake news. Everything posted to !lemmyshitpost@lemmy.world is real factual information, no exceptions.
im a cultured individual, i only get my news from shitposting communities
I read the top part and shared it on FB and IG to 30 people before I read the bottom part
It's always about vetting the source. YouTube can be a source of news, just like articles online can be a source of news. But you have to ask yourself if the author and/or publisher is credible.
That's why I hate every single little "infographic map" that gets posted on repeat. There's often no traceable source at all. And people just accept it as fact because it aligns with their world view.
YouTube has this nifty little section called a description that can help with vetting since people can leave links to their sources there.
You won't see that on the vast majority of social media or tiktok. The majority of articles don't even offer this.
If I find myself nodding along too often with everything I read here or at the other place, it's time to go to some other sources of information for a bit. It's just very easy to be like hey, this stuff is spot on because it's saying what I think!
Canβt wait to see the cropped version of this pop up on Facebook.

One Piece is real.
Fucking thank you for this.
Apparently Sweden created covid or something, I didn't read the whole meme, but going to spread it like it's true anyway
Brb I'm gonna post this on ND LMAO
Is this a picture of Trumpβs doctor who wrote the note in 2016 saying βheβs the healthiest person ever to run for presidentβ? I remember him looking a little like this.
No, but it is the guy who said the malaria drug was a treatment for COVID.

and HIV, and SARS, and about a dozen other viruses since the 90s. Somehow, France funded this clown for 30 years. Now he's under criminal charges.
I just saw the thumbnail, and it cutoff a ton of the text. I was royally confused for a hot minute before I realized I had to click on the image to see the whole thing.
Good one OP. You got me.
