How did the French and German participants describe the first #minipublic session, now 2 weeks ago? Jacques Delors Institute & Europa-Kolleg Hamburg asked, and see here the (translated) results! 🇫🇷🇩🇪

Tomorrow, it's time for their final follow-up session, where participants step into the role of #policymaker! 💪

The next #pandemic phase of enforced #massinfection is going great.

“If a doctor, nurse or other healthcare worker HAS SYMPTOMS OF COVID, they no longer need to take a test and can continue working.”

As we have seen what starts in the UK does not stay in the UK. #pandemicPolicy

Netflix viewing the other night: https://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/the_volcano_rescue_from_whakaari

Its about 47 people trapped during an ecotourism on an active volcano. As it erupted. 22 dead.

My summary at the end of the event to my spouse was:

"People mislead & lulled by Security Theatre. Inadequate risk assessment, incompetent risk management. No disaster management plan. Government disavows coming to the rescue, keeps others from helping. Noone held accountable."

In other words - just like the #pandemic #pandemicPolicy

The science of spin: targeted strategies to manufacture doubt with detrimental effects on environmental and public health

https://ehjournal.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.1186/s12940-021-00723-0

We recognized 28 unique tactics used to manufacture doubt. Five of these tactics were used by all five organizations, suggesting that they are key features of manufactured doubt. The intended audience influences the strategy used to misinform, and logical fallacies contribute to their efficacy.
