Good God, what a coupla dorks.

Noticed I shut your yap up with this. Wanna try debunking it? 

Gone on, then... have at it.

Methinks you suck dick, because you damn sho cain't research werf a shit.

Nooo... you'd rather get spoonfed bullshit lies from CNN, Axios, MSNBC and MotherJones.

NIH, huh?

Evidence For A Connection Between Corona virus Disease-19 And Exposure To Radiofrequency Radiation From Wireless Communications 
INCLUDING 5G - NIH.gov

Abstract

Background and Aim:

Coronavirus disease (COVID-19) public health policy has focused on the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-
2) virus and its effects on human health while environmental factors have been largely ignored. In considering the 
epidemiological triad (agent-host-environment) applicable to all disease, we investigated a possible environmental factor in the 
COVID-19 pandemic: ambient radiofrequency radiation from wireless communication systems including microwaves and millimeter 
waves. SARS-CoV-2, the virus that caused the COVID-19 pandemic, surfaced in Wuhan, China shortly after the implementation of 
city-wide (fifth generation [5G] of wireless communications radiation [WCR]), and rapidly spread globally, initially 
demonstrating a statistical correlation to international communities with recently established 5G networks. In this study, we 
examined the peer-reviewed scientific literature on the detrimental bioeffects of WCR and identified several mechanisms by which 
WCR may have contributed to the COVID-19 pandemic as a toxic environmental cofactor. By crossing boundaries between the 
disciplines of biophysics and pathophysiology, we present evidence that WCR may: (1) cause morphologic changes in erythrocytes 
including echinocyte and rouleaux formation that can contribute to hypercoagulation; (2) impair microcirculation and reduce 
erythrocyte and hemoglobin levels exacerbating hypoxia; (3) amplify immune system dysfunction, including immunosuppression, 
autoimmunity, and hyperinflammation; (4) increase cellular oxidative stress and the production of free radicals resulting in 
vascular injury and organ damage; (5) increase intracellular Ca2+ essential for viral entry, replication, and release, in 
addition to promoting pro-inflammatory pathways; and (6) worsen heart arrhythmias and cardiac disorders.

Conclusion

There is a SUBSTANTIAL OVERLAP IN PATHOBIOLOGY BETWEEN COVID-19 AND WCR EXPOSURE. THE EVIDENCE PRESENTED here indicates that 
mechanisms involved in THE CLINICAL PROGRESSION OF COVID-19 COULD ALSO BE GENERATED, according to experimental data, BY WCR 
EXPOSURE. Therefore, we propose A LINK BETWEEN ADVERSE BIOEFFECTS OF WCR EXPOSURE FROM WIRELESS DEVICES AND COVID-19.

Psychologists Identify Why Usenet Idiots Believe Fake News

Thought processes and belief systms that people develop early in life to help protect against the anxiety and stress of an 
uncertain world may help explain why some individuals fall victim to what has come to be known as fake news, but psychologists 
can offer some strategies to defend against it, according to a series of presentations at the annual convention of the American 
Psychological Association.

"At its core is the need for the brain to receive confirming information that harmonizes with an individual's existing views and 
beliefs, " said Mark Whitmore, PhD, assistant professor of management and information systems at Kent State University's College 
of Business Administration. "In fact, one could say the brain is hardwired to accept, reject, misremember or distort information 
based on whether it is viewed as accepting of or threatening to existing beliefs."

The key to people's accepting fake news as true, despite evidence to the contrary, is a phenomenon known as confirmation bias, or 
the tendency for people to seek and accept information that confirms their existing beliefs while rejecting or ignoring that 
which contradicts those beliefs, he said.

Many of these beliefs and biases are formed early in life when children begin to distinguish between fantasy and reality, 
according to Eve Whitmore, PhD, a developmental psychologist with Western Reserve Psychological Associates in Stow, Ohio, who 
also presented at the session. Some of these beliefs can be based in fantasy, and that can lead to what she calls nonsensical 
thinking.

"From the beginning, parents reinforce to their children the skill of pretending in order to cope with the realities inherent in 
culture and society, " she said. "Children's learning about make-believe and mastery of it becomes the basis for more complex 
forms of self-deception and illusion into adulthood."

Parents commonly encourage young children to engage in pretend play. Through this pretend play, children often practice little 
life scenarios, like playing house, that help to reinforce cultural norms and beliefs and aid in assimilation as they age. The 
flip side is that children also learn that sometimes it's OK to make believe things are true, even though they know they are not, 
according to Eve Whitmore.

In adolescence, people develop critical thinking skills and some begin to question what they were taught as children, perhaps 
religious beliefs or even the belief that authority figures such as parents or even the government leaders are always right. But 
going against one's parents" beliefs can cause friction within the family, and, despite evidence to the contrary, some are 
willing to rationalize those false beliefs in order to avoid upsetting their parents, she said.

It may begin as a conscious decision, but as rationalization piles on top of rationalization over the years, these processes can 
become unconscious. As people reach adulthood, many of these false beliefs and biases formed as children, instead of being given 
a good critical examination, are simply accepted and continue to influence how a person perceives his or her world, according to 
Mark Whitmore.

"In this way, childhood beliefs persevere throughout a person's life and serve as a framework for processing information in 
adulthood, " he said. "In attempting to confirm preconceived ideas, a person may resort to both fiction and reality in order to 
preserve these beliefs."

The rise of the Internet and social media has only compounded the problem of fake news, according to Mark Whitmore, upending the 
traditional news model where an individual receives from a small number of outlets.

"In today's media environment, the channels are multiple, and the messages are often simultaneous and contradictory, " he said. 
"The receiver is often faced with paradoxical and seemingly absurd messages. It becomes easier to cling to a simple fiction than 
a complicated reality."

Psychology offers a few evidence-based strategies for defending against the pull of fake news, according to Mark Whitmore. One 
key to avoiding the pull of confirmation bias is reducing the anxiety that makes it so appealing.

"One positive defense strategy is humor. Watching late night comedy or political satire, while not actually altering or changing 
the source of the stressor, can help reduce the stress and anxiety associated with it, " he said. "Another is sublimation, where 
you channel your negative feelings into something positive, such as running for office, marching in a protest or volunteering for 
a social cause."

He also recommends that people cultivate an open mind by deliberately exposing themselves to different points of view. This can 
help them moderate their viewpoints and make them less extreme, he said.

Critical thinking is also key. People must learn to question what they are told and this should begin in childhood, said Mark 
Whitmore.

"Developing a greater degree of skepticism in children, by encouraging them to ask why and to question, diminishes confirmation 
bias, " he said. "All of these strategies have substantial research supporting their beneficial effects."
