Quit being cry babies, it’s a joke, and a funny one at that. Quit getting offended over nothing. This is the same reason comedians can’t be as funny as they once were.

I think what Ping is trying to say is that American's health records should not be public information used by government to pressure us to make certain decisions, like vaccinations.

Covid is real. So are the side effects of the vaccine, including death, heart inflammation, and a false sense of security. Lots of people die from Covid after being fully vaccinated, especially from the variants. In Israel, 50% of deaths recently were fully vaccinated. Plus they're saying the vaccine lasts only a year. I've had Covid, yet feel pressured to get the vaccine. I already have antibodies. I don't see the need to take unnecessary risk. What I want is for the government and the media to give us the facts, and let us make our own decisions. I'm praying for Boomslang, and will be everyday.

Israel only reported 2 deaths in the past 2 weeks. The Israeli government and doctors are showing data that makes it look like the vaccine has almost completely stopped COVID deaths.

If the the worlds governments and the media can't be trusted, where should we be getting our information? Why is the Israeli government covering up these deaths?

I'm not trying to be an ass. I want to understand what I'm missing.

I'm hoping this doesn't get removed for being political since it is mostly answering a previous post, mostly addresses trust of media,, and doesn't take a side politically.

I wrote my post from memory. The article in the Wall Street Journal actually said that in Israel 90% of a recent outbreak was from the Delta variant of Covid, and that half of the adults recently infected had already been fully inoculated with the Pfizer vaccine, not half of the deaths. I don't know what the death rate is in Israel.

Government officials have political agendas. Winning seems to matter more than what's right, or what's true. That's a huge topic, but to take what they say blindly as fact is naive. Both parties are guilty.

The media has always been left leaning. That's a fact that few will dispute. During the Trump years this went to another level. As an independent, I watched debates for both parties, and how many, many stories pulled snippets out of context or reported things that simply didn't occur during an event, interview, etc..., (that I had actually watched) in order to propel a narrative. It was downright alarming.

I first saw corruption in the media in the 80's when the largest health and nutrition company in the world today was just starting out and growing rapidly. I saw things being reported that were simply false, and the pull other established companies and pharmaceutical companies with lots of money had on the media. It was eye opening.

There's a reason why until George Bush broke it, that media companies were not allowed to conglomerate. It kept media outlets independent and able to publish what they discovered without fear of retribution. Today, the heads of the large networks are able to control what goes out.
People get fired, or ostracised for simply being objective.
In my opinion, he screwed up. It's better to have 1000 independent news agencies, than 5 or 6 conglomerates, where a handful of people can control a narrative.

Because of the internet, I'm not sure how to fix this. However, I try to keep in mind the money trail, and the bias that a particular network or reporter has shown in the past, one way or the other.

In general I don't believe in conspiracies because it's too difficult to get any 2 politicians to agree on anything, let alone 100 or more of them, and then for them to all keep it a secret. It doesn't make sense.

There's a lot to discuss about Covid if you really want to. It is real. It needs to be taken seriously.
It was and continues to be used as a political weapon.

Vital MX is a forum for discussing a sport we all love--motocross. IMHO, this type of conversation has no place here. I ride motocross to escape these worries. Therefore, I think we should all agree that Ping made a dumb move in posting something so overtly political. Hopefully, the powers that be gave him a good tongue lashing, and Social Scoop, something I look forward to viewing each week, can get back to being a moto-related column.

Steer clear of the AskPing articles. He's been posting political opinions since he became Editor at Large. It's disappointing since he has the experience and connections to contribute some good moto content.

As usual, Ping has to show his political ass. Just can't leave it alone can you? Follow a fellow member Boomslang on his journey with Covid. Healthy young guy, his whole family got Covid, he was on a ventilator. I've noticed all the Covid naysayers on Vital are absent. Crickets. Good, this shit is real, you are a so called professional, people look up to you, and yet you push the fake conspiracy lies of you great ex leader. Dude, just leave that shit at home, not here. It's getting old..your butthurt is showing due to your disappointment in the election results. The majority of people just disagreed with your choice. You get another chance in 2024, only with a different candidate. Let it go.

Agree, leave the the political statements for the talking heads on TV. Don't need anyone on a MX site pushing influence on this subject. Lost my respect right there. Thought political topics were out of bounds on Vital?

Cries about wanting politics left out of it.


Brings politics into it. The contradiction is alarming.
