Rofl, if this isn’t bullshit, those cops must have either been bored out of their minds or just had a good sense of humor.

This is the law enforcement equivalent to a little kid yelling “BOO!” at you, and you pretending to be scared.

“Whaaaaat, you’re arresting -meeee-?!?! Oh noooooo!”

You can inform a police officer that he or she is under citizen arrest. You can call the police and have an officer come out with the paperwork, which YOU have to sign. If the arrest is false, YOU are liable both criminally and civilly.

I’ve been vaccinated for COVID 5 times over the last 3 years, and have received various vaccines over 41 years. Slowest. Euthanasia. Ever.

There was a new version last fall and it is still being administered. It’s no longer free (though insurance is supposed to pay), so few have gotten it.

Someone’s going to reply: education is, but I offer PragerU as counter-evidence. There’s a quality scale in education, as well.

You have to either watch them and think critically about the content or be “in the know” through our various lefty podcasters and what not though. Prager U does a decent job of hiding that it is propaganda imo. Though I don’t know that I have ever watch a full video myself.

Years ago, I would keep YouTube playing constantly while I was at work and caught a handful of Prager u videos randomly, and this was well before I was the radical leftist I am now, they still rubbed me the wrong way. They did a great job making an argument that was fundamentally wrong but they’d always fail to explain an important mechanism for something critical. I can’t think of any specific examples, I haven’t actually watched one of their videos since I left that job. But it was always a huge leap that they disguised as a given fact. They’re also just straight up lie about historical facts.

The best propaganda is simply the slice of truth you choose to show that supports your original claims.

It is trivially easy to dig up instances of this or that medication having complications or side-effects. And I’ll openly admit that COVID boosters still leave me feeling like shit for a day afterwards. So folks at Praeger can pull together an assortment of anecdotes and testimonials to build an anti-vax case that is entirely “true” while still being complete bullshit by way of omission.

That’s where the whole “getting educated” stuff is a double-edged sword. You can very easily feel well-informed based on the volume of information - true, legitimate, seriously sourced information, confirmable facts - you’ve ingested, and still be lead to some utterly false conclusions.

You can play this game with Tylenol or Chemotherapy or Dialysis as easily as any vaccine. And I do get the sense that, as the UK moves towards divesting itself of a health care infrastructure because shit costs money, we’re going to get more and more of this kind of “Don’t even bother going to a doctor, they’ll kill you!” medical denialism as a kind-of coping mechanism for a health care system that’s been defunded to the point of uselessness.

The problem is that when this evidence is mildly negative against vaccination (e.g. myocardial cases in young males) it is denied rather than debated.

I frequently have youtube up on my TV for background noise.

PragerU and those AI generated ads talking about free money are things I see far to frequently, and make me far too irrationally angry.

Honestly, when it comes to Prager (no U because it is not an academic institution), I don’t think that’s irrational anger.
