Global News has a rebuttal of Dr. Nagase's claim
https://globalnews.ca/news/8401613/fact-check-covid-19-vaccines-stillbirths-pregnancy/
I was interested that Dr. Nagase lost his license for the sin of prescribing Ivermectin.
Global News is also spreading misinformation, from their story "Ivermectin is used to treat livestock for parasites"
"Discovered in the late-1970s, the pioneering drug ivermectin, a dihydro derivative of avermectin—originating solely from a single microorganism isolated at the Kitasato Intitute, Tokyo, Japan from Japanese soil—has had an immeasurably beneficial impact in improving the lives and welfare of billions of people throughout the world"

There was a campaign at CNN to claim that Joe Rogan took a horse dewormer. This was a misinfo campaign. Rolling Stone magazine went a step further and invented a story about gunshot victims not being treated a hospital as it was claimed the hospital was overwhelmed with people "poisoned" by ivermectin. This story was false but Rolling Stone failed to retract it.
As Austria and potentially Germany look to implement mandatory "vaccination". It might be interesting if someone could explain why countries with low vaccination rates like Nigeria (1.7%) and Bangladesh (22.6%) are doing better than countries like Germany (68.7) and Austria (67.3) in terms of per capita mortality and daily covid infection rates?
Yup,There's a Skeptiko telegram?!
Indirect correlation.Where do you get that idea?
How do you think Americans owning guns has anything to do with domestic Canadian policy?

Canada does not currently have a good government. We have a bunch of authoritarian narcissists who are propped up by a civil service terrified to let Canadians know that things are falling apart quickly.Where did I mention the USA? I’m in the UK, and no fan of ‘God, Queen & country’, at least not all three.
The impression I had of Canadian’s was that they were good, honest, decent people. Now I think of ‘them’ (far from all of course) as being far from that, in fact, though they are still that. It’s a perplexing one.
Good government? Do such things exist? And what price will be paid for the other two?
The majority of Canadians did not vote for Trudeau and are not being represented by the current regime. People just don't know how to fix this.
I am a member of Reform UK. I have been to one of their 1-day conferences, and I must say they seem to realise a lot about the COVID crisis. They are definitely against masks and lockdowns. I'd say they are much closer to common sense than any other party, and they got almost 7% in the recent byelection.It’s similar in the UK, most people I know think Boris Johnson is pretty useless, but then many of them voted him in!!! I‘m at the point where I could not vote for any party either here, or in the USA.
Trudeau just makes me shudder!
Still, be careful what you wish for, the next one could surely be worse at this point!
Sorry, I'm a bit lost in that comment - are you saying CNN is starting to tell the truth - that would be amazing!Yeah I just had a friend freak out at me when I pointed out that CNN may actually be taking a trip towards making news again, pointing out how the whole Ivermectin scandal shows the CNN is saying untrue things.

Could this be the beginning of the end of the pandemic?
very very sad/tragic. thx for sharing.
I'm so tired of the nonsense argument that make Thom Frank so angry here. Because it IS nonsense.
The argument that the president can't do anything. That government can't do anything.
Roosevelt proved very clearly it could. Trump won in 2016 by effectively wearing the mask of populism until he didn't need it anymore and then went about plundering the American people's pockets (as he always does) and now Joe Biden giving the same nonsense argument that was given to Obama.
No one believes this crap who actually understands history. And this is why Thomas Frank's books are kind of necessary to extricate oneself from the mindworms that are the talking points of "government is corrupt there is nothing to be done", attitudes.
How nice. Some geeks imaging utopia.
There is little to no evidence that Frank's books have any grounding in reality. Thought you are supposed to be a science guy. Guess not. The truth is that humans are evil and will crush out others whenever given power. That is what history and current situations around the world tell us.
Here's a brief discussion that illustrates:

The difference between an argument and a claim- a claim anyone can make.
For example, Joe Rogan is entertaining but nothing more. Is a claim.
An argument suggest providing evidence that can be argued by both sides.
Considering Frank provides all the sources and the references in his books as a credentialed and award-winning historian and journalist would
require an actual argument not a claim to be placed against him. :)
