yes, because censorship is a great tool

Social marketing companies generally do a lot of research to design their lies to fit the expectations and mentalities of their target audience...apparently they see something in their targets which few Humans would be willing to admit is true about our general level of comprehension and understanding of our World...

Good observation and, sadly, way more than plausible...

Good job! We do not need Russian AH spreading false and nonexistant information to people who don't have a BS detector!

I'm looking forward to a long overdue article about the big pharma funded smear campaigns.

No such thing, what you keep calling smear campaing is the science based demonstration of some people making up things, lying or manipulating information unethically to support their pseudoscientific beliefs, and that is being reported widely, for the desperation of the antiscientific groups that depend on that disinformation to pretend they are on the side of science.

And that same Facebook lobbied for use of fossil fuels.

I only remember the CCP and Trump with his administration weaponizing the government against individuals and private businesses that publicly humiliate, contradict, or negatively comment about them.

Why do you think these adds were aimed mostly at Trump supporters? What does it say about the average Trump supporter?

Wy would Pfizer pay to smear Pfizer?

Prove it with data that anyone can access independently so we don't have to take your word for it. That is how peer reviewed science works. You make a claim and hand the reviewers your data. They try to reproduce your results using your data and they check your data isn't made up. I would bet more than beers you do not have independently verifiable data to back your ridiculous claim, which btw borders on libel.

Amusing. I've had 2 AZ jabs and have not noticed any increased desire to swing through trees or eat bananas. Do chimps really like bananas, or is that just minions?
That's not to say that the vaccines should not be open to honest scrutiny, nor the drug companies.
The opioid scandal is a matter of record. As much as Western governments love an opportunity to have a go at China, any good detective will tell you that if you believe a crime has been committed, top of your list of suspects are those who profited most by it.
In the meantime, vaccines are our only way out of this. Get jabbed asap or your nation will end up like Australia.
Sadly, nobody paid me to write any of this post.

And now that it's exposed, if I'm fazze doing an actual smear campaign against pfizer I would have one of the staff suddenly develop a conscience and secretly leak that the secret client is pfizer.

Then why would they do the same to Astra-Zeneca? Why do Pfizer want Astra-Zeneca to get off the hook?
No, they aren't. Anecdotally, I've had both my Pfizer shots, and have suffered no ill-effects.

I mean, actually, maybe it does make some sort of sense.
Conservative posters here always complain that anyone to the left of Mussolini looks down on them for being ignorant and ill-informed.
So to prove it, JT's conservative posters do nothing but make ignorant and ill-informed posts for people to dunk on.
My God, this goes all the way to the top.

No it doesn't. What gets censored is misinformation. You need to be able to discern the difference.
Unless you actually think the Pfizer vaccine will turn you into a chimp. At that point you have bigger problems.
