Comment on Scott Ritsema, Dr. Lela Lewis, Pastor Wyatt Allen an Dr. Peter McCullough on COVID-19 Vaccines by Travis Laws.

Sean,
we don’t need to beat this horse to death. Your readers can read the quote from Scott and hear him in the video saying he’s giving air to THE OTHER SIDE; he repeated that twice. Then you put words in his mouth that he is claiming to be “into presenting data on both sides,” which he didn’t say; he said the exact opposite – that he is into presenting the “the other side” because “the one side was getting a little more play.” Those are his actual words; he never said he or any individual platform should be expected to present both sides. Just let his own words speak for themselves without your construction put on them.

How about this as a truce, Sean:

1. Opinion blogs and videos like yours and Scott/Lela’s video – go ahead and share one side of the argument; everybody does this and we collectively allow all sides to be heard.
2. Opinion journalism – same. Share your opinion. No pressure to give equal time to the other side. All sides get heard.
3. Supposedly neutral platforms like social media or news programs that claim to be objective – allow all sides to be heard on your platform, because you claim to be a commons of ideas.
4. Medical forums (like the NAD video) that claim to be a “conversation” – either allow both sides or drop the pretense of providing a “conversation.”

Sean,
It’s sad that you find humor in a topic that is this polarizing and important; that you say its hypocritical for someone to present another side of things without representing the already over-prominent and one-sided perspective that is being presented everywhere you look. That is the whole point of what Scott and company were doing. They are presenting a side of things that most people in the country have no access to easily hear about because of the extreme censorship and silencing of anyone that has a different opinion or perspective contrary to the narrative being pushed by Fauci and other leaders as well as nearly every media platform including social media. This is far from hypocritical. The coercive push for vaccination and the endless representation of the “safety” and “efficacy” of these vaccines is heard everywhere you go and on nearly every major news source. This side is beyond represented. This side needs no further representation. If there is anything hypocritical taking place here, it is the shocking and disturbing way that the voices of individuals like Scott, Dr. Lela Lewis, Dr. Peter McCullough, and others have been attacked and silenced through extreme censorship. These people have boldly voiced their opinions and perspectives and have done so at great risk. There is nothing bold about toeing the line and following the masses. It takes guts to speak out against the powerful and influential voices of people in leadership. This country and this world need more bold people like Scott and company that are not afraid to take a stand and raise their voices. I feel sorry for anyone who is choosing to toe the line out of fear, coercion, or lack of thorough knowledge obtained from hearing the full story.
I also find it concerning that you call them hypocrites and tear away at their personal and professional characters because you think their numbers are off. What about the COVID numbers themselves? What about the COVID deaths? I worked on the front lines in COVID ICUs for months. I witnessed, first-hand, the falsification of data taking place. We were told that all deaths were to be recorded as COVID deaths regardless if a patient even had COVID or not. This took place all over the country. This is not even hypocritical. This is the illegal falsification of medical documentation. How can you justify this and tear down Scott and company for simply presenting an alternative view?

Sean,
where did Scott claim to be providing a neutral platform? A quote from the video would be helpful. This is what I heard in the video… at 4:34 Scott says “I believe everybody needs to hear both sides” and he says that when a side has something to say and isn’t being heard he wants to “give air to that other side… I’m looking forward to hearing another side of this discussion that maybe you haven’t heard much of.” He’s totally transparent that he’s giving the other side a hearing since they’ve been silenced elsewhere. If you’re going to accuse somebody of being a hypocrite, you should quote where he says every forum on the covid vaccine needs to provide both sides.
