Here Billy is citing a liar called doctor Ryan Cole.
Cole is funded by Idaho’s lieutenant governor, Janice McGeachin, a Republican millionaire, and both are allied with the Libertarian organization, the Idaho Freedom Foundation. The goal of the Freedom Foundation is the total destruction of all democratic government, the dismantling of the entire civil sector, and the privatization of everything. The end result of this is a form of hyper-capitalism which functions akin to feudal Japan.
As I have pointed out numerous times to Billy, it is not a coincidence that every "expert" he cites is a Republican, conservative, libertarian, bigot, or free-market fundamentalist.Their goal is the preservation of certain hierarchies, either along class lines (the rich at top), or racial lines (whites above minorities). Their Covid lies are yet another in a long list of lies which are weaponized to shrink government, roll back democracy, attack socialized medicine, and embolden capitalists.
Note that most of these guys don't actually believe their lies - Cole is himself vaccinated, as are his children, and he still vaccinates all his patients - they simply cynically use these conspiracies to further their political goals.
And yet Billy sees his "conspiracies" as a means of achieving "freedom from tyranny". To Billy, it is only a coincidence that the most tyrannical group in history (rich white capitalists, libertarians, Republicans and racist conservatives), are today supporting his conspiracy. This time they are right!
But in reality, they are part of an on-going movement to usher in a form of authoritarian capitalism. As the expert Dave Frum prophetically once said: "If conservatives become convinced that they can not win democratically, they will not abandon conservatism. The will reject democracy.”
President Trump epitomized this. He created conspiracies within conspiracies, fake narratives within fake narratives, all of which ended with an attempt to overturn an election. The entire conservative echo-chamber - which Billy is plugged into - now functions as a mad, psychotic fantasy world, which the super rich, and Republican party, hope to one day weaponize, just like Hitler weaponized his anti-Jew conspiracies against the world.
Anyway, Billy cites Ryan Cole. Cole says "mRNA trials in mammals have led to odd cancers" and that "mRNA trials on mammals have led to autoimmune diseases.”
Cole dodged providing proof for this, until he finally cited a 2018 paper published in a journal called "Nature Reviews Drug Discovery", a paper which reviewed trials and studies of various earlier mRNA vaccines.
Cole hoped nobody would track this paper down, but they did, and upon reading it everyone saw that the paper said the COMPLETE OPPOSITE of what Cole was claiming. The professor who authored the paper (Norbert Pardi, a professor of medicine at the University of Pennsylvania) even came forward and reaffirmed this, and went on to point out that, quote, "No publications demonstrate that mRNA vaccines cause cancer or autoimmune diseases."
It’s also worth noting that the paper predated the COVID-19 pandemic by two years, so it doesn’t include any information specifically about the COVID-19 vaccines.
So Cole is a liar. There is no scientific evidence that shows that mRNA vaccines cause autoimmune diseases. Multiple clinical trials have been performed with mRNA vaccines in the past 10 years and none of them found that mRNA vaccination caused autoimmune diseases. If there exist any studies showing an autoimmune disease appearing many months after vaccination, Cole and anti-vaxxers would be able to cite it. They'd proudly point to the studies. But they can't. They instead lie and hope nobody checks their citations.
As Dr. Roger Shapiro, a leading expert in immunology and infectious diseases at Harvard’s School of Public Health, says: “There is nothing in the science of mRNA vaccines that would suggest carcinogenicity, and they have been tested in humans for other diseases before COVID-19. MRNA - which is made all the time in our bodies - rapidly breaks down in the body, and does not last long enough to act as a carcinogen."
Dr. Dean Winslow, an infectious disease physician at Stanford Health Care, is equally dismissive of Cole's claims: "He's a fear-monger. There’s just no scientific basis for that.”
But that's what conservatism does. It uses fear to uphold hierarchies. Fear the black man, fear the Native Indian raping your women, and you justify enslavement, or genocide. Similarly, convince the world that scientists, intellectuals, Jews and leftists are trying to kill you with Covid vaccines, and you justify supporting old, rich white Republicans.
In this way, Billy has become everything he hates - a Covid Uncle Tom - but he's so far down the rabbit hole, his ego won't ever let him realize this.
