Candace Owens says Trump believes in vaccines because he 'only reads mainstream news' & he is older

Candace Owens says Trump believes in vaccines because he ‘only reads mainstream news’ and is not on the internet


-------

In a Friday livestream, Owens claimed that Trump’s embrace of the Covid-19 vaccines is the result of his reliance on mainstream news sources, which she said had left him unfamiliar with unsubstantiated theories that question the vaccines from more obscure websites.

“I've seen other people that are older have the exact same perspective. Like they came from a time before TV, before internet, before being able to conduct their independent research … and everything that they read in a newspaper that was pitched to them … they believed that that was a reality,” she said.

Your dangerous rhetoric has got thousands of people killed. And it's no joke either. It's very well documented.

When she says he comes from a generation believing they were going to die without vaccines, before TV, before the internet, before they were able to conduct their own independent research, she seems ignorant of the fact that it used to be that people trained to do research were the ones who did research. I don’t know what you call what Candace and her minions do, but it ain’t research.

This is one of the most infuriating pieces of propaganda making the rounds. "Independent research" doesn't mean wandering around the internet being handed conspiracy theory videos by algorithms.

Also now that he's decided to be a hero for vaccine development, woe betide any who dare question dear leader

Is she possibly suggesting that Chump does NOT watch Faux Noise at least 12 hours of every day?

Maybe you should try it Candace. It wouldn't be mainstream if it got things wrong all the time.
