Google censors “Mass Formation Psychosis” search results awaiting new sources
- verdverm 5y agoI see results, the tweet is 4 days old
- ErikVandeWater 5y agoWas there an HN post about this already?
- anduru_h 5y agoIMO, it's the perfect set buzzwords for the masses and the uneducated. Short enough where they can glean a meaning from it at a quick glance, and long enough where it feels sophisticated to use.
- FooBarBizBazz 5y agoIndeed. Somebody below linked the original post https://rwmalonemd.substack.com/p/mass-formation-psychosis https://rwmalonemd.substack.com/p/mass-formation-psychosis , which is... utter trash. Technobabble garbage. I'm almost embarrassed for the Right, if this is what they're trotting out.
- LinuxBender 5y agoI would propose this to be included as a sub-set of the definition [1]. I generally like the presentation of these videos and the work that goes into them. [1] - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=09maaUaRT4M https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=09maaUaRT4M [video]
- garyclarke27 5y agoif you haven’t seen these Joe Rogan interviews yet - it is worth downloading Spotify on your SmartTV to see Dr Robert Mallone and Dr. McCollough. 2 utterly fascinating conversations well worth 5 hours of your time. Google’s pathetic attempts to censor these is pure evil.
- harpersealtako 5y agoI knew I had to listen to the Malone one yesterday once I saw that it got banned everywhere (thank you Streisand effect). I was surprised by how lucid it was considering my preconceptions. A lot of Malone's main points, especially those about censorship and how dangerous a thing it is to censor criticism of pharmaceutical institutions, rang particularly true in hindsight (knowing that you're listening to a podcast that itself was censored). I don't agree with everything he said (I did some research beforehand about the guy and looked at some criticisms of his claims after) but I fully agree that censoring him is not only wrong, but evil (censoring criticism of a drug harms the very concept of informed consent). Interestingly the "mass formation psychosis" bit, which seemed like just a fancy way of saying "a lot of people have surprisingly crazy opinions about COVID, what's up with that?", was barely a side note rather than his main argument, which is that there are a lot of flaws and conflicts of interest in a lot of institutions around the pandemic and the vaccine, and that a lot of good criticism may be getting suppressed in the (perhaps well-intentioned) attempts to fight vaccine hesitancy.
- bellyfullofbac 5y agoFeels like the cast-iron pot calling the aluminium kettle black...
- bitcurious 5y agoIt’s surprising and distressing that a relatively uncompelling idea is threatening enough to ban. Dr Malone’s post on the topic: https://rwmalonemd.substack.com/p/mass-formation-psychosis https://rwmalonemd.substack.com/p/mass-formation-psychosis In my reading, there’s a dash of truth and a bowl of exaggeration.
- ra-mos 5y agoYou say that, but have you met my aunt? … /s (mostly)
- im3w1l 5y agoHn title seems editorialized and wrong (unless the situation has changed?). Searching the phrase gives the disclaimer from tweet, BUT also results.
