Alex Jones was recently fined over $49 million in damages for expressing a conspiracy theory about the Sandy Hook Elementary School massacre being a hoax. That was probably one of Alex’s most bizarre conspiracy theories.
The first time I listened to Jones I thought he was senseless. However, I took a few of the topics he was covering at the time and did my own research. To my amazement, his claims were all based in fact. Over the years I’ve listened on and off. In my opinion he has been right and well in front of the news more often than not. For me, and I suspect many of his listeners, I’ve treated Jones as a place to hear about numerous topics not covered by the general press. I’ve treated his broadcast the way many might treat the National Enquirer. There are some breaking stories in it from time to time (Bill Cosby’s Sexual Assault Allegation, Tiger Woods’ Cheating Scandal, Jesse Jackson’s Family Tree Grows..et.al.), but we also realize there is injected entertainment value.
The point being, people call Alex Jones a “Conspiracy Theorist” all the time.
Sandy Hook Conspiracy Theorist Ordered to Pay Nearly $50 Million in Damages To Victim’s Parents
Vanity Fair
A theorist is by definition a person who theorizes. That is one who speculates, to be curious or doubtful about, to meditate on or ponder a subject. While there is no doubt Jones’ Sandy Hook theories did cause grief to the families, apparently you can no longer theorize.
If that be the case, what should be the consequence for spreading medical lies to the American public as the self-described “I am Science”? Dr. Fauci has lied more and caused more direct damage than anything Alex Jones has done.
The short list of Fauci lies:
- Lying About Gain-of-Function Research.
- There’s evidence COVID-19 vaccines don’t just protect you – they may stop you from spreading the virus to others, too
- Claimed that Texas’s mask mandate repeal would cause a surge in cases. It didn’t. A month after the repeal, Texas cases dropped by 4,000 per day.
- Predicted Americans would still need to wear masks after vaccination, going against the science.
- Knowingly lied about herd immunity statistics.
- Claimed that New York’s brutal lockdowns were the only path out of the pandemic. They weren’t. Florida took a different route that was more successful.
- Knowingly lied to American’s about his opinion on mask efficacy. Had no regrets.
- Told American’s that masks were unnecessary, days before COVID was officially classified as a global pandemic. He then walked back on it.
- Claimed that COVID was not a major threat. It was.
Millions were also told the jab was a vaccine, when in fact it is a gene therapy. Reuters fact check titled: Fact Check-mRNA vaccines are distinct from gene therapy, which alters recipient’s genes actually concluded that Scientists say mRNA vaccines can be considered “genetic-based therapy” because they use genetic code from COVID-19.
Conclusion: If spreading a conspiracy theory can impose $45 million in damages, what does lying about COVID, vaccines, masks, and funding gain-of-function research when you “are science” impose?
Let the class action lawsuits begin!
Jones should start a class action against Fauci! If he can be sued for opinions, then certainly Fauci can be sued for medical lies!
Do you know if the parents that sued ever contacted or tried to contact Jones before contacting legal counsel?
Another show trial to take out yet another powerhouse that is exposing the one world leftists. It you slip one inch they are coming for you. However the left can do anything they want. Hillary can have classified documents on her own unprotected server, no raid. Fauci can get royalties from big pharmaceutical then force their drugs on everyone, no issue. The View can disparage Jews, they stay on the air. Life in America under the totalitarian left!
