1/6 A thread on @BBC and gutter journalism.
— David Bell (@bell00david) February 1, 2022
The BBC, apart from spelling the podcaster’s name wrong, is palpably wrong on each of their 4 points of refutation.
Does it matter when public media lies to denigrate another person?
Joe Rogan: Four claims … https://t.co/9Gv4upJGJJ
2/6 ‘Gene therapy’. In the quote, he doesn’t say ‘alters your genes’ as BBC state.

The definition of vaccine changed in 2020 to accommodate mRNA vax.
As Moderna note, they are genetic material, ‘mRNA medicines’, intended to have a ‘therapeutic effect’.https://t.co/oUlXVYj4Ju
3/6 IVM…

Some studies yes, some no. So claim is reasonable as stated.
BBC refer to Brazil, Peru, ignoring Uttar Pradesh, Japan whilst complaining about ‘cherry-picking’. Japan considers worth trialling further.
So they don’t show Rogan wrong, but do show own ignorance & bias.
4/6 On claims on side-effects post vax.
— David Bell (@bell00david) February 1, 2022
BBC quotes ‘270 doctors & healthcare professionals’. They know this is a lie, a large proportion of signatories weren’t of those professions.
FDA notes higher rates from vax 2nd dose, which backs the claim’s logic). https://t.co/rx81RYZja5
5/6 Myocarditis in the young.
— David Bell (@bell00david) February 1, 2022
The BBC ‘s own reference states: “risk of myocarditis …higher following the Moderna vaccine … than COVID-19” (Oxford)
They ignore data elsewhere (Hong Kong- 1/2700, Israel -1/6700, USA (Kaiser)- 1/2,000).
This is not refutation, just childish.
6/6. So, does it matter that a publicly funded broadcaster conducts a hit-job against an individual, based on straight lies and deceit/ misleading information?
— David Bell (@bell00david) February 1, 2022
That the public are fund an entity to deliberately mis-leads them?
Who gains from this and why do they do it?
BBC got Joe Rogan’s name correct. I was incorrect. Apologies. But the character assassination issue stands.
