Media Disinformation - the case of Andreas Kalcker


I just came across some old news about a 'fake' cure for cv19.  It's about MMS or Miracle Mineral Solution. 

When i first read about it a long while back, i was shocked as the media was saying that this scientist by the name of Andreas Kalcker was asking people to drink bleach to cure one of the Chinavirus19.  That's what lots of the headlines were saying. 


BUT,

the fact of the matter is, it wasn't 'bleach' per se, as bleach is commonly understood as concentrated household cleaning substance that anyone knows can't be inhaled, let alone ingested.  The media can't use terms knowing it will be taken in the wrong context.

Rather, it is a TYPE of bleach that is ALREADY used in drinking water, food applications, and industrial applications as a disinfectant. This fact, was hidden by the Corporate-stream media.  Just saying it is bleach is a gross oversimplification. 

You see?


Firstly, Kalcker was advocating the use of Chlorine dioxide, not 'toxic bleach', 'industrial bleach' etc which gives the impression that he is advocating the drinking of poisons.  

What's chlorine dioxide? What sort of Chlorine is used in swimming pools?  What's the difference between that and Chlorine dioxide?  What are the uses of Chlorine dioxide?...... are some of the questions i asked to make sense of it all.

The fact of the matter is,  this guy Andreas Kalcker, was advocating the drinking of small concentrations diluted in large amounts of water.

As mentioned, this is already done by food and water industries and which the media kept quiet about whilst calling it a toxic bleach.  Yes, it is a toxic bleach technically, but it isn't toxic in human reaction to it in the right doses.  That is why it is used by industries, in drinking water, etc - though that itself is debatable.  But the media chose to focus on technical facts rather than real world applications.  Just like they are taking about vaccination reducing transmissability in controlled environments, but not in real world applications.  This is what I'd term a 'contextual lie' where something is true in one situation but false in another.

They kept quiet about it being toxic in large doses, or hid the information in articles that constantly referred to it being toxic and then just briefly mentioning that it was a problem in large doses.  They talked about how 2 people died 'taking the substance' without information on whether it was an overdose or home-brewed.  They mention how police are investigating it, what the sentence for it will be, etc.  All of this distracts people from the real facts mentioned here.


You see, 'fact-checkers' will not find fault with the media saying that Kalcker is advocating the drinking of bleach because it is true in a sense.  But they do NOT point out what is missing from what the media is saying.  That is where lies can be spread by the media. 

These 'fact-checkers' are adept at pointing out what's lacking in alternative media to dismiss it as false because some aspect of it is wrong, or inaccurate.  But they NEVER do it with the Corporate-stream media.  

Ask yourself, 

If the media and fact-checkers aren't being blatantly biased, why, pray tell, aren't they telling you what is stated in this article when talking about Kalcker?

Fact-checkers are there to tell you what is true, not how much truth has been left out to present that as the whole truth and nothing but the truth.


Sum

Well, i am NOT advocating the drinking of chlorine dioxide in any concentration here as a cure for covid as i know nothing of its efficacy or dangers.  But what I'm saying is that the information put out by the media to discredit this proposed cure is false.  

At best, the media and their entourage of 'fact-checkers' can only take issue with the (water : chlorine dioxide) ratio, and whether enough evidence has been gathered to argue for its efficacy and its safety for use as a preventative, therapeutic,  or curative value.  But what the media has done, and continues to do till today is basically stating that this man is peddling poison, which is is itself a blatant lie. 

That itself,  i think, is a reason to study the efficacy of Kalcker's proposed solution, along with casting doubt on the efficacy and safety of Corporate-stream media and their merry band of 'fact-checkers'.
