While it is true that 99.999% of anti-vaxxers are both ignorant and stupid, it's also true that the BBC's coverage of SARS-CoV2 has been as irresponsible as the rest of the mass media. While it's easy to believe the Standard Narrative is true merely because it's the one every editor knows is safe to promote, that is merely another form of mass delusion. The fact is the hard data does not support either anti-vaxxers or the media narrative. Which is why many of the world's leading scientists - including Nobel laureats - have signed the Great Barrington Declaration, which points out that our reaction to what is in reality a very minor problem (in even the worst-hit nations the mortality rate is less than 0.3% and the dead are primarily the very old, the very frail, the very sick, and the obese) is actually causing more harm than it prevents. WHO figures show 140 million of the world's most vulnerable children have missed life-saving vaccinations - but they don't count because they have dark skins, live far away, and our wonderful media avoids any mention of them. The fact is, since SARS-CoV2 broke out in Wuhan, more than 20 million people have died of totally unnecessary lifestyle diseases - far more than even the most hysterically inflated estimates based on the spurious reasoning of "excess mortality" and estimated deaths in countries that lack adequate reporting. But we aren't rushing to prevent those deaths because the BBC, like all other media organizations, knows there's no mileage there. So let's remember the data rather than imagine that complex reality is reducible to media soundbites and editorially convenient narratives.
