… without checking it first. The left absolutely hates female and black conservatives and will slander them at any opportunity.
NBC news says “Justice Thomas cites debunked claim that Covid vaccines are made with cells from ‘aborted children’. Thomas cited the claims in a dissent to the Supreme Court’s refusal to take up a challenge by health care workers who opposed New York’s vaccine mandate on religious grounds.”
They want you to believe that Thomas believes this allegedly debunked claim. “In a sharply worded dissent, Justice Clarence Thomas expressed support Thursday for a debunked claim that all Covid vaccines are made with cells from “aborted children.”
Here is the relevant text.
Petitioners are 16 healthcare workers who served New York communities throughout the COVID–19 pandemic. They object on religious grounds to all available COVID–19 vaccines because they were developed using cell lines derived from aborted children.
It seems to me that Thomas is simply citing a claim made by the petitioners. Also, it’s not entirely clear to me that the claim has been debunked. It seems that cell lines that originated with aborted children may have been used in testing.
Whether you think that is a serious moral issue is your own business.
The media, however, is garbage.
QUOTE: Never believe an accusation against a black or female conservative without checking it first.
What does race or political affiliation have to do with this practice? Both liberal and conservative media have a track history of slandering anyone if it fits their narrative and provides an opportunity to capitalize on sensational story. In this case it was about Justice Thomas. In another case, it was about Hillary Clinton allegedly spying on Trump.
Seems verifying accusations should be a standard rule of thumb for anything we consume in the mass media or social media. Sometimes, it’s flat out wrong or slanted. Yet, sometimes it’s accurate. Given that, no matter the source, it’s always good to validate the information and treat it like consuming fish…eat the meat and throw away the bones.
