Why Counterfeit Ozempic Is a Global-Growth Industry [Katherine Eban | June 04 24 | VanityFair] (www.vanityfair.com)

The semaglutide weight-loss miracle has a dark side: As desperate patients contend with shortages and sky-high prices, a world of criminals and con artists are filling the void with life-threatening fakes. Katherine Eban investigates our alarmingly active pharmaceutical underground.

Edit: seperated quote, to make more sense, bottom quote is under image

You are correct:

If you look at the article, it has the following under the image you are talking about:

Vine helped the Ice Bucket Challenge — which raised money for ALS — go viral. At its peak, around 200 million people used the app which had Twitter integration. Vines Collections/Youtube

Dozens of people, dozens!

A good amount, a lot of the elite and people with social influence share information, while the people also share news pretty quickly.

I know will enough, some may be false or not confirmed, but helpers are always willing to call it out when they learn and try to share that knowledge with us.

Thanks for that information, it may be helpful to those that care and vote for the duopoly.

I see all legacy media and the institutions as propaganda (to a degree) to help the owner class and to continue the status quo.

A blowout wouldn’t look like the landslide reelection of President Ronald Reagan over Democrat Walter Mondale in 1984. But it could mean Trump winning more Electoral College votes than expected by flipping most if not all of the states Biden won in 2020 — and even expanding the map by turning some unexpected states, like Minnesota or Virginia, red.

Emerson College Polling/The Hill surveys from April and a Bloomberg/Morning Consult poll last month both had Trump leading Biden in seven swing states: Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Nevada, North Carolina, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin. Biden won each of those states except for North Carolina in 2020 en route to 306 electoral votes.

Candidates need 270 electoral votes to win. Biden won in 2020 with 306; Trump won in 2016 with 304; former President Obama won in 2012 with 332 and in 2008 with 365, winning states like Indiana, Iowa, North Carolina, Florida and Ohio in the process.

In a Quinnipiac survey before the verdict, 6 percent of Trump voters said they’d be less likely to vote for the former president if he was convicted.

A YouGov poll taken after the verdict found that 27 percent of independent voters were less likely to vote for Trump — but 21 percent were made more likely.

An ABC News/Ipsos poll found 50 percent of Americans thought Trump’s guilty verdict was correct, and 49 percent said he should end his presidential campaign as a result.

A presidential forecast model from The Hill/Decision Desk HQ currently predicts Trump has a 56 percent chance of winning the election, and national polling averages put the former president up by around 1 point.

At the same time, wars in Gaza and Ukraine are showing no end in sight, and developments on the international stage could roil things for Biden in the coming months.

You might be correct, but 2016 vibes are all around us…

Sadly, this can be applied to anyone from the duopoly.

Grassroots is a great thing, but corporations have billions to ‘invest’ in politicians, so they can pass thier laws and more war.

We have legalized bribery in the US, which they call lobbying.

The election of Trump is basically a fucking religion at this point.

Sadly, it seems the duopoly acts as a religion, not just Republicans or Republican-lites.

We must continue to fight the class war and not let the owner class keep dividing us!

Nope, I am here. I will try to answer after this reply.

I am not online 24/7 and I will not bother or have the time to reply to every comment or criticism, sadly, I am not a robot or a vulcan that can manage that.

You may be right.

I know I can be wrong and I try to learn from mistakes or bad habits.

Yes, communication can be hard and I and others may react with emotion or just to reply quickly…

I know I do that, as well as other humans.

When the guest demonstrates a clear intent to spread obvious misinformation to further their own interests, discontinuing the conversation is the only recourse.

I do not agree with that point, but who knows how I would react. It is legacy media so sounds bites and time limitations might be the real cause for no pushback.

To say the same thing another way, the host did rebut the guest, but the guest carried on without responding to the rebuttal, intent on using the show as a platform to spread misinformation.

You are most likely correct, but I have little to no reason to be an apologetic to the duopoly,legacy media, or the owner class.

fat fucks

I know it can get emotional when talking to people you are against or that do not agree or think the way you want them to, but try to remember:

  1. Be civil

Legacy media is corporate media, but more precisely and to the best of my recalling knowledge, it points to news corporations that started in television and those that had printed newspapers.

This is just a way to showcase how they have lost the trust of the working class and that most get thier news from social media sites and/or independent sources.

I may be wrong, but that is a way I would describe it to people that have not heard of legacy media.

Edit: forgot you had another questoion

How do you make sure to check independent journalists? From what source(s)?

Many independent journalists at one time were a part of legacy media.

They are not only on social media and their stuff is shared and talked about by commentators, including political commentators and activists, they also have their own sites and communities online.

Nope, it looks like a killer whale to me…

Sealioning is a type of trolling or harassment that consists of pursuing people with relentless requests for evidence, often tangential or previously addressed, while maintaining a pretense of civility and sincerity, and feigning ignorance of the subject matter.

I disagree, but feel free to continue to think in that manner.

Thanks, but I am not that fast or learn that quickly.

I manage some of their communities here, but that is a small amount that I see.

I tend to share some of them, if you would be brave enough to look through my feed (or have the time), hahaha

@jimmydoreisalefty@lemmy.world avatar

Edit: tried to improve wording, a bit

I see RT once in a while, mostly on twitter.

Some great people came from there, with even some journalist that have won journalist awards, mind you!

I would wager you to find out which ones, hahaha

jimmydoreisalefty,
@jimmydoreisalefty@lemmy.world avatar

Being civil, in general…

All I can do is try to sway you into the light, you must want to do it yourself…

I meant in the comment section talking to peeps, hahaha
