What people who seek out alternative news sites don't seem to realise about mainstream news sites, is that they are mainstream for a reason - which is that they tend to be reliable in their reporting and their sources.

If you read a story that is bizarre, the best thing to do is to Google key words from that story and see if you find a corroborating source. There would at least be one mainstream source that would have picked up on a story this awful if it were true.

Do you think doctors and nurses don't have or want children that they would keep this a secret?

The so-called alternative news sites peppering Facebook, don't tend to care about facts or responsible reporting. It's no different from the "My Mother Slept With an Alien" stories that supermarket tabloids used to be cluttered up with.

That ex-doctor, a rabid Ivermectin pusher, is a nut case with an axe to grind because he's been banned from working in Canadian hospitals due to his unethical medical practises.

He has been spreading highly exaggerated false claims about stillbirths to gullible conspiranoids and media outlets that promote extreme right-wing content.

Here's what health authorities here in BC have to say about his false claims about covid vaccines causing stillbirths:

The site I found the story on has been "debunked". Yet there are no specific stats from Ontario that contradict, just "we are confident that misinformation is out there" boilerplate.

Here is another report that mentions Scotland's rise in still births:

You have to get better sources. Linking an anti-vaxxer website with sensational tabloid like headlines doesn't carry any currency here.

You need to read articles more carefully. That report about Scotland is not about stillborns, it's about live newborns that have died after being born. And it says nothing about it being suspected of being related to vaccines or covid. In fact the report says this:

"There are currently no details on what caused the deaths of the 21 newborns. September coincided with a surge in A&E attendance and an outbreak of RSV virus, however, it is clear that none of the deaths were due to COVID-19.

There has been no mention of how many of the mothers were vaccinated or whether the COVID vaccines played a role
."


I agree with Natnasci, if you're going to post reports you have to get better and more credible sources to post here, and read them through first before posting them here so you won't make yourself look silly. Posting news from anti-vaxxer, extreme right-wingers or conspiranoids or extreme religious content and sensationalistic tabloid types of websites doesn't cut it here.

Looking silly or not using "mainstream" sources cuts no ice with me. Yet, criticism of my hasty posting is true & thus helpful, so will pay closer attention. Tnx.
