I'm genuinely worried about the guy. I still see him as a human and he really doesn't look well.

Because I'm interested in what you're idea of a valid question is
I have no interest in JPs idea because it's all just a game for him
Cool but I don't read your comment as that
It's heading into the mental illness dismissal which i think he's just a grifting campaigner mostly

He doesn't seem interested in a discussion at all. I have heard of this Destiny character but never seen anything of his so I don't know if he's got history. He seems famous from what I can tell.
But yeah - more Jorpy rapid fire attack without a care if he's right or not, so long as he gets seen to be in a fight with a "woke" YouTuber.

He posited that the "new, different" nature of the mRNA vaccines made them inherently possibly dangerous (plausible) but ignored the efforts that went in to showing they were just as safe /effective as other vaccines. The commentator described them as mere "talking points" without substance which I think summed it up well.
The problem is not so much that he has no expertise in the field, more that he refuses to use any expertise he would have, ie how to apply the scientific method or analyse basic data
Just a shitshow now.
Nor do most people, but they can still engage in purposeful conversation on the topic.

It's 50% entertainment to see him try his angry little man act and have someone write down what he says and cheerfully say "I don't think that's right but I'll check it out."
Spouting shit about 20% excess deaths etc, then Funk puts up data showing he's lying.
Spouting shit about myocarditis, Funk puts up data showing he's lying.
Spouting shit about "latest studies" Funk puts up the studies showing Jorpy is wrong.

Ohh jeepers. In which part of that video that you didn't watch is he pretending to be an authority?
I don't know why you bother with this thread to be honest. You have no chance of understanding my point because you won't engage with it in good faith. So to dismiss it is pretty disrespectful.
But you get the notification that there's been some action in this thread, take no time to take any of the new posts in, and then go telling us again for the thousandth time he is only in it for the money.
It's fair if you think he is not worth any intellectual effort on your part, I get that. But if that's the case, why keep coming back?
It's a little boring.
Funk's commentary actually makes this good, I was dubious about putting time into watching it but I liked how concisely he refuted points which, it had to be said, are not unique to JP so have a broader appeal for refutation.
I guess I don't take sides and play the man as hard as you do. That is not intended as a barb but more a genuine perception of our difference here.
As a thought experiment, I would look at that video and imagine it was a bot we had never met before saying what he says. Some of it would be believed by many people, some of it has skerricks of validity, and as such the rebuttals are worth listening to
But yeah, I understand that you've just had enough of him and he's in the bin as far as you are concerned. Waste of time. I guess my comparison would be all the flat earth shit I get on FB for some reason. I could engage, refute, etc but yeah life's too short so I just keep hitting that X.
