What is?

It's unfortunate that people with true information find themselves ostracized because others spread misinformation about covid/vax creating an assumption that anybody with something negative to say about covid is full of shit. Hope her son's recovery goes well.

No... How about specific names of the sources you would use.

OK. The DIRECT source of information, which is a ridiculously huge list. How about-
Sources could be (direct links to): autopsy reports; clinical studies, peer-reviewed medical studies, empirical evidence of various forms (medical textbooks, medical journals, death records, census, vital events registry, hospital records, disease registry, insurance records, population surveys, vital records, research papers).

Sources should not be: sharing a website's (that is known to spread misinformation and lies) "take" on a medical study, a tweet made by a rapper who claims her cousin in Barbados was sterilized by the vax, a YouTube video made by a junior accountant who did and "efficacy study" on masks and proved they don't work, personal anecdotes that are taken as representing the national population.

Avoid bias and potential skewing of information, and post a link to the proof itself.

Kind of like not accepting a manufacturer's review of their own amplifier as being the "best in class". There MIGHT be a bias there. Just like there might be bias at the www.earthisflat.com website. It's highly unlikely they would post empirical evidence that proves Earth is indeed not flat.
Fair?

Masks, social distancing, isolation while sick, etc, weakens the immune system. An unfounded and excessive fear of covid made people act irrationally and took us out of the natural social environment to exercise our immune systems, which was all part of the plan to further weaken our health

‘Experts have repeatedly warned lockdowns and measures used to contain Covid like face masks also suppressed the spread of germs which are crucial for building a strong immune system in children.’

More toddlers are being hospitalized with colds, CDC reports says

Can you provide peer-reviewed studies and empirical evidence?
The key takeaway form the article you posted is in the first paragraph: "official data suggests". I could say "official data suggests lizard men live among us". If I wanted someone to believe it, maybe I'd give proof instead.
They also say "the report only looked at August 2021". Not a very big sampling of data to reach a conclusion, huh?
They also say "This level was also comparable to the winter months when more than 30 per cent of patients regularly have the virus."

'Sure seems like the Daily Mail is reaching a conclusion that isn't quite matching the empirical evidence. But the headline meets your chosen narrative, so it's all good. Right?

Just 2 of several I've read about over the years. Some were dumb enough to brag about it on Social media

Opinion | A doctor said he won't treat patients who didn't get the Covid vaccine. Can he do that?

Taking vaccination status into account when deciding whether to treat a patient can be acceptable — sometimes.

www.nbcnews.com

Dr. Jason Valentine, a family medicine physician at the Diagnostic and Medical Clinic Infirmary Health in Mobile, Alabama, informed his patients this month that, effective Oct. 1, he would no longer treat those who hadn’t been vaccinated against Covid-19. Around the same time, a leaked memo indicated that the North Texas Mass Critical Care Guideline Task Force was considering whether to take Covid vaccination status into account in deciding who gets ICU beds when more of them are needed than are available.

The article is over a year old. I wonder if his position has changed now that Omicron is the dominate strain?

Given his brain damage and how it affected his decision-making regarding the abortion, he’s the perfect candidate.

No Rob. Not the information... I want you to list just ONE reputable source of news that YOU trust to report the types of information you listed. Just one, should be easy.

$500 to $1,000? Good job.

I don't watch the news. It's infotainment to fill airtime and make revenue from commercials. It's privately owned and that means they can inject their own spin and opinion. That's an op/ed, not news reporting, and some "news" providers are far worse than others.

If I were to see any "news" that I was going to pay attention to as important, I would take it as opinion/speculation until I could verify.

Of all the sources out there, one I might trust more than others is the WSJ for its finance reporting.

Yes, doubling $500 results in $1,000.
The first time you've gotten math correct here so far. Good job!

I made 5x that on BP alone. GM was insane, but I didn't risk as much there as I should have. But, a profit is a profit.

So you are using your feelings to determine that "the news" is infotainment. So even if a news source sites nothing but information like the list you gave, you will ignore the facts they show if they have any kind of words to add to the broadcast? You will choose to ignore those sources based on your feelings.

Rob, this is a car audio website. This is NOT a source of facts if you will. There is no need for you to engage in conversation regarding anything factual here as this would just be another "infotainment" source. Are you going to be a hypocrite or are you going to push the ignore button?
