I have asked a handful of times, here and there, how come Natural News is not credible and to provide examples, and no one does. So what is wrong with Natural News? What did they report incorrectly?
So here we go, all of the other sources, including Sloan Kettering are ignored, because of one supposed "bad source."
I have never read anything wonky or wrong at Natural News. They are revealers of truth.
Mike Adams owns and writes for Natural News and well over 100 other “related” web sites that all reference the same stories so it LOOKS LIKE multiple sites have picked up the story and run with it.
I contracted to a similar company back in 2014-2015 to build data centers for them. Their main business was this kind of thing on steroids....all for the eyeballs generating ad revenue. They had over 800 domains with at least 250 of them active while I was there.
Dead giveaway that you may be dealing with such a web site that cares more about attracting eyeballs for ad revenue than truthful articles is when you see a lot of the same, often "out there", advertisements for questionable products and services as you scroll down thru the website. They get paid for you just SEEING the ad (called an "impression") whether you click on it or not (they get paid more if you do click on it...that's called a click-thru). If you actually buy any of their products, woohoo even more money!
A prime way they grab you is to take a current event and embellish it a bit to make it more intriguing...they make up crap out of whole cloth in an effort to suck you in and then hope you share it on social media (or places like TB2K) with the link back to their story so they increase the eyeball count seeing their ads.
Oh, the things I could share about this "industry".
This is what he did in this specific case. The Sloan Kettering article is from 2018, well before Covid or the vaccines. While it mentions mRNA it was Mike Adams who took the liberty to make the connection with the vaccines and created his own version of the truth i.e. created the intrigue that would generate "discussion" and draw eyeballs to his web sites generating ad revenue. Sloan Kettering has not published anything making this connection.
The 250 click-bait web sites I mentioned were related to the company I was building data centers for in 2014-2015. They were doing the same thing that Mike Adams does to generate ad revenue across their many cross-linked web sites...intentionally embellishing real stories and events to gain interested viewer traffic to pump ad revenue. The company was making millions of dollars a month in profits and it was their ONLY income stream. Other than the cost of the data centers and the people to embellish the articles, their primary expense was buying Google ad words to drive traffic to these sites on a targeted basis. They made 2-3 Google ad words buys each day spending 10s of thousands of dollars each time.
As long as the ad revenue generated exceeded the Google ad word expense they made a nice gross profit which they gave to the employees in the form of 30% to 60% bonuses. Many of the employees salaries were already north of $100K BEFORE the bonuses.
This is a whole subculture on the web. MANY companies do this to accomplish nothing more than generating ad revenue. They couldn't care less about the truthfulness of what they write as long as it trended and drew in those eyeballs.
Discernment is key.
NaturalNews.com and vaccines.news, the referenced links in the article in the OP, are both owned by Mike Adams.
Take a look at:
Rand Paul News | Rand Paul News & Updates
Gorsuch News | Gorsuch News – Gorsuch Information
Vote Fraud News | Vote Fraud News – Vote Fraud Information
Notice the identical format? These are also Mike Adams web sites.
Another common format:
Trump News | Trump News
White House News | White House News
Also Mike Adams sites. Notice they are all linked in the top banner of each site.
Here is a link that details Mike Adams-owned domains which is as of 2015, six years ago but has been updated a bit along the way. He has many more domains today. Some of the ones below are now dormant 6 years later. He posts the same article on multiple of these web sites and then cross-references them to make it look like different web sites have picked up the story.
NaturalNews.com is only the prominent tip of a very large iceberg of an alternative fake news media empire owned entirely by Mike Adams along with his business partner and wife, Sheh Lio Adams (a.k.a. Horng Lio Sheh and Sherhorn Kio Adams).[2][3] They have built an elaborate and weirdly complex...
