if you've been paying any attention
to Jimmy Dore's YouTube channel,
you probably noticed that the vast
majority of content he's putting
out there calls into question
the efficacy of the vaccine.
The coronavirus vaccine.
And there are a bunch
of intentional lies [LAUGH] in
his coverage.
And this one streamer and
YouTuber named Shaun decided to
do a deep dive into Jimmy's content
on this very issue.
So, one of
the videos that we're about to
show you has just misleading or
outright lies for Jimmy's followers
in regard to the vaccine.
We have a bunch of different clips,
but let's start with the first
one and then I'll give you some
more context.
>> So the article starts out,
highly vaccinated Singapore is
battling a record wave of COVID-19
infections just as the city plans
to reopen to the world.
But Singapore's 80% vaccination
rate has kept severe cases and
deaths down.
Potentially proving that living
with the virus versus trying to
eradicate it is the surest path out
of the pandemic.
Now, here's how Jimmy Dore starts
reading the article.
>> On Monday,
Singapore recorded 1,647 cases of
COVID-19, bringing its seven
day daily average to 1,545 cases
higher than any other previous wave
of the pandemic.
>> So what he did there was skipped
the first paragraph, the one that
states that Singapore's high
vaccination rates has kept severe
cases and deaths down.
And he started reading at
the second paragraph talking about
the recent increase in Covid cases.
So he's avoided mentioning
the positive effects of the high
vaccination rate there.
>> Now, in a later clip will show
you how Jimmy Dore also edited what
was in the article in
the graphic that he reads.
But it's very clear here
that he intentionally omitted
the very paragraph that Shaun is
referencing here.
The one that talks about the high
vaccination rate and
how the vaccine protects people
from getting tremendously sick from
getting hospitalized, from dying.
Yes, there is still a possibility
of a so called breakthrough
infection, although the likelihood
of getting a breakthrough infection
is lessened, thanks to the vaccine.
But you can still get an infection.
And even if you do, the possibility
of you being hospitalized or
dying from coronavirus is just
completely minimized.
He intentionally left that
information out when he was sharing
his thoughts on that reporting.
>> Yeah, and I thought this guy,
Shaun, did a brilliant job with
the video and
we'll put the link down below.
You should watch the whole thing,
it takes a while but
it's really worth it.
So he has the receipts.
But the most interesting part of it
is why Jimmy does it, right?
And how he used to be in favor
of the vaccine and then you switch,
you see him
switch on video to being against.
Implying that he is against the
vaccine with plausible deniability.
And part of the reason he has to
deny that he is against it is to
not get banned by YouTube.
But the other reason is because
everybody knows that back when he
was pro vaccine,
he took the vaccine.
And just like all the other right
wingers now,
he's trying to trick his own
audience to risking their lives by
not taking the vaccine when he's
perfectly safe being vaccinated.
>> Because it has been pretty
profitable for him.
These are the types of videos that
tend to do really
well on his channel.
Now, in talking about the same
article, Shaun noticed that
the graphic that included
an excerpt from that article had
been edited in a very specific way.
Let's watch the video, so
you'll see how.
>> The article says throughout July
and August cases in Singapore
ticked up to over 100 per day after
nearly a year of almost no
infections due to the city's
previous zero tolerance policy.
Emphasis on the word
previous there,
then it goes on to say that policy
included stay at home orders,
intensive testing and so on.
Jimmy Dore's text says the speed at
which cases have climbed
despite policies,
including stay at home orders,
intensive testing and so on.
He snips out the sentence,
making it clear that these policies
were the previous policies,
the policies that were lifted and
he puts the word despite in there.
Now the word despite is not in this
paragraph in the original article
and this makes it seem like these
policies are current ongoing
policies.
He's rewriting what the article
says to make it say something
different.
>> Now, Jake,
you and I have both experienced
how Jimmy Dore show likes to take
things out of context.
And likes to edit video for
instance, to make things appear as
something that doesn't really exist
in reality.
That's his bread and butter,
that's what he does.
But he'll tell you that,
you can't blame him,
he's just a jagoff comedian, I mean
he doesn't know what he's doing.
So, he doesn't want to take
the blame for intentionally
misinforming his audience.
>> Yeah, now, I mean, look,
everything with him is
plausible deniability, right?
So I'm a Jagoff comedian
that shields me
from any legitimate critique.
But at the same time I'm the most
honest, the most research,
the one who knows all the truth.
So I'm the only one you should
trust, and
remember when I get everything
wrong, I'm just a jagoff comedian.
So but in this case it isn't about
getting it wrong and
that's why this video that Shaun
did is devastating.
So he starts with
the selective quoting,
we just gave you one example,
but Jimmy does it many times.
But that one you could say, well,
now hold on, that depends.
Not everybody's going to read the
whole, in fact no one is going to
read the whole article on there.
And you could pick quotes from
an article,
that everybody does that, right?
Now, when you take quotes that make
the article seemed like something
it's not, well, that's misleading.
And so Jimmy is definitely
doing that with this article,
as Shaun explains.
But even so the next layer, the one
we just showed you is totally
unacceptable by any measure or
standard.
When you change the words of
the article for to then say
the opposite of what it said,
because the word despite in that
edit changes the meaning to
the opposite of what the article
was actually saying.
So, there's no excuse for
that, that's just, I'm lying to my
audience on purpose and
I'm not telling them.
Like when you're doing quote,
you're supposed to do dot dot dot,
if you're changing certain things
there, he doesn't do that.
You're supposed to fix the grammar,
et cetera,
he doesn't do any of that, so
that people know,
this is not the whole quote.
But on top of that, when he adds
the word, despite, that changes the
meaning of what they were saying.
He is very purposely lying to you
guys and guys understand too.
That means, he thinks,
I can just lie to these guys,
there's schmucks,
they'll never figure it out.
>> Now, one other thing that stood
out in the, like the video that
Shaun did, really was well done.
It was just, I mean,
the research was impeccable.
But one of the things
that also stood out was the fact
that Jimmy Dore had very clearly
promoted Ivermectin for usage that
it was not approved for and
then turned around and denied it.
Okay, so here's the part of Shaun's
video that I'm referring to.
>> Now, did you hear me say
that Ivermectin has been proven to
treat Covid?
And that because it won the Nobel
Prize in medicine in 2015,
that means it could treat Covid.
I never said that, did I,
I didn't say anything like that.
>> So according to Jimmy Dore,
he's never said anything like
the claims in the article.
He's never said Ivermectin is
effective in treating Covid,
however, >> Widespread distribution
of Ivermectin proves effective,
In Mexico against COVID-19,
this has been suppressed.
And now we're finding out that
Ivermectin treats this, Covid,
that if you just use Ivermectin,
and by the way, this data has been
out there for a while.
>> I mean,
he also said something very similar
during his podcast with Joe Rogan.
And of course,
since that's Joe Rogan's property,
the video itself, Jimmy doesn't
have the privilege of deleting that
content from YouTube or
from Spotify.
And so that exists and
you can see it for yourselves.
So it's just, it's just hilarious
how he keeps finding himself in
these situations over and
over again.
He keeps embarrassing himself,
just very similar to what we
experienced with Dave Rubin.
He was a little bit more
sophisticated than Dave Rubin, but
not by much in the grift that he's
engaging in here.
>> Yeah, so there's different
layers of deception than
theirs why?
So in the case of Ivermectin,
usual deception that Jimmy and
Rogan and others do is,
it won the Nobel Prize,
it's also for humans, it's not just
for, Ivermectin not just for
horses, right?
But they don't finish the sentence.
Yes, but what did it win
the Nobel Prize for?
It didn't win it for
treating coronavirus.
It won it for treating warm,
tapeworm, whether it's in horses or
it's in humans, it's a de wormer.
It's like saying,
you know what's the best thing to
treat a coronavirus,
Albert Einstein,
why, he won the Nobel Prize,
he won the Nobel Prize.
That's why you've got
Albert Einstein pictures of him and
smear it all over yourself.
It's just as logical,
it makes no sense at all.
But yet when they do this
very simple thing of, like,
it's for humans and it won a prize.
Unfortunately, most of their
audience goes,
that's good enough for me,
I don't need logical reasoning.
But in this case Jimmy goes further
and he did say that Ivermectin was
effective in treating Covid,
you see it there.
And he knows he's lying, so
then he tries to delete, right?
And so that's the extra layer of
deception with Jimmy Dore.
So now why does he do it?
I think that's the most interesting
part of the story,
audience capture.
So you see his earlier videos and
the ones that were pro vaccine.
They do okay, they do okay, 50,000,
100,000, but mainly under 100,000.
And Shaun
shows it in the video, okay?
Then he does the anti vaccine
videos.
There's a lot more of them and
they're all over 100,000.
Some are 300,000 et cetera,
because a guy like Jimmy all he
cares about is the money Lebowski.
So [LAUGH], and he used to say when
he was on TYT also nobody ever gave
me money, I'd sell out.
He said that a lot of times and
I thought he was kidding because I
thought he was a comedian.
Well, wrong on both counts.
So as soon as he sees the video
is doing well, he's like,
who cares about what's true?
Who cares that I took the vaccine?
There's easy ways to turn
around here.
I took the vaccine but
I got a little pain in my neck.
My arm's a little sore,
I got a little crown, hey,
I don't want to be asked questions.
Just a jagoff comedian asked
questions, we've got 200,000 views.
Let's do it again step,
let's do it again,
we're going to make money.
That's Jimmy Dore, it's pathetic.
The one last thing on dumb Dore,
Hannah, >> Mm-hm.
>> So in case you don't know what
audience capture means is that, so
when Jimmy starts he first has
a left wing audience but then he
starts attacking left wingers, why?
Because he wants to
impress his left wing audience as
the most pure, the most left wing.
And so if he has insane ideas that
no one will ever do, then he says,
you see that they didn't do it
because they weren't pure enough.
But it's a lining, he's doing
a left wing racket, right?
But when he starts criticizing
the left wing so much,
right wingers start to come in and
watch his video.
So like, you're bashing AOC and
TYT and AMY Goodman.
And it is said,
we like this guy a lot, right?
And slowly his audience starts to
get more and
more right wing and then he says,
when I do the right wing ones,
the algorithm rewards me.
So he starts doing more and
more right wing videos but
he has that plausible deniability.
So he's like no, no,
no, no I'm still left winger.
Because part of the racket
is pretending to be a left winger
while being a right winger which
validates right wing feelings.
See, if he just came out and
said, I'm a right winger now,
it wouldn't be the same racket.
That's why Dave Rubin for so
long hung onto,
I'm a classical liberal something.
But the left winger was wrong about
everything, including gay rights,
take them all away from me,
right, and that was his record.
Now everybody's on the Davis
racket, so he's become boring,
Jimmy doesn't want to
become boring, so he's still
pretending to be left wing.
Now his audience, if you look at
any, now it's gotten so
bad since the majority of his
audience is right wing.
That when he does a left wing
video, it gets voted down and
he doesn't make,
it doesn't get as many views and
he doesn't make as much money.
So then he makes less and
less left wing videos and
what winds up at the end is he
takes good well meaning folks and
he treats them like dirt,
like they're not going to catch on
to this right?
And he shepherds them or she herds
them over to the right wing,
by pretending that the tough guys
saying the right thing.
The left wing thing is to not
listen to science, but only listen
to right wing demagogues, right?
And so at the end he makes more
money, the right wing gets some new
left wingers in their camp and
they love his videos.
And then he'll do that racket for
as long as he can until finally
he'll do the same thing as
Dave Rubin.
Well, look guys, I was getting on,
I was so frustrated,
I tried everything,
I could with the left wing,
but it just wouldn't listen.
So I had to move for Donald Trump.
But in jimmy's case he might extend
it enough to Donald Trump JR,
I had to, it wasn't my fault.
The left wing made me do it
by being so unreasonable,
they believe in scientists.
Can you believe it, scientists?
