Yes, but I would think if one is informative, he has the correct information. And if he is consistent, then he would be reliable.

Also, will you be able to know when you have reliable and consistent answers? Or, just what you may want and like.

Not necessarily. Funny this question came up in a course I was in. I used humor to demonstrate.
For example, if one were to say to me "was it over when the Germans attacked Pearl Harbour"?
Two things. I was correctly informed that Pearl Harbor was attacked but I was incorrectly informed that it was the Germans that did it. Its on me to check the information to determine it was actually the Japanese.

As for when I will be able to know? I'll wait for enough science to weigh in. Then again, nothing in science is final, just tentative and provisional. With respect to pharmaceuticals, if Pfizer stopped testing Sildenafil after discovering its use against pulmonary hypertension, where would we be? The world would be a softer place.

How Canadian Truckers Became the Symbol of Vaccine Resistance

A GoFundMe campaign for the truckers has raised more than $7.1m from over 112,000 donors.

Now this "freedom convoy" is disrupting daily life. Just like the antifa protests in the US last year. At some point a protest becomes criminal.

The GoFundMe contribution was removed because of violation of terms of service, and will be distributed for other legitimate causes.

Ottawa is now in a State of Emergency. That will give more power to police.

IMO, the city should enact a special law. How about a $1000 daily fine to each recalcitrant trucker?

The fundraiser was created to support the truckers that have travelled across Canada to Ottawa to participate in a protest against COVID-19 restrictions.

Sorry, I don't take Wikipedia to be a reliable source. I will use it occasionally for a quick reference but that's about it.
If you have another source, I am all eyes.

What of the references that the Wikipedia article cites?

Unfortunately, I don't have the time to audit the likes of Wiki although it would be an interesting project(am about to watch the "Dr Strange Love - or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb - Blu Ray.)

I can show you the below from Wikipedia itself. It's paradoxic but I cannot help that. Believe what you wish.

But didn’t you just ask about references for you to read?

We've been over this. While Wikipedia doesn't guarantee that any individual article is 100% accurate, that doesn't mean every individual article is 100% wrong, or even partially wrong. In Campbell's case, there are references cited which back up the conclusion that Campbell has made - accidentally or deliberately - incorrect or misleading statements in his YouTube videos pertaining to COVID. He is clearly an unreliable source on the topic, no matter how "informative" or "amusing" you find him.

Oh, the irony.

Maybe he was just asking about references for someone to get, not for him to read.


... and Wiki bad.

I found this exchange amusing.

I saw this funny cartoon in that twitter thread. Reminds me of some posters here.

Funny comic. I can't say, with confidence, that the below photo is real. Nor do I have the expertise to determine it is.
Maybe this photo would be better placed under the thread, "Covid Rules for thee, but not for me".
Of course, this photo, now all over the internet, could be misinformation. Let me go check under her wiki profile....quite interesting, I could not find a link to her popular romance novels there. No reviews for the ground breaking, "Art of Desire" also available in paperback. Also, nothing about this photo in Wiki yet, or the fact that she and the principle of the school deleted their tweets with this photo. It might be too early to make a judgment, I'll wait for more evidence. I'll check with Wiki later in the day for their updates.

Did someone say anything about that question coming from the movie 'Animal House'?

Ha, only a small number of the younger crowd realized it. It's on that list of non PC movies so they might have been unaware. Sad..

That should be required viewing.

Nice rebuttal.

Oh, wait. It's not a rebuttal, it's a deflection.

Thank you for your reminder, was lost in traffic.
Don't think I said wiki is 100% wrong, I use it myself for quick references.
Don't think I said Campbell is a "reliable" source on the topic. He is amusing to me and gives another point of view, whether he is right or wrong. Apparently, he was right when someone earlier pointed out visa vi the subject of Lockdowns.

"To slow activity till a vax arrives. The social and political repercussions of having done nothing. We exclude papers which analyze the effect of early lockdowns in contrast to later lockdowns. Ok. Why? (Campbell even concludes it wasn't worth the risk.).

So Campbell was right? Or are we to disregard his conclusion and conclude it is false because he is clearly an unreliable source on the topic. Oh, the irony. Oh the horror. I am quoting Col. Kurtz there in case you want to fact check that.

He's another opinion in a world of them.
