In May -- after Trump said there'd be a COVID vaccine by year's end -- MSNBC put on its medical expert, @IrwinRedlenerMD, to assure viewers that it was *impossible* -- not unlikely, but "impossible" -- for there to be a safe and effective vaccine ready before 2021. pic.twitter.com/tLCM8ILHUg

CNN's @JessicaHuseman (of @propublica) also confidently assured everyone Trump was wrong & there could not be any vaccine by year's end.

Obviously, all they cared about was telling anti-Trump partisans what they wanted to hear, not the truth.https://t.co/9tZOdHv8Kv
So both MSNBC and CNN analysts spread extreme mistrust about the impossibility of the COVID vaccine that has now arrived -- purely for their own selfish ends. They spent 4 years saying *anything*, without regard if it was true, just to feed anti-Trump fanatics what they wanted.

Now with the election over, MSNBC's @IrwinRedlenerMD is pronouncing the vaccine safe & encouraging everyone to take it: what he said six months ago was *impossible*. Is @JessicaHuseman going to take this vaccine?https://t.co/nvBrII76NW

In a separate tweet, Dr. Redlener claims he was "wrong" about this. He wasn't "wrong." That implies a good faith effort to get it right.

His job, like everyone on MSNBC, was so to spread disinformation to help Dems & keep the MSNBC audience addicted to endorphins & fear. 👇 pic.twitter.com/cZ4MrXI0ZE
There is no reasonable debate about this: the greatest and most destructive source of "disinformation" are not the random citizens on 4Chan & Facebook that NBC's "disinformation team" so bravely doxes.

It's these corporate media outlets. Disinformation is their function.
