Pro-Orbán “propaganda mouthpiece” MCC was awarded £57m in dividends from Hungary’s state oil company MOL just before the election. MCC was previously gifted 10% stake in MOL by Orbán’s govt in 2020, worth over $1.3bn. MCC then used this 💵 to push Orbán’s ideas. MCC also has close links to Reform UK

Since They Won’t Remind You, Here’s What Drs. John Ioannidis, Jay Bhattacharya, and Scott Atlas, Actually Said 6 Years Ago The next time these doctors claim they were right, let's remind them exactly what they claim to have been right about.

As part of my efforts to combat the COVID Amnesia Project, let's accurately remember what 3 influential laptop class doctors from Stanford said 6 years ago as COVID overflowed hospitals and morgues.

They won't remind you.

I will.
