“If You Hear These Words, It’s Propaganda” Veteran CBC and CTV journalist Rodney Palmer speaks at the Allison Inquiry about the language used to dismiss people who challenged the prevailing Covid-19 narrative. In this clip, Palmer examines terms such as “anti-vaxxer,” “conspiracy theorist,” and “misinformation,” and the way labels can be used to discredit people rather than engage with what they are saying. His testimony also reflects on his own experience as a journalist and the importance of allowing Canadians to hear different perspectives and examine the evidence for themselves. Watch the clip. Listen to what Rodney Palmer has to say. Recorded at the Allison Inquiry, Day 4, September 11th, 2026.

So those who chose not to take an experimental drug are condemned for doing their research ahead instead of after?

CBC is bought and paid for, same as all other MSM. The Liberals tell them what stories they can share. The propaganda machine keeps plugging away.

Rodney Palmer we really need to have a talk. Antivaxxer, conspiracy theorist, and misinformation exist as labels for a reason. I think of the conventional journalist as someone who should hold the highest regard for the facts of the situation, so I will illustrate how the Allison Inquiry has fallen flat. The Inquiry has already invited actual antivaxxers to their platform such as @P_McCulloughMD . He has said on record he believes all vaccines are bad, which is an actually unreasonable take on pediatric medicine. The people who have testified on the physician panel are conspiracy theorist adjacent, and people like Thorp, in the manner of conspiracy theorists everywhere, have clamored for the murder of people who disagree with them. The physician panel has also spread loads of different pieces of misinformation (especially @SenRonJohnson ) because it furthers their political motives. Example: COVID vaccine doesn't stop transmission so it is useless. Actual nuance: COVID vaccine stopped transmission well in the beginning before the more infectious variants came along. The flat earther looking for credibility in a physics conference should rightfully be laughed out of the room. Patients looking to get actual healing deserve the highest committment to factual accuracy - for example, myocarditis should be diagnosed early and treated aggressively, not be sent to the Mccullough papaya spike detox protocol. That is just desperate patients being taken advantage of by expensive supplement salesmen. If you find a physician not willing to stand by factual accuracy we are basically back in the Wild West times and willingly throwing away medical advances. Takehome: Patients denied financial compensation should truly be reinstated the compensation. Patient should also be shielded as much as possible from the grifters. Physicians as a collective have seen grifting in every subspecialty. It never ends well.
