One more act against the propagandistic indoctrination of Maarten Keulemans, a mole pretending to be a science journalist. I always try to keep it tidy, but Keulemans gets the blood out from under my nails time and time again with his hypocritical 'I-don't-know-anything-I-follow-it-rivm'.
On February 10, he wrote a column about the "unnecessary scrubbing of shopping carts". He referred to an article from The Lancet that had already been published more than half a year earlier (!) – about matter that was already known in microbiology in 2013. What has Maarten been doing in the past six months? The past decade then? I have an idea, but doing science journalism wasn't one of them. As a 'corona reporter' you should be on top of that.
Maarten is missing again, that is striking
This week (May 24) he again exposed himself very much. Now with the column "We may have washed our hands for nothing, but no one says it out loud". There are so many lies in it that I have to mention a few.
- “No one says it out loud" Seriously!? We have known for a year That contact infections are negligible, so that the measures are not good, the great danger is in aerosols. And then that thug claims that no one says that out loud...!? No one is saying that the measures are inadequate? That hasn't been trying to honk in his ear for a year either!? Not even someone to whom he has responded several times and whom he has tried to dismiss as a charlatan? In a newspaper that makes a Nazi caricature of him as a manipulative Jew? What a liar, what a hypocrite, what a coward, I have no words for this.
- Six months ago, he wrote about his unnecessarily scrubbing of shopping carts. (Bad enough that he had fallen for that scam in the first place). That doesn't trigger a thought process for him. After all, he had long since concluded from that knowledge - if only as a hypothesis - that obsessive hand washing will not help much. With a little sense you know that excessive hygiene can even be harmful, especially with the use of disinfectants (which, by the way, help better against bacteria than against viruses).
Regular hand hygiene, before eating, before and after toilet use is really good. But I wouldn't be surprised if people have become infected during prolonged hand-scrubbing in a poorly ventilated toilet room. Look, you're talking about a concept that you understand and can possibly exchange ideas about. Keulemans doesn't have that understanding; he doesn't "see" it. There is no hope for him, first his whole environment will have to wake up and then he will be one of the last. - His inspiration never comes from a train of thought. He has substantive no added value And that is precisely why it is useful, for example in the pre- and in-massage of government announcements. After all, he reaches the general public through the renowned newspaper for which he works, under a spineless editorial board – ideal. The newspaper acts as the mouth of the government, as the editor-in-chief announced when he explained on Radio1 that they are together started talking with one mouth, including the text of this article, also as a Dutch version.
- You play someone a report and ask them to pass it on and they do. That covers the title "reporter". But not every information-errand boy is a "journalist", even in a year like the last; For that you would have to have seen or come up with a scoop yourself. (scoop = scoop of a newsworthy fact). Something groundbreaking done, something brought to light... none of that.
It seems as if there is nothing that can trigger a thought process at Keulemans. Unless rivm does something lyrical (or maybe wakes him up to pass it on), then suddenly a thought process starts: "Oh I have to do another piece of copy-paste to support the rivm's story. Let's report." He himself writes that this is the reason:
"Last week, rivmpublic texts have been adapted, and there's something new there now."
Maarten Keulemans reveals his muse
Keulemans, on the other hand, should have long ago insisted on the fact that rivm lacks fundamental knowledge, that they flout scientific principles. There are things missing from the 'public texts' that should have been there for a year. Keulemans wrote six months ago that contact infections are unimportant and will keep his mouth shut until rivm reluctantly shuffles a millimeter towards aerosols again. Bah. It just takes lives.
This 'journalist' is the slip-bearer par excellence, slavishly following what his landlords proclaim. He doesn't say things that, especially by people in his position, should be said. That's an underhanded form of lying.
Maarten first scrubbed shopping carts, then his hands – when will it be the turn of that massive shelf in front of his head?
