@JoeBrogan YES!!! I love hearing this type of information. Don’t be a sheeple and do your own research!! #Sueknowsthetruth

If u catch COVID-19 drink 250mL of ORGANIC orange juice per day! The juice’s ascorbic acid is ANTI-VIRAL. It kills the virus!!! Big pharma doesn’t want u to know this bc their vaccine wouldn’t make money! Check out my website (link in bio) to see how I use ascorbic acid in my research.

@PlainJaneAtHome So much safer than the store-bought stuff with all those chemicals added! YUCK! Thanks Sue! #Suetotherescue

Everyone is BEGGING me to share, so here is my recipe for ANTIBACTERIAL hand sanitizer, perfect against COVID: -3 parts aloe vera plant (organic is best) - 1 part rubbing alcohol or strong vinegar I also sell it on my website mixed with pure anti-viral substances like Cymbopogon nardus and Helichrysum gymnocephalum for ultimate safety!! Check my website for research on these add-ons.

@ConspiracyTheoryDude2000 The government can’t control us any longer. refreshing to see this from a health official like you Sue! Need that link!!

Thinking of getting the COVID-19 vaccine? THINK AGAIN! The newest vaccine has mRNA, which gets into your cells, making u a FACTORY for the virus. You’ll start pumping out this virus which is exactly what the government wants so they can stay in control of our freedom! Don’t be a sheep—say NO to this “vaccine”. Comment and I’ll send a link to my research!!!

ENTER THE ANSWER code number

Sue is trying to lure in her readers. She posts about emotional topics: vaccines and COVID-19. Her logo, company, and title make her seem like a health expert but we don't really know if she is qualified to give medical advice. Sue also uses CAPITALS and exclamation points to stir up strong emotions like fear or anger. By the looks of her comment section, it seems like her shady methods are working. The more comments there are agreeing with her, the more we are influenced to feel the same.

The Science of Satire

Misinformation and Me

Maybe the books have clues after all...

Hover your cursor to see an example of political satire. The sign does not really exist; it has been made to criticize how childish politics can be.

A type of media that uses humor and wit to exaggerate real life. Satire exposes or criticizes the bad behaviour of a person or an organization.
Satire is not meant to be taken as truth.

What is Satire?

return to library

Hover your cursor to see an edited photo of a Discovery Centre scientist. For fun, she shared the photo to Instagram on Halloween. People now think the Discovery Centre has a live bat show.

False information that is spread regardless of whether the person sharing it meant to trick others. It is often spread by mistake.
Misinformation can cause real harm to people and to society.

What is Misinformation?

return to library

Hover your cursor to see an image of Galileo, one of the most famous skeptics of all time. He challenged the once widely accepted, but incorrect, idea that the Sun revolved around the Earth.

When someone doubts or questions information because they feel they need more convincing evidence.
Skeptics use critical thinking and deep questioning to challenge what is seen as normal or accepted by society.

What is Skepticism?

Hover your cursor to see a banner for a fake documentary that spread on social media. The film was shared to spread false information about the COVID-19 pandemic.

A type of false information that is spread with the specific purpose of fooling people. It is often spread through social media.

@WhyImmunizeCAThere's no evidence to support this claim. Ascorbic acid is just Vitamin C and cannot protect you or those around you from COVID-19. Masks, physical distancing, handwashing and the vaccine are the best ways to stop the spread.

@WhyImmunizeCAThis is false. Yes, the vaccine has messenger RNA that will enter your cells. There, the mRNA tells cells to make a small part of the virus called the spike that cannot make you sick but helps train your immune system to remember and fight it. The mRNA can't reach the nucleus of the cell, where your DNA is safely stored.

@WhyImmunizeCAHealth Canada does not recommend making hand sanitizer at home. This recipe would not even meet requirements if we did – sanitizers should contain at least 60% alcohol. To date, there are no hand sanitizers in Canada approved with COVID-19 claims. Please, don't make or buy this product.

BACK

www.novasuehealth.org/buythecure

Years of health influencer training as the CEO of Nova Sue Health brought me to this moment. Vaccines should stop illness 100% of the time but they don't so I had to make my own cure. After finding the right combination of pure, natural ingredients, we trialed my cure with a 100% rate of success across all infectious disease. Data doesn't lie!!! It saved me from COVID-19 and I even tried it out on my own mother and she did not get sick once during the trial. We have the highest standards so you can trust us over those government-funded "experts" who just want to take away our freedom by letting us get sick.
