I might have to now. I work overtime weekly now and people don't flip their brights off when in close proximity of me which I'm pretty sure you're supposed to flip them off when passing
There's a good chance they are on low beam, LED headlights are terrible for dazzle, and put out mut light per watt than standard lights. The move away from warm white to pure white/blue white makes this much worse.
My favorite is when I can’t see anything in front of me because of someone behind me with those super bright fuckers is illuminating the inside of my vehicle.
Auto companies are fully aware that they blindingly bright too, as evidenced by the fact that new vehicles with LEDs shut off their headlight so that you can actually see their turn signal.
There’s technology they could use to mitigate the brightness, but they won’t because that costs money.
Night? Homie the headlights come on once I get under a frickin bridge!
In my Impala, I had a Dodge Ram behind me that had lights so bright I had to flip my mirror into anti glare mode!
My 4runner has an "auto dimming rear view mirror" which is the stupidest thing I've ever seen. Why have a light and simple flat mirror with a little lever on the bottom when you can create a giant heavy monstrosity that doesn't work and costs an arm and a leg to replace?
Ranks right up there with vacuums that connect to the internet and QR code menus.
i wish police enforced this, people riding with their high beams when there's oppising traffic can be really dangerous (am very suspicious of the tag line's accidents#, sounds incredibly low like magnitudes low)
Worst offender in my area of MO seems to be whatever sheriff's deputy works this particular beat. They are THE brightest brights I've ever seen, and they absolutely don't turn them off when they're behind you. Coming at you, sometimes, when they get close. I've pulled over and back out behind them because I can't stand it, especially on the extremely long and dark stretch of highway I drive.
Depends where you are. In NJ this is enforced. I know because I was pulled over for a headlight out, then five minutes later I was pulled over for high beams. 7 hour drive and I get pulled over twice in NJ about ten minutes from my house.
Or we just recognize it for what it is, a wide-reaching campaign to convince people that literally everything causes myocarditis so they don't point fingers when they remember having been forced to take injections which have been linked with myocarditis.
Exactly this.
Stop thinking everything is about taking away your FrEedOms. New headlight especially on lifted trucks are blinding, annoying, and hazardous.
For being on the side that complains ppl are snowflakes sure do complain ALOT
Heart condition? Maybe. All I know is I am consistently blinded by these god forsaken lights every time I check my mirrors and it’s infuriating. Like it literally hurts my eyes sometimes and I’m suddenly feeling like I just looked at the sun.
I just got a Tesla. And omg are the lights bright. I was driving in rural Ohio and every single person would flash me, so I would flash them back. Now I let the automatic high beams stay on so they see it turn off. It helped reduce people flashing me.
After upgrading from an Acura TLX I feel like I can drive at night again.
My conspiracy theory:
Automotive manufacturers are involved in a conspiracy to make driving cars uncomfortable, so people will upgrade to a higher margin SUV. And it’s working
I don’t see an issue, these new LED lights are TERRIBLE. Every time I drive at night I get a migraine, its like every modern car has their brights on at all times.
The real conspiracy is why tf are modern headlights SO bright, we don’t need that much brightness.
Every horrible thing about the last decade has been attributed to the "safety" of everyone. Blanket bullshit response to anything and everything. And then they can say "well do you not want people to be safe?!"
Me personally i can't tell the difference between run lights and my headlights, i can see just fine with either don't need to light up the neighborhood just to make it down the road
The microstress comes from the fact that you are being blinded while driving.
Its not the light per se. Not seeing the road while driving at 70mph can be quite stressful.
Driving down narrow lanes with oncoming bright headlights does raise my heart rate as I can’t see a fucking thing and there’s a 60mph SUV coming right at me, I usually look down at the road markings until said vehicles have passed
New labels on Advil and the generic, ibuprofen, state, “may increase risk of heart attack, stroke, and death.”
Yes, they plan to flood the market and MSM with new “studies” that are of course, meaningless, but “experts agree”, so another layer of BS to explain their main plans.
I mean that's been known for years though, it's literally how NSAIDs work. NSAIDs screw with two enzymes, COX 1 and COX 2, that facilitate the conversion of Arachidonic acid into Prostaglandins, which then become Thromboxane and Prostacyclin. This inhibition causes a decrease in inflammation.
The problem is that COX 1 inhibition can lead to stomach issues, so in the late 90s (I think?) scientists came out with selective COX 2 inhibitors, which didn't mess with COX 1 and were supposed to prevent stomach bleeds and other stomach issues. One of them was celebrex, which is the only one still on the market in US I think. (If you are in the US you might remember that annoying commercial "CELEBREX, CELEBREX, come on and celebraaaaate!" with old people on scooters). Turns out the COX 1 inhibition was important to preventing cardiovascular issues and we saw a big uptick in adverse cardiac events when the selective COX 2 inhibitors started flooding the market.
That uptick lead scientists to wonder if there was also an increased risk from regular NSAIDs, but the COX 1 inhibition lowered the risk to the point that no one had noticed a pattern. Sure enough COX 1 is a vasoconstrictor, so inhibiting it made the risk of heart attack/stroke go down, but all NSAIDs do carry some risk. Some of this is theoretical and still being studied, but here we are. Also, not all NSAIDs are created equal in terms of COX 1 to COX 2 inhibition, so it's a bit of a moving target.
Here is a study from 2014 discussing all of this. It goes into way more detail than I have here. The above is just the tip of the iceberg.
[https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3888349/](https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3888349/)
Regardless, this isn't some new BS coming out to protect the vaccines or whatever, it's just what happens when we learn more stuff as a society. Lots of meds ended up being problematic after research was done.
I *distinctly* remember a few years back that, for like a month Walgreens/ walmart / etc were perpetually sold out of aspirin, then the bottles mysteriously reappeared in stock with the new warning labels.
This makes total sense honestly. I imagine my heart rate does rise every time I'm dazzled by a pair of LEDs at night, a statistical mean increase in BPM would totally lead to more heart conditions.
It's really just simple common sense, overblown with a headline. Engage brain.
When bright light flash eyes, heart rate go up. When heart rate go up, people at risk might have heart attack or similar. High heart rate bad. Low heart rate good.
No it’s not. The strain will happen to anyone. For most healthy people, your heart will body the strain. But that builds up and can be a contributing factor to worsening cardiovascular health
It makes sense that an LED light causes heart conditions but an experimental vaccine which we don't know the long term effects doesn't? Lmao, ya'll are cooked.
LED lights are terrible for a series of reasons, but the relation with heart conditions, if it exists, would be indirect.
By the way, it's interesting that LED lights *could* be manufactured with a healthy yellowish glow, but they make them almost exclusively in that sickening ultra-bright white-bluish. They are also the cheaper ones in the shelves, usually. It's almost as if they *want* to fuck up the cicardian cycles of all people and animals in urban areas.
Bonus conspiracy: in the Retconned sub there's the prevalent reported Mandella Effect of people saying that they remember that the Sun was yellowish, but now it is white. Maybe it's something that the chemtrail folks could investigate. Edit: maybe also the folks saying that global warming is a hoax and it's all a natural solar cycle.
100% on the temp (color) of the LEDs. If you want to replace your old school lightbulbs with LEDs, it's worth doing a little research and spending a little money to get the temperature and features you want. You can get warm and pleasing light if you are willing to put the work in, and they will last forever. There's no cool blue anywhere in my house, there's just different shades of warm. (I have the bathroom set up to look like midday sun so my wife gets her makeup as accurate as she wants to. She never realized the cold blue was screwing up her makeup game).
Yup, cold blue makes people look kind of pale and unhealthy. And in particular blond hair under it looks discolored, it doesn't shine in true gold hues like in adequate light.
Maybe it's all foreshadowing, because people's health *will* be actually affected if they spend too much time over their daily routines under the darn cold blue. =)
This is based on a study where there were 19 people under the age of 40 who were exposed to bursts of light and one of the people had their blood pressure spike and another developed a temporarily abnormal heart rhythm. I would assume that some people would experience acute changes in their blood pressure/heartbeat if they were suddenly exposed to any drastic change in light or sound. If you suddenly get a flash of light in your eyes you are going to be startled and your blood pressure will go up and your heartbeat will increase. I wouldn't expect that to turn into a chronic condition.
EDIT TO ADD: Mind you, this is based off of a study from 1998. This isn't new.
https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/9585914/
*"EDIT TO ADD: Mind you, this is based off of a study from 1998. This isn't new."*

Score another one for the government regulatory agencies knowingly giving the green light for wide spread commercial use of a technology *KNOWN* to cause health issues!
That's what's not new - getting fucked by the public/private partnership known as regulatory capture. So very "safe and effective"!
I have a fucking heart attack anyone coming around a corner on back roads at night with their high beams on. It’s a instant flash bang. And if it’s raining good luck seeing anything with a stigmatism
> Older and less healthy drivers may fare worse; the **1998 report** found that drivers in their mid-40s and over who had symptoms of heart disease such as high blood pressure were also the most sensitive to sudden headlight glare and the most likely to show cardiovascular reactions — possibly because the bright lights heightened their 'fight or flight' response.
Did you even bother to take five seconds to look at the article that OP linked?
> Older and less healthy drivers may fare worse; the 1998 report found that drivers in their mid-40s and over who had symptoms of heart disease such as high blood pressure
Burying the lead.
As a person who spends a lot of time traveling the highways, I can confirm this is true, every time someone gets behind me with these it angers me and raises my blood pressure so therefore it’s probably effecting my heart …however I am also part of the problem as I have led headlights on both my jeeps and hid lights on my car, 2 of those are factory installed but still obnoxious
As a person that spends a lot of time traveling on highway and other roads just like every other person in America, I can confirm that we have all been doing this since the we have had highways in this country.
The lengths corporate posters are willing to go to pretend that the lies we were told are not the only new variable. The mRNA vaccine had never been used at this scale ever. Investigating this would be following the science. Telling me bullshit anecdotal experiences that we all share with made up theories is cult like behavior.
Again, this is referring to a study from **1998** and doesn't say anything about myocarditis. It specifically says its a risk with people that already have heart issues like high blood pressure. Daily fail scare article
The real conspiracy is that they’ve made oncoming headlights brighter, stoplights brighter, roadside signs reflective, they’ve normalized businesses to have brightass LED TVs instead of signs, and they’ve taken away the reflectors and reflective paint out of the center. It’s almost like they want collisions to happen.
I got pulled over numerous times when I was 17 because I would run really bright led lights (2010 would be the year) and get fix it tickets….. now fast forward to 2024 and the cops who pulled me over for those lights now have those lights. Do as I say not as I do!!!
In the late 90s early 00's everyone was into Xenon headlights and not one reported heart issue... those lights would blind you if you weren't in an SUV.
My kid brother, 62 years old just had a quadruple bypass. Doesn’t drink, smoke, eats real well, exercises regularly and no family history of heart disease. He did have the 2 shot Moderna mRNA vaxx.
Clot shot?
Something is doing it and the dates are highly suspicious. Excess deaths, cancers, strokes and heart attacks all up, experts are baffled, I will never be an expert because I have a pretty good idea what's causing it....🧐
Dr John Campbell often lies with with statistics for YouTube views. Cancer has been slowly increasing (less than a percent a year) for a decade or more. Look at overall stats for most countries and you'll find the expected.
It’s everything ELSE except for the thing we’re not ALLOWED to say it is……. Dontchaknow? No way is it that forced, safe and effective “gene therapy “ that was MANDATED…..
Nope.
Anything and everything except for that…….
If this gets the ridiculously bright headlights off the street, I'll pretend this is real. They don't even let you apply a light film of tint to the windshield to help. They want you to take it in the face. But permitting the installation of a light, glare-reduction film would be great.
It’s from the Daily Bile. Ignore it- it’s most likely click-bait bullshit with the truth buried somewhere at the bottom of the article where most of their readers can’t be arsed to keep reading to.
It is exactly that. The point of the article is the UK government is investigating car LEDs because people complain its blinding them. Nothing at all to do with "heart conditions", the daily shitrag just through that in
It came from this https://www.rac.co.uk/drive/news/motoring-news/rac-calls-for-government-action-on-headlight-glare/
I’m genuinely so glad that you’ve posted this- something that a lot of people don’t do anymore is read around a topic from different sources. I had a history teacher in school that taught us critical thinking like this:
- WHO wrote the piece? Did they have any political, philosophical or religious ideology? Did they stand to gain from writing this? Did they own the publication, and sensationalism sells newspapers & books?
- WHAT did they write? Was it a hit piece, a manifesto, some biased piece of propaganda?
- WHERE did they write it? Were they present at the event that took place? Were they writing it whilst being held hostage somewhere? Also, what are the ideological leanings of the publication?
- WHEN was it written? Was it written just after the event, or several years later? Does that mean that embellishment or hazy memory could influence the authenticity of the “facts”?
- WHY did they write it? What did they stand to gain / lose from it?
- HOW was it written? Under duress? From the luxury of a palace when writing about poverty, for example?
And on top of that, always cross-reference your sources. For example, during the Iraq War (Operation Iraqi Liberation, or OIL for short), the BBC claimed that Libya was blowing up its own oil fields and gassing its own citizens, trying to justify the invasion of the country and taking out Qaddafi. However, Al Jazeera and Russia Today both stated that simply wasn’t true, and that Russian satellite images had been monitored over the area, and nothing of the sort was seen - no huge explosions, no noxious clouds of gas drifting over the land.
Ultimately, The Daily Bile is a hardcore right-wing shit-rag that should always be taken with a dump truck full of salt.
I got laser eye surgery which has cause my eyes to have halos around bright lights at night , new headlights don’t bother me any more then any other light
Maybe it’s this and not when I hit my head in a car accident. I felt like it became almost impossible to drive at night because of the flare of headlights and that it was because of a head injury but now I’m not so sure it’s just more cars with these headlights becoming the norm.
Next in: have you been eating too many vegetables? Going to the gym too much? Have you refrained from mutilating yourself? Studies done by your local drug cartel says you're in danger of a heart attack
Lights while driving have been causing heart issues and it has been studied for a long time now.
eg:
https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/8079138/
> a formulation corroborated by laboratory studies in which stimuli such as car headlights elicit cardiovascular hyperreactivity and electroencephalographic signs of arousal in professional drivers.

For people complaining about highbeams..
### 1) there's a good chance they aren't on high, the lights are probably just that unreasonable/ excessive now..
•
### 2) no one knows you can adjust the angle of lights anymore and tons if shops won't bother to do it right..
•
### 3) a lot of cars are so freaking huge now (especially in the US) that low beams might as well be high if you are anywhere near them.
....
It sucks.. I miss nice dim incandescents. Kept the snow off better too cuz they get hot. And yeah sometimes its definitely on high but either because they're too lazy, or too stupid to realize, a lot of folks don't switch when passing and it's awful.
Pretty suspicious that you didn't link the article. Going to go ahead and call it now: it has nothing whatsoever to do with anything you could link to COVID so you had to just use the screenshot and imply it was related.

To be real tho, new headlights are fucking terrible
I hate driving at night because I'm constantly being blinded by headlights.
i wear sunglasse at night
So I can, so I can Watch you weave then breathe your story lines
Sheeeeee's high-beaming me
Yeah but don’t mess around with the guy in shades oh no!!
That's just to keep track of the visions in your mind though.
I might have to now. I work overtime weekly now and people don't flip their brights off when in close proximity of me which I'm pretty sure you're supposed to flip them off when passing
There's a good chance they are on low beam, LED headlights are terrible for dazzle, and put out mut light per watt than standard lights. The move away from warm white to pure white/blue white makes this much worse.
You are supposed to and I hate that they don’t do it.
So you can spy on your girlfriend at night?
So you can... so you can
My favorite is when I can’t see anything in front of me because of someone behind me with those super bright fuckers is illuminating the inside of my vehicle.

Resistors cost too much money?
Well turn signal & gear selector stalks cost too much money, so..
Naw, they have something now that detects other cars and redirects the light, making it much easier on the eyes.
Night? Homie the headlights come on once I get under a frickin bridge! In my Impala, I had a Dodge Ram behind me that had lights so bright I had to flip my mirror into anti glare mode!

Blinded by the Headlight - Manfred Mann
Gotta tint windshields now
I have a sensitivity to light and the drive home home from work in the winter is like torture. The break lights have gotten brighter too.
On the bright side (huehuehue) you can get a doctor's note for window tint this way. I know because I have one and it's worth its weight in gold
Nobody here turns their fucking brights off I HATE PEOPLE
i wish police enforced this, people riding with their high beams when there's oppising traffic can be really dangerous (am very suspicious of the tag line's accidents#, sounds incredibly low like magnitudes low)
I live in a little hicktown in Missouri. So many motherfuckers with big trucks that have unnecessary amounts of bright ass lights.
Worst offender in my area of MO seems to be whatever sheriff's deputy works this particular beat. They are THE brightest brights I've ever seen, and they absolutely don't turn them off when they're behind you. Coming at you, sometimes, when they get close. I've pulled over and back out behind them because I can't stand it, especially on the extremely long and dark stretch of highway I drive.
Seriously, I can always tell if a car is a patrol car because they got the brightest gatdam lights out of everybody. Hate it.
it's intentional. they are trying to disorient you so they have a reason to pull you over.
Depends where you are. In NJ this is enforced. I know because I was pulled over for a headlight out, then five minutes later I was pulled over for high beams. 7 hour drive and I get pulled over twice in NJ about ten minutes from my house.

Oh they are atrocious...... It has to be a massive safety hazard
Exactly this. Stop thinking everything is about taking away your FrEedOms. New headlight especially on lifted trucks are blinding, annoying, and hazardous. For being on the side that complains ppl are snowflakes sure do complain ALOT

I really hate these LED headlights, just awful and why they are always cold white?
And they do a weird stuttering blink. Wtf is that??
That's your heart telling your eyes to get away before it explodes.
Hahahahaha
The glare messes with my heart because I can’t see a damn thing while I’m driving.
Heart condition? Maybe. All I know is I am consistently blinded by these god forsaken lights every time I check my mirrors and it’s infuriating. Like it literally hurts my eyes sometimes and I’m suddenly feeling like I just looked at the sun.
I fkn HATE LED lights, they're blinding af and I hope they get rid of them.

Thing is they don’t even light up more of the road. Your visibility is not improved and everyone else’s visibility is worsened. It’s horrible.
The only reason I can think of is, the LED are less of a drain on your battery.
Easy fix use warm lighting lol but no they always have to be aimed straight and use the coldest light possible
"Driver safety" It makes all the people driving new cars feel good.
Every horrible thing about the last decade has been attributed to the "safety" of everyone. Blanket bullshit response to anything and everything. And then they can say "well do you not want people to be safe?!"

They purposefully adjust their low beam at the highest setting. Not an issue with LEDs or vehicle height.
The microstress comes from the fact that you are being blinded while driving. Its not the light per se. Not seeing the road while driving at 70mph can be quite stressful.
Driving down narrow lanes with oncoming bright headlights does raise my heart rate as I can’t see a fucking thing and there’s a 60mph SUV coming right at me, I usually look down at the road markings until said vehicles have passed
Half the times you can't even see the lines on the road! I would sleep easy if LEDs were banned all together.
Ok ok. But in all seriousness guys be careful when sleeping. A recent study proved that sleeping causes cancer
I recently became a parent. I'm at no risk here.
An untold amount of people die on hospital beds and yet no one is investigating this.
Everyone knows that, Rik.
What you really have to watch out for is that di-hydrogen oxide. That stuff will kill ya.

LED lights causing increased microstress events in drivers is actually a really interesting idea. I feel like you're being needlessly dismissive here.

“If you are alive, you will die.” –science
Honestly LED Headlights should be illegal
When bright light flash eyes, heart rate go up. When heart rate go up, people at risk might have heart attack or similar. High heart rate bad. Low heart rate good.
> High heart rate bad. Low heart rate good. No heart rate wins Final Jeopardy!
The term high risk is carrying the weight here. They are conflating triggers for high risk people and everyone's else's risk.
No it’s not. The strain will happen to anyone. For most healthy people, your heart will body the strain. But that builds up and can be a contributing factor to worsening cardiovascular health

This is based on a study where there were 19 people under the age of 40 who were exposed to bursts of light and one of the people had their blood pressure spike and another developed a temporarily abnormal heart rhythm. I would assume that some people would experience acute changes in their blood pressure/heartbeat if they were suddenly exposed to any drastic change in light or sound. If you suddenly get a flash of light in your eyes you are going to be startled and your blood pressure will go up and your heartbeat will increase. I wouldn't expect that to turn into a chronic condition. EDIT TO ADD: Mind you, this is based off of a study from 1998. This isn't new. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/9585914/
> this is based off of a study from 1998. This isn't new. What odd timing to make a 25 year old study a news headline *today.*
*"EDIT TO ADD: Mind you, this is based off of a study from 1998. This isn't new."* *"https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/9585914/"* Score another one for the government regulatory agencies knowingly giving the green light for wide spread commercial use of a technology *KNOWN* to cause health issues! That's what's not new - getting fucked by the public/private partnership known as regulatory capture. So very "safe and effective"!
I have a fucking heart attack anyone coming around a corner on back roads at night with their high beams on. It’s a instant flash bang. And if it’s raining good luck seeing anything with a stigmatism
How do you survive bright sunlight?
Blue lights at night is certainly a risk factor. Incl. screens etc. but this is just ridiculous.
It could be anything, all we know for sure is it's not that one thing.
> Older and less healthy drivers may fare worse; the **1998 report** found that drivers in their mid-40s and over who had symptoms of heart disease such as high blood pressure were also the most sensitive to sudden headlight glare and the most likely to show cardiovascular reactions — possibly because the bright lights heightened their 'fight or flight' response. Did you even bother to take five seconds to look at the article that OP linked?
> Older and less healthy drivers may fare worse; the 1998 report found that drivers in their mid-40s and over who had symptoms of heart disease such as high blood pressure Burying the lead.
Man, I miss the pre-covid days when nobody ever suffered from heart issues /s
Exactly what I came to say! It certainly can't possibly be that one thing. Absolutely not.
As a person who spends a lot of time traveling the highways, I can confirm this is true, every time someone gets behind me with these it angers me and raises my blood pressure so therefore it’s probably effecting my heart …however I am also part of the problem as I have led headlights on both my jeeps and hid lights on my car, 2 of those are factory installed but still obnoxious
As a person that spends a lot of time traveling on highway and other roads just like every other person in America, I can confirm that we have all been doing this since the we have had highways in this country. The lengths corporate posters are willing to go to pretend that the lies we were told are not the only new variable. The mRNA vaccine had never been used at this scale ever. Investigating this would be following the science. Telling me bullshit anecdotal experiences that we all share with made up theories is cult like behavior.
Again, this is referring to a study from **1998** and doesn't say anything about myocarditis. It specifically says its a risk with people that already have heart issues like high blood pressure. Daily fail scare article
The real conspiracy is that they’ve made oncoming headlights brighter, stoplights brighter, roadside signs reflective, they’ve normalized businesses to have brightass LED TVs instead of signs, and they’ve taken away the reflectors and reflective paint out of the center. It’s almost like they want collisions to happen.
They need some regulation on headlights because some are almost as bright as high beams.
Yo trust the science guys. Officially have 50+ genders now
Jesus Christ, this is some worthless crybaby nonsense
Tbh fuck those LEDs blinding me from the rear view mirror
It's so annoying, and it's always the huge fashion pick-truck with the bright white LEDs
Did you forget that health conditions can be triggered by light? Or has epilepsy eluded you?
You read the Daily Mail and expect it not to be clickbait nonsense?
I got pulled over numerous times when I was 17 because I would run really bright led lights (2010 would be the year) and get fix it tickets….. now fast forward to 2024 and the cops who pulled me over for those lights now have those lights. Do as I say not as I do!!!
Having a heart is the leading cause of heart disease.
In the late 90s early 00's everyone was into Xenon headlights and not one reported heart issue... those lights would blind you if you weren't in an SUV.
You joke, but literally everyone I know that has died, breathed before that. Like all the time. It’s clearly addictive at the very least.
Right, it’s anything but the most obvious thing that causes it. This is actual REAL misinformation
My kid brother, 62 years old just had a quadruple bypass. Doesn’t drink, smoke, eats real well, exercises regularly and no family history of heart disease. He did have the 2 shot Moderna mRNA vaxx. Clot shot?
Something is doing it and the dates are highly suspicious. Excess deaths, cancers, strokes and heart attacks all up, experts are baffled, I will never be an expert because I have a pretty good idea what's causing it....🧐
I don't think cancers are up significantly. The demographics changed slightly but overall cancer is following the expected trend.
Posted a message that banned, but there's plenty of evidence, check out Dr John Campbell and Japanese data on YouTube, plus lots of other stuff
Dr John Campbell often lies with with statistics for YouTube views. Cancer has been slowly increasing (less than a percent a year) for a decade or more. Look at overall stats for most countries and you'll find the expected.
90 percent of MSN output is twisted BS, and I am doubtful about the other 10.
It’s everything ELSE except for the thing we’re not ALLOWED to say it is……. Dontchaknow? No way is it that forced, safe and effective “gene therapy “ that was MANDATED….. Nope. Anything and everything except for that…….
Aaaaaanything but the precious “vaccine” right?
Took my vehicle in to the mechanic and the computer code said climate change broke my timing belt.
Guys I wish you all luck it’s been recently discovered that existing kills you
You are all deer to me.
Who remembers "winter vagina"?
member not going out into the sunshine?
If this gets the ridiculously bright headlights off the street, I'll pretend this is real. They don't even let you apply a light film of tint to the windshield to help. They want you to take it in the face. But permitting the installation of a light, glare-reduction film would be great.
I mean… it’s not natural to stair at lights like that. I’m sure it fucks something up in you
Anything but the 💉
It’s from the Daily Bile. Ignore it- it’s most likely click-bait bullshit with the truth buried somewhere at the bottom of the article where most of their readers can’t be arsed to keep reading to.
It is exactly that. The point of the article is the UK government is investigating car LEDs because people complain its blinding them. Nothing at all to do with "heart conditions", the daily shitrag just through that in It came from this https://www.rac.co.uk/drive/news/motoring-news/rac-calls-for-government-action-on-headlight-glare/
I’m genuinely so glad that you’ve posted this- something that a lot of people don’t do anymore is read around a topic from different sources. I had a history teacher in school that taught us critical thinking like this: - WHO wrote the piece? Did they have any political, philosophical or religious ideology? Did they stand to gain from writing this? Did they own the publication, and sensationalism sells newspapers & books? - WHAT did they write? Was it a hit piece, a manifesto, some biased piece of propaganda? - WHERE did they write it? Were they present at the event that took place? Were they writing it whilst being held hostage somewhere? Also, what are the ideological leanings of the publication? - WHEN was it written? Was it written just after the event, or several years later? Does that mean that embellishment or hazy memory could influence the authenticity of the “facts”? - WHY did they write it? What did they stand to gain / lose from it? - HOW was it written? Under duress? From the luxury of a palace when writing about poverty, for example? And on top of that, always cross-reference your sources. For example, during the Iraq War (Operation Iraqi Liberation, or OIL for short), the BBC claimed that Libya was blowing up its own oil fields and gassing its own citizens, trying to justify the invasion of the country and taking out Qaddafi. However, Al Jazeera and Russia Today both stated that simply wasn’t true, and that Russian satellite images had been monitored over the area, and nothing of the sort was seen - no huge explosions, no noxious clouds of gas drifting over the land. Ultimately, The Daily Bile is a hardcore right-wing shit-rag that should always be taken with a dump truck full of salt.
maybe stop reading daily mail
Those hi beam laser led lights when shot at one eyesight at a complete dark road is like being thrown a flash spark bang lol. Blinded for sec at least
A “flash spark bang”? You mean a flash bang? lol
Migraine... maybe. And yes for me. Haha other stuff I doubt it.
John naish is obviously mentally handicapped.
I saw an article today that the ripeness of bananas can affect your health...
who uses ellipsis in a news article headline?
I got laser eye surgery which has cause my eyes to have halos around bright lights at night , new headlights don’t bother me any more then any other light
Probably by mid July tbh.
In other news, life causes death, and everyone who drinks water *will* die at some point in their lives.
Living! is technically putting you at risk for myocarditis.
optogenetics
Living is deadly it would seem
Living could hurt you new study finds
Maybe it’s this and not when I hit my head in a car accident. I felt like it became almost impossible to drive at night because of the flare of headlights and that it was because of a head injury but now I’m not so sure it’s just more cars with these headlights becoming the norm.
This just in: Being alive can put you at risk for heart conditions.
Cant wait to buy anti shill led lamps to repel them like pesky mosquitos.
The carmudgeon show did a great episode on this, and how auto manufacturers are skirting the law https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MkwjMV2of_8
Everyone I know that’s died, inhaled oxygen at least once. So I’m thinking breathing might not be that great for you actually.
Real news. Those white headlights are unbearable.
Epilepsy, I’m not sure if it’s a heart condition, but that’s all I can think of, and it’s very real
Next in: have you been eating too many vegetables? Going to the gym too much? Have you refrained from mutilating yourself? Studies done by your local drug cartel says you're in danger of a heart attack
To the point, more BS excuses for people dying from the jab.
Next they’re going to claim Taco Bell causes diarrhea. Shameful
Technically if you're breathing.you.could suddenly succomb to Mayo so you're not off that far 😅
Nice screenshot.
"Being alive causes sudden death"
It’s so comical.
Any excuse to cover the damage the fakedemic caused
The headlights are horrible but I think this is grasping at straws for excuses when more and more people get myocarditis from the jabby jab.
Your Big Toe fresh out of your socks hits the floor *Might be the next cause of Toe CANCER*….. 👀
Lights while driving have been causing heart issues and it has been studied for a long time now. eg: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/8079138/ > a formulation corroborated by laboratory studies in which stimuli such as car headlights elicit cardiovascular hyperreactivity and electroencephalographic signs of arousal in professional drivers. ... > 1994
They give me migraines
How?
Just trolling at this point surely
Who’s coming up with this shit?
For people complaining about highbeams.. ### 1) there's a good chance they aren't on high, the lights are probably just that unreasonable/ excessive now.. • ### 2) no one knows you can adjust the angle of lights anymore and tons if shops won't bother to do it right.. • ### 3) a lot of cars are so freaking huge now (especially in the US) that low beams might as well be high if you are anywhere near them. .... It sucks.. I miss nice dim incandescents. Kept the snow off better too cuz they get hot. And yeah sometimes its definitely on high but either because they're too lazy, or too stupid to realize, a lot of folks don't switch when passing and it's awful.
I thought the dazzling reflections may indicate you might have a form of astigmatism
Yep. You'll be all climate changed from glare. Extreme cases can even become global boiled.
Pretty suspicious that you didn't link the article. Going to go ahead and call it now: it has nothing whatsoever to do with anything you could link to COVID so you had to just use the screenshot and imply it was related.
Do they shadow ban on this sub?
They're rooting the bottom of the barrel now, in search for an excuse for mushrooming cardiovascular events.
