“I am proudly a Holocaust denier. “I have not been vaccinated and I have not vaccinated my children either.” Miguel Bosé, now a regular disseminator of conspiracy and pseudoscientific theories and an anti-vaccine icon during the COVID pandemic, waved his speech against medicine and his support for alternative therapies at the event “in favor of freedom of expression and therapeutic freedom. » was finally celebrated in Mallorca despite numerous warnings from the authorities about “the danger” of “practices based on deception” or “not supported by scientific knowledge”. The organization of the event was also reported to the Balearic government by the Círculo Escético association, a non-profit entity aimed at combating pseudoscience.
The singer gave free rein to his conspiratorial hypotheses during the tête-à-tête in which he participated this afternoon with the healer Josep Pàmies, sentenced on several occasions to fines for having favored the use of sodium chlorite or chlorine dioxide (MMS) to treat autism and cure diseases like cancer or ALS. Despite the absence of any scientific basis in the methods they present, Bosé and Pàmies defended their postulates in front of an audience of more than 800 people who filled one of the rooms of the Es Molí d’es Compte restaurant in Palma and applauded them effusively. . the two main protagonists of the day.
At the end of the event, which lasted four hours, the conference participants asked the public to make a “voluntary” and “solidarity” financial contribution beyond the amount already paid for participation.
Bosé, who appeared at the event venue after 6 p.m. in front of the crowd of cameras and journalists awaiting his arrival, repeatedly declared that he, like his supporters, was “on the side of truth “. “With passion, we charge things with light and truth,” he noted at the beginning, before attacking medicine and science: “Those on the other side are afraid of traditional medicine because it This is an area that is growing every day, due to its effects and the conviction that to treat stomach aches, a mixture of fennel, chamomile and stevia does not kill.
Miguel Bosé: “Let people wake up and investigate”
“Be calm and very firm. “I am convinced that all the damage caused by the COVID vaccine, which has caused so many problems, defects, consequences and deaths, has made people wake up and investigate,” he told a crowd applauding him, despite the fact that No getting vaccinated increased the risk of dying among older people by 25 times during the pandemic, while getting vaccinated reduced the chance of being hospitalized by 18 times and by eight times the risk of being infected, according to data managed by the Ministry of Health. At this point, Bosé declared that neither he nor his children were vaccinated: “Let the magnificent physical machinery that nature gives us and the infinite power of the universe exert its force,” he blurted.
The singer assured that he suffered from “severe” tuberculosis which “could not be diagnosed”. “I was prescribed five antibiotics over a very long period of time, with serious side effects, and was eventually cured using sodium chlorite. “I went through pharmacological hell,” he declared, once again unleashing the joy of those present.
Bosé claims that he suffered from “strong” tuberculosis which “could not be diagnosed”. “I was prescribed five antibiotics over a very long period of time, with serious side effects, and was finally cured with sodium chlorite. I went through pharmacological hell”
For his part, Pàmies, a farmer from Lleida who has become one of the main gurus of pseudotherapies in Spain and who defends the effectiveness – not scientifically proven – of different plants, began his speech by attacking the “criminal confinement orders “. by “puppet governments”, claiming that “fascism is not only Hitler, current democracy is fascist, because it prevents freedom of expression or assembly from being realized”. Among other unfounded statements, the healer even said that if parents of autistic children “don’t talk about how Agüita healed them – in reference to sodium chlorite – it’s because the fascist state would steal their children “.
“One day there will be a Pulitzer to prove that what we say is true. We are a swarm and we are going to peck everyone,” he expressed his conviction in front of a cheering audience. Pàmies even claimed that thanks to a certain type of plant, the injured in Hiroshima were able to treat their burns. “This is all revolutionary, don’t be afraid of anything,” he told the audience.
Nadiya Popel, doctor expelled for prescribing bleach: “They are poisoning us by all means”
Meanwhile, one of the first participants in the event, which began with the exhibition of a pot of stevia, a pseudotherapy fetish plant compared to which official medicine “is not up to par” – they said – was Doctor Nadiya Popel Vyrstyuk, expelled from the Balearic College of Physicians for endangering patient safety following the use of products such as bleach, hydrogen peroxide or industrial solvents, without scientific basis, unauthorized, of uncertain origin (containers with handwritten label) or homemade as in the case of what is called “ormus”. At the event, Popel presented the so-called Global Assistance Movement or MAI, which, according to the Skeptical Circle, “appears to be simply a brand under which he continues to market his treatments and potions.”
“We treat the sick and support them in death,” explained Popel, who appeared last February before the courts of Maó, in absolute secrecy and surrounded by faithful, accused of crimes against public health for having supplied “unauthorized medicines of uncertain origin”. .” Popel explained that he treats about 50 people a week: “Now there is a cancer ‘epidemic’, we have chronic patients that we help. »
The leader of the so-called MAI concluded her speech by declaring that people “are born as healthy and happy beings. We would have a long life if we were not poisoned in every way. People will learn to protect their health,” added Popel, who at another point in the event went so far as to accuse social services of “acting like bad police who kidnap children.”
Last week, the Balearic Executive appealed to the critical spirit of citizens to put an end to activities such as this “day of therapeutic freedom” and warned of the “dangerousness” of pseudotherapies, who “take advantage of the extremely vulnerable situation of people “who are suffering”. diseases in an extreme situation. Likewise, he warns against holding the meeting “organized by the group calling itself Dulce Revolución, known for its attacks against the pharmaceutical industry and against the World Health Organization.” “This organization has publicly expressed its disagreement against vaccines and usually defends the practice of treatments without scientific evidence that can even produce harmful effects on health,” recalls the Ministry of Health.
