Adding any other vaccines to this one is specious. ‘Vaccines are net kidney savers’ is a ridiculous thing to say. The medical and scientific question is the effect of THIS vaccine, and each COVID vaccine separately.”
It was in response to a comment I had made in which I stated, “This is fear porn, not science. The study warrants scrutiny (e.g., for confounders), but Hulscher’s “BREAKING” hype is baseless; vaccines are net kidney saviours.”
So I asked Grok if what I stated was correct. What follows is Grok’s non-partisan response.
Key Positive Achievements of Donald Trump as U.S. President (2017–2021)
Donald Trump’s single term as the 45th President of the United States focused on economic deregulation, foreign policy deals, and judicial reforms, among other areas. While his presidency was highly polarising, several initiatives garnered bipartisan support or measurable outcomes. Below, we outline significant positive achievements based on verified policy impacts, economic data, and international agreements. These are drawn from official records, government reports, and nonpartisan analyses.
A LinkedIn post by Thorsten Wunde (or “WundeThorsten”) shared a viral anecdote claiming to illustrate why “socialism always fails.” The story presents an economics professor in Sweden. He fails an entire class after averaging the grades to simulate socialist equality. This action leads to widespread laziness and eventual collapse. It concludes with a moral: When half the population realises they can slack off, the nation is in danger. The other half sees no reward for effort. This marks the end of every nation. This tale aims to serve as compelling evidence of socialism’s inherent flaws. However, it is deeply problematic on several levels. It is factually, logically, and empirically flawed. It’s a classic example of a fabricated parable. It is dressed up as real-world evidence. This story has been circulating online since at least 2009. It appears as chain emails and memes, often tied to U.S. politics (e.g., “Obama’s socialism”). Below, we’ll break it down systematically.
The article by Bassem Eid in The Times of Israel (Nov 2025) asserts that Hamas’s actions on October 7, 2023, and its use of human shields constitute genocide against Jews. It cites Golda Meir’s 1957 remark (“We can forgive the Arabs for killing our children… but we cannot forgive them for forcing us to kill their children”) to frame Hamas’s strategy as deliberately engineering Palestinian civilian deaths to provoke Israeli retaliation—thus meeting the legal threshold for genocide.
This is a bold, provocative claim that weaponises a revered Israeli leader’s words but fails under scrutiny on legal, factual, and rhetorical grounds.
Detailed List of Entities Calling for the Unconditional Release of Israeli Hostages Held by Hamas
The following is a comprehensive, categorised list of world leaders, governments, political parties, universities, social leaders, and NGOs that have publicly called for the immediate and unconditional release of the Israeli hostages (and, where applicable, their remains) taken during the October 7, 2023, Hamas-led attack.
This demand has been a consistent theme in international responses to the Gaza war hostage crisis, often framed as a war crime under international law and tied to calls for ceasefires and humanitarian access. The list is compiled from official statements, joint declarations, and reports up to November 6, 2025, including the recent U.S.-brokered ceasefire phases during which many hostages were released. I’ve focused on explicit calls for “unconditional” release, excluding conditional proposals (e.g., tied solely to prisoner swaps without emphasising immediacy).
Entries include brief context, dates where available, and sources for verification.
Note: Although universities were less prominent in direct calls (more often involved in protests or faculty statements), I’ve included relevant examples.
1. World Leaders. These individuals issued personal or official statements urging Hamas to release hostages without preconditions, often in UN addresses, summits, or media.
Why are so many social media supporters of Israel and Hamas so evil, amoral, depraved and degenerate?
I said:
The perception that supporters of both Israel and Hamas on social media are widespread. They are viewed as disproportionately “evil, amoral, depraved, and degenerate.” However, it is not evidence of inherent moral rot in either group. This view results from the dynamics of social media. It also stems from human behaviour in polarised, high-stakes conflicts. It’s a predictable outcome of how social media works and how humans behave in polarised, high-stakes conflicts. Here’s a clear, non-partisan breakdown.
As the world’s richest man and a self-proclaimed truth-seeker, your platform on X amplifies ideas to hundreds of millions. That’s a superpower—and a responsibility. When you endorse claims like those from @C_3C_3 that “illegals are voting,” “receiving benefits,” and “changing Congressional maps,” you’re not just sharing “facts.” You’re fueling a dangerous, debunked narrative that dehumanizes millions of aspiring Americans and erodes trust in our democracy. Let’s examine these assertions with evidence, not echo chambers.1. “Illegals are voting.”This is flat-out false—and illegal. Federal law prohibits noncitizens from voting in presidential or congressional elections, with penalties including deportation, fines, and prison.
Thank you for sharing your perspective on this deeply complex and painful situation in Gaza. As a fellow advocate for human rights and peace, I appreciate the passion you bring to discussions on justice. These are qualities you highlight in your impressive profile. Your background is as a U.S. Army veteran, filmmaker, and activist. This undoubtedly provides you with unique insights into the costs of conflict. I respect your commitment to standing against terrorism in all its forms. However, I must firmly push back. It appears to be a one-sided portrayal that risks oversimplifying a humanitarian crisis. This portrayal can perpetuate division. It does not foster the empathy needed for a lasting resolution. First, we’ll focus on the core of your post. You claim that the international community is pressuring Israel to “let [Hamas fighters] walk away” without consequences. This narrative, while emotionally charged, doesn’t fully align with the reported facts. Recent developments show that mediators from Egypt, Qatar, and the US are holding discussions. These talks concern the fate of approximately 200 Hamas fighters. They are trapped in tunnels in IDF-controlled areas of southern Gaza, such as Rafah and Khan Younis.
Recent BBC Reports on Sudan. The civil war in Sudan erupted in April 2023. It is between the Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF) and the Rapid Support Forces (RSF). This conflict continues to dominate coverage. Below is a list of key reports published on BBC News in 2025. The reports focus on significant developments. These include battles, humanitarian crises, and atrocities. I’ve prioritised the most recent and prominent articles, including titles, publication dates, and brief summaries.
A recent poll has been used to claim that most Palestinians “support Hamas’s atrocities.” In truth, it reveals not moral depravity but the depth of hopelessness created by occupation, blockade, and the collapse of politics.

A commentary circulated this week declares that “most Palestinians support Hamas’s atrocities.” It cites a new opinion poll as evidence that a future Palestinian state would be a moral and political disaster. The claim makes for an alarming headline, but it is also deeply misleading. What it really reveals is how data, stripped of context and empathy, can become a form of propaganda.
