She's a right-wing anti-vaxxer Musk fan who is also against Israel's genocide? What the fuck?
Alright, I know nothing about this person or the song, but I went to read the article to see where it says she is an "anti-vaxxer" and a "musk fan", as well as "against Israel's genocide":
This is the only passage I could find that remotely hints about her stance about those things and I see the controversial "man-made virus" line, but that just means she believes the virus was man-made, e.g. it came from Wuhan's lab, which is a hypothesis that was seriously considered, though still found less likely than the zoonotic one.
Nothing there says she's against vaccines. It does say she's against Israel's genocide though, assuming that's the war being referred here (lyrics seem to confirm that).
Searching for "vax" or "vaccine" in the entire article yields nothing.
Searching for "musk" yields this verse in the lyrics:
Which... doesn't seem to imply she's a fan either (she might be, mind you, but one can't conclude that from this article).
So, when reading an article, let's not extrapolate beyond what's reasonable.
Well, she was a nurse during covid. Did you even read the article before commenting?
An anti-vax nurse? UNPOSSIBLE!
I know what she believes because I read the article.
That's strange, as I made mistake - in the article is written that she was "medical doctor" not a nurse.
I was responding to your nurse claim, not what the article said. You said she was a doctor in your summary. And again, I know what she believes because I read the article. She's an anti-vaxxer. That's what the Big Pharma stuff is about. I'm not sure why you're trying to argue that she isn't anti-vax when she really obviously is.
But fine, if you want to make this a big gotcha, you got me. I didn't point out that you were wrong and she wasn't a nurse.
She's still anti-vax. Hence the Big Pharma stuff that isn't both the article and the lyrics you're convinced I didn't read. I'm not sure why you think I even suggested she was anti-vax if you think I didn't read it.
That's true, but still the song is pretty catchy and very popular 😏

Sorry... you don't just want me to open some right-wing fucknut's shitty rap track, but you want me to do it through the company giving millions to Joe Rogan?
I don't think so.
Well, you can also read the comprehensive analysis of the text here: "Australian Medical Doctor Bombshell".
Is this news or pop culture bullshit?
The latter, but OP appears to be a fan.
Big Fan! 😏
There's apparently no accounting for taste.
It's news - as she was kicked from work and also the manager abandoned her as she refused to change the lyrics of the song
"Man made virus watch the millions die
Biggest profit of their lives
Here's inflation that's your prize
This is Karmageddon
Turn on the news and eat their lies
Kim or Kanye pick a side
Cancel culture what a vibe
This is Karmageddon
Corporations swear they never lie
Politicians bribed for life
More than war it's genocide
This is Karmageddon"
Oh ok, so she wanted to make a shitty pop song that contained scientific misinformation...
You misspelled Carmageddon

That is a far preferable thing.
Also:
So never expect to see a decent Carmageddon reboot if there ever is one again.
Gotta love the irony of a song that condemns having to "pick a tribe and hate the other side" that still can't manage to refrain from doing exactly that.
She might have picked a side, but I can't be 100% sure of which one just from the lyrics. In fact, if anything, it seems she hasn't picked a side: she sides with one on some issues (e.g. Israel) and with the other on other issues (e.g. cancel culture).
As a result, she's probably angering both sides, which maybe was the whole point, who knows.
This doesn't belong in News, so I'm downvoting this post, but if you repost it somewhere more appropriate, I would upvote it.
This isn't news. There's wars going on, corruption in the U.S. government, LA's in a literal firestorm, and... this? By the way, it happened last week, no one cared then, certainly don't give a fuck now.
