Big Tech and the Silencing of Real Science

From The Wall Street Journal: The Twitter Blacklisting of Jay Bhattacharya

Jay Bhattacharya, a professor of medicine at Stanford University, was a latecomer to Twitter, joining in the summer of 2021. In his first tweet, he linked to a recent article he had written that discussed age-based mortality risks and natural immunity, among other topics. His main message was powerful and contrary to Covid policies enacted across the country. “Mass testing is an insidious form of lockdown by stealth,” he wrote. Many Americans, especially parents of school-age children, would agree. But it’s possible that many on Twitter didn’t see his message.

Since most of the WSJ is behind a paywall, let's consider another source. Wrongly censored scientist seeks COVID-19 truth commission to expose 'propaganda,' censorship

A respected medical scientist whose accurate analysis on COVID-19 was improperly censored during the early days of the pandemic says the federal government and Big Tech played a "malign role" and placed public health at risk by colluding to create a false picture that all Americans faced the same risk from the virus and needed to follow identical mitigation strategies.

Dr. Jay Bhattacharya, a Stanford University medical professor, says he is now working with other scientists who were silenced during the early COVID-19 debate to build momentum for a "truth commission" on the failures of public health officials and identify the questions that Congress needs to answer so America doesn't repeat such failures in future medical crises.

You know the more the information comes out, the harder it is for the CDC and friends to deny that it was all about making money for Big Pharma.

"The CDC wanted to put into the minds of people that they absolutely had to get vaccinated no matter what the risk-benefit ratio is," he said. "I was a big proponent of the vaccine for older people — I think the risk-benefit ratio, especially in 2021, favored it. For younger people, especially young men where myocarditis is a risk, it was much less clear.

Considering that the vaccine was experimental when it was first released, this made no sense. Not to mention ignoring the reality of natural immunity.

After WWII there was this thing in medical ethics called informed consent. The American people were denied the ability to be completely informed, and they did everything in their power to remove consent. The concept of informed consent was a result of what the Nazis did in the camps. As I've said many times, civilization was nice while it lasted.
