do you support the censorship going on in youtube Facebook twitter about covid?

First of all, Facebook is, by far, the most significant factor in spreading misinformation about COVID period. They permit false memes and false information to proliferate, and it is killing people who buy into it. If there is a problem with Facebook, it is that they are not doing enough to shut down the systemic misinformation. Same with youtube. If you have any doubt about this, just peruse the Herman Cain Awards subreddit and tell me I am wrong.

Secondly: these are all private enterprises who can set whatever rules they want. If you don't like it, close your account please and post elsewhere. Last I checked it's still a free country and by and large still a free internet. If a private company wants to disallow false information on its platform, it has every right in this free country to do that.

Is YouTube the federal/state government? Not a hard question to answer. They are a private company, they can do what they want... including censoring lies and misinformation if they want.

So, just to be clear, you think YouTube should show porn? People's deaths on camera? Rapes? Real shootings? Hitler speeches? Because, you know, censorship?

Is anyone inclined to think that the Omicron wave is going to be go down soon and we will be at endemic level after that?

[bartruff1]

It would be interesting....at least to me....in a non scientific poll to measure what % of Forum members agree with what Gonzaga has done ..........or believe an exception should be made for John Stockton. I would put it up myself if I knew how...

Honestly... yes. Numbers are going to limit where the virus can go and survive. In the NE here it is already on a steep decline. Places where there is less people vaxed still have a long road ahead of them but I am hopeful that by the end of February we'll be in a better place. All those non-vaxxed people should thank the Lord that we didn't get a variant that was Omicron level spread and Delta deadly.

Vaccines reduce severe COVID cases (primarily people with 2.5+ comorbidities) for about 4-6 months post-booster, but they do not affect the spread of CoV-2: https://link.springer.com/article/10...54-021-00808-7

So if you want to reduce hospital visits in the near-term then it is a good strategy, but has no bearing on the spread of COVID. Any restrictions that are in place against the unvaccinated are simply a form of coercion to potentially reduce strain on the hospital systems and not a means to reduce the spread of COVID. If we really wanted to cut this pandemic with a knife then we would only implement restrictions on those with comorbidities since they represent 94% of hospital cases. This strategy (the Great Barrington Declaration) would infringe on the least number of personal liberties while still protecting our healthcare system. Unfortunately those voices have been systematically silenced by the pharmaceutical industrial complex (the same people who in all likelihood OK'd the funding for CoV GoF research in Wuhan to begin with even after it was rejected by DARPA because of GoF concerns.

I think a sitting Senator should be able to have his round table on Covid Vaccine injuries broadcast on Youtube.

these people ARE NOT ANTI VAX....watch the rumble link.

They volunteered to be in the trial.

I believe full disclosure is necessary before taking any medicine.

Again, that is up to them... period. Not you. Don't like it... don't use them. Simple as that. They are free to do what they want. But it isn't like he doesn't have a very long record of lies and misinformation... and as such.... if they feel what he is broadcasting falls under those categories and it violated the ToS... well... there you go. 1st amendment doesn't apply to companies.

"Those with comorbidities" is a HUGE group. There are many among us with chronic illness and invisible ailments that put them in this group.

The unvaccinated are straining our healthcare system just as disproportionately, and this designation is one made by choice not by genetics or bad luck.

The First Amendment does not apply to private companies -- only to government censorship.

You violate YouTube's, Twitter's, Facebook's Terms of Service, and you are gone and your posts are deleted.

Start your own social media web site, and you can say anything you want.

You support censorship of people talking about their vaccine injuries....I get it.

Thats exactly the kind of response these people get every day from majority of our country in Media Government and especially medical industry. Its cruel and inhuman in my opinion.
