Someone needs to do to the Federal Government’s files what Elon Musk is doing with the Twitter files–dump them to the public so we can see what’s really been going on. In the latest installment of Twitter files, the American people can see evidence of a massive conspiracy between the government and Big Tech to censor and control COVID information and therefore public understanding. And we’re not just talking about actual misinformation. We’re talking about completely truthful, accurate, and scientific information, sometimes even straight from the CDC’s own website, being censored when it was inconvenient to the government’s narrative. But no one is surprised. We knew it was happening, but now we have receipts. Here’s the beginning of a lengthy thread by David Zweig on “How Twitter rigged the COVID debate.”

THE TWITTER FILES: HOW TWITTER RIGGED THE COVID DEBATE
– By censoring info that was true but inconvenient to U.S. govt. policy
– By discrediting doctors and other experts who disagreed
– By suppressing ordinary users, including some sharing the CDC’s *own data*
You’ll remember that COVID kicked off during the Trump administration, and they also tried to use censorship to manipulate COVID information. For example, they tried to get Big Tech companies to “combat misinformation” about “conspiracies around 5G cell towers, runs on grocery stores, and misinformation that could stoke panic buying and behaviors.” Infuriating but pretty vanilla considering what came after.

Then the Biden Administration took over and took it to the next level, with internal notes showing that “Biden’s staff focused on vaccines and high-profile anti-vaxxer accounts, including Alex Berenson.” Basically, anyone who said anything unflattering about the vaccines was targeted as a misinformationist, regardless of whether they were spreading actual misinformation. If it diverged from or questioned the government’s mass vaccination narrative, then it was considered misinformation.
9. In the summer of 2021, president Biden said social media companies were “killing people” for allowing vaccine misinformation. Berenson was suspended hours after Biden’s comments, and kicked off the platform the following month.

Things got real when they pressured Big Tech to censor doctors and scientists who were refusing to fall in line with the approved scientific and medical narratives about COVID. It’s not that they were denying science or spreading actual medical misinformation. It’s that they were offering alternative facts, alternative interpretations of facts, or alternative approaches to address the facts. Those alternatives weren’t allowed. The narrative reigned supreme, and they called it “The Science.”
14. But Twitter did suppress views—many from doctors and scientific experts—that conflicted with the official positions of the White House. As a result, legitimate findings and questions that would have expanded the public debate went missing.

A prime example was when they censored Dr. Martin Kulldorff for saying that “thinking that everyone must be vaccinated is as scientifically flawed as thinking that nobody should. COVID vaccines are important for older high-risk people, and their care-takers. Those with prior natural infection do not need it. Nor children.”

Despite the fact that this was all completely accurate and even being offered by someone arguably considered an “expert,” it deviated from what was then the current CDC and government narrative about the COVID “vaccines” and therefore was labeled “false information.”
23. After Twitter took action, Kulldorff’s tweet was slapped with a “Misleading” label and all replies and likes were shut off, throttling the tweet’s ability to be seen and shared by many people, the ostensible core function of the platform: pic.twitter.com/Qa1HpaEray
