It appears that the "Science Based Medicine" editor David Gorski got @GeneticLiteracy to de-publish a year old editorial because it criticized his conspiratorial ravings against the Great Barrington Declaration.

It used to be here, but no more:

@GeneticLiteracy Since the internet never forgets, an archived copy may still be found here.

@GeneticLiteracy When he discovered the piece some six months after its publication, @gorskon was furious and tweeted up a storm about how he was going to be "brutal" in his response, and how he was going to go after the GLP.

@GeneticLiteracy @gorskon After "stewing on" how he would respond, Gorski lashed out and called on GLP's editor @JonEntine to remove the piece.

Based on the link above, it appears that Entine obliged him.

@GeneticLiteracy @gorskon @JonEntine Gorski's behavior in actively campaigning to censor any and all criticism of him recently obtained a new sense of irony because his own blog, @ScienceBasedMed, has been running a series of blog posts adamantly denying the censorship of the GBD.

@GeneticLiteracy @gorskon @JonEntine @ScienceBasedMed Tagging @zaruk, whose article was censored by Gorski's complaints.

@GeneticLiteracy @gorskon @JonEntine @ScienceBasedMed @zaruk Further irony: the dead link on the GLP page now redirects to a different op-ed by the GBD authors.

@GeneticLiteracy @gorskon @JonEntine @ScienceBasedMed @zaruk Per the Wayback Machine, Zaruk's article appears to have been removed from GLP website on April 2, 2021 - the same day that Gorski targeted it.
