1/ People, I need help to understand this. Yesterday, @SharriMarkson accused me and others in The Australian newspaper of "perpetuating conspiracy theories" and thereby "undermining" the AstraZeneca vaccine.

2/ Meanwhile, I am a co-author on a peer-reviewed paper just published in Vaccine on the risk-benefits of the AstraZeneca vaccine within the Australian context:

3/ And today we learn that Sky News Australia, another part of the Murdoch empire, has been banned from uploading videos to Youtube for spreading "covid misinformation".

4/ And the journalist, @SharriMarkson, who published the piece about me "perpetuating conspiracy theories", is also a presenter on Sky News Australia and can be seen here interviewing Steve Bannon in October 2020 about "the Hunter Biden emails".

5/ So at the same time as accusing me, a peer-reviewed author on the subject, of "perpetuating conspiracy theories", Sky News Australia, part of the same group and on which @SharriMarkson has interviewed Steve Bannon, is banned from Youtube for perpetuating "covid misinformation"

6/ I need help understanding how this all works, how it all fits together, what this means for truth, the world and our future. I am genuinely at a loss.
