NEW EMAILS: Biden White House Behind Facebook Censorship of The BMJ’s Pfizer Investigation disinformationchronicle.substack.com/p/new-emails-b… Months before The BMJ released investigation, Facebook emailed the White House they would take action against “true content” on vaccines /1
Neither of the two White Officials on the email have any background in science or medicine. @RFlaherty46 is a Biden campaign official, now White House director of digital strategy. @ASlavitt is a businessman who now runs a podcast. /2
In the March 2021 email, Facebook promised the White House, "[W]e have been focused on reducing virality of content discouraging vaccines that does not contain actionable misinformation ... This is often-true content….” /3
9 months later, @bmj_latest my investigation that found data integrity problems in Pfizer’s COVID-19 clinical trial, based on internal documents provided by whistleblower @IamBrookJackson bmj.com/CONTENT/375/BM… /4
After Australia's regulatory agency began asking Pfizer questions, a Facebook "fact checker" found the investigation "lacked context" although they found no errors, ie, it was "true content." /5
Unheard wrote BMJ fights back against Facebook fact-checkers: The medical journal was censored for 'misinformation' by the tech giant unherd.com/thepost/bmj-fi… /6
The Facebook "fact checker" told @mtaibbi “missing context” was a term invented by Facebook taibbi.substack.com/p/the-british-… I think we now know it was invented by Facebook due to White House pressure. /7
What gives the Biden administration the right to attack news articles that have no errors, just so they can push their policies? How does this NOT violate the First Amendment? How is this NOT an attack on a free press? /8
.@JeninYounesEsq “The government can’t get around the First Amendment by coercing, pressuring, or cajoling private companies to censor Americans for expressing views of which the government disapproves.” /9
Does anybody know that @ASlavitt previously supported Governor Cuomo's disastrous nursing policies? @propublica on Cumo's nursing policies, apparently led by Slavitt, which increased deaths propublica.org/article/fire-t… /10
What will happen to hold these White House officials to account and protect our rights under the Constitution? Why are Democrats ignoring this? Would it be okay if a Republican White House acted this way? disinformationchronicle.substack.com/p/new-emails-b… /END

They say people aren't born to hate, they are taught to hate.

Q: @elonmusk is one of several hundred billionaires in the United States, so why all this hate directed at him?

Who taught people to hate Elon Musk? /1
I mean, seriously. Why do people suddenly have this white hot, negative opinion of the guy? Where is this coming from?

You don't need to like the guy (I don't follow tech stuff very much) but who is ginning up the hate? /2
It's almost feels like there's been a concerted effort to push people into a certain type of thinking.... /3

The Wuhan Road Show: Forming a Band, Virologists Toured Washington’s Backstreets disinformationchronicle.substack.com/p/the-wuhan-ro…
Scientists’ briefings to DC officials created an earworm in the intelligence community with lyrics bent against a Chinese lab accident. /1
Fauci held a secret Feb 1, 20202 teleconference w/ virologists to discuss a possible Wuhan lab accident.
“I always had an open mind,” Fauci told @alisonannyoung of the Feb 1 meeting, “Even though I felt then, and still do, the most likely origin was in an animal host.” /2
“I've heard these conspiracy theories,” Fauci told Newt Gingrich on Feb 9, 2020, when asked if the pandemic started in a Wuhan lab. “And like all conspiracy theories, Newt, they're just conspiracy theories.” disinformationchronicle.substack.com/p/the-wuhan-ro… /3

If @WillOremus is interested in something different than "Why won't Musk do *my* definition of transparency" he should ask why Musk put Michael Shellenberger, of all people, in the batting lineup.

Shellenberger flipped out over this: ethics.harvard.edu/blog/breakthro… /1
I eventually did a long expose on Shellenberger and his buddies at the Breakthrough Institute, with their long history of soft climate denial and cheerleading for Monsanto disinformationchronicle.substack.com/p/the-new-deni…

Seriously, why did Musk pick Shellenberger? /2
Shellenberger is so goddam extreme that even the Breakthrough Institute got rid of him.

And all @atrembath and Breakthrough do is troll environment groups putting together DC policy.

So the trolls got rid of a troll.

Will the Biden Administration Investigate Evidence of Ghostwriting Involving Francis Collins and Anthony Fauci? disinformationchronicle.substack.com/p/will-the-bid… In NIH Director Collins' own words /1
Emails show that Kristian Andersen thanked Farrar, Fauci and Collins for "advice and leadership" on his Nature Medicine paper that shot down a possible Wuhan lab accident. He then sought more comments, suggestions.

Yet, Andersen fails to disclose them in the paper. /2
After providing "advice and leadership" both Collins and Fauci then cited the paper as proof of a natural origin for COVID-19—Collins in a post on the NIH Director’s blog, and Fauci during a White House pandemic briefing with President Donald Trump. /3

Serious question: how many #COVID-19 vaccine approvals were odd?

It wasn't just India.

The BMJ reported that the UK authorised Pfizer's #COVID vaccine by evaluating data "on a rolling basis" BEFORE the phase III data had even been published! bmj.com/content/371/bm… /1
I reported for The BMJ that Pfizer's clinical trial had "data integrity and regulatory oversight" issues. These matters were reported to the FDA, which then never investigated the clinical trial research sites.

Does the FDA represent us or Pharma?
bmj.com/content/375/bm… /2
BTW, it's pretty obvious that Pfizer's PR strategy is to just keep screaming "science, Science, SCIENCE!" /3

PR Firm Repping Vaccine Manufacturers Now Promotes Doctors Group Denouncing Alleged COVID Vaccine Disinformation disinformationchronicle.substack.com/p/pr-firm-repp…
Among the many social changes wrought by the pandemic, physician certification groups now clamor to defend the biopharmaceutical industry. /1
The American Board of Internal Medicine's @RichardBaron17 has partnered w/ Weber Shandwick, the PR firm for Pfizer & Moderna to go after physicians who question these companies' products.

Why? @jon_rauch @RadioFreeTom
Richard Baron would not respond to questions I sent, but I asked him what he has done with any physician who "overstated" efficacy/safety of the COVID-19 vaccines.

Baron can't answer that question /3
