A federal judge yesterday ordered the Biden administration to halt a wide range of communications with social media companies, siding with Missouri and Louisiana in a lawsuit that alleges Biden and his administration violated the First Amendment by colluding with social networks “to suppress disfavored speakers, viewpoints, and content.”

    I don’t trust you that the video contains the content you claim it does. apparently you have this information, but are refusing to share it with people, so how lazy are you?

      He details around the 1:10 minute mark about how he was sidelined (which I incorrectly interpreted to mean he had been forced to resign) for suggesting that both lab leak and natural origin theories should be investigated. Apparently he was simply left out of the discussion entirely after sharing his position, and resigned later, but I haven’t actually been able to find any details or the exact reasoning behind his exit from the CDC.

      That being said, him being sidelined is, in my opinion, still extremely concerning. It’s pretty clear to me that him disagreeing with Fauci lead to him being pushed out, but there doesn’t seem to be any info anywhere on the subject.

        (which I incorrectly interpreted to mean he had been forced to resign)

        You do realize that’s why most people are arguing with you, right? Because you made a false claim that you couldn’t back up while repeatedly claiming you’ve proven it to be true by posting a link to an article that doesn’t say what you claim it says (which is the very definition of “unscientific”)?

            What exactly was your main point then, if not that he was forced to resign? Everything else you posted seems to be in service of defending that claim.

              My main point was that the Whitehouse shouldn’t be allowed to censor people (via the FBI) by calling certain information “misinformation” (especially when they had little to no evidence to support their own narrative) by forcing social media platforms to carry out said cencorship (or really in any way in all honesty).

              The current administration came up with a narrative, and stifled any and all debate, including that of the then CDC director who they subsequently sidelined simply for saying we should investigate both possibilities on the origins of the virus.

                And you’re still wrong! There is no evidence that the government forced social media companies to do anything, and the article you provided doesn’t even make the claim that anyone was forced to do anything.

                  I didn’t say that article claimed that. This information is already known, and it’s why there is a case in the first place. The Twitter files came out and corroborated that it had been going on for quite a while.

                    So you don’t have any source for your claim that social media companies were literally forced to take actions directed by the government?
