Good. They were censoring people like Dr. Jay Bhattacharya who were putting out valid scientific viewpoints (not anti vaxxer stuff) while putting out stuff like the nonsensical CDC early press release that you didn't need to wear a mask.

So, a win for the free flow of scientific information, even if some idiots get to say things that aren't true also.



He's part of the Great Barrington Declaration. That makes him a quack in my book.


Every person on there is a credentialed health professional as is Dr Bhattacharya I'm happy to have access to their opinions and for them to have the right to communicate.

Sorry if you feel like your, (assumed) lay opinion, supersedes theirs. Even if you are a health professional, you have no monopoly on the right to express opinions.

Wanting to silence other professionals in your field is a quack / scammer viewpoint in and of itself.
