“It's a private company and this is the United States, not Russia.”

You don’t see your hypocrisy on full display? “Public health and survival” for over a 99% survival rate? Yup, sounds like you are an authoritarian that will justify any violation of rights as the regime tickles your ears.

You know what’s outlandish? Your math skills as in the same time period other diseases and causes of death surpassed your over 99% survival rate for the Wuhan flu.

The fact authoritarians need to justify their double standards is the real “wow” here.

But it was in the interest of public health! Cue the worlds smallest violin...

Remember the Germans in the 30s used the same excuses to justify their propaganda for “public health.”

The sheer hypocrisy and mental gymnastics that one needs to use to backtrack their false premise is pathetic, isn’t it? Nicely done proving the hypocrisy and double standards these fascist types engage in.

This is not about a microscopic virus that most people don’t even know they have (estimates for the original WuFlu are 40-60% of cases are asymptomatic).

This is about government strong arming a private corporation to ban someone from tweeting. Think about how ridiculous that is for a second. Then think about this: everything Berenson in that tweet was accurate! If you listened to Berenson vs the CDC you’d get more accurate information.

Why is the government so scared of competing ideas if the truth is on their side?

Please enumerate the measures that were taken globally - that is, which every country followed in concert.

Individual "survival" was limited to approximately 1 in 5 people - those over 65 with immune-compromised bodies and other younger people with severe immune system issues.

If you're intimating it was for "public survival", well then you've gotten bad info.

If it truly was a global emergency, then the vaccines would have been distributed equally globally. To those for whom it was an important medicine.

For the people asking about the source, I didn't watch the video in the OP so maybe it was mentioned there, and has probably already been posted in the intervening pages, but Berenson is the source. He's got a substack article on it and he brought receipts.

He also mentioned that it came out that other reporters were asking for him to be banned, too, and said that he'd be reporting on those later.

If I gave you direct evidence to the contrary, could you accept that you're wrong?

Not to get too far off topic, but pandemics have happened in the past and the "lockdown" strategy was never a part of them. It was nonsense backed up by nothing. We can speculate and argue motives until the cows come home, but the objective facts are that the response had no basis in history or science, and had disastrous effects on society and the economy. It doesn't explain anything. It just creates more questions.

I don't doubt it either. It's the M.O. of the Biden administration to go after anyone that speaks out against any of the lies they preach.

The end of the disgraceful demented pedophile can't come soon enough.

Wow. Nobody's posted the link yet.

The White House privately demanded Twitter ban me months before the company did so
