Dr. Anthony Fauci's Latest Comment

[Birdlady]

Not clear what you are saying here, Birdlady. Are you saying you are a follower of Dr. Stella Immanuel, who is threatening to have Jesus unplug Facebook's servers? And offers the "deviation" that endometriosis is caused by having sex with demons?

Please, please tell us that you do believe that. We are so badly in need of a good laugh!

I don't know Stella Immanuel from Adam, ( as I venture you don't either), and have no opinions one way or the other as to her beliefs, ideologies, or whatever. I have no idea what's true or what is fabrication about what's been said about her, and I don't care.

And unlike many others, apparently, I don't buy into attempts at character assassination on the part of the news or social media to discredit, or disappear those who express opinions, anecdotal experiences, or information that runs contrary to the officially condoned narrative about this, or any topic for that matter.

I don't know Stella Immanuel from Adam ( as I venture no one else here does either)have no opinions about her beliefs, activities, or anything else about her.
And no, I don't personally believe in the role of demons ( or whatever that is you were going on about) in causing or contributing to medical conditions such as endometriosis or any other condition, though I don't judge others for what they may believe. Sorry to disappoint, perhaps instead of hoping for laughs by poking fun at others you know nothing about (not unsimilar to middle-schoolers making fun of the wierd-looking classmate) , I see there's a joke thread in this forum, looks like some funny stuff there.

My point was, again, to express my concern over the overt efforts on the part of the media giants and their minions to destroy those who express opinions, anecdotal experiences, information that runs contrary to the official "approved" narrative. That is all.

The end results of such censorship, the efforts to quell any ideas, thoughts or information not officially part of the approved narrative, is a populace that believes only what they are "supposed" to believe, for eventual control of that populace.

OK, you finally got to the only thing in your post that I have any interest in responding to. That is the paranoid delusion that there is some sort of censorship, a conspiracy of sorts, by the "media giants and their minons" (whoever in tarnation they are supposed to be) to suppress the free exchange of ideas.

But if that were true, would be be bombarded daily with millions of comments on Twitter? Would Fox News be able to keep broadcasting news clearly slanted to the right? Would all those conservative web sites be able to even exist?

Thank God we do have freedom of speech, and freedom of the press, in this country. There is no "official narrative," and anyone is free to express agreement or disagreement with anything.

There is a generally accepted level of realism, and trust in things that are scientifically provable. That is why most of us don't believe the earth is flat, and most of us believe that there is a dangerous worldwide epidemic going on right now. But no one is being "destroyed," to use your word, for having differing opinions. You are free to believe whatever you wish.

I agree about censorship. We are adults who can make up our own minds about what we see or read.
We are not children needing to be shielded by others opinions or beliefs. The media or whomever should not have the right to censor the content, except for possibly foul language being omitted.

That was my whole point. Though I know I do tend to be wordy (understatement of the year?) in making those points.

And you would call this freedom of speech? Dr. Simone Gold, a board certified emergency physician, spoke this week at the White Coat Summit. After over 18 million views of their conference on Monday Google, YouTube and Facebook removed their videos.

"But no one is being "destroyed," to use your word, for having differing opinions. You are free to believe whatever you wish."
Oh yeah, and of course there's that part.... Ooops Emergency room Dr. Simone Gold fired from hospital after attending White Coat Summit.

I just uncovered another interesting letter that was signed by 150 top intellectuals including many people on the "other side" so to speak. The entire letter is there to read if you have an open mind and you want proof that there is censorship and a persons livelihood can be destroyed for merely dis-agreeing an opposing view.

“Editors are fired for running controversial pieces; books are withdrawn for alleged in-authenticity; journalists are barred from writing on certain topics; professors are investigated for quoting works of literature in class; a researcher is fired for circulating a peer-reviewed academic study; and the heads of organizations are ousted for what are sometimes just clumsy mistakes,” states the letter.
Full letter here.

Censorship by private corporations has nothing to do with interfering in 'free speech.' The term means interfering by government, not private enterprise.

As I just said in another thread, a certain amount of censorship exists in just about every platform for the exchange of ideas. The people in charge of any web site, newspaper, etc. have the right to decide what gets printed and what does not. Why the outrage, but only in this case?

Yeah, sounds anti-capitalistic to me!

Does any disease ever really 'go away'? Chicken pox for example. It shows up as shingles in old age and is contagious. There is still fear of bubonic plague. And malaria hasn't gone away. You just take vaccines.

You are correct...I've had Chicken pox when I was a kid, I've had shingles 2 times, I had pnomonia last summer...Got a vaccine last Sept.
have to get another vaccine this Sept. I also get a flu shot every Sept. That Bubonic plague scares me!!!!!!!
My husband didn't get shingles when I was sick....He also didn't get pnomonia last summer....
