Will a medical journal sue over Facebook's fake science fact checks?

The following is a news analysis and commentary.

By now, most people are familiar with the corporate and political interests that have taken hold of information through self-proclaimed "fact checks," and the one-sided censorship policies of Big Tech, often resulting in suppression of accurate information and promotion of false information.

Finally, a medical authority is considering suing over the potentially dangerous practices.

The case at hand involves the British Medical Journal (BMJ) and an impressive investigative article by journalist Paul Thacker, published last November. The article was entitled, "Revelations of poor practices at a contract research company helping to carry out Pfizer’s pivotal covid-19 vaccine trial raise questions about data integrity and regulatory oversight."

It's the kind of reporting that should have been done by and published in The New York Times or CBS News-- and might have been once upon a time. But not in today's managed media environment.

Here's a summary of what Thacker's article covered, as summarized by BMJ editors:

In September, a former employee of Ventavia, a contract research company helping carry out the main Pfizer covid-19 vaccine trial, began providing The BMJ with dozens of internal company documents, photos, audio recordings, and emails. These materials revealed a host of poor clinical trial research practices occurring at Ventavia that could impact data integrity and patient safety. We also discovered that, despite receiving a direct complaint about these problems over a year ago, the FDA did not inspect Ventavia’s trial sites. British Medical Journal Editors

After that article published, Big Tech, likely backed by U.S. government and pharmaceutical interest minders, got busy trying to discredit it, as has happened with increasing frequency throughout the Covid-19 pandemic.

How incredibly narcissistic the left is.

Leftism is simply narcissism expressed as a group activity.

Rather ties it all together, doesn’t it.
