Orwell Winces: Docs Show CDC Colluded with Big Tech to Censor Alleged COVID-19 Misinfo
NewsBusters ^ | 7/28/2022 | Joseph Vazquez

Posted on 07/28/2022 10:18:37 AM PDT by JV3MRC

The Washington Free Beacon unearthed a trove of documents outlining how far President Joe Biden's government was willing to push Big Tech to censor criticism of COVID-19 vaccines.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) “coordinated with social media companies and Google to censor users who expressed skepticism or criticism of COVID-19 vaccines,” The Beacon reported. Thirty-five pages of documents reportedly shared by America First Legal with The Beacon indicated “CDC officials regularly communicated with personnel at Twitter, Facebook, and Google over ‘vaccine misinformation.’”

The documents showed correspondence between officials from Facebook, Twitter and Google and the CDC. At different times, “CDC officials would flag specific posts by users on social media platforms such as Twitter as ‘example posts,’" The Beacon reported.

One piece of correspondence, appearing to be from CDC health communications specialist Elisabeth Wilhelm and written to Irene Jay Liu, Google News Lab leader for the Asia-Pacific region, called for employees like Google product policy team manager Alexios Mantzarlis to become — wait for it — “infodemic manager unicorns.”

Right now, there are PSA’s running on iHeartRadio that say the vaccinated are 39 times less likely to be hospitalized than the unvaccinated.

The actual number is less than 3X.

And less than 2X for people under 35 (who the commercial is targeting)

Any government information about COVID is misinformation.

the people that claim the vaccines are “safe and effective” also claim men can cut off their junk and convert to women...

Instead of prosecuting Big Tech for blatant monopoly practices .gov has chosen to use them for propaganda and censorship.

That is what evil looks like.

Inflating or ‘creating’? You ain’t seen nothing yet. Reports coming up will speak for themselves. (Unless Fauci says their not ‘science’, of course) These sociopaths will pay for this maybe not in this life but surely in the next.

The Washington State department of health is tracking breakthrough infections in real time.

doh.wa.gov

They updated it with yesterday so it changed a bit since the last time I looked, but as of July 27, 2022,

The unvaccinated, overall are 3.4 times more likely to be hospitalized than the vaccinated, including those that have had 4 shots.

Not 10X, not 20X and definitely not 39X. Maybe Washington State is dramatically different than the rest of the US, but probably not much different than the demographic on FR.

It’s true the vaccination advantage seems to be diminishing but I suspect it’s because a higher and higher percentage of the vaccinated have contracted the disease and have some level of natural immunity.

If you look at the WA graphs the vaccination advantage was much higher 6-8 months ago.

The vaccination advantage in the Washington data Alsop showed it was lower than 3X two-three months ago (like 1.5), but the omicron spike convinced vaxxed to get another booster, that will last them another month or two.

3.5X to 4X could be the top going forward (and it takes 4 shots to get that) and its only downhill from there.

By 2024, these shots will worthless. Trump better not run on them.

Very possibly because by then 90%+ of the population will have some level of immunity.

“...the omicron spike convinced vaxxed to get another booster, that will last them another month or two.”

But the vaccinated are dying from everything else. It destroys the immune system. That’s the real scandal.

Mis/dis/mal-infromation is in the eye/ear of the beholder. From the view of a lot of folks who don’t just roll over, the crap they were spewing was mis/dis/mal-information. We remain “NON GMO” from their propaganda. 🔬🦠😷😯🚫💉🐎💩

The Biden administration epitomizes the term “fascist” with its manipulation of twitter/facebook/youtube/google/etc.
