One cannot avert one’s eyes from witnessing a catastrophe, e.g., a train wreck, or so it is popularly said. But train wrecks cease being entertaining when you are on the train.
But for the fact that we are on the Government-Big Tech train wreck, it would be popcorn time.
White House officials are notifying Facebook about posts that allegedly spread COVID-19 misinformation as part of efforts by President Joe Biden's administration to combat what U.S. Surgeon General Vivek Murthy described as "an imminent and insidious threat to our nation's health."
Murthy and White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki discussed their efforts as part of a "new campaign" to fight virus-related misinformation. An advisory recently published by Murthy's office details steps that tech outlets, private citizens, local governments, and media outlets can take to battle misinformation when they come across it.
Psaki said part of the Biden administration's new campaign involves asking social media companies to be more active in combatting misinformation and to share the results of their efforts publicly.
"We are in regular touch with these social media platforms, and those engagements typically happen through members of our senior staff, but also members of our COVID-19 team," Psaki said.
She mentioned Facebook specifically as a platform with which officials have been in frequent contact.
"We've increased disinformation research and tracking within the surgeon general's office," Psaki said. "We're flagging problematic posts for Facebook that spread disinformation. We're working with doctors and medical professionals to connect medical experts who are popular with our audiences with accurate information and boost trusted content -- so we are helping get trusted content out there."
Psaki added that an estimated 12 individuals are responsible for about 65 percent of all anti-vaccine misinformation on social media.

That article is no longer up at the NEJM's website.
“Who controls the past controls the future. Who controls the present controls the past”.
Orwell wrote it, after experiencing Communism first-hand (and from the inside) in Spain.
The Nuremberg Code
1. The voluntary consent of the human subject is absolutely essential.
This means that the person involved should have legal capacity to give consent; should be so situated as to be able to exercise free power of choice, without the intervention of any element of force, fraud, deceit, duress, overreaching, or other ulterior form of constraint or coercion; and should have sufficient knowledge and comprehension of the elements of the subject matter involved as to enable him to make an understanding and enlightened decision. This latter element requires that before the acceptance of an affirmative decision by the experimental subject there should be made known to him the nature, duration, and purpose of the experiment; the method and means by which it is to be conducted; all inconveniences and hazards reasonably to be expected; and the effects upon his health or person which may possibly come from his participation in the experiment.
The duty and responsibility for ascertaining the quality of the consent rests upon each individual who initiates, directs or engages in the experiment. It is a personal duty and responsibility which may not be delegated to another with impunity.
2. The experiment should be such as to yield fruitful results for the good of society, unprocurable by other methods or means of study, and not random and unnecessary in nature.
3. The experiment should be so designed and based on the results of animal experimentation and a knowledge of the natural history of the disease or other problem under study that the anticipated results will justify the performance of the experiment.
4. The experiment should be so conducted as to avoid all unnecessary physical and mental suffering and injury.
5. No experiment should be conducted where there is an a priori reason to believe that death or disabling injury will occur; except, perhaps, in those experiments where the experimental physicians also serve as subjects.
6. The degree of risk to be taken should never exceed that determined by the humanitarian importance of the problem to be solved by the experiment.
7. Proper preparations should be made and adequate facilities provided to protect the experimental subject against even remote possibilities of injury, disability, or death.
8. The experiment should be conducted only by scientifically qualified persons. The highest degree of skill and care should be required through all stages of the experiment of those who conduct or engage in the experiment.
9. During the course of the experiment the human subject should be at liberty to bring the experiment to an end if he has reached the physical or mental state where continuation of the experiment seems to him to be impossible.
10. During the course of the experiment the scientist in charge must be prepared to terminate the experiment at any stage, if he has probable cause to believe, in the exercise of the good faith, superior skill, and careful judgment required of him, that a continuation of the experiment is likely to result in injury, disability, or death to the experimental subject.
The Nuremberg Code is the most important document in the history of the ethics of medical research.1-6 The Code was formulated 50 years ago, in August 1947, in Nuremberg, Germany, by American judges sitting in judgment of Nazi doctors accused of conducting murderous and torturous human experiments in the concentration camps (the so-called Doctors’ Trial).7 It served as a blueprint for today’s principles that ensure the rights of subjects in medical research. Because of its link with the horrors of World War II and the use of prisoners in Nazi concentration camps for medical experimentation, debate continues today about the authority of the Code, its applicability to modern medical research, and even its authorship.1,2,4,5,8 The chief prosecutor at the Doctors’ Trial, General Telford Taylor, believed that one of the three U.S. judges, Harold Sebring, was the author of the Code.2 Two American physicians who helped prosecute the Nazi doctors at Nuremberg, Leo Alexander and Andrew Ivy, have each been identified as the Code’s author.5,8-11 A careful reading of the transcript of the Doctors’ Trial, background documents, and the final judgment reveals that authorship was shared and that the famous 10 principles of the Code grew out of the trial itself.
In this article I will explain the important role that physicians had in the prosecution of the Nazi doctors and in the formulation of the Nuremberg Code and summarize how medical researchers have used the Code as a guide over the past five decades.
Is this misinformation?
Has anyone asked the CDC how much money they are making from their patents on the Corona virus,detection,treatment and vaccines?
Thanks!
I didn’t print out the article because it never occurred to me, and boy was I naive, that the NEJM would ever remove an article discussing the importance of informed consent from their website.
Note to Big Med: I won’t make that mistake again.
It’s hard to take Psaki and this administration seriously regarding vaccinations when the southern border is wide open allowing individuals with COVID and all kinds of other diseases into the country.
Sen. Rand Paul: How about you ask the NEJM why they did that.
Follow the money. Pharmaceutical companies are being paid directly from the government for vaccines to be administered to as large a population as possible. Kick backs are well known to exist in government contracts, some directly, some in the form of campaign “donations”, some by payment in kind and probably a bunch of stuff that lobbyists have come up with I can’t even imagine. So what you have is a version of the Hunger Games. The Capital getting rich off the districts. So what if a few people die from the vaccine. It’s for the Capitals good.
Biden’s administration is getting real good at propaganda spreading. Wow. It’s like 1984’s truth ministry. You tell me they don’t see how they are coming across to the people! They know and they don’t care. They know who and what they are and they are proud of it.

[Today, the White House would order Big Tech and the MSM not to cover the permanent terrible side effects from the jab. It would just be a full-on Soviet-like propaganda campaign telling everybody to take the vax and ignore the negative consequences.]
Bkmk
Bill Gates used to make $150 on a $2 disk and now he has found vaccines are more profitable.
Prior restraint.
Censorship.
Unconstitutional.
The government cannot have companies do actions on its behalf, which are unconstitutional for the government itself to do.

Bingo. The Big Guy scheme on a national basis.
The MSM full throttle in scare mode.
Dems not acting as they see this as a way to get mail in ballots again in 2022
The biggest spreader of misinformation on Covid is the Federal government.
