Google Tells Australian Government of $1 Billion Global Campaign to Censor ‘COVID-19 Misinformation’
The Epoch Times ^ | August 28, 2021 | Nina Nguyen

Posted on 08/29/2021 9:33:55 PM PDT by Mount Athos

Google reported to the Australian federal government that it has removed around 800,000 YouTube videos concerning COVID-19, and 275 million COVID-19 apps from across its platform as part of its $1 billion (US $726 million) global campaign to “counter COVID-19 misinformation.”

It has also launched a US $3 million fund to wipe out alleged vaccine misinformation.

Google regards official government information from national health departments or the World Health Organization as reliable sources. Meanwhile, the WHO has noted that information changes over time as the world “learns more about the virus.”

Lucinda Longcroft, Google’s director of government affairs and public policy for Australia and New Zealand, told a Senate committee on foreign interference through social media in July that Google has extensive automated systems and a global network of staff to remove “false or misleading” COVID-19 content “as rapidly as possible.”

This is combined with algorithmic tools to help promote government-approved COVID-19 information and bury “borderline” content, which was defined in a January blog post by Youtube as content that “comes close to—but doesn’t quite cross the line of—violating our Community Guidelines.”

“This has been a broad campaign and activity across our organisation,” Longcroft said. “We have deployed significant resources and developed innovative tools, both human-based and machine-based, to curb harmful information and promote authoritative information.”

During the Senate meeting, Longcroft also confirmed that Google had “engaged very closely” with the Australian government, giving it AU $3.6 million worth of free advertising, resulting in 20.6 million impressions of government-approved COVID-19 information for Australian users.

The Goog is an irretrievably unreformable monopoly that must be splintered apart, just as AT&T and Standard Oil were.

Why would any sane person use their search engine? I do listen to YouTube.

In other words :

Stop Ivermectin, before the world realizes that a cheap, safe, effective drug can end this mask and vaccine mania immediately.

Big Pharma needs the money !

For years, muslims in some countries have said Jews are poisoning polio vaccines, was anything done to counter this disinformation?

While the media and government prohibit the truth......We Stand and Deliver:

Heres the scoop on Ivermectin:

If you cannot get a physician’s prescription, you can order it here:

1) https://www.ziverdo-kit.com

2) https://www.indiamart.com ( get 12 mg tabs)

Protocols to follow for both Prophylaxis and Therapy for Infection:

https://covid19criticalcare.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/FLCCC-I-MASK-Protocol-v4-2020-11-22.pdf

Ivermectin is no longer a banned treatment by the CDC. They are just “not recommending” it.

You will need over the counter Zinc, Vitamin D and Quercetin supplements.

Hundreds of Feepers stocked up over the last 6 months.

********************************

https://www.researchgate.net/publication/343390023_Ivermectin_docks_to_the_SARS-CoV-2_spike_receptor-binding_domain_attached_to_A

There is reasonably solid evidence that ivermectin docks to the spike protein itself to prevent binding to the ACE2 receptor which is the primary pathology causing the tissue damage and clots related to SARS-CoV-2. Therefore, this is also an implication that this ability of ivermectin to disable the binding of the Spike protein including the vaccine-produced spike proteins. This binding of ivermectin to disable the spike protein is also preserved even with the newer spike protein mutations, but its activity against the original Wuhan spike protein,(the one vaccines were designed to produce) is fairly well studied at this point.

Abstract:

Background/Aim: Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is an infectious disease caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). One drug that has attracted interest is the antiparasitic compound ivermectin, a macrocyclic lactone derived from the bacterium Streptomyces avermitilis. We carried out a docking study to determine if ivermectin might be able to attach to the SARS-CoV-2 spike receptor-binding domain bound with ACE2. Materials and Methods: We used the program AutoDock Vina Extended to perform the docking study. Results: Ivermectin docked in the region of leucine 91 of the spike and histidine 378 of the ACE2 receptor. The binding energy of ivermectin to the spike-ACE2 complex was -18 kcal/mol and binding constant was 5.8 e-08. Conclusion: The ivermectin docking we identified may interfere with the attachment of the spike to the human cell membrane. Clinical trials now underway should determine whether ivermectin is an effective treatment for SARS-Cov2 infection.

The following video explains the multiple mechanisms of the activity of Ivermectin including the ability of the body to maintain its basic defense of the cell nucleus in preserving the body’s ability to produce antiviral proteins, inhibition of RNA dependant RNA polymerase which inhibits the replication of viral RNA (possibly including that from the mRNA vaccine package), the stat 3 human signaling pathway which inhibits the production of blood clots also possibly mitigating some of the vaccines most dangerous side effects. Also discussed is the inhibition of the CD147 pathway by ivermectin which again may block the clumping of platelets due to spike protein either from the virus or possibly the vaccines.

Note: Ivermectin therapy likley will gradually rid the body of spike proteins altogether, something to remember for those who might have residual side effects from mRNA vaccine.

Let's see... ... 800,000 YouTube videos concerning COVID-19, and 275 million COVID-19 apps ... at a cost of $726,000,000


Golly!

That's only $2.63 each!

Now THAT is really cost effective!
