By whom?


So that article that SoloTiger linked is by a guy named Joseph Mercola. He’s a known disinformation guy who took down a lot of his stuff when pressed by scientists and lawyers. It should tell you a lot that the article posted in the Atlanta Business Journal didn’t give his name, it was posted anonymously by the admin of the site but if you click on the links to his other articles then you can see who it is.

Facing pressure from pro-science groups and digital activists, the anti-vaccine founder of one of the world’s biggest natural health websites has announced he will remove all his content about unproven cures for Covid-19.

Last week, Joseph Mercola, the U.S.-based multi-millionaire behind mercola.com, announced his decision to remove all articles on his site that claimed certain vitamins and supplements could treat, prevent or cure the virus.

Anti-misinformation groups see the move as an important step towards holding anti-science influencers to account. Mercola, who has over a million followers on Facebook, has promoted a number of unproven treatments or cures for Covid-19, including the inhalation of bleach.

“Joseph Mercola is a superspreader of anti-vaccine and Covid disinformation,” said Imran Ahmed, CEO of the Center for Countering Digital Hate. “The fact that he has said he will self-censor shows the impact of penalizing anti-vaccine propagandists.”

So he was forced to take down all of his OPINIONS on how supplements he's apparently hawking can prevent Covid. But the article linked by Solo has not been discredited nor has it been taken down. Probably because it's not his opinion, but rather based in fact.
