He is a brilliant scientist that dared to interview a prominent critical care physician about the possible benefits of Ivermectin. This doctor he interviewed is legit and not a hack. That caused strike 1.

His second strike was for saying he believes the evidence from other countries point to it likely being a good drug to use in the field with very little downside. Basically low risk, high reward.

I believe this is a major source of income for his family right now.

He is about to be canceled and it is an absolute fricking shame that we as a society are okay with silencing science that they don't like. It's not about him being right or wrong. It's about ostracizing scientists for deviating from the desired narrative.

The dude shouldn’t be silenced over this kind of shite.

People who espouse the benefits of ivermectin for Covid should be able to freely discuss it while everyone else freely laughs at them.

Terrible….He also was one of the first to call into the question the wet market theory of the rona virus. He is the first person I recall stating that it was probably a lab bred virus. Silencing a brilliant man like him is not good for the republic.

I’m so tired of big tech shutting down people they don’t agree with.

Exactly. It is bad enough that Google and Facebook think of themselves as arbitrators of truth, but what motivates them to suppress discussions about things they believe are incorrect? It seems awfully dystopian to me.

I can kind of sort of understand the flags and stuff they do, but the outright silencing of stuff is ridiculous.

Did Big Tech not learn their lesson over censorship after this lab leak fiasco? Or the recent reports on HCQ?

No, of course not. Weinstein should find a new platform, YT doesn’t deserve good content

I know Roger Waters isn't very popular down here after his anti-trump laced concert in the Smoothie King Arena.

But even he is on board with the anti-censorship movement. This is a GREAT thing.
Yahoo News Roger Waters says frick you to Facebook

quote:

Waters went further by blasting Facebook's "insidious movement" to "take over absolutely everything," declaring he will "not be a party to this bulls---" while mockingly quoting from Zuckerberg's "missive" to him and blasting the Facebook boss as a "little prick." He made his comments at a pro-Julian Assange event, Rolling Stone reports.

"How the f--- did he get any power in anything?" Waters asked of Zuckerberg. "And yet here he is, one of the most powerful idiots in the world."



Rolling Stone Article about Waters telling Zuck to frick off
quote:

“How did this little prick who started out as ‘She’s pretty, we’ll give her a four out of five, she’s ugly, we’ll give her a four out of five,’ how did we give him any power?” Waters asked. “And yet here he is, one of the most powerful idiots in the world.”

I would love to hear your arguments against anything Dr. Kory's presented, but I'm not holding my breath.

, I don’t really give a damn about ivermectin one way or the other. The point remains that speech should be allowed and properly ridiculed if warranted, but not silenced.

I will take Bret’s opinion on science over the general populace’s opinion 8 days a week. Most people are too dumb to comprehend the consequences of sacrificing freedom for safety.

Wait, so first you have enough conviction to say that people who have open minds about Ivermectin should be freely ridiculed, but now you're saying you don't care one way or the other?

Sigh. The point is that it doesn’t matter if this is about ivermectin, drinking bleach, or mRNA vaccines - silencing it is wrong. Let the people decide.

I think I’m leaning more and more in favor of decentralized internet on crypto rails in the form of dApps as being a huge part of the future of the internet as censorship becomes more and more of a problem. Like I know there is a dApp called DTube that claims to be a distributed version of YouTube.

His podcast just had Robert Malone, the guy that literally invented mRNA vaccine technology to talk about the vaccine.

This fellow, ya know the guy that INVENTED mRNA VACCINE TECHNOLOGY, basically said it’s ok to discuss the dangers of this vaccine because it’s unlike anything else

They also talked about people being silenced over this. Looks like big tech fell right into the trap

No one is denying his right to say anything. YouTube just doesn't care to host it on their platform.
