Episode Date: December 2, 2022‘Censorship kills’ is the rally cry for a global medical community under unfathomable pressure from big tech and government to stifle the Covid debate.

Fortunately, we're seeing a lot of people pushing it back against it.
And even in our political class here in the United States, we have U.S. representative
Chip Roy, he's a representative from Texas.
And he and his fellow members of the House Freedom Caucus, this is a congressional caucus,
held a COVID-19 accountability hearing to talk about, you know, one of the big things was censorship.
Take a listen to how that went.
Okay.
We've had a good conversation here about our response to the pandemic.
We're going to talk a little bit more about vaccines in a minute.
But we want to make sure we have some time here set aside.
for medical censorship. Each of you have talked about that. I think it's important to highlight it.
Again, this is a preview of where we need to go with longer, deeper hearings in the next Congress.
This session that we want to cover a pattern of medical censorship throughout the pandemic,
each of you have talked about you. Two of you are co-authors of the Great Barrington Declaration,
which advocated for a focused protection approach by protecting the elderly and most vulnerable
and not locking down healthy children. And despite that declaration being completely apolitical,
Dr. Fauci and Collins labeled it fringe and did their best to impugn the expertise of its authors and signers.
Under the Biden administration, public health bureaucrats at the CDC work closely with Big Tech to shut down voices that encountered their narrative under the guise of stopping misinformation.
Now you have California punishing doctors who speak up under a new law.
I'm going to turn this over to my friend from Florida, but let me just start really quickly for any of the witnesses.
What effect does medical censorship have on the medical profession in the field of science?
broadly and then I'm going to turn over my front for Florida.
It's a disaster. It's a disaster.
When you have a new disease like this, a new epidemic like this, it is absolutely vital to get the honest ideas and opinions of every expert,
no matter what conclusion they come to. You learn the truth by this kind of debate.
What censorship did is it's not just that it suppressed the voices of the people that were censored, although that was bad enough.
It's sent a signal to the other scientists that's like to the –
look, these areas are too controversial.
Stay out of them.
Otherwise, you're going to lose your reputation too.
And as a result, you have this illusion of a consensus
that never existed on so many topics.
We rob the American people of a true debate,
a true discussion about this.
I mean, it's not that we're always right.
I mean, Lord knows that's not true.
The issue is the truth comes from people honestly
engaging with the data.
Censorship kills that.
Censorship kills some.
I think censorship actually killed people during this pandemic.
It's such brilliant truth.
And when you see the three gentlemen sitting there, Badacharya, Koldorf, and Atlas, all at the top of their game, really, some of the best doctors and scientists in the world.
And they have been censored and under threat.
And that is what these hearings are about.
And I have to say, you know, not to be political on this, but as a lifelong, former lifelong doctor,
Democrat, I don't see a single one of these panels with a Democrat on it. I don't understand
what's happened. I know all of you that are out there conservatives say, well, wake up. It's always
been that way. But there was something to being a liberal. I was raised to believe in liberty.
My parents fought for freedom of education and, you know, against wars. And now I find that the party
I grew up in is pro-war, is fighting wars. And those that used to, you know, considers themselves
Democrats and anti-war are upset.
when Donald Trump was pulling out of Afghanistan.
All of these things are just, like, it's just that reversal, right?
Everything is on its head, and it's shocking that we find ourselves in these positions
and having to watch great scientists state the obvious.
Censorship equals death.
Right, and that should be really a takeaway from Dr. Bottasaria there.
Amazing statement.
Censorship kills people.
So you see, you know, signs on people's lawns.
you see these memes saying, we do not stand for hate.
We're pro-democracy.
We're pro-science.
Under the guise of all of those things, we have seen record censorship of the medical
community.
And so that's what's happening.
So anybody in the medical community that wants to be pro-science against hate,
against violence, censorship kills people.
So this is what we're talking about here.
When we talked about the vaccine not stopping efficacy, the vaccine efficacy, not stopping
infection or transmission, even ivermectin, hydroxychloroquine. This was just flatly censored.
And that really killed people because those medications could have helped people.
The understanding that this vaccine didn't stop transmission could have helped people as well
from the get-go. So I'm just looking at the reversal of that, right? They literally said the products
that worked that had up between 50 and 80% success rate in hydroxychloroquine and Ivermectin,
those were dangerous. The things that could heal you were label as dangerous, the product that had
never been properly safety tested and ultimately didn't do anything was promoted as our only
way out that was going to heal us. Pax Lovit is the only safe drug. And now we've seen that
its interactions with drugs is causing problems for millions of people around the world. So,
again, everything is almost the opposite of what we're being told. Right. And explaining this as
someone may be hearing it for the first time, okay, you have an experimental vaccine product that is
being pushed out to the public and warp speed. The safety science,
was cut, the science timelines were cut, even though we were told they weren't cut, no corners
were cut, they were cut. And we have a medical community, an intelligentsia of very qualified
people ready to dig into this data and look at it and really help and help with this warp speed
to make sure everything's safe. On the flip side, you have a recently retired vaccine research
and development head at Pfizer coming out with a headline like this. COVID vaccines. We flew the airplane
while we were still building it. This is Catherine Jensen, retired head of the R&D at Pfizer. And now she's
not working there anymore. She can talk a little, I guess a little freer. So this is a big expose in nature.
And she says this in the article. I mean, just jaw dropping. We got creative talking about developing
this COVID vaccine. We couldn't wait for data. We had to do so much at risk. We flew the airplane
while we were still building it. All the bureaucracy fell away. We were doing things in parallel,
looking at data and doing the manufacturing.
Usually manufacturing doesn't get involved until years into the program.
So this is why, this is the flip side of it.
They're just racing for this thing.
And you have doctors like Dr. Atlas, Baccharia, saying, let's look at some of this.
These restrictions may not be, you know, appropriate for this intervention that's not stopping transmission.
And so this is the big story.
And the big story now, as we've already covered is, you know, Department of Homeland Security,
One of the big pillars for them now is disinformation around vaccine efficacy, around medical conversations,
really just gatekeeping that debate on all digital platforms.
So the Department of Homeland Security was created by George W. Bush.
It was handed off to Obama, Trump as well, and also Biden.
And this department has continued.
And it's interesting now because out of the shadows, disinformation is the biggest ticket in town now.
We have George W. Bush and Barack Obama holding back.
to back conferences. George W. Bush and Barack Obama will hold back to back disinformation conferences
following Trump's big announcement on Tuesday, but organizers say it wasn't planned. So there really
doesn't have anything to do with Trump. The Homeland Security Act was started and enacted in 2002,
which created Department of Homeland Security. And this thing has been going ever since. And now it's
aimed at the medical discussion. Everyday people talking about their vaccine injuries from this
COVID vaccine. But the real big story here is this digital space. It's becoming highly regulated. It's
becoming centered, is becoming controlled, so we can't even ask questions or do proper investigations.
