How Facebook uses ‘fact-checking’ to suppress scientific truth

At the end of a recent 800-meter race in Oregon, a high-school runner named Maggie Williams got dizzy, passed out and landed face-first just beyond the finish line. She and her coach blamed her collapse on a deficit of oxygen due to the mask she’d been forced to wear, and state officials responded to the public outcry by easing their requirements for masks during athletic events.

But long before the pandemic began, scientists had repeatedly found that wearing a mask could lead to oxygen deprivation. Why had this risk been ignored?

One reason is that a new breed of censors has been stifling scientific debate about masks on social-media platforms. When Scott Atlas, a member of the Trump White House’s coronavirus task force, questioned the efficacy of masks last year, Twitter removed his tweet. When eminent scientists from Stanford and Harvard recently told Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis that children should not be forced to wear masks, YouTube removed their video discussion from its platform. These acts of censorship were widely denounced, but the social-media science police remain undeterred, as I discovered when I recently wrote about the harms to children from wearing masks.

IT BEGINS: Fully Vaccinated People in Oregon Must Show Proof of Vaccination Status in Order to Enter Businesses Without a Mask

Oregon has gone from a liberal hell hole to 1930s Germany overnight.

The Oregon Health Authority is now requiring businesses and religious institutions to enforce mask mandates by forcing people to show proof of vaccination.

The CDC last week updated its mask guidance and said fully vaccinated people no longer need to wear masks indoors.

In order to prevent the unvaccinated from walking around unmasked, Oregon health officials are now creating a caste system by marking the unvaxxed lepers.

“Businesses, employers and faith institutions now have the option to adjust their masking guidance to allow fully vaccinated individuals to no longer wear a mask in their establishments,” OHA’s website said. “Businesses, employers and faith institutions doing so must have a policy in place to check the vaccination status of all individuals before they enter their establishment. Businesses, employers and faith institutions who do not create such policies will maintain the same masking guidance listed below, regardless of an individual’s vaccination status.”

Hypocrites: Maskless Hugs and Handshakes are Back at the White House as Pelosi Fines GOP Lawmakers For Ditching Their Masks

The White House on Thursday was packed with smiling, maskless Democrat lawmakers and Biden officials shaking hands and hugging.

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi was among the maskless lawmakers at the White House on Thursday.

There are two sets of rules: One for Democrats and elites in the Biden Admin and one for GOP lawmakers.

Pelosi is still requiring lawmakers to wear a mask on the House floor despite the CDC recommendation that vaccinated people can be indoors without a face mask.

Pelosi is fining GOP lawmakers $500 each for flouting her mask rules.

GOP lawmakers are refusing to wear masks so Pelosi is now suggesting that members of Congress who don’t prove vaccination status should be denied access to the House floor.

Pelosi Suggests Lawmakers Who Don’t Prove Vaccination Status Should Be Denied Access to the House Floor

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi on Thursday suggested that members of Congress who don’t prove vaccination status should be denied access to the House floor.

There is a rebellion brewing over Pelosi’s mask mandate.

GOP lawmakers are refusing to wear masks so Pelosi is throwing a tantrum.

“I mean we could come to a place where we say if you don’t want to wear a mask…if you’re not vaccinated, don’t even come to the floor. We have facilities up above in the gallery where people can come to vote,” Pelosi said.

Politifact Quietly Admits COVID-19 Lab Escape Not ‘Debunked Conspiracy Theory’

Last January, when China and the World Health Organization (WHO) were performing damage control for Beijing over a mysterious new coronavirus which broke out in the same town as their secretive bat coronavirus lab (with whom, unbeknownst to most at the time, a Fauci-funded NGO called EcoHealth Alliance had been working), anyone who logically suggested a link between the secretive lab and the new disease was immediately punished by Silicon Valley tech giants who protected China from those who dare speculate based on very. obvious. clues.

Twitter suspended Zero Hedge after a BuzzFeed journalist (later fired for plagiarism) accused us of ‘doxxing a Chinese scientist it falsely accused of creating coronavirus’ (with publicly available information). Five months later Twitter restored our account after mounting public pressure – saying they had “made an error.”

Facebook banned our articles – and policed COVID ‘disinformation’ based on the word of so-called “fact checkers” who insisted that the new disease couldn’t have possibly escaped from the Wuhan Institute of Virology, and must have emerged via yet-to-be discovered animal intermediaries between bats and humans. Of course, one of Facebook’s “fact checkers” worked at the Wuhan lab.
