Another Tech Company Attacks “Health Misinformation”

Discord recently announced an update to its terms of service that prohibits “false or misleading health information that is likely to result in harm.” Through clouds of corporate-speak, the new rules go on to imply that criticism of the COVID-19 vaccines, disputing the guidance of health authorities, and advocating for unapproved treatments will be banned on the platform.

This is disappointing in part because Discord has largely remained decentralized, allowing users to form and regulate private servers, and has stayed out of meddling in what users can and cannot say except for broad, less-intrusive rules.

I’m in charge of moderating Out of Frame’s Discord server, and these rules put us in an awkward position. To comply and keep Discord from banning our server, we must play the role of justices of the Supreme Court, interpreting passages such as:

​​​​​”Discord users also may not post or promote content that attempts to sway opinion through the use of sensationalized, alarmist, or hyperbolic language, or any content that repeats widely-debunked health claims, unsubstantiated rumors, or conspiratorial narratives.”

and

“We allow the sharing of personal health experiences; opinions and commentary (so long as such views are based in fact and will not lead to harm); good-faith discussions about medical science and research […]”

Not only do these rules include numerous terms that are subject to interpretation (conspiratorial, good-faith, alarmist) and that would be ambiguous enough to enforce fairly if they didn’t require moderators to be experts in the current scientific consensus regarding any particular medical issue, but they also require us to know the unknowable. No one can be galaxy-brained enough to predict the future and calculate all the possible consequences of a piece of information being distributed. Not users, not moderators, not algorithms, or anything else can know for a fact whether a concept will “cause harm.”

Fauci Says MORE Vaccines WILL Be Needed; “We’re Not Done With This”

Health dictator Anthony Fauci declared Monday that Americans will need to take more COVID vaccines, just a day after the CEO of Pfizer proclaimed that a fourth shot is needed immediately.

In an interview with CNBC, Fauci was asked how many more shots will be needed, and responded “The answer is: we don’t know. I mean, that’s it…it is likely that we’re not done with this when it comes to vaccines.”

The comments dovetail with those of Albert Bourla, who said Sunday “It is necessary – a fourth boost – right now,” when asked about vaccines.

The Pfizer head said “The protection that you are getting from the third [vaccine] is… not that good against infections, but doesn’t last very long but we are just submitting those data to the FDA and then we will see what the experts also will say outside Pfizer.”

The US Military Has Its Own Version of VAERS, And The Results Are Frightening

On January 24, Senator Ron Johnson (R-Wisconsin) held a round-table discussion on the COVID shots and other treatment protocols. Near the end of the 5-hour discussion, attorney Thomas Renz stunned attendees with data obtained from the Defense Medical Epidemiology Database (DMED). This data was obtained by Renz from three whistleblowers who felt the data must be shared with the general public.

Why did the whistleblowers feel so strongly about it?

DMED contains anonymized medical data of all US military servicemen and women, and there is overwhelming proof that the COVID-19 jabs are causing devastating harm.

Here’s a sample of what the database contains:

  • 300% increase in miscarriages
  • 300% increase in certain cancers, and
  • 1000% increase in neurological disorders.
    • Bell’s Palsy (319%)
    • Guillain-Barre Syndrome (250%)
    • Multiple sclerosis and other demyelinating diseases (487%)

Put in perspective, Renz explained that between January and November 2021, neurological disorders jumped from 82,000 to 863,000.

Let that sink in.

Other shocking data include:

  • Pulmonary embolisms (467%)
  • Immunodeficiencies (275%)
  • Neoplasms (often a precursor to cancer) (296%)
  • Non-traumatic hemorrhages (including subarachnoid and intracranial) (312%)
  • Spontaneous abortions and miscarriages (306%)
  • HIV (590%)

To put the HIV cases into perspective, over the last five years, the military database reported, on average, 454 annual cases. But in the first ten months of 2021, the number of reported HIV cases jumped to 2,681.

And, by the way, the jabs are not preventing military men and women from being diagnosed with  the SARS-CoV2 virus.

Top Doctors at Vancouver Coastal Health Say Covid-19 Vaccine is Not Effective at Preventing Infection or Transmission of Omicron Variant – Calls on to Drop Covid-19 Restrictions

In mid-February, top doctors at Vancouver Coastal Health (VCH)  sent a letter to the University of British Columbia (UBC) to end its mandatory rapid testing and  Covid-19 restriction, claiming that these measures may cause more harm than good.

VCH Chief Medical Health Officer Dr. Patricia Daly and three other medical health officers urged the UBC to discontinue mandatory rapid testing for students, employees, and staff, claiming that rapid antigen testing is ‘unreliable in identifying infection with the Omicron variant.’

“While we applaud UBC for its work to protect and promote the wellbeing of students, staff and faculty, we believe some of the measures in place on campus – such as ongoing mandatory rapid tests for unvaccinated students and staff, and related employment/academic sanctions – are not useful in preventing the transmission of COVID-19 on campus. Not only is Rapid Antigen Testing of asymptomatic people unreliable in identifying infection with the Omicron variant, but we have no evidence that those who have not complied with UBC policies have posed any public health risk to their fellow students, faculty, or staff, even during circulation of other variants.”

The doctors also insisted on discontinuing the university’s intent to deregister students who have not complied with the mandatory testing and those who failed to declare their vaccination status.

5 Stories Ignored by Mainstream Media While They Focus Solely on Ukraine

As we have been reporting for the last three weeks, the Russian invasion of Ukraine is horrific. Russian president Vladimir Putin is a thug who is committing war crimes and who is killing innocent Ukrainians while endangering the people of Russia — all the while threatening nuclear war. While this war is not near American soil, because of the United States’ involvement in NATO and its relationship with Ukraine, it most certainly affects all Americans.

US sanctions on Russia have helped to drive oil prices up nearly 50 percent since this conflict began, which is undoubtedly going to drive up the cost of literally everything else.

These things most assuredly affect the lives of millions of Americans and this war deserves coverage in the media. That being said, given the track record of US media, and their tendency to deceive the American public to get them to accept wars for profit, we shouldn’t be so quick to let down our guard and unquestioningly absorb the constant barrage of information coming from them.

If the mainstream media was so concerned about wars and illegal invasions why don’t they ever report on the genocide in Yemen which is being aided by the United States or any of the other places the US has invaded over the years? The corporate press is actively avoiding these conflicts while conveniently using the Ukraine crisis as a means of ignoring other very important stories that also affect your life.

Texas Authorities Raid Far-Left Harris County Judge’s Office, Seize Computers in Probe Related to $11 Million ‘Vaccine Contract’ Awarded to Political Crony

Texas Rangers on Friday morning raided the office of Harris County Judge Lina Hidalgo and executed a search warrant related to an $11 million ‘vaccine outreach contract’ awarded to one of the judge’s political cronies, KHOU 11 News reported.

Recall, radical far-left judge Lina Hidalgo was one of the most aggressive Covid tyrants in Texas during the pandemic.

In May 2020 Lina Hidalgo called on Texans to snitch on restaurants if they had big crowds.

Hidalgo also previously threatened 180 days in jail for those who opposed her stay at home orders.

Now she’s being investigated for canceling an $11 million vaccine contract after questions were raised that it was with a one-person firm with no experience.

British MP Calls Scale of COVID-19 Vaccine Damage a ‘Nightmare’

A veteran MP believes that tens of thousands have been severely adversely affected by COVID-19 vaccines in the UK and is calling on the government for more support.

“The public is going to catch on in the end,” Sir Christopher Chope told The Epoch Times.

“All the harms that have been caused and the fact that there are a whole lot of people out there who did the right thing and now, contrary to their expectation, are not receiving the help from the government that they believed they were to receive. That’s where I am in this,” he said.

The Conservative MP believes that tens of thousands have been adversely affected by vaccines. He said that the debate is not about all those who have benefited from vaccination, he firmly believes in them. But it’s about those who were vaccinated but then, as a result, suffered death, serious injury, or other life-changing adverse consequences.
