Censorship of dissident medical views - many of which were later proven correct - during this period doesn't concern you?
I pointed out the existence of differing viewpoints being silenced, was shouted down, and you follow this up with mockery?
- PaulDavisThe1st 4y ago1. I don't believe there was "censorship of dissident views" - this is a framing I reject 2. I followed up the mockery with a serious point that you have not responded to.

- PaulDavisThe1st 4y agoYou reject the framing that there were major differences of opinion in the appropriate public health policy to adopt in the presence of COVID-19? Censorship? What the OP means by censorship is not what I mean by censorship. Were heterodox ideas etc. surrounding COVID-19 severely criticized? Yes. Were they even limited or deleted from social media? Yes. Were they still published in blogs? In various traditional media? Yes. Could you encounter them on cable news? Yes. Was anyone tried or even arrested for promoting or distributing such ideas? No. That's not the way we treat the announcement of a lemonade stand, but it's also not what I consider censorship in any meaningful way.
