If you're so afraid get your jabs, boosters and stay in your cave. Don't tell anyone else to abdicate their nationality and rights to satisfy your cravings for retaliation.

Only showing the lie that Twitter is an open platform.
"Open" is-and-always-has-been relative. There are a great many things no one is ever going to be allowed to say on the internet.
So, calling Twitter being an open platform a "lie" is itself a lie. It's never been completely open, and only people who strive to misrepresent it would ever claim otherwise.
In other news, there is no right to free speech on the internet...

At least read the links instead of shooting from the hip based on ignorance. Go back to my #7
Could have? The court ruled and twitter ban lost. The rest of your post is more lies
The problem is they have become the defacto town hall and censorship is against all that this nation stands for.
You are correct, especially when it comes from left leaning entities.
But being from the left, they will listen to the leftists in the White House. "Good idea" they say, "Why didn't we think of that? We will get right on it Mr. President, if this person is your enemy, he is our enemy".
But they like to put out the fiction that they do have free speech.
Yes the left does not like free speech.
But when the government is wrong like on Covid? They have been wrong more than they have been right. They caved to the teacher's unions on what they wanted to happen, the CDC folded like a cheap suitcase.
The government is often wrong; it happens. With the COVID the pandemic, the government had to fight with emerging science and technology, not to mention the rank partisanship which always complicates decisions/organization. In short, it got some things wrong, but any government in that situation will perform similarly. This is also true of the Trump government; it was trying to fight a complicated battle, and insofar as Trump was NOT the main force behind the government's response, that government deserves as much benefit of the doubt as Biden's.
Don't feel the need to support the above with links - but I'm highly skeptical that this is true. If they were wrong more than right, the effects of the pandemic would not have been mitigated to a significant degree.
Thank you for admitting that.
The government said you get the vax and you will be protected from Covid. Biden and Fauci got the vax, multiple boosters, and still got Covid. Fauci was arguing against natural immunity, it's better than a vax. The lockdowns, especially in the schools was ineffective. Many European countries kept their schools open as children were the least likely to get the Covid. Most of the people who died had serious co-morbidity problems, especially the elderly.
They said it, it was true, and it's still true.
Yes, of course. The vaccine never gave you 100% protection from catching COVID; it:
- lessened the chance that you'd catch it.
- lowered the chance that if you caught it, you'd be hospitalized from it
- lowered the chance that if you caught it and were hospitalized, you'd die from it.
This claim has been removed from the context in which Fauci argued against natural immunity. He never said natural immunity wouldn't work. Instead, he argued that natural immunity is (by itself) an insufficient standard of protection for the general population. Vaccination and natural immunity combined are (and have always been) the way to go.
This is debatable. The lockdowns helped prevent the virus being transmitted to the older more vulnerable population by school kids. This absolutely was effective. Still, we know more about the virus now, and it's mutated enough that our concerns are more tightly focused than they were.
This varied by the strain of the virus in question, and also by the extent to which those European countries had to worry about the pandemic. It did not affect every country the same way. For example, those countries which didn't have as many people coming in and out of them were able to get by with mitigation procedures that wouldn't have worked with larger, more economically-vibrant populations.
This is true, but I don't see how it's relevant.
You mean only the science you agree with...since there are well known epidemiologists who disagree with your view, the CDC and your lord Fauci.

A private company banning an individual from social media is not censorship.
You have the right to speech, not the right to a platform.
No, that is not true.
I knew that was coming next. The absolutely, positively said getting the vax would prevent you from getting Covid. That was one big fat lie as we all now know.

You mean throw the shots out because nobody wants them? Many of us did not get the shots in the first place.

Assumptions based on delusion.
You increase your chances of dying going out your door.
I don't know if they do or don't but you would make a better fit in Korea.
What you miss is that the government has no right to intrude on that right of free speech by using a private company as their agent, and that is what they did because they knew they had no legal leg to stand on if they had arrested Mr. Berensen for his opinion. The latest is that since he won his lawsuit against Twitter, he is now suing the White House for violating his 1st Amendment rights, and that is a good thing. If the suit is allowed to go forward, those Marxists in the White House will have to answer some very uncomfortable questions. Let's hope he succeeds.
Actually, as long as no coercion or retribution of any kind can be shown, the government is allowed to advise privately-owned companies of the need for censorship. The final decision is up to the company, of course, but as long and they're the ones making the changes (and not the government), no violation of free speech rights has taken place.
So, the real question is to the status of the legal filings against the government. How is it doing? Is there any evidence the Biden administration threatened or coerced Twitter in any way?
