Of course it will go nowhere. Suppressing covid misinformation started in Feb 2020 well before the Biden admin, was an international effort and the only way to stop the nut jobs. "In February this year, when the new coronavirus began to spread outside China, the Director General of the World Health Organization (WHO), Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, announced: “we're not just fighting an epidemic; we're fighting an infodemic” (https://www.who.int/dg/speeches/detail/munich-security-conference). The term, coined in 2003 in the context of the first SARS epidemic, refers to a rapid proliferation of information that is often false or uncertain (https://www.merriam-webster.com/words-at-play/words-were-watching-infodemic-meaning). Academic researchers, international organizations such as the United Nations and the European Union, individual governments and the media have acknowledged and discussed the prevalence of the alleged COVID-19 infodemic and the importance of fighting it. Information campaigns have been launched to provide wider audiences with reliable information about COVID-19. Main social media platforms have also actively fought against false information by filtering out or flagging content considered as misinformation." https://www.embopress.org/doi/full/10.15252/embr.202051420

From your link: They have accused top-ranking government officials of working with Twitter, YouTube, and Meta, which owns Facebook, "under the guise of combating misinformation" in order to censor viewpoints on COVID that went against the Biden administration's position. Trump was the president when covid started through till when he left in mid Jan 2021.

Its a robust peer reviewed study I posted not an article. Try some morgue stats in the link below and feel free to back up your false claims that Africa only has around 6 percent covid vaccinated? Waiting for a chuckle..........lol Morgue Data Reveal Africa’s High COVID-19 Death Toll “This is an example of what it means to be a resource-poor country,” Gill says. “We tend to think of this just in terms of health and disease, but it also reflects the ability of poorer countries to map the impact of diseases on its populations. Rather than an ‘African paradox,’ the far simpler explanation is that COVID-19 has affected African countries just as the virus has everywhere else, but has gone undocumented.” https://www.bu.edu/sph/news/articles/2022/morgue-data-reveals-true-covid-19-death-toll-in-africa/

Elon Musk says Twitter will offer 'amnesty' to suspended accounts

Elon Musk warned of EU sanctions after banning journalists from platforms Officials in Brussels have warned Twitter owner Elon Musk the company could face sanctions “soon” after booting a series of journalists covering the billionaire off its platform. European Commissioner Vera Jourova said that the suspensions were “worrying” and that EU law protects media freedom. “News about arbitrary suspension of journalists on Twitter is worrying,” Ms Jourova said. https://uk.sports.yahoo.com/news/elon-musk-warned-eu-sanctions-113743920.html Germany says Twitter journalists ban 'unacceptable' The German Foreign Office tweeted screenshots on Friday of the accounts of journalists suspended by Twitter, telling the social media platform that suspending their accounts was unacceptable. "Press freedom cannot be switched on and off on a whim," the ministry wrote on its official Twitter page. "The journalists below can no longer follow us, comment and criticize. We have a problem with that, @Twitter." https://www.dw.com/en/germany-says-twitter-journalists-ban-unacceptable/a-64118704 -
I'll give you an opportunity to prove your claims with some credible links, in the meantime here's a couple you may wish to read: Number of administered coronavirus (COVID-19) vaccine doses per 100 people in Africa as of November 3, 2022, by country https://www.statista.com/statistics/1221298/covid-19-vaccination-rate-in-african-countries/ Underestimated COVID-19 mortality in WHO African region https://www.thelancet.com/journals/langlo/article/PIIS2214-109X(22)00425-9/fulltext

Covid-19 vaccines have saved more than 3 million lives in US, study says, but the fight isn’t over The Covid-19 vaccines have kept more than 18.5 million people in the US out of the hospital and saved more than 3.2 million lives, a new study says – and that estimate is most likely a conservative one, the researchers say. The US is nearing the second anniversary of its first Covid-19 vaccinations, and although the coronavirus is still causing thousands of illnesses and deaths, the vaccines have made living with the virus more manageable. https://edition.cnn.com/2022/12/13/health/covid-19-vaccines-study/index.html

Bkk Brian replied to Chris.B's topic in The War in Ukraine
Another day, another opportunity for Russia to prove its a terrorist state. Russia launches 'massive missile attack' on Ukraine Air raid sirens have been sounded across the country warning of a fresh devastating barrage of Russian strikes on critical energy facilities and infrastructure. Russia has launched a "massive missile attack" on Ukraine, officials said, knocking out power and forcing people to take cover in shelters across the country amid reports of fatalities. Authorities on social media reported explosions in the capital Kyiv, southern Kryvyi Rih and northeastern Kharkiv on Friday as air raid sirens were sounded across the country warning of a fresh devastating barrage of Russian strikes on critical energy facilities and infrastructure. https://news.sky.com/story/russia-launches-massive-missile-attack-on-ukraine-12769133 Russia launches another major missile attack on Ukraine Ukrainian authorities reported explosions in at least three cities Friday, saying Russia has launched a major missile attack on energy facilities and infrastructure.

XBB Covid Variant Spreading In India Will Soon Reach Thailand: Expert
Bkk Brian replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
Which is the most important aspect of these vaccines now that Omicron and its off shoots variants have arrived. Along with t cell responses: Cross reactive T cells hold up against Omicron Overall, these observations could explain why vaccines or previous infection still provide robust protection against severe disease with Omicron, even when levels of neutralizing antibodies are insufficient to prevent infection, and indicate that viral evolution is not driven by T cell escape. https://www.nature.com/articles/s41577-022-00690-8 -

Elon Musk says Twitter will offer 'amnesty' to suspended accounts
Bkk Brian replied to Scott's topic in World News
Rubbish, his doxxing is referring to his private jet location. Part of flying private in your own jet is forfeiting location privacy. Its publicly available. Nothing to do with what we're talking about but if your now trying to defelct and using that as a justification then are you also comparing these journalists as being suspended because they did not breach any rules? Nonsense -
Elon Musk says Twitter will offer 'amnesty' to suspended accounts
Bkk Brian replied to Scott's topic in World News
Only you could come up with such a false equivalent, hypothetical scenario that is already covered adequately here: https://aseannow.com/terms/ Just as a reminder to you, this is not about me, an anonymous user, it is about Elon Musk a public figure with a large security detail including a team of bodyguards. Has publicly available records on their flight data for their own private jet, is courting publicity daily and responsible himself for spreading conspiracy theories on Pelosi, Fauci and Roth. Which in turn led to one of them having to move house, arrests and threats to life and family. So let me ask you now. What evidence do you have these high profile journalists shared his private address? -

Now in media NYT statement on Twitter suspending the accounts of prominent journalists, including NYT's Ryan Mac, calls the move "questionable and unfortunate." https://www.nytimes.com/2022/12/15/technology/twitter-suspends-journalist-accounts-elon-musk.html Twitter suspends journalists who have been covering Elon Musk and the company Thursday's suspensions come as Musk has backtracked on his promise that he would run Twitter as a free speech absolutist. https://www.nbcnews.com/tech/social-media/twitter-suspends-journalists-covering-elon-musk-company-rcna62032 -

They are in Ukraine skies and they are being given to Ukraine to defend against the ongoing war crimes. Simple enough for you. I won't bother with the nazi rhetoric been through that already many times. You should instead check the “Task Force Rusich” a Russian neo nazi brigade currently in Ukraine The official Telegram channel for “Task Force Rusich” – currently fighting in Ukraine on behalf of the Kremlin and linked to the notorious Wagner Group – last week requested members to forward details relating to border posts and military movements in the three Baltic states, which were formerly part of the Soviet Union. https://www.theguardian.com/world/2022/dec/11/neo-nazi-russian-militia-appeals-for-intelligence-on-nato-member-states

The letter you are citing makes claims and references a Lancet study. The claims the letter author is making are that: "immune function among vaccinated individuals 8 months after the administration of two doses of COVID-19 vaccine was lower than that among the unvaccinated individuals." Did you go to the study in question? https://www.thelancet.com/journals/lancet/article/PIIS0140-6736(22)00089-7/fulltext At no point in its robust and detailed analysis does it come to those conclusions. COVID-19 vaccines don’t weaken the immune system; Lancet study misrepresented in Virology Journal comment Misleading: The review article by Seneff et al. provided no evidence that COVID-19 vaccines weaken the immune system. On 21 July 2022, Fox News host Tucker Carlson claimed that “it’s looking likely that [COVID-19] vaccines suppress the immune system”. To support that assertion, Carlson cited a review article by Seneff et al. and a comment in Virology Journal by cardiologist Kenji Yamamoto. The claim isn’t new; Health Feedback already debunked this claim here, here, and here. Claims like this illustrate how scientific publishing has proven to be an effective vehicle for spreading misinformation, by lending a sheen of credibility to inaccurate and misleading claims and narratives. No scientific evidence supports the claim that COVID-19 vaccination weakens the immune system. On the contrary, vaccination helps our immune system to better defend itself against infection. Large-scale clinical trials and scientific studies found that the benefits of the COVID-19 vaccines outweigh their risks. https://healthfeedback.org/claimreview/covid-19-vaccines-dont-weaken-immune-system-lancet-study-misrepresented-tucker-carlson-hodgetwins/
