    It’s a great metaphor for combining variants!

    You forgot Scott Atlas.

    If it had been a true panel discussion, with debate and differing viewpoints, instead of a bunch of people chosen because they all agree with DeSantis, the video would still be available.

    They took it down for spreading false public health information. (e.g. masks are "harmful.") The video violated their clear terms of service.

    Here's some fairly objective fact checking of the panel event/PR stunt:
    https://www.news4jax.com/news/local...ht-in-by-desantis-analyze-his-covid-response/

    For anyone interested, there's a lot of emerging peer-reviewed scholarship on this important and (yes, debatable) topic.
    For example:
    https://science.sciencemag.org/content/371/6531/eabd9338

    Hand-picking a few outlier doctors and academics to support one governor's policies, (that happen to go against most expert recommendations), is indeed dangerous and ill-advised, to put it mildly.

    But the people on the panel, and the governor, and many other people, will be completely free to host that video and promote it widely, separate from one private platform. In other words, of course dissent is "tolerated," and also, "meh," save martyrdom for real martyrs around the world. They are plentiful enough.

    Are you on board with breaking up the big tech monopolies through legislation?

    "questioning authority is ill advised and dangerous"

    when you feel compelled to silence dissent, what does that say about the strength of your position?

    So dissent is being silenced but you can hear about it on Fox and Friends?

    "Neanderthal thinking"? How about thinking about recent history.

    Around April 2020 or so, people like you were tweeting how bad the "blue" states are vs the "red" states.

    And now here we go again with that stupid sh*t. The virus doesn't care. This is a war of how fast we can vaccinate vs how fast the new variants spread. We are almost there. Don't drop the ball prematurely.

    TTI is not the only reason for our failure, but without it, it was not controllable.
