Potentially Sensitive Content
This isn’t “sensitive content”, not even “potentially” so. Why do they lie?
A few days ago an important battle came to my attention. It was the battle of young students at Fordham University, NY, against being forced to accept yet another shot of useless and harmful Covid-19 vaccines. From what I’m told, Fordham is one of the few remaining universities in the US requiring the so-called “bivalent booster”, part of an endless revaccination strategy which even the FDA vaccine chief describes as an impractical vaccination cadence, pointing out how quickly the protection against infection wanes, noting how focus on mRNA vaccines against Covid-19 is unlikely to be sustainable.
As the critical date, November 1st approaches fast I’ve been following the Fordham Together group on Twitter in the hope of news of reversal. When I looked at their account this evening, it looked like this.
Almost every single tweet had a warning on it; “potentially sensitive content”. (Somewhat strangely the one that didn’t were Dr. Aseem Malhotra’s dire warnings about the danger of myocarditis posed by the medication.)
Gathering courage, prepared for a shock that might scar me for life, I took a look at some of the tweets hidden behind the warning.
It turns out the “potentially sensitive content” is nothing but plain and simple old fashioned news about something deemed newsworthy by, among others the highly respected New York magazine City Journal, once described as “the magazine that saved the city”, and by Best Colleges, a platform aimed at helping students choose a suitable college, plan their finances, their careers and assisting with other student stuff.
What is it that causes the Twitter management to slap a “potentially sensitive” warning on news of harmless and lawful student protests? What is it they find so dangerous about students not wanting medication that offers them no benefit, only harm? This isn’t “sensitive content”, not even “potentially” so. Why do they lie?
Can we hope Twitter’s new owner, Elon Musk will put an end to this censorship? I have little doubt he will try. It will be quite a battle for him. But I’m pretty sure he will not give up easily. And in the end, this is all we can do; to fight the oppression, the censorship, the injustice. For if we don’t, we will forfeit our freedom, our values, our humanity, and there will be no way back.
I will of course share this article with the brave young people of Fordham Together. And there is little doubt if they tweet about it, it will be branded “potentially sensitive content” by Twitter, just like my first article on their battle.
