A federal judge yesterday ordered the Biden administration to halt a wide range of communications with social media companies, siding with Missouri and Louisiana in a lawsuit that alleges Biden and his administration violated the First Amendment by colluding with social networks “to suppress disfavored speakers, viewpoints, and content.”

    The CDC director wasn’t forcibly sidelined because he suggested that COVID-19 could have come from a lab?

        You’ve got to be kidding:

        "Dr Redfield, who led the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention when the outbreak began in 2020, was an early proponent of the lab leak theory.

        He told the House select subcommittee, formed by the new Republican majority in the US House of Representatives, it was “not scientifically plausible” to him that the virus had natural origins.

        He claimed he was “sidelined” at the beginning of the pandemic and excluded from meetings as his views were not in line with other major scientists like Dr Fauci, the de-facto face of the US pandemic response."

              My dude, what are you doing here?

              There is no evidence to support your stance that this dude was sidelined because of his views. All you have is his claim that they sidelined him for his views.

              This appears to be another conspiracy theory.

              Focus, man.

                If you’re going to speak to me that way I will not be responding. You’ve refused to read the story yourself, and cannot be swayed from your opinion. You argue in bad faith, and simply aren’t following logic with your responses. I hope you have a good day.

                    Have a good one friend. “It’s easier to mislead someone than it is to show them they’ve been mislead.” If you really believe the director of the CDC was a crackpot conspiracy theorist, then we have no further discussion.
