When I say that being anti-vaccine is a political identity now I mean literally. Look at the divide between MAGA and non-MAGA Republicans. During COVID the Virality Project documented the extent to which political influencers who’d never commented on 💉 before got deep into the topic on all shots. https://morel.us-east.host.bsky.network/xrpc/com.atproto.sync.getBlob?did=did:plc:5bnbgj7gwebt6hhub4pa5c7n&cid=bafkreibgygrzkafft2c4cbsqj3etggszx76uoxk7d76zjqbpctyxmsznqi
The Free Press seems to have some “so-called misinfo” in their op-ed here. Nowhere in Murthy v Missouri was the White House found to have *mentioned Jay Bhattacharya* to a platform for moderation. Amy Coney Barrett says so in her opinion. This needs a correction.

YouTube/Google has written a letter to Jim Jordan best summarized as “Yes sir thank you Mr Jordan sir” It made Jordan so happy he wrote a very long tweet thread about it. In it, he gloats ab getting them to agree never to do the fact-checking kind of “censorship” and to moderate how he prefers. https://morel.us-east.host.bsky.network/xrpc/com.atproto.sync.getBlob?did=did:plc:5bnbgj7gwebt6hhub4pa5c7n&cid=bafkreiexji72kqnongqrjmgg44vuj7yixndfa7ijscrynwycyi6foad5vm

For those not deep in AV lore, Trump said this almost verbatim in 2015 at the Republican debate. He is a longtime true believer, which is why even back in 2016 RFK Jr had high hopes that he'd be given a "vaccine investigation" role. Saner heads prevailed, then. Post-COVID-19, politics got us here. RE:

Censorship grifter Michael Shellenberger has repinned a tweet from 2023 to his X profile. It’s a video accusing Obama -and me- of being behind the Disinformation Governance Board. In his addled mind,bc Obama gave a talk at Stanford a week before DGB was announced, DHS jumped to implement O’s vision. https://morel.us-east.host.bsky.network/xrpc/com.atproto.sync.getBlob?did=did:plc:5bnbgj7gwebt6hhub4pa5c7n&cid=bafkreid7jjc4bciqdtno6pwfyoh6pphoysf2slf6ziflfjwgqmelexpr6i
Douthat moderated a panel I was on w/Walter Kirn and sat there like a log while Kirn literally pulled out his phone on stage & read Taibbi Twitter Files tweets accusing me of censoring *22M tweets*. He lost control of the panel in the first 5min and apparently is still not interested in the facts.😂 https://morel.us-east.host.bsky.network/xrpc/com.atproto.sync.getBlob?did=did:plc:5bnbgj7gwebt6hhub4pa5c7n&cid=bafkreih4h37xeim4ikpk6zkkvpzmxb4gx7y26cmq2izmnyrga3qifpeey4
The extent to which this history has been rewritten by right wing propagandists while MSM slept for 2 yrs—so much so that the NYT doesn’t even catch it now. When the “Censorship Industrial Complex” supposedly formed, silenced conservatives, & stole elections, THE TRUMP ADMINISTRATION was in power. RE:

Trump had his accounts suspended on January 7, 8, and 9th 2020. WHEN HE WAS STILL PRESIDENT. It was not Joe Biden because Biden was not President. ...

I had my first baby in 2013 and several Tylenol studies were already out. RFK Jr has been flogging this for a long time. This isn’t new science, it’s that he has a bigger mouthpiece as HHS secretary. Unless this is presented alongside studies on other factors -incl parental age- seems pretty bad. RE:
