    Now, can liberals here explain why Twitter makes decisions on what to publish in regards to health emergency? Are they doctors? Why are they arguing against a tweet of a doctor who happens to be a White House advisor?

    What should we make of it? That COVID-19 is hype orchestrated by liberal media with social media giants?

    Well yah, because he’s full of ****.

    Dr. Robert Redfield, who leads the CDC, suggested in a conversation with a colleague Friday that Dr. Scott Atlas is arming Trump with misleading data about a range of issues, including questioning the efficacy of masks, whether young people are susceptible to the virus and the potential benefits of herd immunity.
    "Everything he says is false," Redfield said during a phone call made in public on a commercial airline and overheard by NBC News.

    Redfield acknowledged after the flight from Atlanta to Washington that he was speaking about Atlas, a neuroradiologist with no background in infectious diseases or public health. Atlas was brought on to the White House task force in August

    So, are you saying you are ok with a for-profit organization blocking statements of opinion by someone who advises the White House, you know, an elected office?

    I have no problem with it, especially when it goes against medical science.

    If they are spreading dangerous misinformation about a public health emergency? Yah of course.
    You should be more concerned why the White house is ignoring the experts and listening to this guy.

    A coronavirus adviser. He is the science for the government!
    What the hell is going on with common sense in 2020?

    A coronavirus advisor to the President of the United States is spreading misinformation about the health emergency on which he actually advises?
    Can you stop and think about your statement?

    Common sense tells me a neurologist is the wrong guy for the job.

    An advisor with no expertise in public health or infectious disease is their source instead of the experts at the CDC

    Jeez, this individual advises the president. As a voter, I have a direct interest in knowing what this advisor thinks on the subject he advises the president on.
    Isn’t that common sense?

    Shouldn’t public know the opinions of the advisor who advises the president of the United States?

    No. It's about as smart as putting Joe the plumber in charge of NASA. The dude is unqualified to advise my dog on the coronavirus much less any human being.

    Who gets to decide whether a tweet by the advisor to the President of the United States is false information?

    But Atlas is a scientist.
    Are you a scientist?
    Who gets to decide which scientist has the most scientific opinion?

    You don't like the source of the information?

    How about this source...

    It is foolish to think these things will protect you from being infected with the coronavirus. Masks were never designed for that.

    To protect yourself from the coronavirus you need a respirator.

    Yes, a scientist with no training in the field he’s advising on. Republicans always act like science is a matter of opinion, same as they did with smog and global warming

    The Trump administration’s coronavirus task force stepped up its calls for Americans to wear masks as cases surge in some states but Vice President Mike Pence said there are no plans to override governors who have yet to require them.

    “Please, please, please wear a face covering when you go out in public,” Surgeon General Jerome Adams, a member of the task force, said at a briefing Tuesday.

    so you’re saying the trump admin lied to us for 6 months but now their not?
