I did mention the problems you cite, but…it’s easy for videos to connect dots that aren’t really there, and they sound plausible, but are misrepresenting (I’ve seen the videos you mention, and they do this). And, it’s not ‘true scientists’, they tend to be people from related but not direct fields, which makes them seem credible, but they’re talking out of their area of expertise. And I triangulate the mainstream media around the globe (NPR, BBC, the Aussie Broadcasting Corp, etc), so when the message is unified, I trust that more than some video that’s pushing an agenda with an individual claiming that they’re being censored. YMMV.

Nobody can argue that science is not good to follow, but I see that too often the one with the purse strings can completely control the message that gets out. I see YouTube censor videos of two doctors having a logical discussion, yet allow countless videos of violence, trash, etc... Anyway, great to dialogue, but I am not putting my faith in the big news industry, who admit they are censored and being told what to say by outside agencies. I would be happy to refer anyone to videos about this, but they are removed from YouTube and privately hosted now. Lastly, with science, real numbers and data don’t lie, but people sure do. We all need to look a bit beyond the bare statements.]]> All good views, except where a true scientist, with great heart and courage points out something that the Mainstream news and Big Pharma do not like. Such as that ‘maybe’ the vaccines are rushed, or that since children do not get ill from Covid, that schools should re-open, or any seemingly logical idea… they can then get censored from getting the word out.
