Berenson built a huge platform denying COVID. Then when 650k dead Americans proved him wrong he humbly admitted his mistakes and moved on.

Lol JK he decided to rail against the only thing keeping ANOTHER 650k Americans from dying: vaccines.

He usually walked a good line of “misleading but not wrong” but the vaccines have just worked too well for him the keep the grift up. So he started claiming they don’t work at all and got Twitter-slapped. There’s a lesson here somewhere….

He didn’t deny covid. He said the media vastly overplays how dangerous this is to the young which is true.

Wrong. He routinely amplified fringe theories that denied COVID. The 6% meme that some morons here still post like it’s novel.

In fact, there basically nothing he’s been right about. Claiming the vaccines don’t work -is- misinformation! He will raise a bunch of money from Trumpers to sue and then keep the cash for himself. It’s a classic grift.

Companies must be allowed to curate their platforms. It’s nonsensical to imagine a system otherwise.

This was posted earlier. She, and TONS of liberals would already be gone under your wishes. The Trump-era would have wiped Twitter clean of Democrats.

Uhhh. This has been the rule for decades. Twitter could ban this lady you are mad about under any President. You realize that the government has basically no say in these private platforms.

You may want to actually learn the current laws and standards before madposting. This is embarrassing as are many of the takes on this thread.

I’m sure he will continue to post here every day. Is his handle the Unkle?

Berenson is still available on the web at https://alexberenson.substack.com/ .

It’s sad that Rojo doesn’t believe in vaccines

What are you talking about? I rushed out to get mine and believe I even started a thread on here after I was fully vaxxed with pfizer if I should go get another vax by another company before going to Tokyo - like before that was even a thing.

I have two friends that aren't vaxxed and routinely text them/call them to try to get them to get vaxxed.

I'm not anti vax. But I'm very much pro-debate and like to at least question what the 'party line' is on nearly every issue. For example, when Fauci said last winter not to get a mask, I immediately wondered if that made sense or not to me. It didn't and I thought "how could a mask make things worse?" Now with masks being promoted as the cure-all, I wonder if there benefit is overstated. Remember,1.5 years ago Fauci himself was saying they wouldn't help the average joe/jane.

if as you say he didn't commit any crime then i guess that answers the question of whether his content should stay online. there are already laws on the books about incitement to violence, targeted harassment, etc. and there are plenty of cases far more frivolous than this handled every day. i think we have a justice system for a reason, and as someone who is generally liberal i prefer an accountable, transparent, and at times forgiving process of doling out punishment to an unaccountable one.

i don't have trust in our government, but at least government has the veneer of accountability because in theory we elect our lawmakers and pay their salaries directly with tax money. in contrast we don't elect the CEOs of tech companies and most of their funding comes from advertisers who don't use the product like most people do.

i would also draw a distinction between monopolies like twitter, FB, Instagram, etc. versus local restaurants and other small businesses. i don't care much for a constitution written over 200 years ago, these tech platforms have become an effective "town hall" used as the primary official communication method of almost every government official. accordingly i think the government should apply the same free speech protections we have on existing gov-run websites.

It’s baffling that people would 1) believe a non-subject-matter expert COVID denier then .

I followed Berenson on twitter. I also follow Alina Chan. They both make me think.

But why follow a non-subject expert? Even one that many think is wrong? Because are you not familiar with the work of Tetlock? Experts are often HORRIFIC at predictions. Please read this.

I was surprised when he went so anti-vax. To me, his main message last year was the virus is going to virus, we need to go about our every day lives. When the vaxes came out, I thought he'd argue for getting back to normal even more forcefully but that's not what he did.

But even if he's wrong about a lot of stuff, he points out a lot of things before others. Like how the vaccines weren't lasting in Israel, like how there is an increased spread normally when vaxxes are first introduced, etc.

Jack Dorsey is a twat.

Nailed it. The COVID downplayers like Berenson couldn't admit they were wrong so they seamlessly shifted to becoming anti-vaxxers. The fact anyone with an ounce of sense still takes them seriously or is upset over a private company taking steps to reduce their ability to get more people killed is staggering.

I agree it goes against freedom of speech, Twitter is likely a private company still

Um, no, they operate like a telecom. Can at&t verifzon ot sprint ban the content of your speech?

It is nonsense to assert that they 'operate like a Telecom'. They aren't a common carrier, they are an electronic bulletin board. And they also aren't a 'state actor', despite Trump's recent lawsuit. The main judicial decision against Trump's attempt to keep the tech companies from blocking him was authored by one of his picks for the Supreme Court.

Nothing he said was incorrect. Twitter should be shut down.
