Bill Maher said in a video that YouTube has no business censoring information on COVID treatments like ivermectin, or evidence that the SARS-CoV2 may have escaped from a lab.
Comedian Bill Maher said in a video on “Real Time” it’s “outrageous” social media platforms are censoring content on ivermectin, an antiparasitic drug proven effective to treat COVID.
Maher also criticized social media censorship of content suggesting the SARS-CoV2 virus escaped from the Wuhan Institute of Virology in China.
Maher referenced comments by Google’s head of health division, David Feinberg, who told a Wall Street Journal reporter in June that Google doesn’t autofill searches for “coronavirus lab leak” because it doesn’t want to lead “people down pathways” to information that’s not “authoritative.”
Feinberg said Google wants users to see information from authorities like the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the World Health Organization (WHO).
“That’s who I’m checking on,” said Maher. “The WHO has been corrupt about a lot of shit. The CDC [Centers for Disease Control and Prevention] has been wrong about a lot of shit.”
For four months, Facebook banned all posts about the COVID lab leak theory, Maher said. It’s “outrageous” I can’t look this info up, Maher fumed. “And now they’re doing it about this drug ivermectin.”
Maher rejected the idea that YouTube can decide what information users see about COVID treatments including ivermectin.
Private platforms use government guidelines to police content
“They threw Bret Weinstein off YouTube, or almost,” Maher said. “YouTube should not be telling me what I can see about ivermectin. Ivermectin isn’t a registered Republican. It’s a drug!”
Weinstein, host of the “DarkHorse Podcast,” told Joe Rogan YouTube “demonetized” his channels, removed some of his videos and issued warnings for content that mentioned ivermectin, labeling it “spam” and “deceptive medical information.”
Weinstein isn’t alone.
As journalist Matt Taibbi noted in a recent article about private platforms using government guidelines to police content, YouTube’s decision to censor Weinstein and others talking about COVID treatments other than the vaccine is “part of an overall butterfly effect.”
Taibbi wrote:
“Weinstein guest Dr. Robert Malone, a former Salk Institute researcher often credited with helping develop mRNA vaccine technology, has been suspended from LinkedIn, and Weinstein guest Dr. Pierre Kory of the Front Line COVID-19 Critical Care Alliance has had his appearances removed by YouTube. Even Satoshi Ōmura, who won the Nobel Prize in 2015 for his work on ivermectin, reportedly had a video removed by YouTube this week.”
The problem with tech companies relying on government guidelines, said Taibbi, is that those guidelines are “significantly dependent” on info from the pharmaceutical industry — which has a history of “being less than forthright with the public.”
Allowing corporations to censor what people say online about their products, said Taibii, promotes an environment that eliminates public criticism.
Taibii wrote:
“If platforms like YouTube are basing speech regulation policies on government guidelines, and government agencies demonstrably can be captured by industry, the potential exists for a new brand of capture — intellectual capture, where corporate money can theoretically buy not just regulatory relief but the broader preemption of public criticism.
“It’s vaccines today, and that issue is important enough, but what if in the future the questions involve the performance of an expensive weapons program, or a finance company contracted to administer bailout funds, or health risks posed by a private polluter?”

Now?
Maher seems to be gradually waking up from a 20 year coma of stupidity, then slowly seeing the world as it has become. He joins the likes of Matt Taibbi and Glen Greenwald.
That’s nice. Maybe so. Nevertheless, he’s a rat. NEVER trust a rat.
don’t worry. he’ll always be on my bad guy list.
Bill Maher is a smart guy. I was never a fan, since he is a hard-core liberal, but it is clear that he has had a “Woke” moment, but not the kind the leftist idiots have. Maher is a liberal outlier and a portent of what may happen to many American liberals. Just as the upper and upper-middle class parents with children in exclusive private schools are finally in rebellion against CRT and other gibberish being taught in schools, Maher has realized that the unholy alliance between the radical left, the Deep State, Big Tech, Big Pharma and the other Globalists is a direct threat not merely to the toothless pinheads and grunting rednecks in flyover country, but to his class as well. He sees where it is going and understands that they have to be stopped. He is not completely there yet – he wants to keep his job, after all – but you can bet he knows the score.
As for Covid 19 treatment, at my company we had a severe outbreak of this crud. Our company doctor immediately prescribed a cocktail of drugs for everybody who tested positive (many were quite sick). Ivermectina, aspirin, colchicine (anti-inflammatory used for gout) some antibiotics and cortisone drugs, as well as some local over-the-counter flu medicines (much stronger than those you find the U.S.), don’t lie in bed too long, no sweets, use a vaporizer, take plenty of liquids. Results: Not one person died or was hospitalized who followed this prescription. Virtually all began to recover IMMEDIATELY. All are back at work. Fuck Fauci. He is a fraud and criminal with blood on his hands.

Great comments…..I had two friends locally who came down with it and both were administered Hydroxychloroquine and Invermectin and did quite well and very quickly. These two guys were over 70 but did not have and co-morbidities…….Additionally administered were zinc, Vit D & C but not in stupid amounts.
Don’t get overly enthusiastic with the D3. 2,000 units a day is plenty. Too much can have adverse effects. It supposedly reduces chance of Covid infection 87%. I have been taking it for several years.
I am still baffled how this can be called a pandemic for anything but political purposes. Its been going full bore for a year and a half, but taking any number of deaths or infections which were highly exaggerated by the PCR test and dividing into SEVEN BILLION yields numbers in no way eligible to be a pandemic. Hence a plandemic.
I prefer the term Scamdemic. We have all gotten scammed and the big club got a lot richer at our expense.
New alliances are being formed by Covid. People of differing political views who can think are coming together to fight the BS and the Chinese Social Credit System which this whole mess is the stalking horse for.
Yesterday Warroom had Robert Kennedy Jr. on who is on fire over the scam being perpetrated. Naomi Wolf, former Al Gore adviser is singing from the same hymnal and calling on people to drop their party prejudices and form an alliance against this.
Last night I also came across news in form of a video on which Zuckfuque is telling an interviewer how the FBI came to him in the Fall of 2020 before the election and told him not to allow any posting about “unverified” stories that “might” be spread about Hunter Biden.
Elevate the absolute scum Director Wray to top tier status among the Pantheon of enemies of the people and truth in general.
Jews, I see Jews everywhere! Some of you have some real issues going on.

Maher is a Richard Cranium. Always has been and always will be. Sometimes he lands on the right side of an argument, but it is usually because of his libertarian leanings.
