>…Rather more importantly the Wuhan lab leak theory was treated as blatant disinformation.  It was punishable on multiple platforms to say you thought it was the most likely explanation, even if you were well credentialed and presented a thorough case.    Fauci and US government pushed such punishment as appropriate and are still pushing to punish and censor misinformation and disinformation.  Determined by whom?  Why, primarily by government of course.   Because they need to product us from wrong think.

Thx for that Samantha.

 

What we have learned is that if something is a conspiracy theory, that doesn’t necessarily mean it is not true.  Some conspiracy theories are true.  2023 was a great year for conspiracy theories.

 

We have also learned that misinformation and disinformation are not necessarily false.  Both might be true, if those calling it mis- and dis- information are mistaken or have ulterior motives for suppressing or refuting that possibly true information.

 

The Covid nightmare was most educational, ja?
