Ever since Elon Musk bough Twitter, the radical Left has been losing their minds. They know their secrets aren’t safe with him at the helm.
And Elon Musk HUMILIATED a major Democrat Congressman with this one sentence.
It has been almost three years since the nation was gripped with COVID hysteria.
We were told if we just stayed home for two weeks, we could all get on with our lives.
But what followed were massive economic shutdowns and the polarization of the nation into two camps – the ones who valued freedom and the ones who didn’t.
Anyone who questioned the COVID narrative was immediately labelled a misinformer or disinformer even if they used the government’s own data.
And we’re finding out that the Democrats used the power of government to silence any dissent.
California Democratic Rep. Ted Lieu deleted a tweet after Twitter CEO Elon Musk called him out on Monday for spreading misleading information about the newest release of “The Twitter Files.”
The latest tranche of the Twitter Files was released earlier today, revealing that the Biden administration pressed the social media platform to block and hide information about Covid, Covid vaccines, and public reactions to the pandemic that contradicted their intended messaging.
In a now-deleted tweet Lieu tagged journalist David Zweig who posted the latest chapter and said, “The tweet you cite is in fact misleading. People of all ages at high risk from COVID generally benefit from vaccines. Prior natural immunity may last only a few months. COVID appears to be a leading cause of death for children.”
Musk replied to a comment in the thread challenging Lieu, “Ted is linking to misleading data,” and tagged “Community Notes.”
@tedlieu The preprint you linked to has actually been re-written as a result of my critique because it is seriously flawed and inaccurate. You linked to the old version. https://t.co/wu6NBfzaL6

Lieu’s tweet was removed after Musk’s comments.
The most recent release of Zweig’s Twitter Files showed how the federal government allegedly “rigged” the “COVID debate” by “censoring info that was true but inconvenient to US government policy” and “discrediting doctors and other experts who disagreed,” as well as “ordinary users.”
2. So far the Twitter Files have focused on evidence of Twitter’s secret blacklists; how the company functioned as a kind of subsidiary of the FBI; and how execs rewrote the platform’s rules to accommodate their own political desires.

Officials from both the Trump and Biden administrations put pressure on the tech corporation to keep crucial COVID data hidden in order to further their desired narrative.
Zweig tweeted, “Internal files at Twitter that I viewed while on assignment for @thefp showed that both the Trump and Biden administrations directly pressed Twitter executives to moderate the platform’s pandemic content according to their wishes.”
3. What we have yet to cover is Covid. This reporting, for The Free Press, @thefp, is one piece of that important story.

Zweig added, “At the onset of the pandemic, according to meeting notes, the Trump admin was especially concerned about panic buying. They came looking for “help from the tech companies to combat misinformation” about “runs on grocery stores.” But . . . there were runs on grocery stores.”
The journalist noted, “It wasn’t just Twitter. The meetings with the Trump White House were also attended by Google, Facebook, Microsoft and others.”
“When the Biden admin took over, one of their first meeting requests with Twitter executives was on Covid. The focus was on ‘anti-vaxxer accounts.’ Especially Alex Berenson,” Zweig wrote.
According to Zweig, “one of the first meeting requests from the Biden White House” that “COVID misinformation” be suppressed, specifically targeting Berenson, an early critic of the mRNA vaccines.
Berenson was banned off Twitter for his questions and later sued the company.
According to Zweig, AI and machine learning methods such as “bots” were used to handle much of the “content moderation” labor, along with outsourced workers in the Philippines. These employees “were given decision trees to aid in the process, but tasking non experts to adjudicate tweets on complex topics like myocarditis and mask efficacy data was destined for a significant error rate.”
