What Country Is This ?


There is a country in our hemisphere that apparently does not allow anyone to speak out against whatever the party line is. Who determines what the party line is? One would guess in this particular country that those in charge determine the party line. However this then begs the question of exactly who is in charge. Is it the President? Is it the Congress? Is it the courts? Or could it even be someone/something else? 

This morning I read and also listened to something that makes me think that, in fact, it is someone/something else that determines what is and what is not appropriate in that country.

What country is this ?

Now granted that while I am far from fluent in Spanish, I can read some things in Spanish  … however neither reading, speaking, or understanding Spanish actually came into play here, as what I am going to tell you about occurred in an English speaking country.

I am going to assume that none of you have heard of Robert Malone, or more precisely Dr. Robert Malone. Actually we all should recognize that name, because he is the man who invented the mRNA technology used in some coronavirus vaccines. He discovered in-vitro and in-vivo RNA transfection when he was at the Salk Institute in 1988, and he subsequently invented mRNA vaccines. The two most popular vaccines being used in the USA, namely the Pfizer and the Moderna vaccines, are both mRNA vaccines.

According to the Washington Examiner, Dr. Malone says he was censored by YouTube for sharing his concerns on the vaccines in a podcast.

“One of my concerns are that the government is not being transparent with us about what those risks are. And so, I’m of the opinion that people have the right to decide whether to accept a vaccine or not, especially since these are experimental vaccines,” said Dr. Robert Malone during a 6 23/21 Wednesday segment on Fox News‘s Tucker Carlson Tonight, saying YouTube deleted a video of him speaking about the associated risks.

Malone clarified that he was not discouraging the use of the vaccine but was providing people with as much fair information as he could about their risks.

“This is a fundamental right having to do with clinical research ethics,” he said. “And so, my concern is that I know that there are risks. But we don’t have access to the data, and the data haven’t been captured rigorously enough so that we can accurately assess those risks — and therefore … we don’t really have the information that we need to make a reasonable decision.”

Malone also said he has “a bias that the benefits probably don’t outweigh the risks” for younger people who are being encouraged or required to take the vaccine.

“I can say that the risk-benefit ratio for those 18 and below doesn’t justify vaccines, and there’s a pretty good chance that it doesn’t justify vaccination in these very young adults,” he added.

So it seems that because the opinion of Dr. Malone went against the party line, he was censored. Keep in mind that we are not talking about some schmo expressing his opinion on something that he knows relatively little about … OMG, he invented mRNA vaccines!

Likewise, we are not talking about an authoritarian country like Venezuela. OMG! What country is this?

Interestingly writing in an op-ed for the Wall Street Journal, UCLA Geffen School of Medicine Doctor Joseph Lapado and Yale School of Public Health Doctor Harvey Risch warn there are legitimate and serious concerns about the side effects of the Wuhan coronavirus vaccine. They also worry vaccine politics could be preventing officials from telling Americans the truth about the risks.

This is more like it! The Wall Street Journal is allowing individuals with some standing to express their own opinions. I know what country in which the WSJ publishes, and this sounds more like the country I know!
