Thank you so much for the latest Twitter Files.
Here is a view from the censored side: As a practicing physician of 16 years, I have been treating COVID patients for three years, including through last week, and none of my COVID patients have been hospitalized. I wrote the most thoroughly researched book, The Defeat Of COVID, on the biochemical mechanisms of action of the early COVID treatments (Vit D, zinc, IVM, HCQ), and gave comprehensive warning before anyone of the hazards of the COVID vaccines, here: https://www.primarydoctor.org/covidvaccine. Those warnings have all been proven correct over the last two years.
At the same time as the latter article (2 days before, when I announced/tweeted its nearing completion) Twitter "permanently suspended" me. Now the American Freedom Law Center is suing the Biden Administration and Twitter on my behalf for 1st Amendment violations, as well as for health hazards to the public from this censorship.
I remain suspended from Twitter, prevented from discussing publicly sensible ways to defeat COVID and other respiratory viruses.
Just a quick comment on your piece for Bari Weiss and her common sense substack, and thank you for being a reasonable voice - it certainly helps bridge the situation, however your graphs for unvaccinated and vaccinated don't explain that the cdc counts all people as unvaccinated until after 2 weeks after their second vaccination. A lot of the side effects are seen 2-5 days after first or second jab. Meaning they are recorded as unvaccinated. This is very misleading and is the reason why most journalists are using data from the countries who deferentiate 1st jab 2nd jab ect.
