Dr Malhotra: Facebook is an enemy of Democracy!!!

In a few words Facebook censored a scientist for sharing something that was factual. His peer reviewed publication and the new guidance from Dr Ladapo through the Department of Health in Florida.

I will repeat that being a private company doesn't justify censorship. As Dr Malhotra said this is a deliberate suppression of truth. And this anomalous situation reflects what an Italian member of the European Parliament said a few days ago, i.e that this is the greatest medical scandal in the history of mankind.

I see that in your post there is a reference to Dr Malhotra being a crank by another scientist. That is more then enough to refute his argument on the basis of personal and unsubstantiated attacks.

Did you even read the article and it's links?
That is just clearly your opinion without any facts and I prefer the term crackpot myself....
The counter story I posted was full of facts about why Dr Malhotra was incorrect which is also why FB banned him. Never mind the bias of the journal he posted it in....

As previously stated.

Was there anything about immunology, infectious disease, coronaviruses, public health, or anything similar? Funny, but I must have missed it. In fact, as Gideon Meyerowitz-Katz has pointed out, very little has been published in this “journal” since 2016, and at least half of it was published by members of the editorial board, all of which raises red flags for this being an ideology journal disguised as a medical journal:

More than half of the papers posted being by the editorial board, this was also were Dr Malhotra posted his fad diet, which was voted “Top 5 worst celeb diets to avoid in 2018” by the British Dietetic Association.

The loss of his father is a perfectly legitimate motivation for him to look into this matter more and with a more clear mind rather than following the speed of science.

Those who have lost a parent aren't always "clear minded" as you claim they are, a lot of the time it's the complete opposite.

As often is the case with those who believe in something very strongly, rather than question his existing belief systems, Dr. Malhotra appears to have started looking for “other” causes for his father’s sudden death. I can only speculate, but, given his apparent belief in diet as the be-all and end-all of cardiovascular (and general) health, my guess is that in his grief he was even more susceptible than he might have been to the blandishments of the antivaccine movement and that susceptibility ultimately led to his going down the rabbit hole of antivaccine misinformation and conspiracy theories bolstered by bad science. I will note that the reference to which he refers was an abstract of a particularly useless study by a physician associated with Goop, who used an unvalidated test for “inflammatory markers” after vaccination that showed nothing, as described by pediatric cardiologist Dr. Frank Han here and myself elsewhere. Citing very weak science is not a good look for a someone proclaiming himself as pushing back against “misinformation” promoted by the medical profession and claiming the mantle of evidence-based medicine. Also, as Dr. Han has pointed out, atherosclerosis takes years, not months, to develop. As someone who early in his career, before becoming interested in cancer, studied vascular smooth muscle cells and their role in atherosclerosis and restenosis after coronary angioplasty, I will reemphasize that point.

You can't refute the evidence that Dr Malhotra posted his data because of his incorrect belief systems, the loss of his father and for profit.

Nothing more than a range of unsubstantiated opinions from your side which have been discussed and refuted long time ago.

Facebook has censored Dr Malhotra and this is a blow for the reputation of the company which has already been damaged throughout the course of the pandemic.

The same can be said about Dr Malhotra and the opening post....

In your opinion.
Most of us here don't feel the same.

That too is just your opinion.

Some ATS members would like to see both sides of the story before making up their own minds.

Yes I suppose some of them do share your opinion. But I think in these threads most of us are not oblivious to the online censorship by Facebook and other platforms especially when it comes to issues like the ludicrous vaccine ideology.

You speak for yourself and yourself alone here on ATS just as all of us do.

Stop trying to present yourself as spokesperson for others.

Its not a popularity contest and there are no "sides" in a debate.

I have never done so. This is another strawman argument.

But I am sure that many others feel exactly the same way when it comes to online censorship in major platforms such as Facebook.

There are sides when a debate happens.

They sure are. After 15 consecutive 30 day bans, Facebook finally banned me for life. Just for spittin' the truth, using valid sources. They really hate it when you show those Hunter Biden photo's on there. They're blurred out, so no nudity, but they will tell you what they told me, that I was banned for good for showing Hunter Biden's personal "intimate" photos. He is in the photo with little girls. One even had Joe standing there totally naked, grabbing an obviously underaged girl's breasts and you know...(down there). They didn't deny that they were legit. They just silenced me. Little do they know, that there are plenty of other popular media platforms out there that respect freedom. Facebook is a child's playground, where children can steal meme's, put their own face on them and the say "look at my funny meme everybody. This will be shared and I will be famous one day!" and where the Democrats can put those infantile minds to work, building really cool sand castles, and not trying to rebuild America. Seriously, reverse everything that you guys have done and put America back the way she was.

So you have been banned for life from Facebook!!! If you have had 15 consecutive 30 days ban then you have been banned for 450 days!!! Prior to getting permanently banned...

Dr Malhotra was right when he said Facebook is deliberately suppressing the truth.
