White House Pressured YouTube To Censor Vaccine ‘Misinformation’
The Biden’s administration exerted pressure on Google-owned YouTube to suppress COVID-19 vaccine information, documents obtained by the House Judiciary Committee show
Biden’s former Director of Digital Strategy Robert Flaherty told YouTube that he wanted to coordinate on what the popular video platform was doing to clamp down on vaccine-related content, according to the emails posted by Republican Ohio Rep. Jim Jordan on X, formerly Twitter, on Thursday.
The Biden administration also used its influence to get Facebook to censor similar content, according to previous emails obtained by the committee.
“Was hoping to connect again … about the work you’re doing to combat vaccine hesitancy, but also crack down on vaccine misinformation,” Flaherty wrote in an email to Google personnel in April 2021, according to the thread.
Flaherty also noted his interest in “ways the White House (and our COVID experts) can partner in your product work” in the same email.
YouTube’s government affairs team expressed concern in an April 2021 email to YouTube’s product team about the White House’s upcoming scrutiny on tech platforms related to people not wanting to get the COVID-19 vaccine, the thread showed.
“Unfortunately, the role of tech in addressing vaccine hesitancy is about to come under a massive spotlight particularly as the supply of the vaccine is soon to outpace demand,” the email reads, according to the thread. “The White House is very interested in our work on borderline content, and more specifically vaccine related content as well as our work to promote authoritative sources for vaccines.”
YouTube has a medical misinformation policy that includes prohibiting certain COVID-19 content. YouTube suspended Sky News Australia in August 2021 after a content review of its compliance with COVID-19 policies.
“While we receive input from governments around the world, we apply our policies independently, transparently, and consistently, regardless of the speaker or the political views expressed,” a YouTube spokesperson told the Daily Caller News Foundation.
The White House did not immediately respond to the DCNF’s request for comment.

What a great world we live in, the truth is now called misinformation and government lies are to be taken as the gospel.

At 83y I’d like to comunicate what happened to me with four Covid jabs (plus one yesterday) and Flu jabs every year since they became availalble. Plus all the usual diphtheria, smallpox, tetanus, polio and others I don’t remember. Absolutely nothing. NB we well know that at least half the information we would get, if we bothered to listen, would be false. But we wouldn’t know which half, so why listen anyway?

On the other hand.
My first flu jab over a decade ago made me more ill than I’ve ever been in my life. I was told the reason it happened was due to the ‘live virus’. OK, but i don’t think the outcome is supposed to put me totally out of commission for weeks on end where I was restricted to crawling on hands and knees, drinking soup through a straw, and sleeping for the rest of the time.
My doctor said it wasn’t the jab that caused it…
It was a lesson in trust I learned well. Never again will I bother with these quacks.

You have to remember the information coming from people in power is to KEEP those people in power. Fauci has been a fraud for decades, most medical pronouncements are skewed to give one side of the issue, usually on the side that makes people money.
Just like any other medical “emergency”, the real truth trickles out from the mainstream AFTER the money has been made, and we all know there is no accountability. Doctors and researchers who WERE telling the truth from the beginning lost jobs, funding, credibility, etc., were screwed over while the real perpetrators got rich and not even a slap on the rich, because the government and the elites that own them control the game.
The shot (i will NEVER call it a vaccine) was a pure money grab and depopulation device, pure and simple. They had to demonize 2 effective treatments to get the emergency use law to kick in, then had to change the definitions of vaccine and immunity to keep pumping this poison out to the masses, and are STILL pushing it. I used my instincts and past history to know this was a sham, I am upset that my doctors went along with it, even though I understand to a degree.

Science That ‘Can’t Be Questioned’ Is ‘Propaganda’ ~
If science can’t be questioned it’s not science anymore it’s propaganda & that’s the truth. ~ AaronRodgers
The First Amendment is often inconvenient. But that is besides the point. Inconvenience does not absolve the government of its obligation to tolerate speech.
