A federal judge yesterday ordered the Biden administration to halt a wide range of communications with social media companies, siding with Missouri and Louisiana in a lawsuit that alleges Biden and his administration violated the First Amendment by colluding with social networks "to suppress disfavored speakers, viewpoints, and content."

Some people were actually buying the horse variant of it...

I'd like a verified source showing this was actually occurring at any sort of large scale. Assuming you have it, does that make it okay to suggest Ivermectin (the drug) is only for horses like the media did? Is lying okay when it's done to save lives? I'm just curious.

That story uses only anecdotal, non-scientifically recorded data. 50 - 60 calls a day simply to ask about it, and one or two cases of people actually using it. This same story claims people were drinking hand sanitizer, I guess we need to start lying about that as well.

"Poison centers are still responding to events related to COVID-19," said Julie Weber, president of the American Association of Poison Control Centers and director of the Missouri Poison Center. "On average, we are getting over 40 to 50 calls per day in addition to what we would normally get pre-pandemic."

Unless you are saying the president of Missouri's Poison Center is lying, then this is still substantive.

And more than what you have provided so far. Can't claim it is lie either without evidence.

They literally don't provide any data. It could be one call and they'd say they're "still responding."

[–] snipgan@kbin.social 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Still substantive.

They don't even say the 50-60 calls they are getting are just for Ivermectin, just that they're related to COVID. Why do you think they worded it that way, to be misleading maybe?

[–] snipgan@kbin.social 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

You didn't read the article did you?

[–] C4RP3_N0CT3M@kbin.social 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

You're being extremely disrespectful. I did in fact read the article, but it's clearly a biased article with no actual measured data.

[–] snipgan@kbin.social 2 points 1 year ago

No you didn’t. It talks about it.

Making another claim about bias won’t help you. And still leaves the rest of what I said.
