YouTube kills interview with Prof. Knut Wittkowski, for "violating community standards" (i.e., the "community" of Big Pharma and Bill/Melinda Gates)

John Kirby ends his bad news here with an important point—that you can

have "free speech" if you just parrot the Official Line, or, if not, as long as 

you don't reach too many people.

From John Kirby:

Some of you might be given pause by a recent development:  Our interview with Knut Wittkowski, 

for 20 years the head of biostatistics and epidemiology at Rockefeller University, has been taken 

down by YouTube for “violating community standards”.  Over the span of a month and a week, 

it had reached 1.3 million views. 

Of course, “community standards” are never specified in these cases, but YouTube’s CEO has 

stated that anyone contradicting the (ever-changing) WHO recommendations or positions will 

be removed.  Wittkowski in essence suggested that the (Swedish) approach of protecting the 

vulnerable and letting immunity spread among the rest of us, which the WHO has recently 

embraced, might have been the better response, and that the crushing of hundreds of millions 

of livelihoods will only result in more deaths across all of society. 

Interestingly, our follow-up interview with Wittkowski remains up.  It has about 200 thousand views.

I guess the lesson is that in the newest New Normal, scientific dissent and free speech are okay, 

as long as not too many people can hear you.
