The Left hates free speech, a continuing series

Federalist: "Sen. Elizabeth Warren Sued For Asking Amazon To Suppress Covid Book In Search Results."

Matt Taibbi gets it here: "The Folly of Pandemic Censorship"
Censors have a fantasy that if they get rid of all the Berensons and Mercolas and Malones, and rein in people like Joe Rogan, that all the holdouts will suddenly rush to get vaccinated. The opposite is true. If you wipe out critics, people will immediately default to higher levels of suspicion. They will now be sure there’s something wrong with the vaccine. If you want to convince audiences, you have to allow everyone to talk, even the ones you disagree with. You have to make a better case.
That's what I don't understand: if you're so sure about your facts on any topic, why would you feel the need to censor the other side?  That's how you end up with clown shows like "The View."

Powerful question, though. Ask the Director of the Florida Department of Health in Orange County, Dr. Raul Pino. Just don't call his office phone to ask him.

You've never worked a job, have you?
