In the past few days, a key federal agency concluded that COVID was likely the result of a Chinese lab leak.
A prestigious medical journal reported that natural immunity is better than vaccines against COVID.
All of these claims had been labeled as “disinformation” by the mainstream press, by “independent” fact-checkers, by social media platforms.
The Energy Department, “citing new intelligence,” changed its view on the origins of COVID-19 and now thinks it did, in fact, escape from a lab in Wuhan, China.
A New York Times reporter said the lab-leak theory had “racist roots.
” Politifact, one of the supposed independent guardians against disinformation, said that any such claim was “inaccurate and ridiculous.
Then last week, the highly prestigious British medical journal, The Lancet, looked at all the existing research and concluded that natural immunity is just as effective as the vaccine at preventing both re-infection and serious illness from COVID.
Critics of mask mandates – who`d been derided as the moral equivalent of mass murderers – also turned out to be right.

When we reported on our own I&I/TIPP poll about the public`s concerns regarding Biden`s mental health – Americans Very Worried About Biden`s Mental Health: I&I/TIPP Poll – Google labeled it “dangerous and derogatory” – a category which includes content that “incites hatred against, promotes discrimination of, or disparages an individual or group on the basis of their race or ethnic origin, religion, disability, age …” As punishment, Google`s advertising network wouldn`t show ads on that page.
But, in an interview with ABC News that aired over the weekend, Biden said “it`s legitimate for people to raise issues about my age.
But if Biden now admits concern about his age is a legitimate issue, why are articles bringing it up being attacked as dangerous disinformation?
A recent batch of Twitter files, for example, showed that the Alliance Defending Democracy`s widely cited Hamilton 68 dashboard of Twitter accounts “linked to Russian influence” was bogus – which meant that every mainstream press outlet that relied on Hamilton 68 was involved in a massive disinformation campaign organized by a left-wing group.
A Washington Examiner investigation found one such well-funded group, the Global Disinformation Index, gives sites such as the far-left Huffington Post top-level reliability scores while labeling the RealClearPolitics site – which links to both liberal and conservative news and commentary (including I&I editorials) – as one of the 10 “riskiest” in the nation.
” Worse still, the Examiner found that the State Department has bankrolled two organizations that donated substantial amounts of grant money to the GDI, raising legitimate concerns about government censorship.
) What we found was that Google – which gets top ratings by the GDI for its efforts to defund “disinformation” – starting flagging much of our content as “dangerous,” “misleading,” “unreliable,” and “harmful,” and blocked ads from appearing on those pages.
The stuff labeled as dangerous disinformation keeps turning out to be true.
