My Run In With The Thought Police

Guest post by Josh Stylman

Josh Stylman has been a solid fighter on Team Reality and recently posted an EPIC thread on the failure of vaccines. Twitter slapped him on the wrist and he’s in serious trouble with the blue bird. I’m reproducing this excellent post he crafted at his Substack for your reading pleasure. To see the thread which got him into trouble visit his post here.

From Josh Stylman

For the last couple of years, I’ve been watching the censorship ratchet up across social media. Prominent voices are being silenced for speaking out against topics that go against the approved government/corporate narrative. Nowhere has this been more prevalent than with posts relating to covid. A number of brilliant scientists, doctors, reporters, and statisticians have been de-platformed simply for sharing information they have discovered.

It is apparent that many of these people, some with huge followings, were censored, shadowbanned, or even banned outright, despite the fact that they were posting verifiable truths.

There are even instances of organizations and publications like The American Heart Association and Jama, one of America’s pre-eminent medical journals, that have been declared unsafe for publishing data illustrating the harms and ineffectiveness of the mRNA shots.

The fact that these dissenters have been more accurate in their claims, directionally and precisely, than public health officials including NIAID lead Dr. Anthony Fauci, CDC head Dr. Rochelle Walensky, Surgeon Generals Jerome Adams and Vivek H. Murthy doesn’t matter. In today’s discourse, facts don’t matter - only the blessing from the state does.

Rather than defending The Constitution of the United States, the mainstream press has instead celebrated the muzzling of dissenting voices.

Maybe I’m old school but I thought the idea of science was about hypothesis, testing, and falsification of information. How can we do that - or really come to a public consensus about anything - unless there is an open public dialogue about these complex topics? Rather than silencing those who break from the conventional orthodoxy, why not refute their claims publicly?

Almost 400 years ago Galileo was placed under house arrest for the last decade of his life for having the audacity to say that the world was round. He was declared a heretic and only 300 years later was he vindicated when “The Science” agreed with his claim. I am afraid that much of the democratic West, including America, has slid into this similar and very dangerous area of groupthink where anything that challenges the popular view is considered taboo.

While I have been tagged with a “misinformation” label a few times, I have mostly been watching this as a bystander and concerned citizen. That was until this weekend when I wrote a stream-of-consciousness Twitter thread about some of the vaccine risks that are being suppressed on social media platforms. In the thread, I also discussed the fact that there has been a significant increase in death and disease, often among young and seemingly healthy people. My point was not that correlation for any one of the items I shared definitively implies causation or that the vaccines are killing people. Rather, I was suggesting that when you look at the huge amount of signal, something is wrong and we need to ask more questions. I also wondered why any information that discusses the risks or limitations of the mRNA shots is considered off-limits.

I posted this on Saturday evening and then went to go hang with my wife for a bit. I looked at my phone again in the morning and saw that what I wrote was going viral. People were sharing, retweeting, and commenting faster than I could keep up. But then, a few hours later, I got messages from some friends and strangers, telling me that the thread was no longer shareable. When I tried to access my account to see for myself, I was prompted with a message that I must delete the message below or I can no longer use the platform.

This was fascinating. The “potentially harmful information” I shared was asking two questions about why the FDA didn’t want the general public to see the Pfizer trial data for 75 years. While the FDA suppressing this data is, unfortunately, not well known it is not in dispute. The coverage in the mainstream press has been scant but it has not been ignored either. While I did not want to delete the message, I did want my account back since I use Twitter not only to post things but more so to learn and connect with other people. So, reluctantly, I capitulated and deleted the message. Then, I was put in a penalty box and was not allowed to use my account for another 12 hours. At that time, I learned that many other messages in the thread had been slapped with warning labels and/or had sharing/like/commenting features turned off. Also, if you go to the beginning of the thread, it doesn’t let you scroll below it to see the other messages that followed it.

A number of people have asked me to share what I wrote so they can read it in its entirety. Given that I can no longer trust Twitter as a place to safely host my content, I am sharing here on Substack who has vowed to avoid censorship of any kind (for now, anyway). If you scroll below, you can see the thread in its entirety. You can click on each image to visit the original post and interact with the source material, except for the instances that were “broken”.

Since they were not specific, I am still wondering what crime I committed, exactly. If I have shared any content that is erroneous or asked questions that were inappropriate, feel free to message me on Twitter or here to tell me and I will address it immediately. While I am open-minded to being shown where I am wrong, I’d be surprised if anything I said was truly egregious or worthy of being silenced. Please tell me if you think I’m mistaken.

Thanks.
