Howie Carr: COVID Panic infected freedom of choice

Where do I go to get my reputation back?

Back in May 2021 I was canceled from YouTube, and not for the first time.

“Our team has reviewed your content and, unfortunately, we think it violates our medical misinformation policy.”

The charge: that I had discussed “The Non-Existent Flu Season” with a Colorado ophthalmologist and online commentator, Dr. Brian Joondeph.

The reason we discussed it on my radio show was simple. Because just as the Panic was ginned up and hundreds of thousands of Americans were being reported as victims, suddenly, virtually no one was dying from influenza.

At the time, I would occasionally interview Joondeph – usually about the CDC’s own statistics. Believe me, we were very careful, because both of us knew what the Deep State was capable of doing to heretics.

One recurring theme on my show back then was the fact that to keep the Panic going, the Democrats were not telling the truth about COVID death statistics.

Remember the motorcyclist killed in an Orlando traffic accident – COVID, or so the “experts” claimed. Two people shot to death in Colorado – you guessed it, COVID.

In Pennsylvania, the state was putting out death stats by counties, and when a newspaper called a couple of the local coroners, they were told no one in their jurisdictions had in fact died of the Red Chinese flu.

The Democrats, namely Dr. Rachel (formerly Richard) Levine, had just made up the numbers out of whole cloth.

But the lies and hysteria served the purposes of The Party. The inflated numbers – the “grim milestones” – hurt Donald Trump. As Jane Fonda said at the time, COVID was God’s gift to the left.

Now, though, it’s time to move on. So the Democrats’ religious tract, The New York Times, has let the cat out of the bag. But only in the 17th paragraph of a story very few people read, about the declining number of deaths from the CCP-created virus.

“The official number is probably an exaggeration because it includes some people who had virus when they died even though it was not the underlying cause of death.”

Now they tell us! In the 17th paragraph no less.

“Other CDC data suggests that almost one-third of official recent COVID deaths have fallen into this category. A study published in the journal Clinical Infectious Diseases came to similar conclusions.”

Consider that after the collapse of the Russian collusion myth, the COVID hoax was Fake News’ top hoax to bring down Donald J. Trump, and to crush both the economy and the liberties of the American people.

Now state-run media say… never mind.

The House had a hearing on this very topic yesterday. Robert F. Kennedy Jr. was dragged through the mud, despite his Democrat credentials, for the high crime of… misinformation, which means telling the truth.

Here’s what I was accused of:

“YouTube does not allow content that spreads medical misinformation that contradicts the World Health Organization (WHO) or local health authorities’ medical information about COVID-19, including on methods to prevent, treat, or diagnose COVID-19 and means of transmission.”

Here is some of the medical information that was passed on that didn’t get you banned from YouTube:

You don’t have to wear a mask.

You must wear one mask.

You must wear two masks.

You will probably never be able to shake hands with anyone ever again.

Young children are at great risk of dying from the Red Chinese flu.

There is no way the virus was man-made by Communists as a bioweapon.

If you stay out weeknights after 9:30 at night you will be struck down.

On Friday and Saturday nights, however, you can stay out until 10:30 and the virus will leave you alone.

Golf courses can open, but not miniature-golf courses or driving ranges.

You can get COVID if you go to a restaurant and order a drink, but if you order a full meal, you’re safe.

Light snacks at a restaurant – say, potato chips – won’t protect you, but an order a side of French fries immunizes you. And chili fries make you practically invulnerable.

Open containers of alcohol are still illegal in cars, unless you order them to go from a bar.

Wearing a mask into a bank is still illegal, but the sign in the bank lobby next to that informs that you won’t be allowed inside the branch unless you are in fact wearing a mask, and thus violating the law.

It is absolutely forbidden to hold any parties – unless you’re an elected official, say, the lieutenant governor of Massachusetts.

If you get the vaccine, you will never get the Wuhan flu.

It is a pandemic of the unvaccinated.

Hydroxychloroquine and ivermectin not only don’t work against the virus, but are dangerous and may kill you, unlike the vaccines, which are totally safe.

Like most of you, I had a few problems with most of these “expert” recommendations. And as far as social media were concerned, any questioning of The Party’s orthodoxy was misinformation.

Here’s what YouTube told me:

“Your channel now has 2 strikes. You won’t be able to do things like upload, post or live stream for 2 weeks. Three strikes in the same 90-day period will result in your channel being permanently removed from YouTube.”

Telling the truth will get you banned. That was the diktat. One of the owners of YouTube is Sergey Brin, who was born in the Soviet Union. You gotta wonder, why the hell did he even flee the USSR if this was what he wanted his new homeland to become – a dystopian police state bereft of free speech.

But now the New York Times says… Never mind.

Nothing to see here folks, move along. Like the Russian collusion hoax, COVID served its purpose. As Harry Reid once said of another Republican, “He didn’t win, did he?”

As for me, I fled YouTube. I told them, include me out.

Now I’m on Rumble. And damn glad of it.
