Why the Censorship?

by Sharon Rondeau

(Oct. 3, 2021) — On Thursday, The Post & Email received an email from Medium.com, where we occasionally repost our work, stating that a recent article was removed from view as a result of its “elevated risk of potential harm to persons or public health.”

The article in question is titled, “‘NoMoreSilence’ Details Adverse Reactions, Deaths around the World.” The link provided in the notification leads to a large “410” message stating, “This post is under investigation or was found in violation of the Medium Rules.”

The entire message reads:

The Post & Email reviewed the policies.  The next day we sent a message to Medium through the link appearing after “Have more questions?” at the bottom of its “COVID-19 Content Policy” page.  We wrote:

Hello, yesterday I received a notice from the “Trust & Safety” division stating that Medium removed an article I posted about reported adverse events, including deaths, from Covid-19 vaccines. I have reviewed your terms and the specific items about the vaccines which you claim I violated.

My story was factual about a new website reporting adverse events, two of which have been acknowledged by the CDC and Pfizer in their own literature: 

https://www.pfizermedicalinformation.com/en-us/pfizer-biontech-covid-19-vaccine/adverse-reactions

https://www.cdc.gov/vaccines/covid-19/clinical-considerations/myocarditis.html

Pfizer states in its disclosures that it does not possess enough information to link some “serious” adverse events to its vaccines but acknowledges they have been reported.

There are also many physicians, many of whom are specialists, warning about possible risks vs. benefits to particular age groups and cohorts. One of those physicians, Dr. Robert Malone, developed the mRNA technology and believes that not enough data has been collected nor disseminated to the public for people to make informed decisions:

The Pfizer vaccines are mRNA-based.  According to Pfizer, “safety evaluations” are “ongoing.”  https://www.pfizermedicalinformation.com/en-us/pfizer-biontech-covid-19-vaccine/adverse-reactions

In light of the above, I believe your prohibition of “False, unfounded, or disproven claims regarding the safety or efficacy of COVID-19 vaccines and their potential side effects, including false, unfounded, exaggerated, or disproven claims that COVID-19 vaccines kill or seriously harm people” deprives the public of its right to know that Pfizer and the CDC have acknowledged a link between myocarditis and pericarditis and the vaccines.

The CDC has also reported that “Serious adverse events after COVID-19 vaccination are rare but may occur”:  https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/vaccines/safety/adverse-events.html

and that “recent reports indicate a plausible causal relationship between the J&J/Janssen COVID-19 Vaccine and TTS, a rare and serious adverse event—blood clots with low platelets—which has caused deaths pdf icon[1.4 MB, 40 pages].”

My article was about reports of adverse events as reported by the website; there is nothing non-factual about that.  I therefore take issue with your removal of it and would appreciate your review and response.

Thank you.
