(CENSORED) Gov. Ron DeSantis and discussion on masks for children

Dated: April 17, 2021 by Sharyl Attkisson 1 Comment

      

Gov. Ron DeSantis (R-Florida)

YouTube removed a video of Gov. Ron DeSantis (R-Florida) and a panel of scientific experts discussing Covid-19 issues.

The video was of a March 18 roundtable discussion with DeSantis and experts. The discussion included what many health experts contend: that it's unnecessary for children to wear masks. DeSantis reconvened the expert panel on April 12 for a further discussion on why lockdowns had negative consequences.

โ€œWhat weโ€™re really witnessing is Orwellian,โ€ DeSantis said of the censorship.

Under the leadership of DeSantis, Florida has managed to stay less locked down and more open than other states, and has suffered fewer serious Covid-19 issues than many.

Experts taking part in the discussion included:

  • Dr. Scott W. Atlas, MD, Robert Wesson Senior Fellow in health care policy at the Hoover Institution of Stanford University
  • Dr. Jay Bhattacharya, professor of medicine at Stanford University and research associate at the National Bureau of Economic Research
  • Dr. Martin Kulldorff, PhD, biostatistician, epidemiologist, and professor of medicine at Harvard Medical School

โ€œThereโ€™s nothing more dangerous than being able to censor what is said in a country, because then you are simply not ever going to even hear the truth. And you are entering into a phase of countries that we used to criticize severely like the USSR, like communist Chinaโ€ฆI mean, this is almost the end of our civilization if we have this sort of censorship, Iโ€™m afraid,โ€ said Dr. Scott Atlas. 

โ€œFor science to work, you have to have an open exchange of ideasโ€ฆIf youโ€™re going to make an argument that something is misinformation, you should provide an actual argument. You canโ€™t just take it down and say, โ€˜Oh, itโ€™s misinformationโ€™ without actually giving a reasonโ€ฆLetโ€™s hear the argument, letโ€™s see the evidence that YouTube used to decide it was misinformation. Letโ€™s have a debate. Science works best when we have an open debate,โ€ said Dr. Jay Bhattacharya.

โ€œWe need to have debates, rather than censoringโ€ฆWhen we do censoring and slandering, even if we are willing to continue to speak out, there are many other scientists that I know, including junior scientists, who do not want to speak out because they see whatโ€™s happening to us. They donโ€™t want to have to go through the same thing. So, we really need a debate,โ€ said Dr. Martin Kulldorff.

According to YouTube: โ€œWe removed this video because it included content that contradicts the consensus of local and global health authorities regarding the efficacy of masks to prevent the spread of COVID-19."

The March 18 video can still be found on YouTube via other entities that uploaded it. You can watch it below. You can also watch the April 12 discussion.
