| 0:00.0 | Naomi Wolfe, thank you very much. Thank you for everything that you do and thank you for joining us today. |
| 0:06.0 | I was shocked to be told by one of your colleagues that a state senator in my home state of New York has actually made a public announcement in a press release that I read as if he's proud of it. |
| 0:21.0 | Learning the world, the fact that he'd reached out to Jack Dorsey, the CEO of Twitter, to get you de-platformed for medical misinformation. Would you tell us about that, please? |
| 0:31.0 | His name is Brad Hollingman and he's a senator from Lower Manhattan and he's been very active for many years on the vaccine issue and I'm getting, you know, I'm getting rid of vaccine exemptions for the MMR vaccine and the other vaccines in the York State. |
| 0:49.0 | He sent a letter to Twitter using me and also my organization and the children's health defense of using of passing misinformation on a Twitter. |
| 1:01.0 | He did not specify exactly what this information was and as you know, children's health defense, we do not pose misinformation. |
| 1:10.0 | We, in fact, we fact check the movement. If we see misinformation from people who are trying to support safe vaccines, we'll work on our advisory board. |
| 1:22.0 | We have a Nobel Prize laureate, Luke Montenegro, who discovered the HIV virus and won the Nobel Prize in 1983. |
| 1:30.0 | We have two former chiefs of the National Toxicity program. We have dozens of PhDs and scientists and doctors and they would not tolerate if we were passing on misinformation. |
| 1:43.0 | So we fact check everything that we do at all of our public statements. |
| 1:48.0 | So, interestingly, we cite the source of all of them to peer review publications or to government databases. |
| 1:56.0 | And we've sent him a letter challenging him to tell us where we got the facts rock. |
| 2:04.0 | So, as you know, the term vaccine misinformation is not, it has nothing to do with the accuracy. It has to do with it. |
| 2:13.0 | It's a euphemism for any statement that departs from government orthodoxies or government proclamations, whether it's accurate or not. |
| 2:23.0 | And so when they say vaccine misinformation, it just means that we are questioning things that they don't want people to question. |
| 2:32.0 | So, once as a famous quote about people don't tear out a man's tongue because they're frightened that he is going to tell why a tear out is tongue because they're frightened that he's going to tell the truth. |
| 2:48.0 | And, you know, I think that's what is pretty clear that that's what we're dealing with here. |
| 2:53.0 | I think as you and I understand there's just an irony here that's almost comical and really shocking that a democratic elected official would be calling on one of these, you know, these internet titans who are really a threat to democracy. |
| 3:12.0 | And I think Dorsey is the best of all of them because he's at least making noises about, you know, I don't want to be a sensor. |
| 3:21.0 | And he's the late least enthusiastic, but they're all, you know, they're business on their corporations, they're serving their shareholders and they're relying on government contracts and they rely on these contracts, large corporations. |
| 3:37.0 | So, there's always this huge danger that these companies that now control the public square and they control speech in America will be hijacked for corporate purposes and for a Democrat to be actually calling on them to censor information that criticized a pharmaceutical product and a pharmaceutical product that is zero liability. |
| 4:01.0 | These are the companies that brought us the opioid epidemic that gave us viox that, you know, they just kill people wanting for profit and show that again and again and again that they're corrupt and that they're penal and that they're craving and mandatious. |
