Interesting mantra.
Anyway, I'd say this is a complex situation and there is some validity in your point of view and mine as well. I think it was a mistake to censor, smear early treatment and fire people even if they had acquired immunity. Seems cruel to me.
I also think it is cruel to deny people early treatment due to gov edict instead of allowing doctors to treat their patients how they see fit.
I think the policy of turning people away from the hospital until symptoms worsened instead of using early treatments was a massive mistake.
I don't pretend to have absolute infallible knowledge and wouldn't advocate for censorship as the princple of free speech is precisely tested during strong disagreement.
I personally would advise you not be so casually contemptous of those principles. I'm not trying to insulate myself from criticism. Only one of us has expressed a desire that the other be censored.
