Medium Cancels My Fauci Post. Malone Likes It
I received the following email from Medium, notifying me they were removing my article on Anthony, Fauci, Devil’s Advocate: Farewell to Fauci, that I cross-posted there and here. I was a little surprised, since they published more controversial posts of mine, including my fiercely critical anti-mandate article (Danger to Society: Against Vaccine Passports). It was also the outlet that launched Caitlin Johnstone into prominence. But I guess the good doctor is just sacrosanct.
I sent the following response:
I am disappointed and confused by your removal of my article, "Devil’s Advocate: Farewell to Fauci." Did someone make a complaint about it, or was this your spontaneous action?
Please indicate specifically what in this piece violates your rules.
This article is comprised of Anthony Fauci's own statements, It gives a critical take, based on those statements. It does not threaten harm to anybody or anything. It is, in fact, less controversial than other things I have published on Medium. (Which makes me suspect you are reacting to a complaint by some Fauci fan.)
Are you now taking the position that any criticism of Anthony Fauci is too "harmful" to publish? If so, please state that publicly and explicitly, so everyone will know that is your editorial policy. I can think of no other reason that you would remove this article. Removing it without explaining specifically what in it violates what specific policy is a blatant example of cowardly censorship whose only purpose is to protect official policy and policymakers.
Please restore this essay, and your own credibility.
Another example of arbitrary, ridiculous, pro-establishment censorship, about which I’ll have more to say.
Meanwhile, I was pleased to see that Dr. Robert Malone liked my comment on his substack on Fauci (Fauci News You Can Use). I hope that means he read and liked my post, too.
