    I don't have to. I never said it was peer reviewed. She (the doctor) claims that there is peer reviewed research. Why don't you check her website?

    Don’t need to. I didn’t make the argument, so it’s not mine to support.

    That’s not what the quoted sentence claimed.

    Cant make you. If you don’t mind standing by false accusations that’s up to you.

    I don't know does it? Hey, the picture also shows some women and minorities too! I wonder how many of them are gay?

    That's what I meant.
    I made it clear what I meant. If you can't accept that that's up to you.

    Sex and minority status does not impact the veracity of a claim. Credentials do.

    You should be more careful with your words then.

    How about you quote the offending statement and make the correction there so we can put this behind us.

    Well that goes for the both of us. I never made the argument that peer reviewed science says that hydroxychloroquine works as a treatment for COVID. I merely suggested that there are many physicians who are using it successfully to treat COVID and that there is other anecdotal evidence to suggest that people are being denied treatment and that COVID numbers are being jacked up and that people are intentionally being infected.

    Ah, okay. So you’re only argument is, by your own admission, supported only by anecdotal evidence.
    Well let me just file that away in the bin where it belongs.

    Yes. This is not uncommon. It is an argument fallacy called attack the messenger. It is being employed quite effectively in the new cancel culture by the #FakeNews media to silence critics and destroy the first amendment right of free speech.

    Sorry, but credentials matter when it comes to making scientific claims.
    No snake oil sales men here, thank you.

    Thanks for the advise.
    Not necessary. You quoted it twice, I corrected it.

    Fair enough.

    I’ll do you a solid in the future and double check if your statements are meant to be fact or opinion before I take them to mean one thing or another.

    Not necessary. Unless I say something is absolute fact directly mostly what I say is what I think. That's how humans communicate.

    Where in the Constitution does it say freedom of speech but only if it is backed up with peer reviewed science?

    First amendment is protection of free speech against government, not private entities. T

    You understand these "not private entities" get tax exemptions for being a free speech forum, not publishers determining content? These doctors are speaking out against the government.

    I don't know how you have a leg to stand on.

    They are using full population (my screen must have cut off those columns) to deaths, I'm using cases to deaths.

    They can make all the nonsense claims they want. Their right to do so is not being infringed by the government, but if they want to be believed there are minimum standards they have to meet.

    I will disagree. Their right is being infringed by government. There is pressure from government through the media to shut down conservative speech which is why their video which received millions of views was taken down. I've been shut down as well. I have been permanently banned from Twitter. Now I can't even use that platform to speak with friends, gather news of the day or other casual uses for the plarform.
