Great stuff Clare. Nothing seems to have changed in the year since I wrote this

https://arkmedic.substack.com/p/the-pseudoscientific-swamp-of-twitter

Except in one sense, we now have a better idea who is doing this and it seems to be mostly driven by:

(1) the 77th brigade in the UK, who are funded by the British taxpayer to drive pharma propaganda and ensure the removal of any scientific voice (e.g. your or mine) from twitter. That contravenes the UK public interest disclosure laws and I will bet it breaks a few other laws. Eventually the British public will realise that their funds were skimmed to support pharma advertising and people died as a result. I would suggest the people involved start looking for lawyers soon.

(2) Individual "researchers" who are claiming to be experts without any track record of expertise and/or withhold conflicts of interest. It is unknown who is providing them their information, or whether they are incentivised to act as they do. This group would involve people like Gideon Meyerowitz-Katz (not a PhD), Susan Oliver (not a clinician), Victoria Male (not an obstetrician), Kyle Sheldrick (not a statistician) and Deepti Gurdusani (not a clinical epidemiologist). I'm sure there are others.

(3) Physicians who have a very limited (if any) pubmed track record, PhD or any statistical, public health or epidemiological expertise who are acting as experts in these fields.

(4) Other individuals with vested and demonstrable interests with Pharma, or involved government entities

(5) The COVID origins cover-uppers. Those people that "went to Wuhan" or wrote about how "the virus came from an animal" when the genomic sequences proved that it did not.

If anyone else wants to add to the list... Please feel free.

I didn't know about the 77th Brigade, which is interesting.

However, pharma has been operating paid astroturfing teams for years. UK based bloggers and 'IT experts' are part of this spectrum. Some of them earn their livings from groups funded by pharma, all paid to rubbish any kind of alternative medicine and perceived competition to pharma.

Twitter is a signatory to the EU Commision's "Code of Practice on Disinformation" initiative. It's Ministry of Truth-like stuff

This boil is about to be lanced. Twitter seems to have serious security problems, and the take-over attempt by Elon Musk may become the catalyst, for Twitters old CSO who they fired in Feb. has just turned whistle blower. https://www.cnn.com/2022/08/23/politics/twitter-whistleblower-capitol-hill-briefings/index.html

There are rumours that one way the censorship function at Twitter is paid for is because Big Pharma pays exorbitant advertising rates on Twitter, but gets the censorship in the bargain. Also watch the revelations from Alex Berenson.

You've been and continue to be a clear and calm voice of reason in this nightmarish, dystopian medical disinformation war in which we find ourselves. I'm constantly meeting v vaccinated people who have 'had enough' shots and will have no more (sadly the damage has been done), so voices such as yours must be given credit for waking up the sleepwalking victims of this massive fraud. We will follow you to the end of the nightmare, Clare. Thanks again.

I was appalled/angry when I heard of the ban, but sadly not entirely surprised.

The likes of you, Norman Fenton, Joel Smalley, Mike Yeadon, Ryan Cole, Pierre Kory, Sucharit Bhakdi etc. have kept me sane ( I think) over the last 2.5 tears.

I don't know how you manage all you do, but keep going and never let them get you down.

There are far more of us than they would have you believe (despite the efforts of the MSM) thanks to people like you.

Oh, and I look forward to seeing you soon on the BBC. Lol.

Is https://t.me/ClareCraig is a third Telegram impostor account?

Anyway, if enough accounts report a tweet, automated systems will disable you. The swamp life know this and use this, and Twitter turns a blind eye.

I'm told to keep a very close eye on any lists people may add you to, and if anyone adds you to a list which seems unsolicited, or unwanted - it's probably wise to get off that list and block the person who added you.

Well done on getting back, you were missed and I'd rather hear an echo than silence..

Delighted that you are back on (the horrible) twittereatiworld, and also good that you have branched out to other platforms in case the Matthew Hopkins of our generation target you again. Please keep speaking truth to power / lies... and sharing it with the world! All the best. Steve Kippax

some advice...for accts like this which have important messages to get out, AND which have excessive troll activity, you gotta pre-block those who would swarm your acct with fake reports. i know! it doesn't *feel* right. no one should have to do this. in a forum of 'free' discussion the best argument wins (blah blah blah). right? wrong.

twitter is a dumb machine that works best for dumb propaganda so you have to prune your following and block those who'd mess with your work.

Good call! I have a (very very) small Gab account and occasionally people follow me who are completely against my worldview - I just bin them straight off!

It seems pretty convenient that Twitter are blaming an automated process to remove spam accounts in bulk when that is obviously not the case. It's an obvious witch-hunt from brainwashed individuals who don't like their sensibilities being questioned and proved wrong. I agree that they would never have reinstated your account without the fuss that was caused. Look at the number of others who have been suspended for going against the agreed narrative and have not been reinstated. Hopefully Twitter will now do something about these witch-hunts. I'm not so sure they will though. I too set up alternative social media accounts in light of your suspension as I share a lot of your evidence (and others of the same vein) and am very aware that no-one is going to make a fuss if I become a target of these idiots! Welcome back Clare, please keep doing what you're doing. The truth must prevail! As must freedom of belief and speech.

Dear Dr Craig, I have been following you since mid 2020 (having been on Twitter since 2014 without any suspensions) but on 17 August 2022 twitter banned me forever because I challenged a lawyer who had smeared Dr Jessica Rose about dangers of covid vax. I have been unable to contact anyone and because I only had 2,800 followers nobody really noticed. I wanted to reach out to you to say it feels very lonely as I depended upon people like you and other experts for speaking the truth and reducing my fear. Sending you all good wishes and thanks for your amazingly hard work.

It seems twitter is a law unto itself, and makes it up as it goes along, with many rogue or maverick programmers and culture warriors who can make their own executive decisions, so it might not have much sense behind it. On the other hand, I have watched all the people I follow being picked off one by one, and you are one of the last people standing, so I was expecting this. The question then is how come they reversed it for you and not others?
