Senator Warren urges Amazon to tackle COVID-19 misinformation
engadget ^ | September 8th, 2021 | K Holt

A month before the COVID-19 pandemic shut down much of the West in March 2020, Amazon pledged to remove products that claimed to cure the coronavirus. However, items that promote misinformation about COVID-19 and vaccines are still appearing in search results on the Amazon storefront, according to Senator Elizabeth Warren.

The senator's staff found that searches for terms including “COVID-19,” “COVID,” “vaccine,” “COVID-19 vaccine” and “pandemic” led to results such as books peddling "falsehoods about COVID-19 vaccines and cures," including at least one that Amazon tagged as a best seller.

In a letter to Amazon CEO Andy Jassy, which was spotted by CNBC, Warren urged the company to review Amazon's algorithms. She called on Jassy to, within 14 days, detail a plan to modify the algorithms so they no longer turn up products that include COVID-19 misinformation, and to release a public report on "the extent to which Amazon’s algorithms are directing consumers" to such items at the moment.

All they say is: The science is settled without saying how science settled it; not one word about the things that are in the various vacc’s and how they affect your system, like what it does to it.

Surprised Warner isn’t wanting Amazon to require buyers to provide proof of vaccination before selling to them.

I watched a couple of PhD’s in medical science just tear apart those vaccines and what’s in them and how they can destroy your body. Wasn’t it Japan who threw out millions of doses of Medura because of contamination? Now my company is wanting us to get vaxxed; not me, not now, not ever.

9 Sept: news.com.au: Details from Seven journalist’s Covid vaccine post go missing
Large parts of a video post from Seven reporter Denham Hitchcock about adverse reactions to the Pfizer vaccine have gone missing.
by Ben Graham With Natalie Brown
Seven reporter Denham Hitchcock has heavily edited a video post on his Instagram page about adverse Covid vaccine reactions – reportedly after his employer stepped in and had a word with him...

The accompanying video – in which he speaks to Therapeutic Goods Administration boss Professor John Skerritt and epidemiologist Catherine Bennett about adverse Covid-19 vaccine reactions – had also been edited down from 22 minutes to just 14 minutes...

Executive director of the Victor Chang Cardiac Research Institute, Professor Jason Kovacic, told news.com.au that instances of myocarditis and pericarditis after receiving the Pfizer vaccine occur “only very, very rarely”...

FakeNewsMSM under constant pressure to flood the zone with the official story.

Senator Elizabeth Warren...

About all you can do is hang your head and realize a body of
people in this nation was foolish enough to vote for her to
represent them.

They viewed her to be one of the best and brightest of their
state.

My Senators are Pelosi and Feinstein, so I certainly can’t
brag about our own political Mistresses of the Night.

That scowling schoolmarm Karen wants to make sure no one has any freedom of expression. It might lead to shining a light on the mistakes and misdirection of the Dem leaders and their phony “science.”

Will she be Kamala’s VP someday?

I would like Amazon to QUIT CALLING ME TO INFORM ME OF RENEWAL OF MY AMAZON ACCOUNTS.....

I do NOT buy from Amazon, and I don’t wish to do so.
