Dr. Jay Bhattacharya, an author of theĀ Great Barrington Declaration in which thousands of scientists called for a policy against COVID lockdown measures, visited Twitter HQ at Elon Musk’s invitation.
Bhattacharya was one of many experts censored by Twitter during the plandemic for challenging the narrative of COVID lockdowns.
Bhattacharya explained that he visited Twitter to learn more about the blacklist that he was placed on after he came out against lockdowns.
Twitter 1.0 placed me on the blacklist on the first day I joined in August 2021. I think it was my pinned tweet linking to the @gbdeclaration that triggered the blacklist based on unspecified complaints Twitter received.

It will take some time to find out more about what led Twitter 1.0 to act so imperiously, but I am grateful to @elonmusk, who has promised access to help find out. I will report the results on Twitter 2.0, where transparency and free speech rule.

“Thank you for your rigorous adherence to science,” Musk tweeted in reply to Bhattacharya.

“The professor was one of the leading voices who encouraged Musk last month to make public records of Twitterās previous censorship regime,” Summit News noted.
The single most important step that twitter could take to promote free speech is to release all the correspondence between twitter censors and government officials these past 3 years. Expose the government censorship regime, @elonmusk! https://t.co/HI33P6vtYx

In response to a tweet asking about how Twitter suppressed COVID information, Musk replied “Oh it is coming bigtime…”

Musk triggered leftists and Branch Covidians by tweeting “My pronouns are Prosecute/Fauci.”
Cont. from Summit News:
Infectious diseases expert Bhattacharya has previously warned that āWhen you take a position that is at odds with the scientific clerisy, your life becomes a living hell.ā
Speaking at the recent Academic Freedom Conference at Stanfordās Graduate School of Business, Bhattacharya, who previously described lockdowns as theĀ most catastrophically harmful policy in āall of history,āĀ andĀ āthe single worst public health mistake in the last 100 years,āĀ noted āwe have a high clerisy that declares from on high what is true and what is not true.ā
He added that he has come to the conclusion that āacademic freedom is dead.ā
