TikTok Censors Video of Allison Pearson, Liam Halligan and Sarah Knapton

by Toby Young
11 February 2023 11:00 AM

TikTok removed a clip of Sarah Knapton, the Telegraph’s Science Editor, discussing the links between mRNA vaccines and heart problems, claiming it violated the Chinese app’s ‘community guidelines’. The Telegraph has more.

TikTok has been criticised for censoring concerns over potential side-effects of the Covid vaccines after taking down a video of Daily Telegraph journalists discussing the topic.

The social media platform removed a clip from the Planet Normal podcast on Friday afternoon, before later reuploading it.

Adam Brooks, a publican and social media commentator, had posted an excerpt of the discussion between Sarah Knapton, the Telegraph’s Science Editor, and columnists Allison Pearson and Liam Halligan, who present the weekly series.

Discussing potential adverse effects of mRNA vaccines, Ms Knapton, whose science journalism has won several industry awards, said that if she had been in her twenties she “wouldn’t necessarily go for” a vaccination because of the balance of risks.

“There clearly is some sort of – definitely an observational link between an increase in heart problems after, particularly the mRNA jabs, and we don’t know what the long term outcome of that will be,” she told Planet Normal.

The Government’s own website acknowledges the link stating: “Many studies have now shown that there is an increased risk of myocarditis (heart inflammation) following vaccination with an mRNA vaccine, especially in young men under the age of 40.”

The video of her comments, posted by Mr Brooks, seemed to have been swiftly deleted by TikTok with a message which read “this video violates our community guidelines”.

It had been reinstated by the platform as of Friday night, when it was available to watch on his profile once again.

Worth reading in full.

I don’t think anything will all suddenly burst out in one big tsunami, I think it will be death by a thousand cuts, and we’re already somewhere in the middle of that process now.

Totalitarianism eventually devours it’s own.

“Trusted” news sources now getting censored.

Hilarious

There are no comments allowed on the DT story and the DT’s own editorial today is headed “The Conservatives must not bow to the new censorship”. Risible really.

“…it violated the Chinese app’s ‘community guidelines’.”
tiktok seem to share someone else’s view on the importance of community:

“For you must also understand this, my people’s comrades: No leader can use more strength than his followers give him! What am I without you? What you do not give me, I can never use for your own benefit! If you refuse me your unanimous unity, what should I do?! I am a single man, I can possess the best will. The will is not worth more to you than your will is worth to me! And that brings us to the problem of freedom! Freedom, yes! Insofar as the interest of the national community gives the individual freedom, it is given! Where the freedom affects or even impairs the interests of the national community, the freedom of the individual ceases! Then the freedom of the national community takes the place of the freedom of the individual!” A. H. (1937)

I don’t get it.

The CCP didn’t do mRNA vaccines so have no skin in the game. I could understand it if they were talking about the WIV – but this was discussing heart problems following the novel jabs.

Confused.

Please see on Youtube: “Fauci Follows ‘the Science’ | Kate Wand”
China has taken over most of the world’s manufacturing. They were the only country with a growing economy at the beginning of the WHO declared pandemic, while the rest of the democratic west adopted CCP derived measures to lock up it’s citizens and bring their economies to a standstill. It’s not possible to wholly blame China because much of the damage has been self inflicted. However, listening to ex KGB Yuri Bezmenov, much of what is happening in the west may not be entirely self inflicted.

Oh dear. The wilfully blind, late to the party, limited hangout Planet Normal podcast getting dragged into the quagmire of censorship. It was revealed that the equally lame Julia Hartley-Brewer had met a similar fate with the 77th Brigade a couple of weeks ago. Where will it end?

Well, those very voices have been complicit in encouraging the jab by stating over and over that they were double /triple jabbed before they made a comment on the draconian policies being deployed. They’re part of the problem.
