[grc] Grc statement on covid?

[Ann Garrison]

I think there's a danger to censoring this.  As Glen Greenwald said,
"There's of course a danger to spreading misinformation, but the danger of
censoring it is worse." Also, I know Pacifica listeners who believe what
Gary Null said and they're not crackpots on other subjects, so I wouldn't
just assume that they are on this or at least some of it. And I'm speaking
as someone who's been vaccinated.
