[grc] Grc statement on covid?

Tue Apr 20 10:22:56 PDT 2021

So I say that the earth is flat, that gravity is a hoax, and that the world is being run by lizard people and broadcast that over the airwaves and it's censorship to be sanctioned or cut off for promoting those lies???  Come on people. Hydrochloroquine is proven not to successfully treat Covid, Covid vaccine deaths are nonexistent, and both healthy people and people with pre-existing conditions die FROM THE INFECTION.  Not speaking out against disinformation is what is dangerous. I say that as a vaccinated nurse practitioner with 40 years of experience in the science or healthcare.
