Science is NOT ...
The good name of Science has been dragged through the mud in recent years. You may think you know what science is, but here is a Top 10 list of things that you may think are scientific, but are actually not.
Science is NOT:
10) a list of facts
9) apologetic reasoning
8) intolerant of dissent
7) policy or morality
6) a political slogan
5) settled
4) democratic
3) dictated from experts
2) a creed to be accepted
1) common sense

Why would you take a test? - ORIGINALLY UPLOADED Jan 2, 2022
BLAST FROM THE PAST..!! This video, which I uploaded to YouTube on January 2, 2022 was almost immediately removed by YouTube for expression of opinions that YouTube, under coercive pressure from the United States Government, did not approve of. Upon removal, YouTube sent me a friendly email, in which they threatened to terminate my channel if I continued expressing unapproved opinions. Since I have been a good boy for several months now, all but one of channel strikes have expired, so I am uploading this video again. I do not retract a single word.
ORIGINAL VIDEO DESCRIPTION:
Contact tracing has long ago stopped being useful. So why in the world is testing considered important?? The virus is never going away. So are you just going to test for the rest of your lives?

Pfizer did not test for viral transmission in emergency trials
Sorry guys - I was brought up to question authority, to think critically and not follow the mob on their good word. I will not let this go. The damage from our stupid, unscientific, panicked and discriminatory reaction to the pandemic is yet to be fully assessed. The dam holding this scandal back is about to burst.
Team YouTube has removed similar videos with my unapproved opinions - and has threatened to terminate my channel if I continue. If this video gets removed, you know what happened.

Unmasked, by Ian Miller - book review (originally uploaded 2/8/2022)
This is a book review of Unmasked: The Global Failure of Mask Mandates, by Ian Miller.
This video was originally published to this channel on February 8, 2022, with my expectation that it would be banned by YouTube and archived onto my Rumble site.
Indeed, YouTube did delete this video for my expression of unapproved opinions, slapped a strike on my channel, then sent me an email which threatened to terminate my channel if I continued to express unapproved opinions. Since 'Science' now apparently means banning oppositional opinions and unquestioned obedience to government health authorities, I dutifully obeyed and kept my trap shut. But now that these strikes have expired, and the man who claimed for himself the very personification of Science has announced his retirement, and now that YouTube has removed all mention of masks from its User Policy, I thought I would tempt the video hosting tech dweebs there in Silicon Valley and try publishing this book review again.
Unmasked by Ian Miller. Read it. Buy a copy for a friend. Send a copy to anybody who thinks the political slogan of Following THE SCIENCE ⟨™⟩ is how one engages in the principles of scientific inquiry.
Thank you for watching, and let's see if this video stays up.

The #ReadBannedBooks2022 Tag - by JFB
Books are banned to control information. It never works. Too bad that YouTube has not figured this out yet. YouTube and other giant social media corporations may be the greatest purveyors of banned information in the world today.
In the last two years, the world has experienced an unprecedented catastrophe. Our governments responded to this catastrophe in ways that, as far as YouTube is concerned, cannot be questioned, debated, or discussed. Any video that questions or doubts or debates the approved government message will be banned. I have had two videos banned so far, even for book reviews on this topic, with warnings that my channel will be terminated if I continue.
There is a reason some of us are seeking alternate video sharing sites. YouTube actively bans opinions that they do not agree with. Even book reviews. You may watch my banned book review here:
