Who is Jay Bhattacharya? Stanford University prof blacklisted by Twitter for opposing Covid-19 lockdowns
STANFORD, CALIFORNIA: A tenured Stanford professor says that he was blacklisted by Twitter for opposing Covid-19 lockdowns as some of his ideas were too dangerous. While appearing on the Ricochet podcast along with conservative host James Lileks on Friday, December 9, Dr Jay Bhattacharya discussed his inability to be verified on Twitter for it was disclosed last week that the social media banned him to prevent his ideas from spreading.
"It turns out James that I'm on a blacklist which I thought the United States kind of put behind us in like the 1950s but I guess that's the modern way now," Bhattacharya said, according to Daily Mail. "What happens with this kind of mechanism of social control is to tell the world that this idea is too dangerous to discuss. This person is too dangerous to think about."
