My invitation to CDC director Rochelle Walensky

When two parties have differences, the proper way to resolve those differences is through civil discussion, not censorship.

I sent this invitation to CDC Director Rochelle Walensky just now:

Here’s the full text

Hi Rochelle,

I've emailed you before, but you've ignored me. So I'm trying again.

According to many sources, I'm one of the world's top misinformation spreaders.

In fact, if you do a google search for misinformation superspreader, I’m the top hit! 249,000 results and I’m #1!!!

I'm also the #1 misinformation spreader on Substack according to this analysis.

Did you know that we both have exactly the same goals? It's to save lives.

Since President Biden and Obama have said that misinformation costs lives, I was hoping you and your team could meet with us in a recorded public forum to resolve the dispute.

Clearly, censoring us hasn't worked. This is still America and censorship is not the way to resolve scientific disputes.

And this is costing lives. If we are wrong about the data, we are happy to back down.

The accepted way in America to resolve scientific debate is through discourse, not censorship. I hope you agree with that. Have you read UCSF Professor Vinay Prasad's excellent op-ed? The title says it all, “Scientists who express different views on Covid-19 should be heard, not demonized.”

Do you agree?

If you accept, I will invite all my misinformation spreader friends, including all of the people on Biden's Disinformation Dozen list, and more. Kennedy, Mercola, ... we'll all show up.

You and your team can set the record straight in front of the American people.

Each side gets the same amount of talk time and each side will present to the other side a list of issues for the debate so there are no surprises and everyone can come prepared.

And I know you are busy. You and your staff have turned down all of Senator Johnson’s requests to discuss the science in the past because you were so busy. We are willing to accommodate any time and date of your choice.

You don’t even have to be there since we all know how busy you are.

You set the time. You set the date. You set the rules. What could be more fair than that? You can have a list of people on our side you require to attend.

I look forward to hearing from you.

I can be reached at <redacted>.

How you can help

Please share this post widely on social media now.

And be sure to post it to her Twitter account too, just to make sure she is aware of it. I can’t do that as I’m banned from using Twitter since Twitter thinks the best way to resolve disputes is by censoring people.
