Last week, a federal appeals court confirmed that science cannot function without free speech. Dr. Jay Bhattacharya reflects on a victory for himself—and every American.
Thank you Dr Jay - you are a true American hero at a time when America is almost lost. We knew it would come from within and what a shame that the regressives are intentionally destroying America. My sister was crying about it to me today, literally. She has been a lifelong Democrat and now sees the country she loved sliding away. You sir are a hero!
This ruling was a wonderful outcome to what should be such an easy outcome to reach if the "authorities" truly believed in the wisdom of our constitution. I read the Barrington Declaration when you published it and thought how sensible it was and finally someone with credentials has spoken up. Then to my dismay what started to occur and continues to this very day is the FEAR that the Press and the Government spewed out daily. Even today as I write, about making sure to get your children vaccinated and maybe some areas think about mask mandates. They use the mandated cliche of we are following the science and it is settled. You know science is never settled that is why we can call it science.
Thank you for your work, along with others, in identifying what didn't work during the pandemic, and specifically, how to assure that those mistakes don't occur again.
Mainstream media (NYT) on their comment sections either dont publish comments that are contrary to their or the article view point or wait till the article is stale .
I’m hoping Dr. Bhattacharya and the other plaintiffs will file a cross-appeal, challenging the omission of CISA and the other government lackeys from the scope of the injunction. While the current order bars both “direct” and “indirect” attempts to influence the social media companies, one can hardly rely on the government’s “good faith” in complying with that directive. Still, all in all, a win. I can’t wait to hear the U.S. government argue to this Supreme Court it should be permitted to suppress “protected speech.” These clowns are shameless.
...and Biden should be impeached for this action alone. Also heads of any agencies who infringed upon citizen’s first amendment rights should be forced to step down.
Where are the consequences? This is so basic an infringement on our constitutional rights anyone in government who participated is automatically disqualified. They aren’t fit to lead.
Thanks Dr. Bhattacharya for your story and your actions. We are headed for communism/dictatorship, so your work is very much appreciated by this US citizen. All we need to know about COVID response is how Fauci has flipflopped numerous times on the use of masks. We just need to live our lives and not be programmed to what the government says. We are losing our freedoms; speech, right to assemble and right to bear arms. The left is now publicly weaponizing the press to do its dirty work on the Biden impeachment. Boy have we sunk to new lows.
I never heard of Dr Battacharya before the Great Barrington Declaration. However, I have admired him and since then, even more. What Collins, Fauci and the Biden administration did to him is unforgivable. It would be great if the case gets appealed to the Supreme Court. Then, it would be a b big story which would expose the cancellation culture of Joe Biden for all to see. Kudos to Dr. Jay.
" I have learned the hard way that it is only we, the people, who must hold an overreaching government accountable for violating our most sacred rights. Without our vigilance, we will lose them.". Amen and amen
Stunning and outrageous behavior on the government's part. Equally offensive, the cowards at Twitter, Facebook, et al., who complied, rather than scream bloody murder. So too the craven media. All the rights in the world are useless without good people like Dr. Bhattacharya; would that more will stand.

I only have anecdotal data

Thank you for standing up for our freedoms. We know it was not easy. God Bless!
Thank you for being one of the few not willing to promote the big lie.
A day late to the party but a PARTY and celebration this is. Thank you Dr. Bhattacharya and The FP for publishing this.
Sharing immediately wherever I can...

This is one of the most important articles yet posted on The Free Press. Thank you.
Thank you for standing up for truth against such odds. You are an American hero.
