KS-SEN: Facebook removes Roger Marshall's post on CDC coronavirus death data, congressman says

[RandySF]

Congressman Roger Marshall said Facebook removed a post he made on COVID-19 death data reported by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

“Social media companies should not be allowed to censor science that they disagree with,” Marshall said Tuesday in a new Facebook post. “This is corporate censorship, pure and simple.”

The Republican doctor represents western Kansas in the U.S. House of Representatives and is running for the Senate against Democrat Barbara Bollier, who is also a doctor.

Marshall said his original Facebook post was published on Sunday and received nearly 80,000 views and thousands of shares before it was taken down on Monday. He said the post was about new CDC data on COVID-19 patients who had died and also had underlying health conditions.

The CDC reported that for 6% of coronavirus disease deaths, COVID-19 was the only cause listed. The other 94% of deaths had at least one additional contributing condition or cause of death.

1. That is such a stupid argument

Say someone gets pneumonia and dies. They had some pre existing condition but were otherwise healthy. They fucking died of pneumonia, not their pre existing condition. Just asinine

2. Indeed, Sir

By that argument, deaths from flu total zero.
