The Virality Project: the deep censorship network packaged as "academic research" is actually a huge network of illegal activities paid for by US government grants

The USG is absolutely prohibited from censoring Americans due to the First Amendment. But Rs & Ds built a massive censorship network-one REQUIRED to convince Americans to voluntarily poison themselves

Hat tip to SimonfromFlorida. The Virality Project produced a 225 page report on how to destroy the US republic by stealth while getting rich quick, by forming fake charities to carry out the dirty deeds. Can you believe the chutzpah of these criminals? Bill Gates’ University created a “Center for an Informed Public.” One partner had a “Transparency Institute.” Stanford’s center (an ‘Observatory’) made itself sound like a planetarium. Would you believe one partner to the censorship/propaganda putsch called itself a “Conference on Citizenship?”

This report has to do only with their vaccine information censorship. God only knows what else these so-called “researchers” have been working on. Excerpts from the report below.

20221.2. Informing the Scope of the Virality Project
1.2.2 External Stakeholder Engagement
The Virality Project established a nonpartisan, multi-stakeholder model consisting
of health sector leaders, federal health agencies, state and local public health officials, social media platforms, and civil society organizations. These stakeholders provided tips, feedback, and requests to assess specific incidents and narratives, and each entity type brought specific expertise to bear on understanding COVID-19
vaccine hesitancy:
• Civil society organizations engaged with VP by both providing tips and
receiving VP outputs that enabled them to better understand emerging in-
cidents and narratives that might impact their communities. Community
partners were well positioned to observe anti-vaccine misinformation spread-
ing within their communities, as well as to create or deliver effective and
accurate counter-messaging to address it. They offered a trusted voice that
could also convey up-to-date facts on vaccine safety and availability to counter
false or misleading claims.
• Public health partners had a deep understanding of the latest research on
COVID-19 and the vaccines, as well as prior experience communicating the
value of immunization to the communities they serve. What they often lacked
was the capability to quantify what false and misleading narratives were going
viral, or spreading outside of long-standing anti-vaccine echo chambers, to
determine what might benefit from their attention. Partnerships and open
communication channels with health practitioners, such as the #ThisIsOur-
Shot (#TIOS) collective44 and the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP),
facilitated information sharing between VP researchers and frontline health
workers. Health practitioners in turn communicated the anti-vaccine and
vaccine hesitancy narratives they heard from patients, and offered visibility
into the impact the narratives had on vaccination behavior. Doctors also
helped the Virality Project understand medical consensus in a rapidly evolv-
ing environment by sharing the latest findings on the vaccines (such as the
rare link between mRNA vaccines and myocarditis/pericarditis). Partnerships
with local health officials through the California Department of Public Health
(CDPH)45 and networked organizations such as the National Association of
County Health Officials (NACCHO)46 offered visibility into geographic com-
munities.
• Federal government agencies served as coordinators for national efforts.
The Virality Project built strong ties with several federal government agen-
cies, most notably the Office of the Surgeon General (OSG) and the CDC, to
facilitate bidirectional situational awareness around emerging narratives. The
CDC’s biweekly “COVID-19 State of Vaccine Confidence Insights” reports pro-
vided visibility into widespread anti-vaccine and vaccine hesitancy narratives
observed by other research efforts.47
171. Introduction
• Platforms were the final stakeholders in the VP effort. Six social media
platforms engaged with VP tickets—Facebook (including Instagram), Twitter,
Google (including YouTube), TikTok, Medium, and Pinterest—acknowledging
content flagged for review and acting on it in accordance with their policies.
On occasion, platforms also provided information on the reach of narratives
previously flagged by VP, which provided a feedback loop leveraged to inform
the Project’s understanding of policies and ongoing research.
As the effort progressed, input from these partners was crucial in defining the VP’s
output formats and in surfacing where the impacts of vaccine mis- and disinforma-
tion were being felt offline…

For example, four days after the FDA and CDC recommended pausing
the Johnson & Johnson vaccine, VP researchers posted an analysis of the anti-
vaccine community’s framing of this incident.51 Blog posts were written to examine
themes and repetitive tactics; some were retrospective, analyzing successful anti-
vaccine tactics or conceptual strategies such as content moderation avoidance
strategies.52
Additionally, our researchers spoke directly with media outlets and served on panels discussing anti-vaccine misinformation. [“Researchers?”—Nass] Stanford Internet Observatory and theVirality Project also hosted Surgeon General Vivek Murthy for a seminar on vaccine mis- and disinformation,53 including the rollout of the Surgeon General’s advisory on health misinformation.5
