The post discussed the new data published by the CDC showing that only 6% of deathsweredue solely to COVID-19, while the remaining 94% of deaths had two or more underlying health conditions. Social media companies should not be allowed to censor science that they disagree with. This iscorporatecensorship, pure and simple, said Rep. Marshall. As a physician, I believe in discussing all data, options,and research with my patients. This was data published by the CDC,but unfortunately did not fit the narrativethat the leftand the liberal media want us to believe. We cannot allow social media companies to determine what we do and not learn about this virus. Americans deserve to be informed. Before being deleted by Facebook, the post had garnered nearly 80,000 views and was shared by thousands offollowers. | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z |
