In yesterday's Facebook Files release, it came out that Facebook, in its desperation to cool down these White House apes, promised to reduce traffic to Carlson's video by 50% while it was "in the queue to be fact-checked"!

Apart from the obvious, why was this insane? Because while the White House fumed and outlets like the Washington Post excoriated Carlson for a "just asking questions… shtick," it turned out he was asking the right questions.

Why, if the vaccine worked, was Anthony Fauci telling people they shouldn't "attend medium to large gatherings" or remove masks?

Similarly: why was Justin Trudeau saying, "Vaccination on its own isn't enough to keep us safe," if the shot worked? Maybe, Carlson speculated, the vaccine doesn't work?

These were obvious and appropriate questions, but officials and journalists alike killed Carlson for them anyway. YouTube is still packed with TUCKER DISINFO DERP videos that are, themselves, actually wrong:
