Yes, MAGA Fredo does need to be protected from “controversial” opinions

Earlier this week, Musk’s podcaster pal Joe Rogan hosted Dr. Suzanne Humphries, a nephrologist who co-wrote the self-published 2013 book Dissolving Illusions: Disease, Vaccines, and the Forgotten History, which falsely claims that vaccines do not account for the decline of infectious diseases including smallpox and polio. In her interview, Humphries advanced her conspiracist narrative that medical researchers falsified their data in order to justify vaccinations, whereas what really made people ill were environmental toxins spread through poor sanitation and hygiene — which rapidly improved from the Nineteenth century onward, stemming the spread of disease.
Humphries made one outrageously false claim after another on Rogan’s podcast, at various points claiming that tuberculosis “was a side effect of the smallpox vaccine,” that polio cases were caused by the insecticide DDT, and that Covid-19 was lab-engineered to include “snake toxin proteins,” apparently echoing a years-old conspiracy theory about people getting the disease from snake venom in drinking water. “I would have told you that vaccines are one of the most important inventions in human history,” Rogan told Humphries during their conversation, appearing to accept everything she told him as fact. “And it saved us from polio, it saved us from smallpox. I would have been that guy ranting off all those statistics. I would have told you that. But then I read your book.”

As a liberal commie, I do believe that, because of the overwhelming evidence that the average Trump voter is a complete fucking idiot. MAGA Fredo who does his own research is, in fact, dumb, just like everybody says, and does need to be protected from “controversial” opinions for his own good, in the way that we put crash helmets on toddlers who ride bikes, even when they have training wheels.
The 21st century internet is just one giant refutation of the pious platitude that the remedy for bad speech is good speech, because in “the marketplace of ideas” the good ideas will eventually win out.
The remedy for bad speech is ruthless covert censorship by a properly credentialed class of Platonic guardians, who will thereby save the mob from its own bottomless stupidity, while feeding it the noble lie that it remains free to draw its own conclusions.
As to how to get there from wherever the hell here is, the suggestion box is open.
