With Musk's platform abolishing a rule against pandemic misinformation, conspiracy theorists are right back on their bulls--t.

Former Fox Sports personality Clay Travis, who founded the right-wing sports site Outkick and who repeatedly downplayed the severity of Covid during the early days of the pandemic, also tweeted, jubilantly, about the end of the policy. “Finally. The truth is that almost everything @twitter labeled as covid misinformation ended up being true,” he said in a tweet liked more than 3,100 times.

Some tweets, including those about Dr. Fauci and Ivermectin, have a distinctly 2020 feel to them. Georgia Congresswoman and QAnon supporterbrought up mask use, as though it were a novel observation as we near the end of the third year of the pandemic. “So many people still wearing masks,” she tweeted on Monday.

It’s time to leave. Where will you be?

Funny how the conspiracy theories and all becoming conspiracy facts!!! Looks like the censorship rules were keeping the TRUTH hidden so they can push government narratives through

Except it’s coming true! So it appears the misinformation is coming from the left. You really should be responsible and do your research. There’s a reason why cnn’s ratings are down. The truth is coming out now and you should probably start catching up rather than spread lies.

I honestly wouldn’t know there was a rule. I’ve seen those nonstop for the last 2 years

When I think of COVID disinformation on Twitter, I think of Rolling Stone.

So the misinformation about masks not working was…… misinformation?

After all the official lies, distortions around covid origin, possible treatments and vaccine efficiency and doctors kicked out of platforms to communicate with the public RS is concerned about Twitter opening up? So pathetic… 🥀
