SHOT. . .
“270 doctors” signed a letter calling Joe Rogan a “menace to public health” and they want Spotify, the company that hosts his podcast, to censor him:
‘Menace to public health’: 270 doctors call out Spotify over Joe Rogan’s podcast https://t.co/DhXJ0OPl10

CHASER. . .
“270 doctors” did not sign the list:
The 270 signatories to a letter include multiple nurses, pharmacists, and even includes a veterinarian.
Saying "270 doctors" is simply not accurate. https://t.co/LoDhw2FAxV https://t.co/vb8X7M6O07 pic.twitter.com/midAhyfVP7

Jordan Schachtel has more on how the “vast majority of its signatories are not medical doctors”:
'270 doctors’ called out Joe Rogan, but the authors of the letter and the vast majority of its signatories are not medical doctors https://t.co/Xa5BLTguxk

Well, there *should* be a whole bunch of media corrections over this one:
Letter reads in part: “As physicians, we bear the arduous weight of a pandemic that has stretched our medical systems to its limits," & it calls for Spotify to censor Rogan.
Neither reported co author of the letter is a physician. So… the letter itself is misinformation.

Busted:
Paradoxically, the disseminators of this petition are guilty of the very misinformation label that they’ve attached to Rogan. The two reported co authors — Jessica Rivera and Ben Rein — don't possess MDs. Rivera holds a master’s degree & Rein is a PhD who researches psychiatry.

Or should we be listening to veterinarians?
The horse doctor who runs Pfizer is not on the list, but it does in fact include three veterinarians 😂https://t.co/zwMefyrXUl

And there are stealth edits going on as well:
Update: Cole Kraten, a cannabis farmer with a HS diploma, was on the original "medical experts" list. It seems they have ghost edited his removal from the list.

But even if the list was made up of 270 real doctors, why does the media care more about that than the over 60,000 health experts who signed the Great Barrington Declaration?
So if 270 health experts tell Spotify Joe Rogan is pushing misinfo we ought to take note. But if 61,000+ health experts sign the Great Barrington Declaration, stating grave concerns about current Covid policies it isn’t even a blip on the MSM radar. 🤔 Hmm. Yes.
