The European Union has officially weaponized its censorship apparatus, leveraging the Digital Services Act (DSA) to stifle online dissent about vaccines while citing surging measles cases and fabricated crises. By framing vaccine skepticism as a threat to “democracy,” Brussels now grants itself emergency powers to censor critical voices, prioritizing propaganda over informed consent. As health officials blame public mistrust on “disinformation,” they ignore growing evidence of vaccine inefficacy, side effects, and clinical trial fraud—exposing the DSA as a tool to shield pharmaceutical interests rather than protect public health. Main points of the story: • The EU’s Digital Services Act (DSA) now enforces “crisis mechanisms” allowing unprecedented censorship of online dissent, branding vaccine skepticism as “misinformation.” • Low vaccination rates are blamed on public distrust caused by “disinformation,” masking systemic failures in vaccine efficacy and transparency. • A new law permits EU authorities to declare internet “emergencies,” silencing critics under vague terms like “public security threats.” • Big Tech companies are complying, risking collusion with authoritarian-style speech control.

The DSA’s double-edged sword: Suppressing truth to protect profits

The EU’s expansion of DSA rules mandates a sweeping crackdown on “vaccine misinformation,” despite mounting reports of vaccine-linked injuries and stagnant disease prevention. A European Commission spokesperson warned of “doubled” 2024 measles cases compared to 2023, yet data reveals little correlation between increased vaccination rates and reduced outbreaks. For instance, recent studies highlight that Brazil and the U.S., with high vaccine uptake, still faced scarlet fever and meningitis surges, undermining claims that “safe and efficient” vaccines alone prevent epidemics. EU officials dismiss legitimate concerns about side effects—such as myocarditis among young males—vaccines frequently cited by health professionals—as “myths” requiring censorship. The new crisis now permits Brussels to declare digital “emergencies,” ordering tech giants to delete posts questioning vaccine safety. Daphne Keller of Stanford’s Cyber Policy Center noted this law’s nebulous standards: “It looks like the war in Ukraine created a political opportunity for tighter restrictions. That’s politics, if bad law.” But critics argue it’s more than bad law—it’s a surrender to authoritarianism. By criminalizing dissent, the EU undercuts principles of liberty it once championed.

Hostile medicine: Coercion and control

The EU’s dual-track strategy pairs censorship with aggressive propaganda, such as the “United in Protection” campaign, which peddles “evidence-based” messaging defined solely by health authorities. These efforts tie vaccination to unrelated initiatives like cancer prevention plans, conflating consent with compliance. Health professionals are coerced into parroting EU lines, part of the Commission’s “Coalition for Vaccination.” Simultaneously, the European External Action Service monitors dissent, framing it as subversive to democracy. This parallels global trends where crises like Ukraine—and pandemic panic—are used to justify silencing critics, transforming free speech zones like social media into echo chambers for state narratives. The targeting of “vaccine misinformation” is a failed marketing tactic for vaccines and a failed PR campaign to cover up the problems with vaccines. By targeting “vaccine misinformation” global health bodies, Big Pharma front groups, and their investors have tried desperately to eradicate INFORMED CONSENT, targeting relevant information pertaining to vaccine side effects, vaccine dangers, and the lack of effectiveness and efficacy of vaccines, including clinical trial fraud and real-world harms that have resulted from mass vaccination campaigns. By initiating a campaign of false guilt, global health authorities have illegally coerced people to take vaccine products. If true vaccine misinformation was combated, then vaccines would be exposed as medical fraud and rejected by the vast majority of the population. Ironically, this is what is taking place: more people are: becoming injured by vaccines and becoming aware of the cause of their health issues. As more people become aware of vaccine fraud and poisoning, and false claims of efficacy, vaccines become rejected even more. Combating “vaccine misinformation” was a failed, disrespectful tactic that attacked the conscience of individuals, insulting their intelligence and doling out propaganda that is authoritarian and hostile.
