Senator Elizabeth Warren is standing up for common people by asking Amazon CEO Andy Jassy to explain why the company’s algorithms recommend Covid misinformation
Quote:Warren says searches for “Covid-19,” “Covid,” “vaccine,” “Covid-19 vaccine” and “pandemic” turned up products that promote false information about coronavirus vaccines and cures, many of which appeared at the top of search results.
For example, a book by Ronnie Cummins and Dr. Joseph Mercola, the latter of whom is considered an influential spreader of vaccine and coronavirus misinformation online, called “The Truth About Covid-19” was the top search result for “Covid-19″ and “vaccine,” according to the letter. It was also labeled a bestseller in Amazon’s “Political Freedom” books category.
Searches for “COVID 19 vaccine” produced other literature promoting discredited Covid cures or vaccine misinformation, including that Covid-19 vaccines are “making people sick and killing them,” the letter states. CNBC was able to replicate several examples mentioned in Warren’s letter.

teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"
