Twitter algorithm hates covid vaccine myocarditis combo

Just got insta- suspended: the offending tweet: covid vaccines=/=myocarditis.

Too bad, I was looking forward to getting more results from this poll:

That being said, if this early sample is anything to go by, it appears that my correspondents probably aren’t in need of any further information regarding covid vaccine safety. Thus, saying goodbye to Twitter at this point is perhaps fitting. It is fun but very time-consuming.

I have to wonder what is accomplished by censoring me on Twitter. From the results of my reader poll, one can reasonably infer that my readers are not predisposed to receiving covid vaccines, given that 65% report not having been vaccinated, and 2% having been boosted. From a “control the narrative” perspective, I would argue that the ship has sailed quite a long time ago within the Twitter microcosm that I am able to reach.

And my follower count has been stagnant for months now, more than one reader having told me that they never see my tweets - although I “feed the meter” on a daily basis when not locked/suspended.

I must presume that whoever programs algorithms at Twitter has decided that “myocarditis secondary to vaccine” has to be muffled on Twitter.

To the best of my knowledge, =/= is the symbol for “not equal to.”

It is really tedious trying to please Twitter.

The thread of experiments began with what seemed like a reasonably neutral tweet, regarding the likelihood of more myocarditis ahead, whether from covid, covid vaccines, or both. This was flagged within one minute of publication, indicating likelihood of algorithm versus human intervention.

I then experimented with the exact same tweet, only instead of using the words “covid vaccine” I substituted the word “other.” From the context, its meaning would be obvious. No flag on this tweet.

The hypothesis was then that the term “covid vaccine” and “myocarditis” placed together in a tweet would generate a flag. Twitter did not disappoint, and not only flagged but suspended my account.
