Alarmist and misleading headline. The story actually states:
"both Presidents Donald Trump and Joe Biden had pressured Twitter to censor and suppress information on Covid, Covid vaccines, and the public reactions to the pandemic, that went against their interests."

SFC Bernard Walko - The lockdowns started under Trump. He only started trying to lift them when the economy started to take a nosedive and he became worried about his re-election. He also said the virus was a hoax, and that it would magically disappear when the weather warmed up. He also fast-tracked the vaccines (and even took them himself), before trying to undermine the vaccine efforts. His hands are far from clean on the pandemic.

Feb. 28th, 2020: “It’s going to disappear. One day, it’s like a miracle, it will disappear.”

March 10th, 2020: “And we’re prepared, and we’re doing a great job with it. And it will go away. Just stay calm. It will go away.”

"sensible doctors and scientists should have debated this point back and forth." They were debating this, and their strong consensus was to take the virus seriously, to include all of the protective measures like wearing masks, minimizing contact with others, etc. Sure, a minority of people had some dissenting opinions, and their voices were greatly amplified by right-wing media. That didn't mean that a legitimate debate was still ongoing within the scientific community. The problem was that some politicians and their supportive media voices saw the pandemic as undermining their political agenda. That's when they started propping up the small number of dissenting voices and creating the illusion that no consensus existed within the fields of medicine and public health. I work in this field and am supporting by tons of people who live and breath this stuff as the primary component of their professional lives. Trust me, there was no ongoing debate about protective measures needing to be taken (initially with the masks and the shutdowns, and then with the vaccinations). You can call it bias if you want, but that doesn't make it bias. People being fully informed about a topic doesn't make them biased. It simply makes them informed.

SFC Bernard Walko - "What small debate there was wasn’t meaningful and everyone knows it." = your opinion, stated as if it were fact.
"You criticize President Trump for trying to give hope" = inaccurate depiction of what I said. I never said that Trump was trying to give anyone hope. He definitely wasn't doing that.
