Icy, we don't have freedom of speech in Australia.
We'd like to think we do, but we don't.
It's in the American Constitution, but not in ours.
Maybe so, but we thought we did, didn't we? We thought we had freedom to live our lives as we saw fit.
Isn't it the favourite ANZAC catchcry,that Australia's young men and women fought in both WW's so we could enjoy the freedom of life we enjoy today?
Those young men and women woud be turning in their graves to see how readily we surrender the freedom of lifestyle they fought for.
With freedom comes responsibility. Nobody has the right to spout any dangerous claim they want to, especially in time like this, when we face unprecedented situation. The men and women who fought in all the wars would be turning in their graves if they saw what a bunch of whinging spoiled brats we became. Having to isolate for our own good seems to be intolerable to many of us, and having the right to peddle unproven and even dangerous "snake oil" remedies to vulnerable population is NOT the freedom they fought for.
By the way, in time of disasters every country has the provision to implement martial law. That is pretty much what the Chinese did, and they are managing to keep the infection under control. America of course, hold their freedom to get a haircut and hamburger too dear to put up with restrictions, even if it means people will die.

Hi kazumi, first of all I agree in part. That rule should also apply to racists but sadly many are given a platform by the media. Look at the sick and evil thing that happened in NZ not so llong ago. Anyway, assuming the official version of things is usually right then with speech does come responsibility. So we're on the same page there.
Right ..... OK, as this thread is about the magazine, I'll keep muy reply to that. I bought a copy of the magazine yesterday and it bewilders me as to why it was removed from the shelf. Well actually it doesn't when I think about the motives that may have been behind it.
Anyway, if I get time this evening I'll have a better look at the mag. This is my first time reading it and it looks interesting.
Now you say .... "Nobody has the right to spout any dangerous claim they want to, especially in time like this". Yeah, I can appreciate where you're coming from. 
And you say .... "Having to isolate for our own good seems to be intolerable to many of us, and having the right to peddle unproven and even dangerous "snake oil" remedies to vulnerable population is NOT the freedom they fought for. "
And again, I appreciate where you're coming from.
But reading as much of the magazine as I have, I can say that I haven't seen anything there that would either apply to what you're saying or goes against what you're saying. If anything, this particular issue is of benefit in a time like this. Most people know (But sadly many doctors are not experts on this) that good nutrition and healthy living as well as certain plants will boost one's immunity which enables them to fight disease. Pharmaceutiicals mostly just treat the symptoms. Good healthy living and nutrition is the best thing to strengthen us.
So, as I said, there's nothing that I've come across in the mag that looks dangerous. Yeah, one article could he a hinderance to those who are rolling out 5G. Other content could be a hinderannce to the profits and shareholders of Big Pharma. Healthy folk don't make them much money.
I'd say that pulling the magazine off the shelf has the potential to way more harm than any good. There's some real vital info in there about making us more healthy. And good nutrition = good health which is vital in a time like this.
