·48 min·3 clips

Meta said only 0.05% of vaccine-linked content pointed to Sayer Ji’s accounts.

1. The Sonia Elijah Podcast episode centers on Sayer Ji’s account of the “Disinformation Dozen” label and the fight over vaccine-related speech. 2. Sonia Elijah interviews Sayer Ji, founder of GreenMedInfo, and he speaks as a person who says his accounts, website, and public reputation were targeted. 3. The episode asks what the CCDH report was meant to do, and Sayer Ji answers that it misrepresented dissent as a tiny fringe. 4. Sayer Ji says Meta’s Monique Bickert noted that only 0.05% of vaccine-linked content pointed to his accounts. 5. He says the CCDH numbers were wrong, and he describes the report as a “faulty narrative without evidence.” 6. He says the label exaggerated his reach by about 1,300-fold and became an international headline. 7. Sayer Ji says President Biden, the Surgeon General, and the press secretary framed him and others as people who were “killing people.” 8. He says the narrative around the mRNA rollout turned dissent, questions of safety, and informed consent into something treated as dangerous. 9. He says GreenMedInfo grew out of his own childhood illness, surgeries, drugs, and later interest in natural health approaches. 10. He says he worked at the health food store chain For Goodness Sake in Southwest Florida before building GreenMedInfo in 2007. 11. He says Florida treated natural-medicine advice harshly, even describing the sharing of a peer-reviewed study as a possible felony in that state. 12. He says the site grew from his garage research into a database of about 100,000 studies across 10,000 topics. 13. He says UNICEF’s 2013 article on anti-vaccine sentiment in Eastern Europe made him realize his work was already being singled out. 14. He says his Google Analytics logs showed c.mil addresses and IMIL traffic, which he read as U.S. military attention. 15. He says he and Kelly Brogan were warned in 2019 by Celia Farber that they would be targeted for their views. 16. He says the later campaign against him used black operations, reputational harm, and coordinated deplatforming across Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest, and Linktree. 17. The interview style is direct and confrontational, with Sonia Elijah asking follow-up questions and Sayer Ji answering at length. 18. The tone is serious, combative, and focused on institutional power, not personal reflection. 19. Listeners interested in censorship, vaccine policy, and online speech controls. 20. Skippable for people avoiding long, highly charged policy disputes.

As heard by us

A sharp look at how dissent gets counted, labeled, and amplified.

The episode stays close to the mechanics of the Disinformation Dozen label and the claim that the 2021 Center for Countering Digital Hate report overstated the size of dissent around experimental mRNA technologies.
