Like a Tweet, Lose Your Job ⋆ Brownstone Institute

The president of Thomas Jefferson University may lose his job for liking tweets from Alex Berenson on his personal account. The episode marks a warning against those in mainstream institutions that any deviation from prevailing orthodoxy – no matter how minor – will not be tolerated.

Mark Tykocinski, a Yale trained molecular immunologist, became president of the university in 2022. Last week, a reporter from The Philadelphia Inquirer went through his personal Twitter account which had under 300 followers.
The Inquirer reported that Dr. Tykocinski had liked tweets from Berenson that criticized transgender surgeries for children and the efficacy of mRNA Covd vaccines.
This constituted a media and academic scandal. The reporter demanded an explanation, and Tykocinski’s colleagues rebuked his transgression. Thomas Jefferson University CEO Joseph G. Cacchione wrote to faculty, employees, and students that Tykocinski “should have known better” than to like those tweets.
Even self-professed defenders of free speech joined the chorus of reprimands. Jonathan Zimmerman is a professor at the Pennsylvania Graduate School of Education and the author of Free Speech: And Why You Should Give a Damn. In 2021, he defended Georgetown Law adjunct professor Sandra Sellers after she was fired for noticing that black students underperformed in her class.
Now, Zimmerman has discovered his own carve-out – wrongthink related to Covid and juvenile transgender procedures.
“I have sworn upon the altar of god eternal hostility against every form of tyranny over the mind of man,” then-Vice President Thomas Jefferson wrote in 1800. Now, the university that bears his name has declared hostility against its president for social media wrongthink.
But the attack is not directed at Dr. Tykocinski. It is a warning against anyone in institutions that they must conform to prevailing orthodoxy or risk their professional reputations. They must keep their big mouths shut, in the words of Professor Zimmerman. In this system, career advancement relies on obedience rather than ingenuity. It is no wonder that our ruling class is so banal.
By silencing critics, the powerful aim to achieve authority without accountability. Submission is central to their quest for power, and threatening the livelihoods of freethinkers is a powerful ploy.
Berenson’s reporting and support from public figures like Jay Bhattacharya and Elon Musk may save Dr. Tyconski’s job for now; but going forward, he’ll know the price that he will bear if he deviates from groupthink. He didn’t have to say anything to learn this reality. He didn’t make a post or deliver a speech. All it took was liking a tweet from a journalist.
Free speech is more than a slogan. It must be an operational reality for everyone. It can be closed down by forces other than edicts from government. It can be suppressed also by arbitrary private actions that reflect regime priorities. Ever more workers and especially intellectuals today work in an environment of fear that leads to self-censorship.
There are many ways to skin a cat and many paths toward despotism. Canceling the capacity of competent professionals to dissent against the state-subsidized orthodoxy is one.
PS. Yeah , trust the faulty science and go along with group thinks! That what leftie like you do… then put a label on people like calling them science deniers to shut them up when they question the data or science!
Why "racist"??Trudeau wants hard drugs legalized. If you disagree you're racist.
Oh, I see what you did there, smarty-boy. You got a carefully edited 4 or 5 seconds of videotape to "support" your claim.

1. Any number of studies could be incorrect. More commonly the studies may be correct but are misinterpreted by laymen.Published in the journal Heliyon, comprises a review of 43 previously published studies on exposure to CO2, mask-wearing, and pregnancy.

So you saying 43 previously published studies on exposure to CO2, mask-wearing, and pregnancy Is wrong! Unless you think all 43 previously published studies is incorrect you are all walking around with brain damage you should probably reconsider your position.
1) You guessing! 2) It a peer review journal, if studies is incorrect then studies will be forced to withdraws or retract paper/ studies!1. Any number of studies could be incorrect. More commonly the studies may be correct but are misinterpreted by laymen.
2. Heliyon is not a high impact journal.
3. Science advances through expert interpretation of data, and attempts at replicating the results. Watching a layman interpreting data is like a weekend warrior beergut dad trying to tell everyone he knows better than the NFL coaches.
