Ahh, it's vaccine stuff, that makes sense.

Most people believe it's no longer free speech if it's going to kill people - like, you know, the famous example of shouting "fire" in a crowded theater.

The problem is when you've got millions of people who think that publishing the book is going to kill people, and you've got millions of people who think that not publishing the book is going to kill people.

Is that the job of the White house, though?
