Here are some doctors and scientists with "different" views - ie ideas and facts you are unlikely to hear about from mainstream media, and divisive vax versus anti-vax rhetoric.

A) Multidrug treatment using existing medicines early in the symptomatic phase of COVID-19 can dramatically reduce the risk of hospitalization and death [1][2][3]. Coming from front-line doctors actually treating COVID-19 patients, and highly educated and published researchers, this is the most cited literature on the topic that does not concern vaccines.

B) Naturally infected individuals who have recovered acquire robust and durable immunity, and are unlikely to benefit from subsequent vaccination [4][5][6][7].

C) Mandatory nonpharmaceutical interventions such as masks and quarantine may lead to particularly devastating seasons of endemic illnesses such as influenza and RSV [8]. This may further strain medical and healthcare facilities and affect our ability to mitigate the pandemic.

D) Compulsory mass vaccination - combined with vaccines that do not necessarily prevent infection and transmission - may cause selective pressure that further enhances the fitness of the virus [9][10][11][12][13][14][15]. This can lead to partial or complete immune escape which manifests as increased transmission or virulence, reduced vaccine efficacy, and reduced protection in individuals with naturally acquired immunity.

Many of those papers are in big name journals and many non-scientists are discussing them, I'm not sure how you think this is evidence of censorship?

My comment is in the spirit of fostering vigorous scientific debate in the context of "legitimate disagreements about Covid-19" as discussed in the OP. I did not make any claims about censorship or intend to insinuate such.
