Oddly enough, that query now returns results.

My brother just reported the same thing. Wonder if this was some weird bug (but in what? Censorship code shouldn't exist in the first place.) or a mistake.
What I am concerned about is that DuckDuckGo appears to be censoring results when paired with any particular activity. Searching "risk covid booster running" or "risk covid booster baseball" are blocked, but "risk covid booster cloud" returns results like normal.
I appreciate their ostensible valuation of privacy, but if this comes hand in hand with overt censorship it may be time to move on to something new. Any suggestions?
