I posted the same thing here a couple of days ago. And it's directly from the CDC.
There has already been many that have been censored for posting about this on Twitter, including a tweet shared by Trump.
And now another. And another. They determine what is ok enough to report.

Facebook Censors US Rep. Roger Marshall for COVID-19 Post
Congressman Roger Marshall M.D. (R-KS), a licensed physician, was censored for discussing CDC information about COVID-19.
“A Facebook post published on Sunday afternoon by U.S. Congressman Roger Marshall, M.D. discussing updated COVID-19 death data released by the CDC was removed Monday night by Facebook without notice or explanation,” KNSS reported September 1. Marshall explained later on Facebook that his earlier post had “discussed the new data published by the CDC showing that only 6% of deaths were due solely to COVID-19, while the remaining 94% of deaths had two or more underlying health conditions.”
His post had made a noteworthy impact before it was struck down. Marshall claimed that “Before being deleted by Facebook, the post had garnered nearly 80,000 views and was shared by thousands of followers.”
Marshall later declared that “Social media companies should not be allowed to censor science that they disagree with,” declaring such behavior to be nothing less than “corporate censorship, pure and simple.”
He further commented on how Big Tech has been deliberately silencing a much needed conversation at a time when fresh ideas and critical information needs to be heard:
“As a physician, I believe in discussing all data, options, and research with my patients. This was data published by the CDC, but unfortunately did not fit the narrative that the left and the liberal media want us to believe. We cannot allow social media companies to determine what we do and not learn about this virus. Americans deserve to be informed.”

Facebook Threatens to Unpublish Mark Dice’s Page for Rittenhouse Video
The United States holds that an individual charged for a crime is innocent until proven guilty. But Facebook, along with a handful of other tech companies, has decided that it is more capable of casting judgment than the U.S. court system.
A video that conservative YouTuber Mark Dice said shows alleged Kenosha shooter Kyle Rittenhouse responding to a wounded protester in an EMT’s capacity was removed from Facebook. Dice had posted the video but was warned by Facebook after the post’s removal that “Your page is at risk of being unpublished because of continued Community Standards violations.”
Facebook did not respond for comment. And the video would appear to be newsworthy, which might be exempt from the Community Standards.
Initially, Dice wrote in his Facebook caption: “Newly uncovered video of Kyle Rittenhouse shows him helping an injured protester after she was struck in the foot with a projectile. In another video he told the cameraman he brought a medical kit, which is the bag he was carrying. Further proving he had no malicious intent by showing up. In fact, he was there to help anyone who needed it.”
