TRIBUNE – Since this morning, there is enough to cry with laughter.
The government spokesman, Olivier Véran, found time to write a book entitled Beyond the waves, published Thursday, September 8 by Robert Laffont editions. In this book, the former Minister of Health delivers his “crisis diary at the heart of power”. « From Defense and National Security Councils to meetings with the families of the victims, from Didier Raoult to the vaccination campaign, from antivax to hundreds of hours of parliamentary debate, Olivier Véran bears witness, with realism and humility, to his victories and of his doubts, his pride and his questioning “, specifies the presentation made by its publishing house.
The book is on sale on Amazon, but a few tweets tell us that the American distribution giant… is removing negative comments.

Ironically, the two positive comments that remained online refer to the deleted negative comments.
They are so stupid the 2 who put 5 stars that they talk about the large number of negative comments … which no longer appear with the complicity of@amazonfrance !
They therefore confirm that these comments do exist but are hidden!!!

An episode all the more laughable that Amazon itself recognizes that only buyers can leave comments, so the deleted negative comments were written by Amazon customers and deleted… a little later.
Indeed, as Amazon explains on its website, When an item has been purchased or used on Amazon (except where a deep discount has been applied) and the same buyer has left a review, we apply an “Amazon Verified Purchase” label. This allows customers to identify reviews written by other customers who have actually purchased, registered, or used the product or content on Amazon. »
With this case, there is reason to wonder about the seriousness and honesty of the company as well as their role as a relay for government propaganda.
This episode shows that Amazon, like the media mainstream, poses as a zealous promoter of a pro-system doxa. Let us remember in particular that LCI claimed that Russian propaganda had invented the demonstration of September 3 of the Patriots in Paris, whereas it had indeed taken place. It is indeed a system of misinformation that is being put in place at all levels, thereby prohibiting any democratic debate.
