In the latest Twitter Files, Alex Berenson reveals that Pfizer board member and former FDA head Scott Gottlieb used his influence to pressure Twitter to flag a tweet that cast doubt on the efficacy of the COVID-19 vaccines. DailyMail.Com has more.
Documents leaked to controversial reporter Alex Berenson allege that Dr. Scott Gottlieb leaned on the social media company to obscure a relatively innocuous post that cast doubt about the Pfizer vaccine’s effectiveness and suggested natural immunity was more effective.
The tweet – made by a former Government health official – was subsequently slapped with a ‘Misleading’ label, despite the debate around immunity still dividing scientists to this day. …
Documents show that on August 27th 2021, Dr. Gottlieb emailed Todd O’Boyle, a top lobbyist in Twitter’s Washington office, after seeing a tweet disparaging the Covid vaccines.
The tweet was posted by Dr. Brett Giroir, another government health official under the Trump administration, and touted the superiority of natural immunity over vaccine-conferred immunity.
Dr. Gottlieb, who currently has a Twitter following of about 550,000, lobbied for the Tweet to be flagged as misinformation.
Dr. Gottlieb said in the email the language could prove ‘corrosive’ to the nationwide Covid vaccination campaign.
And even though Twitter could not prove outright that the tweet was a violation of its misinformation policy, it was slapped with a ‘Misleading’ label anyway.

I imagine the ‘stop press’ bit went out quickly, but it’s ALEX Berenson.
After sticking to his guns for over 2 years and getting a lot of flack, the guy deserves getting his name right
I follow his substack and twitter. On the corona/vaxx material he has shown some real cojones and determination.
Just read a tweet on his feed from someone at squawkbox claiming they always identified Gottlieb as a member of the Pfizer board. I don’t know if that’s true, don’t watch it, but I know that MSM most certaintly did not identify Gottlieb as such, they always and forever would introduce him as ‘former head of the FDA’. By coincidence I read somewhere that he was on the Pfizer board after about a year of hearing his covert vaxx shilling presented as public health advice. After that I noticed every time that he was simply identified as ‘former head of the FDA’. A scandalous, disgraceful failure of the MSM.
But considering a lot of members of the MSM and their families probably unquestioningly took the poison, I guess the worry they are now going through may be punishment enough.
Evil is working an overtime shift right now. They win because we are so complacent.

They can go choke on pain and stomach bile. I look forward to the day when “Pfizer” becomes a curse word, effectively the new F-word.
I see it used quite often to describe what has happened to a younger person who has died suddenly and unexpectedly.
The world is so screwy now that this is somehow news.
Of course Pfizer would lobby to suppress information that went against its products. It’s barmy to think a private company wouldn’t do that.
Pfizer and every pharma company and any company really should be treated with logical suspicion in the knowledge that they will lobby hard for themselves and their products.
What is nuts is the way governments, the WHO, the WEF and politicians in general treat Pfizer and the likes of them as some form of saviours of society or crusaders for public health.
They are a company seeking profits as they should be and nothing else and not long ago everyone was very aware of that and treated them accordingly.
Suppression of information about pharmaceutical products can be, has been, and is fatal. These companies should not be given the benefit of the doubt, they should be required to prove the safety and efficacy of their products.
Pfizer’s record of having fines levied on it is indicative of a serious problem.
The very things that were covered in Oliver Wright’s article for the Independent in 2014. And the Times muppets who now employ him should be ashamed if they are still forbidding him to write about this.
