Former NYT Writer Sues Twitter Over Censorship

Alex Berenson, a journalist and skeptic of vaccines related to the COVID-19 pandemic, said Twitter violated his First Amendment rights. He is the author of “Unreported Truths about COVID-19 and Lockdowns.”

Berenson was suspended multiple times on Twitter because of his views on vaccines.

“For this tweet, which is completely accurate and does nothing but quote PFIZER’S OWN CLINICAL TRIAL DATA. Welcome to the Brave New World,” he said after he was suspended for tweeting the results of a Pfizer clinical test. “I probably have about one strike left after this. And it’s gonna go quick. If you care about free speech, protest to Twitter, not that it will matter. And please, please, please tell everyone to sign up here. I will do as much as I can on here.”

He was later permanently banned from Twitter after he tweeted that the COVID vaccine “doesn’t stop infection or transmission.” Berenson’s lawyers alleged that his claim was “true at the time and is true now.”
