Twitter Pressured by Pfizer to Suppress Tweets #TwitterFiles

Twitter was asked to censor tweets by Pfizer that questioned its efficacy.

Meet former FDA Commissioner Scott Gottlieb. He is now a board member of Pfizer. He’s been busy getting tweets that challenge the ‘safe and effective’ narrative censored and removed. This is a recap of (part 1?) of the #FauciFiles.

On August 27, 2021, former FDA Commissioner and current Pfizer Board Member Dr. Scott Gottlieb, emailed Twitter regarding a tweet sent out by Dr. Brett Giroir, which claimed that natural immunity was superior to vaccine immunity and there’s no scientific justification for the vaccine.

In Gottlieb’s email to Twitter, he called the tweet “corrosive” and worried the tweet would end up going “viral and driving news coverage.”

Dr. Girori is the Former Assistant Secretary for Health, Acting FDA Commissioner, WHO Board Member, and Admiral in the US Public Health Service. He also worked at DARPA and currently is the CEO of Altesa BioSciences which specializes in developing treatments for respiratory viruses and global viral threats.

Here is the tweet. It is labeled as “misleading” and cannot be replied to, shared or liked. This tweet was never misleading or factually inaccurate.

Brett Giroir @DrGiroir

It's now clear #COVID19 natural immunity is superior to #vaccine immunity, by ALOT. There's no science justification for #vax proof if a person had prior infection. @CDCDirector @POTUS must follow the science. If no previous infection? Get vaccinated!

bit.lyComparing SARS-CoV-2 natural immunity to vaccine-induced immunity: reinfections versus breakthrough infectionsBackground Reports of waning vaccine-induced immunity against COVID-19 have begun to surface. With that, the comparable long-term protection conferred by previous infection with SARS-CoV-2 remains unclear. Methods We conducted a retrospective observational study comparing three groups: (1)SARS-CoV-…

Gottlieb’s email was forwarded from Todd O’Boyle, Twitter’s Manager of Public Policy at Twitter, to Twitter’s Strategic Response team. This team handles the company’s most important employees and users.

O’Boyle wrote to the team “Please see this report from the former FDA commissioner,” not mentioning Gottieb was a current Pfizer board member, the ones who make billions on the mRNA vaccines.

An analyst found that the tweet didn’t violate Twitter’s rules on false and misleading information but still slapped a “misleading” flag on it.

A week later Gottlieb was back at it, ferociously emailing O’Boyle about more tweets. This time it was Justin Hart, a fellow Substacker and COVID vaccine dissenter. His tweet (correctly) pointed out that children essentially have zero risk of dying from COVID-19. Why report this tweet? It’s easier to sell experimental mRNA if parents are terrified that their children will die.

Here is the Tweet Gottlieb reported:

Justin Hart @justin_hart

Sticks and stones may break my bones but a viral pathogen with a child mortality rate of ~0% has cost our children nearly three years of schooling. 😡

Once again O’Boyle forwarded Gottlieb’s email to the Strategic Response Team, again only referencing him as the former FDA commissioner. Twitter took no action.

Gottlieb responded on Twitter blocking all replies. It’s quite long. He complained to Twitter about being doxed and feared for his safety. He actually doxed himself in his own tweets for exposing his personal email (tweet 5,6&7). Around the same time, Gottlieb also went on CNBC’s "Squawk Box," saying "I'm unconcerned about debate being made. I’m concerned about physical threats being made for people's safety."

🧵In the past, I've raised concerns with Twitter related to the safety of me and others, and threats being made on the platform. This included direct as well as specific threats. Sometimes it included statements that I believed were purposely false and inflammatory 👇

Scott Gottlieb, MD @ScottGottliebMD

The selective disclosure of my private communications with Twitter stokes the threat environment. So does actions that empower people who’ve shown little restraint when it comes to purposeful vitriol. It instigates more menacing dialogue, with potentially serious consequences 👇

Dr. Brett Giroir also responded by saying Gottlieb’s behavior speaks for itself. He “put corporate interests first -- not public health.” Calling for an “open, honest, uncensored debate.”

Brett Giroir @DrGiroir

@ScottGottliebMD's behavior speaks for itself. A former @FDA commissioner (now @pfizer board member) schemed with a lobbyist & @Twitter to apparently put corporate interests first -- not public health. If anything, we need more open, honest, uncensored debate – not less.

Alex Berenson @AlexBerenson

2/ In August 2021, Gottlieb told Todd O'Boyle - a senior manager in Twitter's public policy department - that a tweet from @drgiroir claiming CORRECTLY that natural immunity was superior to vaccine immunity was "corrosive" and might "go viral."

Last but not least Elon Musk, Owner and CEO of Twitter, chimed in saying “Some conspiracies are actually true.” This tweet has since been deleted.

No doubt Dr. Scott Gottlieb wasn’t the only one trying to suppress tweets. Todd O’Boyle is also a Washington lobbyist and was the White House’s point of contact for Twitter.

This is just the first part of the new batch of Twitter files specifically regarding COVID-19 and the pandemic. We are told to expect a release regarding Dr. Fauci.

How ironic that this is published today? bit.ly/3X01iMJ Honest debate on controversial science is not the same as "misinformation." And why do they not mention that @ScottGottliebMD now works for @pfizer when he proposes new freedoms for #BigPharma? @AlexBerenson

Tarah Price @tarahtalk

Saying this breaks my heart, but the more we learn from the Twitter Files, the more obvious it becomes that we are no better than North Korea in terms of propaganda and censorship. Our govt is the bad guy in this story. All bureaucracies need to disappear.

Keep track of the Twitter Files concerning COVID it is about to get spicy

Ian Miller @ianmSC

Scott Gottlieb pressured Twitter to take down tweets critical of a product that he was selling, and instead of owning up to it, is trying to obfuscate & misdirect It’s incredible that he was presented as an unbiased, trustworthy source of information during countless interviews https://t.co/Vyq7xqamaK

4/ In 1996, Pfizer gave an experimental drug to 200 Nigerian children without informing their parents that an approved cure existed or that their children were subjects of a medical experiment. Eleven children died. Others suffered brain damage, organ failure, or paralysis.

1/ My first #TwitterFiles report: how @ScottGottliebMD - a top Pfizer board member - used the same Twitter lobbyist as the White House to suppress debate on Covid vaccines, INCLUDING FROM A FELLOW HEAD OF @US_FDA! Thanks @elonmusk for opening these files.
