Pfizer Board Member Pressured Twitter to Censor Posts on Natural Immunity, Low COVID Risk to Children: Emails

Giroir had written that it was clear natural immunity, or post-infection immunity, “is superior to vaccine immunity, by ALOT.” He said there was no scientific justification to require proof of COVID-19 vaccination if a person had natural immunity. Giroir pointed to what was at the time a preprint study from Israeli researchers that found, after analyzing health records, that natural immunity provided better protection than vaccination. Gottlieb, Twitter, and Giroir, now the CEO of Altesa BioSciences, did not respond to requests for comment. Four days later, and a day after Gottlieb met with Twitter workers, Twitter banned Berenson for allegedly violating its rules on COVID-19 misinformation. Berenson was reinstated to Twitter in 2022 as part of a settlement of a lawsuit he brought against the company.

But after he read “Zhuan Falun,” the main text of Falun Gong, “it automatically shifted how I was thinking,” he said.

Biden Says No F-16s for Ukraine as Russia Claims Gains

(Ints Kalnins/Reuters)KYIV, Ukraine/WASHINGTON—The United States will not provide the F-16 fighter jets that Ukraine has sought in its fight against Russia, President Joe Biden said on Monday, as Russian forces claimed a series of incremental gains in the country’s east. Mykola Salamakha, a Ukrainian colonel and military analyst, told Ukrainian Radio NV that Moscow’s assault in Vuhledar was coming at huge cost. Zelenskyy is urging the West to hasten delivery of its promised weapons so Ukraine can go on the offensive. The city, where Russia’s advance in the south was halted, had been under relentless bombardment until Ukraine pushed the front line back in November. Russia invaded Ukraine on Feb. 24 last year, claiming it was necessary to protect itself from its neighbor’s ties with the West.
