‘Unsafe’: Twitter warns users about scientific study on vaccine efficacy

Twitter is now cautioning users about a peer-reviewed study on vaccine efficacy in children which shows that the Pfizer vaccine’s effectiveness drops by half in children 5-11 years 2-4 weeks after the second dose. The study also found that vaccine efficacy in children 12-15 years fell by nearly 72% by the second month. 

When some Twitter users tweeted out the link, they found that the platform had slapped a warning label on the tweet, claiming that it is “unsafe.” 

“WARNING: THiS LINK MAY BE UNSAFE,” the message read. “The link you are trying to access has been identified by Twitter or our partners as being potentially spammy or unsafe. In accordance with Twitter’s URL policy, this link could fall into any of the following categories: 

• Malicious links that could steal personal information or harm electronic devices 
• Spammy links that mislead people or disrupt their experience 
• Violent or misleading content that could lead to real-world harm 
• Certain categories of content that, if posted directly on Twitter, are a violation of the Twitter rules.” 

It comes as no surprise to many that Twitter censors challenges to the vaccine, though it remains concerning that the social media giant warns against science evidence. 

Last month, an undercover video released by Project Veritas showed a Twitter executive confirming that the platform “does not believe in free speech” and censors conservative voices. In a separate video, another Twitter executive said the company censors on behalf of users because they cannot think rationally.

America’s Frontline News reported Wednesday that Twitter is facing a significant legal attack by journalist Alex Berenson, whom Twitter booted from the platform after questioning the shot. 

“It doesn’t stop infection. Or transmission,” wrote Berenson. “Don’t think of it as a vaccine. Think of it – at best – as a therapeutic with a limited window of efficacy and terrible side effect profile that must be dosed IN ADVANCE OF ILLNESS. And we want to mandate it? Insanity.”
