Ivy League epidemiologist takes on Twitter for censorship, university for hiding vaccine injury

An Ivy League epidemiologist may be taking over Alex Berenson's legal fight after Twitter reinstated the contrarian journalist and belatedly acknowledged his tweets questioning the effectiveness of COVID-19 vaccines didn't violate its "misinformation" policies.
Andrew Bostom, a veteran professor in Brown University's medical school until last year, told Just the News he has retained Berenson's lawyer for potential litigation against the social media company for permanently suspending his account after he shared peer-reviewed research on the vaccines' effect on male fertility.
Bostom is also taking on Brown for allegedly hiding a 20-year-old male student's hospitalization for heart inflammation in March 2021, a month before Brown announced a COVID vaccine mandate for students. As a hospital volunteer, the student received the first dose of the mRNA vaccine a month earlier.
No College Mandates, which has sent legal warning letters to dozens of college presidents, told Just the News it plans to notify the top leadership at other Ivy League schools about the myopericarditis case identified by Bostom.
The incident happened a year before Ashish Jha took leave as Brown's dean of public health to serve as the White House COVID coordinator. Jha recently claimed "there have not been any serious side effects of these vaccines."
Public officials and Big Tech have been eager to stamp out any questioning of COVID vaccines, even while acknowledging their effectiveness plummets within months and certain demographics face higher risks of side effects, particularly young men.
Twitter throttled a tweet by a group of U.K. National Health Service staff about a mother of three who died 22 days after receiving the AstraZeneca vaccine, which is commonly administered in the U.K. The 47-year-old developed blood clots to the brain, the Leicester Mercury reported.
The June 25 tweet remains labeled "misleading" or "stay informed," meaning it can't be retweeted, liked or commented on, nearly three weeks later. Twitter lets users quote-tweet the post but first points them to a page of pro-vaccine tweets from the CDC, World Health Organization and others.
It does not appear to be throttling other tweets sharing the Mercury article, however. Twitter media relations did not respond to Just the News queries about the inconsistent throttling and Bostom's legal threat.
The Citizens for Legitimate Government email newsletter, founded by retired New York University professor Michael Rectenwald, told subscribers Saturday that its web host refused to help it address throttling by Yahoo email subdomains suspected to be ideologically motivated.
A screenshot shows MayFirst characterized as "misinformation" a report in the newsletter about an Uruguay judge ordering Pfizer to disclose the composition of its COVID vaccine. The host also refused to help CLG deliver newsletters that include "information hosted on pro-trump web sites."
Quebec's Laval University suspended biochemist Patrick Provost last month without pay for eight weeks for his risk-benefit calculation of COVID vaccination for children at a conference last year, according to local newspaper The Suburban. The faculty union filed a grievance on his behalf.
