Twitter temporarily removes Florida surgeon general's tweet about mRNA COVID-19 vaccines: Florida Surgeon General Joseph A. Ladapo tweeted about a new analysis on COVID-19 mRNA vaccines. The tweet said, "Today, we released an analysis on COVID-19 mRNA vaccines the public needs to be aware of. This analysis showed an increased risk of cardiac-related death among men 18-39. FL will not be silent on the truth." Twitter removed the tweet, according to screenshots taken by several users. The platform claimed the tweet "violated the Twitter rules." According to Politico, Twitter said, "Our current misleading information policies cover: synthetic and manipulated media, COVID-19, and civic integrity. If we determine a Tweet contains misleading or disputed information per our policies that could lead to harm, we may add a label to the content to provide context and additional information.” The platform restored the tweet later the same day. A Twitter spokesperson told MRC Free Speech America, "We took enforcement action on the Tweet you referenced in error, but the action was reversed."
