Controversial Georgia Republican House Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene got her knickers in a twist on Twitter today when she discovered that the social media platform (that’s been embroiled in a bit of controversy of its own here lately **cough** Elon Musk **cough**) had censored a “doctor” who sent out a tweet that peddled a right-wing narrative claiming that a majority of the pregnant women who took Pfizer’s vaccine against the COVID-19 virus during a clinical trial lost their babies as a direct result of the shot.
Greene was positively outraged that “Dr. Lyle P. Lysol MD” tweet propagating this claim was labeled by the platform as “misleading.”
“WHY is this tweet labeled misleading?” Greene fumed, tagging the official Twitter account.
“Pfizer should be investigated immediately,” she went on. “So should Twitter and any other social media app, media company, tech company, and anyone else who continues to manipulate/hide information about covid vaccines,” before ending her tweet with a call for Twitter to remove the label.
WHY is this tweet labeled misleading @Twitter?
Pfizer should be investigated immediately.
So should Twitter and any other social media app, media company, tech company, and anyone else who continues to manipulate/hide information about covid vaccines.

Say it ain’t so🙀😱🤯 You mean
Dr. Lyle P. Lysol MD isn’t a real doctor. I, for one, have been mislead. Thank you for the label twitter 😏— Vax+boost=life🌻💙 (@TracyBehr2) June 6, 2022
It’s labeled misleading because it isn’t true. For people who claim to hate being lied to, you sure don’t seem to have a problem with it.
