Rep. Nancy Mace claimed the COVID-19 vaccines have damaged her and slammed former big tech chiefs for censoring medical experts during a House Oversight and Accountability hearing featuring former Twitter executives on Wednesday,
Speaking to Twitter’s former chief legal officer Vijaya Gadde, former deputy general counsel James Baker, and former Trust and Safety head Yoel Roth – all fired by Elon Musk – Mace outlined several medical complications that arose following her second dose of the COVID-19 vaccine.
“I, along with many Americans, have long-term effects from COVID,” said the South Carolina Republican. “Not only was I a long hauler, but I have effects from the vaccine. It wasn’t the first shot, but it was the second shot that I now developed asthma that has never gone away since the second shot. I have tremors in my left hand and I have the occasional heart pain that no doctor can explain.”
“I have great regrets about getting the shot because of the health issues that I now have that I think are never going to go away,” Mace added.
Mace slammed the former Twitter executives for censoring accredited ivy-league educated medical experts like Stanford’s Jay Bhattacharya, who was banned for criticizing the U.S. government’s pandemic response.
“I find it extremely alarming [that] Twitter’s unfettered censorship spread into medical fields and affected many Americans by suppressing expert opinions from doctors and censoring those who disagree with the CDC,” Mace said.
When Mace asked Gadde if she was a medical expert, of which she denied being, the former big tech censorship czar claimed that the company was censoring doctors in the name of saving lives.
“Our policies regarding COVID were designed to protect individuals,” Gadde said before being interrupted by a visibly frustrated Mace, who exclaimed, “you guys censored Harvard educated doctors, Stanford educated doctors.”
“Doctors that are educated in the best places in the world, and you silenced those voices,” the Republican lawmaker said.
