Biden’s administration covertly pressured Amazon to suppress books critical of vaccines during the pandemic, as revealed by the House Judiciary Committee. Over forty titles, including medical professionals’ works, were sidelined under government pressure, sparking accusations of censorship.
It has come to light that the Biden Administration exerted pressure on Amazon to conceal books that were critical of vaccines during the epidemic from being sold on its site.
The House Judiciary Committee and Subcommittee on the Weaponization of the Federal Government disclosed their findings in papers that revealed Amazon had lowered the exposure of books that the government considered to be unduly critical of big pharma executives.
According to the records, other books—many of which were authored by medical professionals—were just generally disparaging of vaccines. Some were even merely summaries of research findings from science.
Over forty titles were added to the “Do Not Promote” list that was created by the federal government.
Rep. Jim Jordan, the chair of the Judiciary Committee, described in a series of X tweets how internal emails from Amazon, which contain workers, disclosed that “the impetus for this request is criticism from the Biden Administration.”
They even attacked a kid’s book that they believed to be overly accepting of those who have not received vaccinations.
“Don’t let the Biden Admin tell you that their censorship campaign was about concerns of misinformation going viral on social media,” Jordan wrote.
He further urged “They were going after BOOKS too. Suppressing opposing viewpoints has always been the goal, not alleged difficulties with new technologies.
This tale is deeply ironic because the Biden administration has accused Republicans on multiple occasions of attempting to “ban” books across the country.
While opponents of sexually graphic publications for minors, such as Florida governor Ron DeSantis, were vocal in almost all of these cases, it turns out that the Biden Administration was aggressively trying to prohibit novels for adults.
Recently, GreatGameIndia reported that Scott Ritter, a renowned journalist and former UN weapons inspector, had his passport seized by US officials. This action has raised constitutional concerns and highlights the targeting of administration critics.
