Vaccines are not safe for everyone.
That’s as close to an indisputable statement as you can make. It doesn’t make you an “anti-vaxxer.” It doesn’t make you a conspiracy theorist. You aren’t peddling “misinformation.” You’re stating a very obvious fact.
Adverse reactions are rare, sure. For most people, getting inoculated is not risky — far from it. However, that first sentence is a statement of fact: “
Vaccines are not safe for everyone.”
Yet that statement got a conservative journalist locked out of his Twitter account.
On Tuesday, Greg Piper of
Just the News — a conservative site founded by investigative reporter John Solomon — tweeted that sentence along with a link to a
report from The College Fix, a higher education news outlet.
The article dealt with a college student’s battle against Brigham Young University Hawaii, which refused to grant her a COVID-19 vaccine exemption even though she has a medical condition that could make it dangerous for her to receive the shot.
