2022-03-19 Amici for Freedom and the Fate of Free Speech What will be the fate of free speech in the United States? The answer is coming soon from the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit in Netchoice v. Paxton. Last year, Texas protected free speech from Big Tech censorship by passing a statute finding that the largest social media platforms are “common carriers” and barring them from discriminating against speech on grounds of viewpoint.
Rather than comply with the Texas law, the social media platforms secured a preliminary injunction against its enforcement. A district court judge granted the injunction, saying the anti-discrimination regulation violated the social media platform’s First Amendment rights. It is no surprise that Texas is appealing the injunction, taking the question up the ladder to judges who will give it more serious attention. We depend on dissent to hold ourselves accountable. The freedom to tell the truth — even more fundamentally, the freedom to speak even if it turns out to be in error — is the foundation of modern society. It is the crucible of our science, literature and politics. It is part of the give and take of life itself. So it is worth fighting for. https://www.newsweek.com/amici-freedom-fate-free-speech-opinion-1689168

2022-03-18 Fauci Warns Americans Could Face More Lockdowns Amid Spread of New COVID Variant Dr. Anthony Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, warned Americans this week that they could soon face additional COVID-19 lockdown measures should a new strain of the virus cause case numbers to increase. Fauci, who also serves as an adviser to President Biden, said the BA.2 subvariant could soon increase the rate of infections in America. He suggested that Americans should “be able to pivot” back and forth between a more common way of life and the measures that were taken in an attempt to slow the spread of the virus at the height of the pandemic.
“We can’t just say, ‘We’re done. We’re going to move on.’ We’ve got to be able to be flexible because we’re dealing with a dynamic situation,” he added, noting the new variant to be less fatal than the Omicron variant. “The overall mortality is actually down. It’s a very interesting situation where the cases are going up, but it does not, at this point in time, appear to be any degree of severity.” During the segment on CNN, Fauci seemingly dismissed concern over the crippling economic burdens associated with lockdown measures or other precautions. https://www.foxnews.com/politics/fauci-warns-americans-could-face-more-lockdowns-amid-spread-of-new-covid-19-variant
2022-03-18 Moderna, Pfizer Push For 4th Doses Despite Only Minor Benefits in Study Both Pfizer and Moderna are asking the U.S. Food and Drug Administration to allow adults to receive a second COVID-19 booster, as a study downplaying its effectiveness is released. On Thursday, Moderna announced it has submitted a request to the FDA to allow for an amendment to the emergency use authorization, so those aged 18 and over can receive a fourth shot. The move follows on from Pfizer and BioNTech, who sought a similar emergency authorization for a second booster shot of their vaccine for adults aged 65 and older. The requests arrive as a study conducted at the Sheba Medical Centre in Tel Aviv, Israel, found that Israeli healthcare workers who received a fourth shot at the height of the spread of the Omicron variant only received marginally more protection than those who received just three. https://www.newsweek.com/booster-shot-vaccine-covid-omicron-pfizer-moderna-1689406
