Big Pharma companies, which reaped billions of dollars in COVID vaccine sales, allegedly pressured Twitter to censor activists who pushed for the sharing of knowledge needed to make generic vaccines, according to the latest addition to the “Twitter Files.”

In 2020, there was an “international push” to force the drug industry to make its COVID vaccine recipes publicly accessible so that low-income countries could make generic, low-cost vaccines on their own, independent journalist Lee Fang explained in a Twitter thread.
