Twitter blocked a post from Florida Surgeon General Joseph Ladapo that promoted an analysis that asserts there were a high number of cardiac-related deaths among men who took an mRNA COVID-19 vaccine. The website restored the post hours later.

“Our current misleading information policies cover: synthetic and manipulated media, COVID-19, and civic integrity,” Twitter wrote in its post that had blocked Ladapo’s post. “If we determine a Tweet contains misleading or disputed information per our policies that could lead to harm, we may add a label to the content to provide context and additional information.”
