Former New York Times reporter Alex Berenson said Thursday that Pfizer board member Scott Gottlieb, the former head of the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), got him banned from Twitter.

Following a temporary ban in 2021, “When I came back on the platform last year, in August, I was asking even harder questions about the vaccines, at a time when the Biden administration knew they were going to be pushing for mandates and boosters, they still wouldn’t ban me,” Berenson said on Fox News’s “Tucker Carlson Tonight.”
