Summary

In 2021, Alex Berenson was suspended by Twitter for "misinformation." So he sued the platform to restore his account... and WON. He returns to Ask Dr. Drew LIVE with Dr. Kelly Victory to discuss censorship, COVID-19, Monkeypox & Big Tech's attempts to ban debates about controversial topics. MEDICAL NOTE: The CDC states that COVID-19 vaccines are safe, effective, and reduce your risk of severe illness. Hundreds of millions of people have received a COVID-19 vaccine, and serious adverse reactions are rare. You should always consult your personal physician before making any decisions about your health.  Alex Berenson covered the drug industry as a reporter for the New York Times. He is an Edgar Award–winning writer of bestselling thrillers, and a freelance journalist. His newest title "Pandemia: How Coronavirus Hysteria Took Over Our Government, Rights, and Lives” is his own investigation into the pandemic. In it, he asserts that our response to it “has been an epic overreaction driven by a disastrous confluence of public and private interests – all of them purporting to ‘follow the science.’” Follow him at https://alexberenson.com Dr. Kelly Victory MD is a board-certified trauma and emergency specialist with over 15 years of clinical experience. She served as CMO for Whole Health Management, delivering on-site healthcare services for Fortune 500 companies. She holds a BS from Duke University and her MD from the University of North Carolina.
