White House Pressured Amazon to Limit Anti-Vaccine Book Visibility

In 2021, the Biden administration sought to suppress the distribution of books on Amazon that were critical of COVID-19 vaccines, citing public health concerns.

  • Emails obtained by Rep. Jim Jordan show White House officials urging Amazon to curb the distribution of anti-vaccine books.
  • The White House's actions are compared to unconstitutional pandemic-related interactions with social media platforms.
  • Amazon responded to the pressure by making certain books harder to find and considering a broader misinformation policy.
  • The Supreme Court is set to consider a related First Amendment case, highlighting the legal implications of such government interventions.
  • Despite the pressure, a search reveals that anti-vaccine books remain available on Amazon, with no CDC warnings on their pages.
