Six people who were harmed by COVID-19 injections are suing a slew of top Biden administration officials in the first lawsuit of its kind in the United States. In the complaint, filed on Monday, the plaintiffs allege the U.S. government colluded with social media companies to censor them when they posted factual information about their adverse reactions to the COVID vax, the Defender reported. The group says the government’s mass-censorship enterprise made it difficult for them to form support groups and find information about their injuries on social media.
Defendants include Joe Biden, along with other top-ranking White House officials, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS).
The New Civil Liberties Alliance (NCLA), a nonpartisan, nonprofit civil rights group, filed the lawsuit on behalf of Brianne Dressen, Shaun Barcavage, Kristi Dobbs, Nikki Holland, Suzanna Newell, and Ernest Ramirez. All suffered vaccine-related injuries except for Ramirez, whose 16-year-old son died from a cardiac arrest five days after receiving the Pfizer shot.
Newell, a former triathlete from St. Paul, Minnesota, was diagnosed with an autoimmune disease after receiving the mRNA injection and now has to rely on a walker or cane to get around.
Brianne Dressen, a preschool teacher from Saratoga Springs, Utah, suffered severe nerve damage after taking part in the AstraZeneca COVID-19 trial. Now Dressen is determined to be more than just “collateral damage of the pandemic.” On Monday, she tweeted: “I have never sued anyone in my life… might as well start with POTUS, US Surgeon General, CDC, etc.”
“What she said,” tweeted Newell. “I have never sued anyone before either. Having my uncomfortable truth censored has been isolating and shocking. I am thankful for the community I have found despite efforts to keep us apart. #TeamHumanity 💜 will win.”
Dressen co-chairs React19, a “science-based non-profit offering financial, physical, and emotional support for those suffering from long-term COVID-19 vaccine adverse events globally.”
After receiving the AstraZeneca shot, Dressen says she experienced chronic adverse effects, including “doubled and blurry vision, severe sensitivity to sound and light, heart and blood pressure fluctuations and intense brain fog that worsened over time.”
Dressen told the Defender that she now experiences “permanent disability” with “ups and downs.” She said when she tried to post about her injuries on Facebook, YouTube, TikTok, GoFundMe, Reddit and Instagram, her content was removed.
She noted that her experiences of censorship “pale in comparison to the thousands of Americans we know who all have experienced the same thing.”
“There is nothing scarier than reaching out for help only to be silenced,” Dressen said. “It was as scary as the vaccine reaction itself.”
“Our constitutional freedoms must be protected, regardless of whether or not we are in a national emergency,” she added. Dressen told CHD that she and the other plaintiffs are “not fighting this fight for a select few” but are fighting on behalf of the “tens of thousands who are experiencing the same kind of censorship.”
In October of 2021, Dressen, Newell, and Ramirez participated in Sen. Ron Johnson’s (R-Wis.) panel discussion with doctors and medical researchers who had treated COVID-19 vaccine injuries.
Dressen said during the panel discussion and in interviews that after being gaslit and abandoned by the U.S. government, many vaccine-injured victims were turning to suicide.
The complaint asserts that the plaintiffs experienced “heavy and ongoing censorship” on social media platforms — including Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, Twitter, TikTok and GoFundMe — when they attempted to share their personal experiences, exchange advice, medical research, and support with others who were medically harmed after getting COVID injections.
“For posting about their personal experiences and trying to connect with others in the vaccine-injured community, Plaintiffs’ speech has repeatedly been flagged as misinformation or removed entirely,” NCLA noted. “Their social media accounts are at constant risk of being frozen or disabled just for engaging with other users in private support groups open only to vaccine-injured individuals and sharing perspectives the government deems misinformation.”
According to the complaint: “This sprawling censorship enterprise has involved the efforts of myriad federal agencies and government actors (including within the White House itself) to direct, coerce, and, ultimately, work in concert with social media platforms to censor, muffle, and flag as ‘misinformation’ speech that conflicts with the government’s preferred narrative — including speech that the government explicitly acknowledges to be true.”
The attorneys general of Missouri and Louisiana filed a landmark lawsuit in May 2022 against multiple high-ranking Biden administration officials for allegedly colluding with social media giants to suppress free speech on under the pretense of combatting “misinformation.”
Former Missouri Attorney General Eric Schmitt, who is now a state senator, alleged that the Biden regime led “the largest speech censorship operation in recent history” by working with Big Tech to suppress and censor information later acknowledged to be truthful.
Since then, Matt Taibbi, Michael Shellenberger, and other independent journalists have corroborated these findings in their Twitter Files reports.
Children’s Health Defense (CHD) Chairman on Leave Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and CHD filed a class action lawsuit against Biden, Dr. Anthony Fauci and other administration officials and federal agencies last March, alleging they “waged a systematic, concerted campaign” to compel the three largest social media companies to censor constitutionally protected speech, including facts and opinions about the COVID-19 vaccines.
Kennedy himself was censored after Clarke Humphrey, the Digital Director for the COVID-19 Response Team at the White House, asked someone at Twitter to remove a tweet drawing attention “to a wave of suspicious deaths among the elderly” following the administration of COVID shots.
Commenting on the new lawsuit, Peggy Little, senior litigation counsel for NCLA, said in a statement:
“Americans injured by experimentally approved Covid vaccines are being deplatformed, silenced, suppressed, defamed and cancelled by their own government for reaching out to others simply to share and receive information critical to their physical and mental well-being.”
“Government actors have bullied, threatened and coerced social media companies to strip these plaintiffs of their First Amendment rights of association and speech. Suppression of speech critical of the government by the very government actors mandating the vaccine is frightening.
“NCLA’s lawsuit seeks to restore these plaintiffs’ civil liberties and the free flow of information guaranteed by the First Amendment for all Americans. We must never again lose our constitutional bearings in a pandemic.”
Will they get a leftist judge? If so then they are wasting their time.
It did NOT protect you from contracting Covid.
It did NOT impact your body's ability to transmit Covid.
It was NOT "safe" to take and had serious side effects.
I took 2 Moderna shots back when they said it would keep my family safe.
One shot was from a batch that VAERS said killed 11 people. The other shot was from a batch that VAERS said killed 15 people.
It’s about time. There are more coming.
The Pedo Administration will quietly settle the suits, never admitting guilt or wrong doing, paying out millions in tax payer funds...see even when “we” win, the government finds a way to screw “us.” Terrific system we have here.
This has been the reality of the entire "event" as the government did indeed "collude" with big tech, as with the WHO and beyond, to push mRNA injections which remain in phase three clinical trials, and without publishing the results of those trials. This has been a truly historic event, far overshadowing the SARS CoV-2 emergence itself.
the “justice” system is corrupt, so the odds of pulling a hard left POS operative is very likely
Since this is really Trump’s vaccine, they’ll probably haul him in on charges too.
G Larry :” The Shot was NOT a "Vaccine"!

(My Comment) : Recent evidence about the covid "vaxxine" is that the more 'jabs' that you got, the more likely you were to get the covid virus.
Furthermore, no one was informed that the "vaxxine" might change your natural immune system
Bring on the Nuremberg trials based on 'lack of informed consent '!!
Four of my friends remain unavailable for comment (being dead for many a month after getting the snake bite).
Who owns the courts? These people deserve justice but they won’t get any in this country.
Now there's some heavy propaganda for ya!
The promise of having an effective, safe vaccine was what PDJT was offered by Fauci, Birx, Big Pharma and the federal-supported doctor group. Trump had nothing to do with the polluted, criminalized "science" that actually went into it and has been reducing the world's population and their collective health.
This ain’t going anywhere so don’t stock up on popcorn.
And many more charges. Knowingly. And other atrocities connected with the scamedemic.
“Trump had nothing to do with the polluted, criminalized “science” that actually went into it and has been reducing the world’s population and their collective health.”
EXCEPT for the part where he was fooled? In my book, being fooled is the same as having something to do with it. The Vax was rolled out with perfect timing related to the transition of power. Me thinks the tyrants hoped that the T fans would take the vax as well as the libtards.
That’s BS.
Everyone could see contemporaneously that Big Pharma and the media were poised to figuratively crucify PDJT if he should even so much as repeat a medical thought that differed from the DS’s narrative, as if Fauci “[was] the science,” which he literally claimed.
Such further hubris was on display as PDJT ventured delicately with a comment saying that some docs thougbt HCQ showed some potential vis-a-vis COVID-19. Fauci jumped all PDJT in the media and saw to pharmacists and doctors that prescribed HCQ or filled prescriptions for it were fired or otherwise punished, even to the point of being stripped of their professional credentials.
There is evidence that Big Pharma did indeed intend that Red Staters would suffer this proportionately from more virulent snake bite juice.
