Rep. Ted Lieu (D-Calif.) deleted a tweet responding to the "Twitter Files" after CEO Elon Musk said he was pointing users to "misleading data" about COVID.
Lieu deleted his tweet Monday in response to reporter David Zweig's Twitter Files revelations showing how the social media platform censored factually accurate COVID information that conflicted with the federal government.
"The tweet you cite is in fact misleading. People of all ages at high risk from covid generally benefit from vaccines. Prior natural immunity may last only a few months. COVID appears to be a leading cause of death for children," Lieu tweeted with a link to a preprint study that was re-written after critics pointed out its inaccuracies.
"Ted is linking to misleading data," Musk tweeted, calling for the platform's Community Notes to add missing information to the congressman's tweet.
Lieu deleted the tweet and responded again with a similar post by changing "COVID appears to be a leading cause of death for children" to "COVID can still be lethal for some children" and linking to a Bloomberg article titled, "Covid Is Way More Lethal to Kids Than The Flu."
Critics again called out Lieu for spreading misleading information about COVID in his tweet.
Lieu defended his decision to delete the tweet.
"I actually follow the facts wherever they may lead, and will revise my views if there are new facts," he said.

Lieu is a dingbat.
Aren’t they all?
I didn’t know that Ted is a doctor.
Lieu is an asshole.
People of all ages at high risk from covid generally benefit from vaccines.
Earth to Ted Lieu...more kids are dying from the COVID vaccines than from COVID. So much lying going on from the CDC, Fauci, Francis Collins, Wallensky and you lapped it up like a cat drinks milk.
“California Democrat Ted Lieu deletes tweet after Elon Musk fact-checks him”
He BLINKED (or, in Neocon parlance, blinkened). Something must have scared him about Musk...interesting.
good job Musk. you put the liar lieu in his place with facts.
Lieu deleted the tweet and responded again with a similar post by changing “COVID appears to be a leading cause of death for children” to “COVID can still be lethal for some children”

Still overweight Moderna in his stock portfolio?
A Lieu is a toilet.
“Earth to Ted Lieu...more kids are dying from the COVID vaccines than from COVID. So much lying going on from the CDC, Fauci, Francis Collins, Wallensky and you lapped it up like a cat drinks milk.”
I can’t say for sure, but politicians like Ted are either incredibly and “willfully” ignorant of the facts, or they are simply evil without a shred of decency, humanity or concern for anybody except themselves.
What a horrid little person he must be.
Or Lieu is a mega scumbag like Schiff and Brad Sherman.
and we know that from “People of all ages at high risk from covid” died from the placebo?
Last I checked COVID isn’t even in the Top 10 for fatalities in the 0-18 age range. Patently false.
Ted is a big noise, but falls apart when faced with the slightest opposition.
Raff out Roud!!!
