Naomi Wolf banned from Twitter for spreading vaccine myths

Many social media users applaud termination of author's account, but some have said move is a blow to freedom of speech

The author Naomi Wolf has been suspended from Twitter after using it to spread myths about the pandemic, vaccines and lockdown.

Wolf, who wrote the influential feminist work The Beauty Myth, holds staunch anti-vaccine views. Last month she told a US congressional committee that vaccine passports would re-create a situation that is very familiar to me as a student of history. This has been the start of many, many genocides."
