3. TNI Lawsuit filed!
Texas: CHD filed a first-in-the-country antitrust lawsuit against members of the “Trusted News Initiative” (“TNI”) for colluding to censor online news. CHD aims to vindicate the freedom of the press.
According to co-plaintiff Dr. Joseph Mercola, “Platforms partner with the alphabet soup of federal agencies to censor speech. Those same platforms and legacy media outlets conspire to boycott stories that don’t fit an official narrative about COVID and many other topics. Our nation’s founding fathers would be appalled and resolute in defense of maintaining an informed citizenry.”
The Defendants are the BBC, The Washington Post, the Associated Press and Reuters.

5. Hearing in Censorship case in Pasadena – RFK v. Warren
Plaintiffs filed suit against U.S. Senator Elizabeth Warren for First Amendment Constitutional violations against free speech. In Fall 2021, U.S. Senator Elizabeth Warren sent a letter to Amazon demanding an “immediate review” of Amazon’s algorithms to weed out books peddling “COVID misinformation,” and specifically singled out Dr. Joseph Mercola’s book, “The Truth about COVID-19” in which Robert F. Kennedy Jr. wrote the forward. Warren’s letter attempted to intimidate Amazon into dropping the book — akin to modern-day book burning and censorship of constitutionally protected speech. The issues raised in this case go against SCOTUS precedent in Bantam Books v. Sullivan, whereby the U.S. Supreme Court held that state officials violated the First Amendment by sending letters to booksellers to censor free speech.
The hearing was held in Pasadena on January 9, 2023, where attorney Jed Rubenfeld presented arguments.

6. Victory! Healthcare workers win lawsuit NY State Supreme Court
On Oct. 20, 2022, Medical Professionals for Informed Consent filed a lawsuit challenging a COVID-19 vaccine mandate for healthcare professionals.
On January 5, 2023, Judge Gerard Neri of the New York State Supreme Court in Onondaga County heard oral arguments in the case in Syracuse, New York. The lawsuit questioned several aspects of the legality of New York’s vaccine mandate for healthcare workers and illustrated the harm caused by the mandate in the context of an ongoing shortage of healthcare workers in the state.
On January 13, 2023, in a groundbreaking decision, Judge Neri held that the healthcare worker COVID-19 vaccine mandate is now “null, void, and of no effect.” The court held that the NYS Dept. of Health lacked the authority to impose such a mandate as this power is reserved to the state legislature. Furthermore, the court found that the mandate was “Orwellian” and “arbitrary and capricious.”Since COVID-19 vaccines do not stop transmission, no rational basis exists for a mandate.
