New Evidence Revealed in Social Media and Vaccine Cases; Chevron Deference and the Supreme Court

New Evidence Revealed in Social Media and Vaccine Cases

Mark and Vec discuss new evidence in social media and vaccine cases.

On March 3, the U.S. Surgeon General demanded that the tech companies turn over information about individuals who spread “misinformation” about Covid-19, a clear intimidation tactic that HHS has labeled a “Request for Information” (RFI). NCLA previously filed a Complaint in the lawsuit, Changizi, et al. v. HHS, et al., in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Ohio. The lawsuit alleges that Surgeon General Vivek Murthy and HHS Secretary Xavier Becerra, whom NCLA has sued in their official capacities, do not have the statutory authority to issue this RFI.

Chevron Deference and the Supreme Court

Mark and Vec speculate on Chevron deference and the Supreme Court. NCLA has two cases challenging Chevron deference pending in the U.S. Supreme Court on a petition for a writ of certiorari—Aposhian v. Garland and Buffington v. McDonough.
