About 300 medical freedom advocates gathered today in front of the U.S. Supreme Court for the “Rally to Reclaim Free Speech” as the justices heard oral arguments in Murthy v. Missouri, a landmark case that could shape the future of free speech in America.
The rally, organized by Children’s Health Defense (CHD) and other health freedom groups, featured a host of speakers who told the crowd that government-directed social media censorship during the COVID-19 pandemic violated the First Amendment and led to a dangerous suppression of dissenting voices on public health issues.
