View on XThe Post Millennial reached out to Lindsay for comment, to which he said: "Twitter has inconvenienced me and simultaneously confessed that they have a vested interest in protecting the sexualization of children. This also suggests the possibility of an untoward relationship between Twitter and Media Matters, which deserves investigation. I'm glad they've drawn so much attention to the issue, in any case. It has to stop. We must protect our children."
Lindsay was also suspended from his account in May after tweeting "misleading" information about COVID vaccines.
The tweet, which reportedly triggered the lockout, was a retweet of physician-scientist and author Eric Topol, who posted a graphic and a study on the effects of "long COVID." Lindsay said that the scientific name for "long covid is vaccine injury."
