House Judiciary Chairman Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH) has disclosed that in March 2021, Amazon was pressured by senior Biden administration officials to censor books that allegedly contained vaccine misinformation. Internal documents and emails show that Amazon officials were summoned to the White House to discuss the removal of books from the retail giant's website that questioned the safety and efficacy of COVID-19 vaccines. Amazon staffers questioned, 'Is the admin asking us to remove books?' referring to concerns over a 'book ban.' The House has also uncovered emails showing White House officials discussing 'high levels of propaganda and misinformation and disinformation' on Amazon's platform, including a reference to Ryan T. Anderson's book, which was banned from Amazon.

The left cries about “book banning” when folks like @Moms4Liberty question straight up porn in school libraries. Meanwhile, the Biden admin was literally pressuring the biggest book retailer to fully pull books disagreeing with their preferred message. THAT is book banning. https://t.co/tdUxKHVZPX
Note the reference to a "Harry/Sally" scenario. That's a reference to the book by @RyanTAnd, which Amazon banned. 'Amazon staffers asked, "Is the admin asking us to remove books?" Then they acted to suppress books that criticized COVID-19 vaccines.' https://t.co/Com5ktNjmu
