"Where did you go to medical school?", Mace vs. Twitter CLO Vijaya Gadde
A supercut of three verbatim moments from Rep. Nancy Mace’s questioning at the February 8, 2023 House Oversight Twitter Files hearing, from her setup on Stanford and Harvard doctors censored by Twitter, to the viral medical school exchange with Vijaya Gadde, to Mace pressing Gadde on what authority she had to override doctors.
On February 8, 2023, the House Oversight Committee held a hearing on Twitter’s role in suppressing the Biden laptop story and COVID-related speech. Former Twitter Chief Legal Officer Vijaya Gadde testified alongside other former Twitter executives.
Rep. Nancy Mace questioned Gadde on Twitter’s decision to suppress tweets by credentialed doctors, including Dr. Jay Bhattacharya of Stanford and Dr. Martin Kulldorff of Harvard, who had raised questions about COVID vaccine policy.
This supercut stitches three verbatim moments from that questioning, each cut from the official committee feed and captioned word-for-word:
- “Apparently the views of a Stanford doctor are disinformation to you people.”, Mace framing the Twitter Files disclosure about Bhattacharya’s tweets being labeled “Trends Blacklist.”
- “Where did you go to medical school?” / “I did not go to medical school.” / “That’s what I thought.”, the exchange that generated over 61 million reported views.
- “Why do you think you or anyone else at Twitter had the medical expertise to censor a doctor’s expert opinion?”, Mace pressing Gadde on the authority she claimed.
Gadde replied that Twitter’s COVID policies “were designed to protect individuals.” Mace continued: “We were seeing you guys censored Harvard-educated doctors, Stanford-educated doctors… and you silenced those voices.”
