Regardless of your opinions, this is just horrible journalism.

It reads as a fact, when it should say "a virologist who was recently banned from Twitter after being accused of spreading alleged vaccine falsehoods."

Unless it is something that can be proven, no journalist should state anything as fact.

If they interview me and I say I was anally-probed by an alien, they shouldn't say: "Bjorn Cyborg falsely claimed he was anally-probed by an alien." They should say I "claim" that I was. Or I "allegedly" was. Too often, supposed journalists let their feelings take the place of facts.
