A Modern David vs. Goliath Battle: The Disinformation Dozen are Fighting for You

by Dr. Sherri Tenpenny

It’s been a while since I wrote for The Tenpenny Report, but this week brought a major push to support the Disinformation Dozen, of which I am a member.

The Center for Countering Digital Hate (CCDH) targeted our small group in their report, titled “The Disinformation Dozen.” CCDH analyzed approximately 812,000 Facebook posts and 120,000 tweets. Based on this limited sample, the CCDH authors concluded that roughly 65% of what they categorized as anti-vaccine content on those platforms could be traced back to content produced or amplified by just twelve individuals – us! This figure – and our group – was widely cited and disparaged in mainstream media coverage. We became part of policy discussions, including being personally named by lawmakers and members of the Biden administration.

At the time I heard it, which was early in 2021, I thought, “Wow! We’re really making an impact, and we will save many from this jab!! Let’s double down!!” However, that’s when the deplatforming, financial theft, and shadowbanning began in earnest.

The lawsuit associated with the “Disinformation Dozen” was filed on May 15, 2025, by Childers Law, LLC, led by attorney Jeff Childers (who is also the author of the highly recommended, daily substack,
 Coffee and Covid. The firm is representing six of the original twelve: Dr. Joseph Mercola, Robert F. Kennedy Jr., Ty and Charlene Bollinger, Rizza Islam, Dr. Rashid Buttar (deceased), Erin Elizabeth, Sayer Ji, Kelly Brogan, Kevin Jenkins, Dr. Christiane Northrup, Dr. Ben Tapper… and me.

Our case was filed in federal court in Florida against multiple defendants, including U.S. government agencies, federal officials, and major tech companies such as Meta, Google, and X. This is truly a David-versus-Goliath endeavor. At its core, the lawsuit raises a significant constitutional question: whether the government can directly or indirectly restrict speech by working through private companies and tech platforms. The broader issue beyond the individuals involved—may ultimately determine the case’s long-term significance for First Amendment protection.


Full Court Press for Freedom of Speech

Children’s Health Defense published an article in The Defender on March 24 about the plaintiffs, noting that censorship and constraints persist five years after the assault on our social media platforms and livelihoods.

All of us were invited on March 26 by Tony Lyons, the president of MAHA Action, to tell our stories to the very large MAHA Action audience. See my substack for my 5-minute testimony.
Earlier that same day, we had a full report from Jeff Childers. (I joined a few minutes late), but we had a great conversation. Jeff gave us (and you) an update about the lawsuit. Our case argues that the defendants’ actions collectively violate our First Amendment rights, infringe on due process and equal protection, and constitute a civil conspiracy between government entities and private companies to restrict speech.

Here’s 
the link to the full conversation.

Action Item

To prevent this from happening again, we need the courts to say clearly and unequivocally: what happened was unconstitutional. Six of those original twelve are fighting back. But we need your help.
Litigation is expensive. We face the most well-funded and highly protected defendants in history. Discovery will be hard-fought. Expert testimony will be necessary and costly. Please consider donating to our GiveSendGo.

We need to raise money for our legal defense. 100% of the funds raised will go to Childers Law to help us
fight the Goliaths of our day: the government and the Tech Giants.

We understand that funds are tight and tensions are high for everyone right now, given the global situation with Iran. Gas is up. Food is up. Everything important is more expensive.
But our lawsuit is for you, your family, your children, and your grandchildren.

If the government and Big Tech can collude against citizens once, they can do it again…and again…and
again. That is, unless their dirty deeds are legally stopped by the courts.

Meet Jamie Walden, of Omega Dynamics. Imbued with matchless passion for all things “adventurous” and “fun”, Jamie’s teen years were filled with significant tumult (injuries, arrests, and choices of near life-long consequence). However, amid the rebellion and ruckus, Jamie continually endeavored to one day earn the title, “U.S. Marine”. After being nominated to attend the National Youth Leadership Forum on Defense, Intelligence, and Diplomacy in Washington, D.C., where he subsequently secured a nomination to the US Naval Academy, Jamie made the determination to simply enlist in the Marine Corps Infantry and achieve his childhood dream.

After leaving the Marines Corps, Jamie obtained a double major B.S. in Law Enforcement and History. Pursuing a career in Federal Law Enforcement, Jamie was selected as an Intern for the United States Marshals Service, and subsequent recruitment to a “Three Letter” agency. It was then, when Jamie received “the call”, that the Lord began testing and affirming the genuineness of his faith.

After again returning to Iraq in 2014 to serve the Christians suffering under the savage campaign of ISIS, Jamie and his wife Virginia were compelled to surrender their paradigm and follow the Lord into full-time ministry.

“The Mission of Omega Dynamics is this: to teach, train and equip “Those with ears to hear” to stand anew in their rightful place as more than conquerors in a kingdom that cannot be shaken…this generation is literally, eternally dying for us to”
