Joseph Arthur has sued the Los Angeles Times over a 2021 article that characterized the musician as an anti-vaxxer. Then he started posting about the vaccine.” It details Arthur’s repeated use of his social media accounts to spread misinformation about the COVID-19 vaccine. The suit claims that the LA Times published the article despite Arthur’s assertions to the publication that he wasn’t an anti-vaxxer. “Publication caused him to be shunned and avoided. The Article severely injured Arthur in his occupation as a musician, leading directly to the cancelation of multiple gigs.”
