New MIT free speech group hosts COVID vaccine critic, entrepreneur Steve Kirsch

Tech entrepreneur Steve Kirsch spoke on the overlooked dangers of COVID-19 vaccinations to a packed auditorium at Massachusetts Institute of Technology Thursday night at the invitation of a new student group dedicated to intellectual diversity.

Kirsch is a 1980 alumnus of MIT, inventor of the optical mouse, and founder in 1994 of Infoseek, an internet search engine, according to MIT News.

According to a 2021 article in MIT Technology Review, “Kirsch has spent tens of millions of dollars fighting humanity’s biggest threats” after “making a fortune as the founder of Infoseek, an early search engine that was the Google of its day.”
