They can publish in Journals but that's hardly accessible to the wider public considering most people wouldn't know where to look to find these journals or the fact that many are still behind paywalls.
In the absence of a publicly open forum (social media in this case) for them to present their own research to the public (or correct misconceptions) they will be open to manipulation from the media and the administration to fit whatever narrative they wish with little to no chance of rebuttal from the scientist.
This sort of stuff is already happening and that's with scientists able to publicly complain of misrepresentaion let alone with a gagging order in place.

After published in any outlet anyone can repass that information as much as they want, so?

Bit of a shit way to do it, relying on other scientists outside of the US to try and combat a false narrative.
And if that was actually effective, what is the point of this gag order?
Actually, thinking about it, this gag order is kinda useless as a number of unofficial "rogue" accounts have cropped up. I suppose we'll see what they do about these rogue accounts but this could end up being a load of hot air people will laugh about in a few months.
