I’ve seen a video talking about the leaked Facebook files where it says they should remove true information about side effects. It says Facebook should remove:

True information:

a. Delta: The Surgeon General wants us to remove true information about side effects.

Why do you think people should or shouldn’t know about the side effects of the COVID vaccine?

There are people questioning the veracity of the quote so I’ve searched a bit and found some sources.

      I didn’t say that, don’t put words on my mouth. I said I like to hear all sides of a story even the wrong ones.

        I didnt say that you did. I was asking you a question. How do you determine that a post from your aunt who says COVID vaccine will cause cancer and a post from the AMA saying that in less than 0.1% of vaccines administered causes any sort of side affect and that in that 0.1% nearly all were related to preexisting conditions?

        I am asking for your methodology because i have a feeling that like the majority of people whom put any stock into things they read on FB, it’s not a very rigours process. No slight to you, most people have no background in science so having a good epistemology is not high on most people’s list.

        My side says that licking toads counters the side effects of the vaccine. I demand to be taken as seriously as your youtuber friend. I can even provide an excel file with numbers that I can claim proves my theory, if that’ll prove it to you
