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.

I’ve tried posting about the side effects a few times but it always gets downvoted to oblivion, so I guess most people don’t want anyone to know about the side effects and want the US government to censor that information, but I don’t understand why.

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

    Somebody else already explained it but I’ll repeat since you’re not listening. You didn’t quote a full quote. You pulled half a sentence.

    They wanted true information removed when it was only partial, or was paired with incorrect information. Posting the pamphlet given when you were vaccinated would be fine because it was complete and contained no incorrect information.

    But posting half the information can be damaging too as you’ve shown elsewhere in this very conversation. Your 1 in 32 statistic was followed up with information that issues were minor and had absolutely no lasting side effects or major cardiac events. Posting that statistic by itself with no extra information scares people from getting the vaccine.

    So you posting 1 in 32 people have issues would get removed. You posting a link stating that 1 in 32 people have issues but none of them major or long lasting would not be removed. Do you see the difference?
