Topic: The US surgeon general instructed Facebook to remove true information about vaccine side effects.
Anonymous A started this discussion 2 years ago #112,174
From an internal Facebook email just released by the House Judiciary Committee:> The Surgeon General wants us to remove true information about side effects if the user does not provide complete information about whether the side effect is rare and treatable. We do not recommend pursuing this practice.
We know that Facebook banned many large groups where vaccine recipients had joined to discuss and seek advice for treating possible side-effects, so it appears they decided to follow through despite their initial hesitance.
What makes this so egregious is the fact that no one knew what sort of long-term side-effects the COVID vaccines might have because the placebo groups were vaccinated as soon as the trials ended. The short-term side-effects were also poorly documented and understood because most doctors were afraid to question claims that the vaccine was 100% safe and effective, especially since the White House was engaged in a campaign to silence anyone who posed that question. Merely asking about side-effects was enough to earn you the label of "anti-vaxxer".
This sort of top-down censorship becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy: Dissent is deleted, reinforcing the false consensus. People start to notice the lack of dissent and assume the manufactured consensus must be correct, otherwise there would surely be some dissent... right?

Good thing then that Elon bought Twitter and turned it into X.

Of course I trust the majority consensus of the world's top experts on a topic. If you think you know more than they do, then you are delusional.

Who do you think published the original data showing that vaccines cause these side effects?

Not when that data is censored by the Surgeon General.
How can you change your conclusion if you aren't allowed to know the data?

You have no idea how science works. And again, it is. completely reasonable and likely that the world's top experts got it wrong and are in on a vast. conspiracy, and YOU somehow figured it out.

I never said anything about some vast conspiracy.
The government should not censor scientists, which is what it did during the covid pandemic.
The reason there are so many conspiracy theorists is because of how often we catch officials being negligent or fighting transparency.
If the Demonratic administration didn't resort to censorship before trying other options, the public would likely have greater trust in the process.

They were collecting samples from regular people, a lot of people.
Now when the taliban can point to this to dissuade anyone from participating in vaccination programs, which is what they have done.
Why does the judeowest sow distrust and then shame the communities they've conditioned to be suspicious?

So the chart on the right is religion and the chart on the left is critical thinking.
