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.

    (there is data but he isn’t qualified to understand it, but looking at it it sure looks scary don’t it)

    Seriously there are databases on vaccine issues, and if you read them as a layperson it is freaky. You immediately start getting wary of them, this was a backfire of their original purpose though. The ironic thing is that these databases are made public on purpose so the public would feel better about vaccines, but that relies on a public that is actually, you know, diligent about data.

    The databases are populated by anything that happens after getting a vaccine. That means if you get strep throat after getting a vaccine? It goes in the database. Now a doctor or trained people know what is actually attributable to vaccines and what isn’t, and can filter that information and mark it as irrelevant, but to an untrained person it’s Oh god look vaccines cause cancer. No they don’t. The lifetime smoker at age 77 does have lung cancer, but just because she got lung cancer after receiving the vaccine does not mean that it’s related.

    And this is of course just ignoring the fact that OP is talking about a government conspiracy to hide data from us while also referencing public databases full of data about vaccine safety.

      Yup he’s just going in circles and to him that means it’s all justified.

      • I want to show you the truth
      • You don’t know the real truth because the government is censoring it
      • The truth is on Youtube, the absolute king of DMCA takedowns

      Really I pity him, he probably puts a lot of self worth in being the Keanu Reeves of figuring this all out.

      Yeah; as you point out, the extant information certainly doesn’t mean what he thinks it means, and there is zero evidence of government censorship here.

      Basically the OP has brainworms and is trying to infect other people with them. Hope they’re banned from this community as this is not the first instance of them doing it.
