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.

    When I got my vaccine, they gave us a sheet with all the possible side effects, their relative frequencies, and when you should seek medical attention. Do you not get one of those?

      That’s nice but the thing is if you posted those side effects on Facebook they would have to remove it because of the US government pressure. What do you think about that? Shouldn’t people be able to share and read those side effects on any platform they choose online?

        Not a Facebook user and I know nothing about them having to remove this. Seems strange to me that the government would prevent you from sharing information that they’re trying to disseminate themselves. I do agree that the information should be available on any platform.
