It also comes amid the government's current push to boost stalling vaccination rates while the delta variant takes hold of the country's unvaccinated, in what Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Director Dr. Rochelle Walensky called"a pandemic of the unvaccinated" on Friday.
The Biden administration has doubled down on their efforts to get more people vaccinated -- particularly after the countrySurgeon General Vivek Murthy speaks at a ceremony honoring care workers, July 13, 2021, in Santa Fe, N.M. The surgeon general's new advisory specifically digs into social media platforms as having greatly contributed to the"unprecedented speed and scale" of misinformation's spread and Murthy calls on technology and social media companies to"take more responsibility to stop online spread of health misinformation."
It argues that misinformation, particularly on social media websites like Facebook, has hindered vaccination efforts, sown mistrust, caused people to reject public health measures, use unproven treatments, prolonged the pandemic and put lives at risk.ABC News' Sasha Pezenik, Molly Nagle and Justin Gomez contributed to this report.
So true!
Who who is killing people name them and I’ll have their heads on a stick!
Dems are trying to save lives, even those of Republicans. Would they do the same if the table was turned?
By the Biden admin's own logic, anyone who is pushing pro-insurance and pharma lies about Medicare for All are 'killing people' and should be banned from all social media platforms. 🤔
Sleepe Joe you are out of your mind!..
Shut up and get line people. Take a shot. Take the 2nd and the 3rd when we offer it. Hunt down your neighbors like we have on Facebook and turn them in. Stop free speech we don't like. Because the unvaccinated are Fascists. Even if we behave more like fascists.
Target the Maga politician(Johnson,Paul,Abbott,DeSantis,etc) in congress and statehouses that are preventing mask wearing in public spaces/ schools/vaccine education/vaccine requirements/ that are not now allowing 14 and older to get vaccinated without parental consent. Before Y.
Our body, our choice, isn’t that what you Democrats always say?
12 months of spread before the 1st variant was detected. Exactly 2 weeks after the first vaccines were administered. No implied connection. Just facts. Now we have 10. Lamda is the highest I’ve seen. Who’s the Petrie dish?
It might help if we stop letting illegals with COVID over the border then shipping all over the country! Can we please just use a little common sense.
Lolol I can’t even! JoeBiden you’re such a joke! Enough said.
Media, social media and government are feeding us misinformation and only tell us what they want us to hear.
What? What about the pedos on social media ?
Game.
Have you heard about the Schweizal variant? You have now 🙃
If this poisoninavial in a vial is so effective, then what are you afraid if you're vaccinated? nologic morons puddingbrain scamdemic2021 novaccinepassportsanywhere
Who wrote that ignorant crap on your notes, Mr Senility?
This is at minimum “Censorship” and this is how communism starts.
And yet they are constantly distracted by accusations which aren't supported by facts.
For some reason all I could picture was Herb Welch
Joe Biden, We're with you!
Because the virus that came from a lab in Wuhan was “misinformation”. Uh huh, right. 🙄
The President who favors abortion talks about killing people?
He said the unvaccinated are killing people
So Facebook are saying ALL media on their platform has been 100% verified by authorised government sources? And yet their platform has a bunch of Anti-vaxers using Dr Google and then copy & paste onto Facebook, which ppl read & think are facts....
Communist
Who determines what is misinformation? This is a slippery slope.
He should have included the republicans who are spouting anti-vaccination crap.
So Mark, what are the facts huh? Put up or shut up.
If people didn’t believe everything they read on FB or other social media, that would be great...Whether it’s about a vaccine or whatever
Viruses kill people, not individuals. Governments, on the other hand, kill millions of people.
Facts? They let a madman run rampant for years only giving him the boot when he cried about losing. facebook should practice what they preach.
Boycott Facebook
He’s not wrong though. People get their “news” from Facebook and will argue with you to the death!
