Some of those posts were flagged as part of Facebook’s efforts to combat false news and misinformation on its News Feed.

Fact checkers were wrong

Scientific community consensus was wrong

Facebook was removing true comments as misinformation

“Debunked conspiracy” was right

President Trump called it correctly months ago and the scientific fools ignored him.

It’s not a fact check. It’s a party line opinion.

Fauci knew and lied at the time. Just as China had done during the original outbreak.

“...CORONAVIRUS was CREATED in Wuhan Lab and released INTENTIONALLY...”

I remember when "debunked" was a drinking game word for the debates and interviews. There are litterally hundreds of examples where the media "debunked" a factually true Trump claim. Above are just a few of the big ones.
