The vast majority of Covid-19 anti-vaccine misinformation and conspiracy theories originated from just 12 people, a report by the Center for Countering Digital Hate (CCDH) cited by the White House this week found.
CCDH, a UK/US non-profit and non-governmental organization, found in March that these 12 online personalities they dubbed the “disinformation dozen” have a combined following of 59 million people across multiple social media platforms, with Facebook having the largest impact. CCDH analyzed 812,000 Facebook posts and tweets and found 65% came from the disinformation dozen. Vivek Murthy, US surgeon general, and Joe Biden focused on misinformation around vaccines this week as a driving force of the virus spreading.
On Facebook alone, the dozen are responsible for 73% of all anti-vaccine content, though the vaccines have been deemed safe and effective by the US government and its regulatory agencies. And 95% of the Covid misinformation reported on these platforms were not removed.

Hmm

So many folks are puttiing out great solid info, many being practicing doctors.
Propaganda + censorship of those who oppose the propaganda.
Welcome to the new normal comrades.
Yeah
I forgot that POS
Let’s see... Just ONE engineer raised the warning that the space shuttle o-rings would fail in the cold weather. The officials deemed the launch safe, and everyone above was blown up in the sky.
Let government get away with blocking “covid misinformation” and it will never hesitate to block any opinions contrary to the Party line.
I couldn't agree more. Refute false or misleading information, sure. But informational censorship by the government OR what has clearly become little more than state media, the MSM, and silicone valley is utterly unacceptable in this country. This creeping stifling of public discourse began in earnest after the 2016 election and has gone nuclear with COVID and the insurrection BS. Enough!

>Why are they telling you not to get your shots? Because they like and respect you?<
Why would they tell you not to take the shot? They are not saying that. They are merely telling you the rest of the story. The choice is yours at least until the government mandates that you take it.
Bkmk

Here is the truth in three simple lessons
1- history of the evil insane vaxx business
2- Websites by highly intelligent parents of vaxx damaged kids who took it upon themselves to help others see the truth

President Trump took the vacks on the recommendation of people who he trusted. He trusted a lot of people who shouldn’t be trusted to reload the toilet paper.
Non-profit

Rizza Islam is also known as Ronnie Steven “Rizza” Islam. He is a member of Louis Farrakhan’s Nation of Islam.
Robert Kennedy Jr. we already know of.
No, that’s not what they are saying. They just listed the 12 worst. That doesn’t mean there aren’t more disinformation artists, it just means they noted the 12 most prolific.
If they bothered to list the dirty 2 dozen then the other names might be there.
