Facebook issues harsh response to Biden accusation the platform is 'killing people'
Fox Business ^ | 1 hour ago 7/17/21 | Audrey Conklin

Facebook is pushing back against the White House's narrative that the social media platform is "killing people."

"In private exchanges the Surgeon General has praised our work, including our efforts to inform people about COVID-19. They knew what they were doing. The White House is looking for scapegoats for missing their vaccine goals," a Facebook spokesperson told NBC's Dylan Beyers.

"The fact is that more than 2 billion people have viewed authoritative information about COVID-19 and vaccines on Facebook, which is more than any place on the internet," the spokesperson said. "More than 3.3 million Americans have also used our vaccine finder tool to find out where and how to get the vaccine. The facts show that Facebook is helping save lives. Period."

The real reason we are seeing a spike in cases is because of all the illegal aliens Biden is flooding this country with..they have covid and are being shipped to different states(mostly red states to turn those states blue) so that is what is going on

Orchestrated BS for a distraction from the commie democrat disaster infecting this nation.

>Watching this horse and pony show develop between Biden and FB, my sentiments exactly. Some sort of political theater. They are two peas in a communist pod.

I would love for Biden to get the same message I have had so many times on FB.

This is a violation of “Facebook Community Standards” and has been removed.
or
“You cannot post for thirty days due to a violation blah blah blah.”

***FB tries to show the appearance of independence.***

Yep. Zuck is getting all “manish” on biden. Wonder if he will pull the “I got you elected!” or the “I made you, I can Break you!” card on Biden.

Disagreement is now called hate. Go look up the online group

Center for Countering Digital Hate

They're privately funded, but don't say by whom.

(Gates? Soros? The Chicoms?)

They consider the concept the COVID-19 is a Chinese bioweapon to be "disinformation."

Get this (the horror! the horror!).

Their website says "The anti-vaxx industry earns at least $36 million annually by profiting at the expense of public health."

"This anti-vaxx industry boasts annual revenue of at least $36 million and employs 266 people."

Get that? An *INDUSTRY*. With 266 whole employees.

Compare that to, say...the # of employees at Moderna, or Pfizer, or Astra-Zeneca.

Remember, SJWs *always* project.

Recall that Moderna went from being $1.74 billion in debt a year ago, to clearing billions this year.

And that, over what they admitted in their own SEC filing, was an experimental gene therapy.

And the openly have online petitions calling on Faecesbook and Instagrime to censor people they disagree with.

These are THEIR examples of misinformation and online "hate":

Claims about the safety or serious side effects of COVID-19 vaccines, including:

Claims that COVID-19 vaccines kill or seriously harm people, which we define as leading to any of the following harmful side effects:

Death

Amyotropic Lateral Sclerosis(ALS)

Multiple sclerosis

COVID-19 or a new COVID-19 strain

Autism

Miscarriages

Infertility or Sterilization

Altering DNA

Blood clots (except in relation to specific vaccines for which public health authorities have found possible links or are officially investigating such reports)

Other side-effects which are incredulous or irrational, such as taking the vaccine turns you into a monkey

Slightly off topic ....

The last 2 days I’ve been looking at obituary notices from various and unconnected locales. Random places.

Since January and really picking up in late March, are double and triple the number of deaths from the 12 months before that time period.

Go look for yourselves. And then surmise what’s the common factor. People by the dozens from 40’s and older “dying suddenly”.

This non-vaccine is a killer, a weeder-outer. I will have no part of whatever it is.

“THEY” KNOW people are dying after getting the doses of experimental whatever-it-is, yet, like Ivermectin and Hydroxychloroquine “THEY” are withholding the truth until it suits “THEIR” purposes.

My guess is “THEY” are saving it up for a time when it will hurt, shame, and discredit President Trump the most. “HE MADE THE VACCINES HAPPEN AND KILLED DOZENS OF THOUSANDS” will be headlines.

Social media has actually killed thousands with its censorship of actual scientists and disinformation from political hacks

Seems like this would be the place for Trump to focus on with his lawsuit

When you allow free speech, those exercising it will sometimes be seriously wrong.

Theatre. Probably because of Psaki’s statements re:”combatting misinformation” campaign raised some eyebrows.
Facebook should be called Fedbook.

“Facebook issues harsh response to Biden accusation the platform is ‘killing people’”

apparently FB censorship efforts weren’t stringent enough for the Bidenistas ...

In private exchanges the Surgeon General Which shouldn't be happening

Doesn't sound like something only a platform would do. Why, it almost sounds like some editorial action is going on.

Bwa ha ha.

They have a real Josef dilemma on their hands

Keep him in the basement so he doesn’t verbally step on his tellywacker

Or

Send him out to appear in charge

with the very real risk he says the quiet part out loud by Freudian slip

( I.e. We have the greatest vote fraud organization ever !)

or poorly worded quip that says what we suspect

such as

Facebook is getting people killed

by censoring medical facts

and flat out untrue fictious propaganda.

.

I hope the commies choke on that dilemma.

He should compel Psaki to testify.
