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:...
I believe it’s important for people to have accurate information about the side effects of the COVID vaccine. Here are some reasons why:
Informed Decision-making: Knowing the potential side effects allows individuals to make informed decisions about whether to get vaccinated. They can weigh the risks and benefits based on their personal health conditions and circumstances.
Managing Expectations: Understanding the possible side effects can help individuals mentally and emotionally prepare for any discomfort or temporary symptoms they may experience after vaccination.
Seeking Appropriate Medical Care: Being aware of the potential side effects enables individuals to recognize when something is not normal and seek appropriate medical care if needed. This can help ensure timely intervention and prevent any complications.
Transparency and Trust: Openly sharing information about side effects builds trust between the public and health authorities. It demonstrates transparency and a commitment to providing accurate and comprehensive information.
I don’t understand. Could you dumb it down for me? Should people know the side effects? As I understand from your comment, even true information should be banned from FB because people should go there only to hear opinions anyways, not factual medical information. Am I right? I really disagree because first is medical information, and then it will be something else, until no one has the right to say anything.
There have been doctors coming out, you just can’t hear their opinion on the main channels because they are controlled by the US. And there have been videos posted on freaking YouTube about it, but guess what YouTube is censored just as well as Facebook because it’s hosted in the US.
No one is talking about the deceased. As long as I know the side effects include myocarditis in 1 out of 35 people vaccinated, so if someone dies of it, it wouldn’t automatically be attributed to the vaccine, specially with the US censoring the relation between vaccine and side effects.
My angle is that the US government wants to censor even this type of information just for pointing at side effects, and people should be pissed but they just don’t seem to care, and I’m wondering why they don’t care about the US censoring this information.

Meta is a publicly traded company - that doesn’t mean they have business arrangements the outside world doesn’t know about. They’re held to public reporting obligations and have a Board of Directors hand-picked by Zuck (since he still has the majority control of voting shares).
A transaction like that is done in secret all the time, each and every day.
