Misinformation about Covid-19 vaccines is a reality. And the President of the United States, Joe Biden, this Friday threw himself to social networks like Facebook, accusing them of killing people.
“They are killing people. The only pandemic we have is affecting people who have not been vaccinated,” said Joe Biden. Who quotes the US president is the French agency France Presse, which clarifies that the president will have been asked about "platforms like Facebook", as explained by Engadget.
These statements came a day after US Surgeon General Vivek Murthy spoke about the dangers of vaccine misinformation. This asks Facebook and other platforms to do more to avoid it.
As the social network directly targeted by the accusations, Facebook has already gone public to reaffirm its concern to help save lives. And it reveals the numbers that support this claim.
Facebook says 2 billion people saw reliable information about Covid-19 on Facebook
“We will not be distracted by accusations that are not supported by the facts. The fact is that more than 2 billion people have seen reliable information about COVID-19 and vaccines on Facebook, which is more than anywhere else on the internet”, the social network begins by saying in a statement.
“Over 3.3 million Americans have also used our vaccine tracking tool to find out where and how to get a vaccine. The facts show that Facebook is helping to save lives. Period.”, reiterates the spokesperson for Facebook.
