Lying About ‘Misinformation’ To Justify Tyranny

Last week, President Joe Biden was asked whether he had any message for social
media amidst a dramatic rise in the number of diagnosed COVID-19 cases thanks
to the delta variant. Biden immediately responded that companies like Facebook
were responsible for murder: “They’re killing people — I mean, they’re really,
look, the only pandemic we have is among the unvaccinated. And they’re killing
people.” Meanwhile, Surgeon General Dr. Vivek Murthy said that Facebook had not
stopped misinformation thoroughly enough on its platform, calling
misinformation a “serious threat to public health.”

 

None of this is accurate. Facebook is, first of all, a platform; it is not a
publication with the same responsibilities of editorial oversight as a
publisher. To treat Facebook as such would be to transform its purpose.
Furthermore, on a purely factual level, it is simply untrue that Facebook users
are disproportionately likely to avoid vaccination — in fact, according to
Facebook’s statistics, vaccine acceptance in the United States among their
users now stands between 80% and 85%, and 3.3 million Americans have used their
vaccine finder tool to seek a location for a vaccine.
