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:

True information:

a. Delta: The Surgeon General wants us to remove true information about side effects.

Why do you think people should or shouldn't know about the side effects of the COVID vaccine?

There are people questioning the veracity of the quote so I've searched a bit and found some sources.

Lol dude I'm telling you WE HAVE. We have read it. Jesus how many people have to tell you that?! We literally know what you're talking about and referencing.

First, if it's some big government conspiracy, how would there be any "papers" available for us to read? They wouldn't exist. They'd be shredded, black boxed away by the government. It'd be scrubbed off the web, any website hosting it would be raided by the FBI.

Second, we recognize when we don't have the context of the data being presented. Just because you can read does not mean that you understand how the data correlates. Dunning Kruger is real, the more you learn in life the more you realize how little you know. The age old trope that a first year psychology major knows how to solve everyone's problems, but then they keep going and think "Hmmmm maybe I don't know everything".

Don't just read a paper, put your money where your mouth is and go get a medical degree. Then I'll listen to you.

(By the way if you're just a troll, bravo, wonderful job, this has been fun)
