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.

I didnt say that you did. I was asking you a question. How do you determine that a post from your aunt who says COVID vaccine will cause cancer and a post from the AMA saying that in less than 0.1% of vaccines administered causes any sort of side affect and that in that 0.1% nearly all were related to preexisting conditions?

I am asking for your methodology because i have a feeling that like the majority of people whom put any stock into things they read on FB, it's not a very rigours process. No slight to you, most people have no background in science so having a good epistemology is not high on most people's list.
