There are several cases on Facebook where they are not only not removing anti-vaccination posts, but allowing to stand complete falsehoods about the circumstances of one’s demise.
Case 1, Hadley Huffman.
This is the response to that post-
It got so bad her Grandmother had to clarify on her deceased Granddaughter’s post:
Then after being informed that it was not the vaccine, by the young lady’s grandmother, we find this exchange from total strangers:
Case 2, the late Dr. Thomas Flanagan. Also found on #covidvaccinevictims hashtag.
Then in the comments we find this:
Facebook is not doing a great job. Type in any kind of random anti-vaccine hashtags at all, and you will find dozens of dubious posts, some flat making up the circumstances of a person’s death, even arguing with the family over the circumstances.
These are not isolated. They are part of a larger issue of rampant misinformation spreading faster than we can vaccinate.
So yes, they should be called out and yes they should be held accountable for the damage and hurt they allow. This is just two of many, and some of the comments are just beyond any reason whatsoever.
