      It was taken down in a targeted campaign by anti-vaxxers.https://twitter.com/malar0ne/status/1358788811648495616?s=19 …

      According to someone who was at its signing, the Great Barrington Declaration's FB page was taken down by anti-vaxxers. Maybe its authors, who care so much about censorship in science, should channel its resources toward addressing this issue that undermines herd immunity. https://twitter.com/gbdeclaration/status/1358449223197466627 … pic.twitter.com/UUOUyN2Zee

      Ironic indeed, given their tacit endorsement and support of anti-vaccine ideas

      I am skeptical that this is the case though, there are hundreds of science pages that anti-vaxxers have targeted and they rarely get taken down. My guess is there's more to the story!

          Yup. It's odd that their affiliate declared this with such certainty but there's no mention of it in this statement (in fact, it seems to claim the opposite).

          Yep. They also claim to be pro-vaccination but I've seen a few statements by the authors implying that vaccines are high-risk for young people so I think it's not quite as black and white as they are painting it

          It is odd....why would FB take down a page simply for recommending vaccines.

          Precisely. Also worth noting that every anti-vaxxer claims to be pro-vaccine

      Loading seems to be taking a while.
