what is the evidence people aren’t taking the vaccine bc they read misinformation on facebook rather than a) they don’t believe it works bc our vaccinated leadership behaves publicly in a manner that suggests it doesn’t (masks etc.) or b) it’s new and they don’t want to risk it
right, but none of these are facebook misinformation. this focus is just imo really transparently not about insulating people from the microchip conspiracy or whatever.

is risky. -
on (a) - i mean... some of the govt messaging has certainly not been well executed. and then, beyond social, there's also the media factor.
