I'm looking at the list of things that Facebook says it will take down as "misinformation" and is this retroactive? They'd then have to take down most of public health advice, including from the CDC and the WHO and major newspapers, from the first six months of the pandemic.https://twitter.com/MikeIsaac/status/1358838193668325377 …

Oh, the irony: about six months of my life was eaten up by trying to convince WHO that healthy people *should* wear masks and now Facebook will ban the following as misinformation. (Now, it is indeed false). Not so irony: we'll ban whatever WHO disputes for now not an ideal rule.pic.twitter.com/wHr8iYhFBn

Also. Of course there are tests that are not yet approved that can detect COVID-19. Does Facebook think tests collapse into reality from their superimposed state the moment they are approved? If a test fails to detect a new variant for some reason, are we allowed to discuss that?pic.twitter.com/R1RzJo8blS

If even I can immediately spot errors—the ongoing clinical trial with NO PLACEBO—that means Facebook didn't hire a COVID-19 expert to check this. I hope it never happens but seems Facebook would also ban discussion of vaccine production issues. (Last big incident: 2008, China).pic.twitter.com/2Tl0Z1xA2X

Yes, as it is worded, Facebook would have to ban all discussions of today's news around the Oxford/AstraZeneca vaccine and the strain in South Africa. There goes today's WHO presser, I guess!https://twitter.com/BettinaRyll/status/1358861985597820930 …

What about promising early treatment regimens? Is this guideline just a way to prune any variations that aren't yet the accepted discourse?

Sitting with our grant application for the ideal cluster RCT right now, deadline tomorrow at 2pm. (They compare face mask evidence to the *vaccines*? Just by being authorised pharmaceuticals those are among the most well-tested medical interventions there is. Masks, not so much.)

"The ideal" with a smile emote, of course!
