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.

@Veritas your link does not quite say what you think it says/were told it says. Here's what it says:

  • 2.8 percent of people in the study had mild myocardial effects (that's your one in 35)

  • most of them were women

  • the effects were shortlived, "mild and transient"

  • none of them even had any ECG changes

  • none of them had any adverse cardiac event

Here's a link to the actual published paper which is easier to read in browsers and carries more weight.

This is freely available information and I wish more media did cover it in a responsible manner, because this data supports that the vaccine is quite safe - we see the same thing in the larger cohort studies.

Unfortunately what we have in many western countries is a "dumbed down" populace that consumes childish media stories with very little information in them.
