Yes it is. It absolutely is, because who decides what is misinformation?

I’m old enough to remember when women claimed that the Covid vaccine was messing with their menstruation and it was censored and labeled misinformation.

Turned out to be true!

My uterus is MY source. After my 2nd Moderna shot in 2021, I skipped two periods, then had short duration periods every 14-16 days, for several months.

That was some scary sh*t.

LOL "scary sht". I can see why no one took you seriously.

Let’s see if you believe in science. Linked is a study by NIH that shows the Covid vaccine caused menstrual issues.

Menstrual abnormalities after COVID-19 vaccines: A systematic review

https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC9683843/#:~:text=Conclusion,menorrhagia%2C%20metrorrhagia%2C%20and%20polymenorrhea.

OMG!!! YOU HAD SEVERAL IRREGULAR PERIODS!!! SOOOOOOOO SCARY!!!

GTFO.

Proving the point perfectly. Women are speaking up about the symptoms and getting smeared accordingly (only for a few years later, the medical establishment to say “well actually yes, there are impacts on the menstrual cycle after all that we didn’t know about or disclose in the vaccine risk factor paperwork you signed”).

+1 I was done having kids, but if I were trying to conceive, especially if I was having trouble conceiving, the months my period was erratic after the vaccine would have been a very big deal to me.

I stopped using Facebook several years ago and didn't miss it. Some small businesses only have Facebook versus a web site, and when I try to view their content Facebook wants me to log in. That's infuriating because it's usually a public page, not a private group.

It seems like Facebook use has increased versus decreasing.

I'm an Independent who thinks misinformation and conspiracy theories are going to ruin this country.

Misinformation like Biden is spry and runs circles around his young aides?

Or Hunters laptop is Russian propaganda

Or inflation is just transitory?

Or the covid vaccine will stop you from getting and transmitting the virus?

Or the border is secure?

Biden was decrepit.
Hunter Biden's laptop story was buried.
Inflation was in fact transitory.
Vaccine's absolutely prevents virus infection and transmission.
The border was deliberately opened when they abandoned the "stay in mexico policy"

So you got 3 out of 5 correct.

4 out of 5 correct. The Covid vaccine reduces the severity of symptoms; that’s it. You can most definitely still get and transmit it.

That's how ALL vaccines work, isn't it?
They gives you the antibodies to fight off virus, don't they?
I get a measles vaccine and i can still get measles.
I get a flu vaccine and i can still get the flu.
It's easier for me to fight it off because I have anti-bodies ready to go but vaccination is not immunization, is it?

Yes, but with widely different levels of effectiveness. 98%+ of people who get the measles vaccination will be immune from getting measles. For the 2% that can still get it something went wrong such that they didn’t develop an effective immune response.

The reason the Flu vaccine isn’t as effective as measles is because they create the vaccine based on a projection of what the virus will look like during flu season. If they’re close, the Flu vaccine is pretty effective, if they’re not close it’s not nearly as effective.

For Covid, having the vaccine didn’t seem to make much (if any) difference in the rates of getting or transmitting it. Biden himself went on air and said that if you get the vaccine you wouldn’t catch or transmit Covid. Disagreeing with this completely false statement would have gotten you labeled as misinformation by fact checking.

You are flat out wrong though. The Covid vax does in fact lower transmission and severity. It has been proven many times over but you are so misinformed that you cannot seem to process the basic truth. That is exactly why we need fact checking. You are making the case all by yourself.

I’m well aware that it lowers severity; I stated that. I’ve read several studies that show that it doesn’t lower transmission rates, but honestly that doesn’t actually make sense to me so I’ll assume that you’re correct and it will reduce transmission. But authorities (including the president) were saying that if you got the vaccine you couldn’t get or transmit Covid; that’s simply wrong. If you said that you got called out by fact checkers.

A big deal to you doesn’t mean it’s a big deal in the grand scheme. Your doctor would have reassured you that things would go back to normal within a few months. Women trying to conceive get a little crazy about it (I remember this when going through it myself) and sometimes lose perspective. The vaccine was not and is not a threat to women’s fertility. If you are so easily manipulated that you now have distrust in the medical community over this, you have bigger problems.

Could you please provide a quote for “authorities (including the president) were saying that if you got the vaccine you couldn’t get or transmit Covid”. I honestly don’t remember any actual expert saying that specifically. Also, there is a lot of misunderstanding when it comes to the difference between “vaccines lower transmission rates (true)” vs “vaccine mandates resulted in lower transmission rates (not necessarily true)” and I believe that if you look closely at whatever study you are referencing then you will see that key point.

Free speech is a two-way street. You can say whatever you want, but people are free to challenge what you've said and call it out for bullshit. You don't want "free speech", you want consequence-free speech.

Disagree. Meta/FB created Reels to compete with tiktok. It has struggled partly bc the TikTok algorithm is better and partly bc now it sounds like Reels prioritizes paid content/monetization. If you watch Zuckerberg over the years he has been frustrated that he couldn’t compete and then about a year or so ago started campaigning against TikTok. Whether you like FB/Meta or believe TikTok is a security risk is (IMO) irrelevant. Meta has been lobbying for a very specific ban so they are not subject to data privacy laws but get rid of their competition. Other wealthy policymakers (looking at you Mnuchin) went along with it bc they wanted to try to buy TikTok. Is it coincidence that Zuck made this announcement shortly after Trump indicated he might “intervene” in the TikTok case and Zuck visited Mar a Lago? No. It has nothing to do with what is good or best for America and everything to do with corporate lobbying and greedy capitalism. Congress needs to pass legislation codifying Americans’ data privacy rights.

Two sides of the same coin:

- Misinformation
- censorship (aka free speech, but not for everybody)

I wish people would stop seeing debate as a marker of disloyalty.

Agree 100%. Lawmakers are o far behind on this. Yet little people like me have been saying this for long time now. Especially since things like access to bank and medical records (ans later more) became accessible online without our consent making us more susceptible to all kinds of financial and identity issues.

Sigh...people are so naive. You know what a Lobbyist is? You know how rich they are?

Big businesses are not just businesses anymore. They hold a lot of sway and get to make money in many ways beyond their original service/product offerings. I'll leave it at that

Don’t get me wrong; I’m not against the covid vaccine; I got two and a booster. I just think the benefits were overstated, and anybody saying anything along those lines were censored.
