Social media companies are “killing people” by failing to police misinformation on their platform about Covid-19 vaccines.
On Thursday, Dr.Murthy, U.S Surgeon General Vivek Murthy said misinformation about the Covid-19, deemed an “infodemic” by the world health organisation, was deadly.
Mr.Biden’s comment came a day after Dr.murthy declared misinformation about the vaccine is a threat to public health.
“Misinformation poses an imminent and insidious threat to our nation’s health,” Dr.Murthy said during remarks at the White House.
Mr.Biden, asked if he had a message for a platform like Facebook where false or misleading information about the coronavirus has spread, told reporters, “they are killing people.” “The only pandemic we have is among the unvaccinated,” he said.
