On March 15, 2020, Mark Zuckerberg privately contacted Fauci, saying, “I also wanted to share a few ideas of ways we could help you get your message out.”
On July 16, 2020, Zuckerberg privately warned Facebook executives to be cautious about the experimental mRNA vaccines, saying, “We just don’t know the long-term side effects of basically modifying people’s DNA and RNA.”
Zuckerberg then censored scientists, professors, doctors, nurses, and citizens from criticizing Fauci’s recommendations regarding lockdowns, school closures, and COVID mandates and silenced all criticism of experimental mRNA vaccines.
Facebook classified mRNA vaccine injuries as “malinformation,” meaning information that is likely true but still should be censored to prevent doubts about the experimental mRNA vaccines.
Numerous Facebook mRNA vaccine injury support groups with hundreds of thousands of members were banned.
One high-profile case involved banning George Hu’s mRNA vaccine injury support group after he, a software engineer responsible for Washington’s COVID-19 vaccine website, developed tinnitus post-inoculation.
Dr. Gregory Poland, director of the Mayo Clinic’s Vaccine Research Group, also developed tinnitus after his second mRNA vaccine dose.
Poland has called for more research into the potential connection between COVID mRNA vaccines and tinnitus.
According to the CDC’s VAERS database, over 17,000 Americans reported developing tinnitus after COVID mRNA vaccines, but Facebook banned discussing the issue.
In a 2023 podcast with Lex Fridman, Zuckerberg admitted that it was challenging to censor COVID misinformation because the scientific and medical establishment were frequently wrong, and censoring the truth undermined public trust:
“Just take some of the stuff around COVID earlier in the pandemic where there were real health implications, but there hadn’t been time to fully vet a bunch of the scientific assumptions.”
“Unfortunately, I think a lot of the kind of establishment on that kind of waffled on a bunch of facts and asked for a bunch of things to be censored that, in retrospect, ended up being more debatable or true. That stuff is really tough, right? It really undermines trust.”
