Facebook's response to "they're killing people" is to point out how many people they haven't killed

YO.. THIS IS ALOTTA A LOT OF BULLSHIT

FACEBOOK: “We will not be distracted by accusations which aren’t supported by the facts. The fact is that more than 2 billion people have viewed authoritative information about COVID-19 and vaccines on Facebook, which is more than any other place on the internet.” "More than 3.3 million Americans have also used our vaccine finder tool to find out where and how to get a vaccine. The facts show that Facebook is helping save lives. Period.”

They know how to make the straight stuff go to the top and stay there, and how to purge the lies and keep them gone.

Everyone knows this.

When a person's actions have a certain effect, and once the person knows that effect will occur, if they continue to act in that way, the known result is what they intend by the action.
