Facebook Anti-Vaxxers Falsely Attributing Deaths To Vaccines Despite Family Protestations

[Mrs. Claw]

There are several cases on Facebook where they are not only not removing anti-vaccination posts, but allowing to stand complete falsehoods about the circumstances of one’s demise.

Case 1, Hadley Huffman.


This is the response to that post-

It got so bad her Grandmother had to clarify on her deceased Granddaughter’s post:

Then after being informed that it was not the vaccine, by the young lady’s grandmother, we find this exchange from total strangers:


Case 2, the late Dr. Thomas Flanagan. Also found on #covidvaccinevictims hashtag.


Then in the comments we find this:


Facebook is not doing a great job. Type in any kind of random anti-vaccine hashtags at all, and you will find dozens of dubious posts, some flat making up the circumstances of a person’s death, even arguing with the family over the circumstances.

These are not isolated. They are part of a larger issue of rampant misinformation spreading faster than we can vaccinate.

So yes, they should be called out and yes they should be held accountable for the damage and hurt they allow. This is just two of many, and some of the comments are just beyond any reason whatsoever.

1. Ugh ! Deplorable people

2. If these FB morons are that stupid, then I have no pity. They were warned...

...and yet FB does a horrific job of policing these false, lethal postings. I would personally LOVE to see a few of these anti-vaxxers sued out of existence. Maybe then it will hit home. Doubtful, but you cannot fix stupid.

3. Why? WTAF is wrong with these 'people'?

Do they seek pseudo-fame so much that they are willing to fabricate things about recently deceased people and argue with their survivors for a some "likes" or "retweets" or other such nonsensical bullshit?

Do these people have a soul?

When a human being loses their connection to reality and becomes an actual threat to the lives of unknown others, should Facebook and the other platforms NOT be just as guilty as the bar that over-serves a drunk patron who later kills?

Its NOT a resource or 'free-speech' issue...its a greed issue, they WANT it this way. I am forever banned from Twitter because I tweeted wishes for Trump to have a fatal stroke. No action, no threat to cause said stroke...just ill tidings to an out of control rabid dog of a human. I lost my mother in November to maladies and cancer but accelerated and finished off by COVID-19. She passed alone. Cut off from family and friends. If I COULD cause a stroke to Trump, believe me you...he would be cold and stiff and gone already.

But that is not my point here...Twitter and Facebook and the rest of the internet sewer have tracking data on EVERYTHING that they fucking SELL to finance things like their enormous fortunes and ludicrous lifestyles.

Fuck them. They CAN stop this shit...they CHOOSE not to and it is killing people. Those who do this should pay, but those who facilitate and amplify it for profit should be equally accountable and should pay as well.
