Defining “health misinformation” would be up to the president’s Health secretary, who also issues public health emergencies. On Friday, President Biden said Facebook and other social media platforms were “killing people” by helping spread misinformation about Covid-19 vaccines. That’s how many Facebook Groups are promoting misinformation about Covid-19 vaccines, according to a report released Tuesday by Media Matters, a liberal media watchdog.
