White House wants Facebook to censor posts claiming COVID vaccines cause infertility

The Biden administration approached Facebook and other social media companies about taking down posts that claimed coronavirus vaccines cause infertility.

“It shouldn’t come as any surprise that we’re in regular touch with social media platforms, just like we’re in regular touch with all of you and your media outlets,” White House press secretary Jen Psaki told reporters on Friday when asked to elaborate on comments she and Surgeon General Vivek Murthy made at Thursday’s briefing on the matter. “We are regularly making sure social media platforms are aware of the latest narratives, dangerous to public health, that we and many other Americans are seeing across all of social and traditional media.”
