Facebook is super broken - COViD19 Misinformation on a page

 

  If Facebook was a person, I would give them an angry look and clench my fists.. like really hard and look at them in a not-so-nice way. Yeah.

     The above message from Facebook is but one of many messages I've got reporting comments for "False Health Information" on news articles posted by verified local news organizations. This comment in particular, was some Microsoft paint level info graph that outlined how the Vaccine kills you, and that COViD is fake, with a picture of Biden with a swastika on his head, holding a dead baby. This post specifically, an article on the number of deaths at a local hospital, with statistics on how many people have died, listing number of those dead who are vaccinated and unvaccinated, and their age and some other random stats was very plainly said and informational. These updates were also released on the hospital's Facebook Page the same day for everyone to take a look at. It was very easy to see how this would go very, very wrong. Yes, I live in Florida. 

Sad right? Not according to Karen it's not! Thanks Biden.

     Instead of worrying about the dead piled up like cordwood in the parking lots at the hospital, which there are pictures of in said news story of refrigerated trailers with steel drawers full of bodies; anti-vaxxers swarm to the comments to post their rhetoric and extreme conspiracy theories on the full transparent stats released by the hospital group. The comments range from racist to just cruel and horrible, and then back again. See some examples below:

Like my Scribbles of Protection +1?

     I copied and pasted those from that very same article. On other posts there are tons of YouTube links, garbage links to bogus medical websites, and fake info graphs saying millions of people have died thanks to the Vaccine. Lots of housewives posting things like, "I know someone..", and then some bullshit story about how they died or worse from getting vaccinated. I see one wonderful example of a human explaining to all that will hear how to take horse paste safely, and how to give it to your children. When I click on these accounts, they have no public information, do not live in the South Florida Area, and only history on the internet is constant and very consistent posts on social media articles. As a matter of fact, the same 20 or so people have been commenting on every post with dumb opened ended questions, never replying when called out, but are VERY consistent. I followed one gentlemen and reported all his fake health and science posts, over 20 on different pages, and his terrorist comments that he going to cause unrest, and every single time I got a message like the above, that Facebook would NOT take the posts down, that they do not go against their posting policy. However, according to Facebutt and other sources, they are working taking these accounts down.  More lies? I think so. 

Zuck Data Accumulator 5000 powers on for the first time.

     I have some questions. Does Facebook give a fuck anymore? I can't go a single day without seeing an article make national news that Facebook is getting tough on misinformation. Bullshit. Full fucking bullshit. Facebook is contacting news outlets and writing their own stories. I'm telling you, there are doing NOTHING to remove the false information, fake accounts and terriorist-like health threats on their platform. I report them all. Nothing. Someone is literally selling horsepaste on the Facebook Marketplace, I reported it every time I saw it, and it's still there. The same 20ish people, posting on every single thing with garbage questions with a questionable Facebook profile. Even "famous" people are getting in on it. 

This guy is a fucking loser.

     JP Sears, the guy who made Youtube videos making fun of vegans, gluten intolerance, and the whole crunchy hippie essential oil culture is using his social media following to promote anti-vax statements, and anti-government propaganda. The comments are pure lunacy, with every kind of conspiracy theory you could dream of. The Adventures of Baron Von Munchhausen seems tame compared to this. News sites have been picking up on his garbage, but no one seems to care. His youtube videos stay up, and every discussion he starts about the subject does not get removed. He is spreading misinformation to millions of people per day, and no one is doing anything about it. He even has a post that has a full discussion thread on where his followers are going to meet and carry out "Civil Unrest". At the time of this writing, people in the comments are organizing meeting up, which guns they are going to bring, and where they are "Going to hit next." What the fuck? I can't make this up, click the link above and look at the replies. Some people, once fans of his sarcastic dead pan videos, have taken to the comments as well to ask what in the hell is going on. 

See something missing from this graphic? Its only 75%. That's because the other 25% not represented are absolutely out of their fucking minds. 

     Confirmation bias is the elephant in the room.. right? Call them what you want. Trumpers/Anti-Vax/Anti-science/Conspiracy Theorists.. etc. They all have one thing in common: Extreme confirmation bias. The people that want to believe something that is not true or supported by known research and science with interpret, translate and only recall the things the things that support their belief in said thing. Not to be outdone, scientists have been researching and drawing conclusions on the beliefs on confirmation bias, and how to mitigate that when dealing with the vaccine. These scientists are under the firm assumption that we can clear up this bias with enough education and transparency, which is just fine, but they forgot one thing: That Facebook Anti-vaxxers are an entirely different breed of fucking stupid. CDC, hold my beer.

Let's wrap this up. 

    Darwin is smiling down from above as the world fixes itself, which in a way is cruel magnificent poetic justice; Karma for the ones that believe it. The ultimate way to prove a point is here for the taking, just remove the ones that do not conform in perpetual eventuality. Flawed decisions from organizational, financial and faux-science contexts blurs reality on a massive scale we have never seen before. Social media's filter bubble only showing the people what they are interested in, ironically mostly just displaying something they are likely to agree with, which are rarely opposing viewpoints. The technology of social media let's you herd in with like-minded folks, where you don't have to understand any other point of view, or care for that matter. This in particular has hurt society on a scale that no one expected, except maybe Bill Gates. 

Get vaxxed fuckers!
