LONDON - The World Health Organization said on Thursday it welcomed a commitment by Facebook that it would direct users seeking vaccine information on its Instagram, Facebook Search, Groups and other forums towards facts, not misinformation.
"Vaccine misinformation is a major threat to global health that could reverse decades of progress made in tackling preventable diseases," it said. Deadly infectious diseases such as measles, diphtheria, hepatitis, polio, cholera and yellow fever can all be prevented with immunization, it noted. The WHO says vaccines are one of the most powerful innovations in public health history and estimates that they save at least 2 million lives every year worldwide.

WHO partners with Facebook stop the spread of inaccurate vaccine informationThe World Health Organization said the spread of inaccurate vaccine information is 'a major threat to global health that could reverse decades of progress made in tackling preventable diseases.' Stop the spread of poor grammar first I thought Facebook's corporate mission was to spread disinformation. I can’t stand that big tech wants to control your thinking. They do this with politics as well.

Michigan becomes first state to ban sales of flavored e-cigarettesMichigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer directed the state's department of health and human services to issue emergency rules to ban the sale of flavored nicotine vaping products in stores and online. Well congratulations, now there is another black market money maker🤦♂️ Where’s their dislike button on this thing? Fucking stupid. Think of the revenue it might have generated. If people want it, they will just get it other ways or go elsewhere. State coffers/public weal might as well have seen a piece of the action.

Michigan Just Became the First State to Ban Flavored Vapes. Will It Actually Work?Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer enacted a temporary ban of flavored e-cigarette cartridges, meant to curb teen use amid a nationwide rash of vape-related health problems Dumb. backed by tobacco lobbyists, she had disenfranchised countless constituents, and will destroy many mom and pop businesses and their families. hopefully no other state makes the same mistake GovWhitmer 👏🏼They may not appreciate it now, but T.Y. for helping to save lives! Anything to deter ppl frm vaping is a good thing. It’s the next opioid crisis. Countless ppl are ending up in hosp & have no concept of potential of long term effects bc it’s so new. Proud I🗳for u!
