The vast majority of Covid-19 anti-vaccine misinformation and conspiracy theories originated from just 12 people, a report by the Center for Countering Digital Hate (CCDH) cited by the White House this week found.
CCDH, a UK/US non-profit and non-governmental organization, found in March that these 12 online personalities they dubbed the “disinformation dozen” have a combined following of 59 million people across multiple social media platforms, with Facebook having the largest impact. CCDH analyzed 812,000 Facebook posts and tweets and found 65% came from the disinformation dozen. Vivek Murthy, US surgeon general, and Joe Biden focused on misinformation around vaccines this week

Was Anthony Fauci one of the 12 leading sources of misinformation? If not, this is a bogus story.

I'm sorry, but can you define what that disinformation is? I quickly read the article I'll admit but saw no detail of the accused other than a Kennedy (ok they're all guilty of something) or of their pseudoscience. More straw man witch hunts from this oppressive *resident's marxist administration.
Go ahead - knock on my door. You'll get a face full of life free of die.

These vaccines have not passed the FDA. Therefore, it is NOT considered safe and effective. The guy who created the mRNA technology has said, they are not safe and effective.
The Biden Administration is simply warning these people that if you don't shut up, you are going to disappear...

So JFK Jr. was one of the twelve, Salam? Who does this center of countering digital hate claim are the other 11? Sounds to me like a slew of slander lawsuits are a coming.
Why do we keep posting this kind of garbage on L.com?

Actually, 90% of all COVID misinformation came from a handful of people, the majority from one, Anthony Faucu.

First of all, how fortunate there are only 12 bad guys out there who could become the "disinformation dozen". What in the world would they have done if there'd been 13? The "titillating 13"?
Second, my info comes from the CDC, the tellers of all that's true.(/s) The vaccine adverse reaction database is very informative indeed. A lot of people have been killed outright by the vax. But more interesting is overlaying the graph of the vaccine program with the "other" death database, the one that has nothing to do with vax. There is a huge continuing spike in that "other" death database that precisely mirrors the vax ramp up. As of late June, the graphs were marvelously in synch. Now ain't THAT a coincidence??? "Coincidence" and "cooking the books" both begin with "c". That's the only coincidence i will entertain on this subject.
I swim in an ocean of lies and mendacity, and I am getting sick and tired of it. When will somebody get up and tell the truth? My government lies to me, the media lies to me, the politicians lie over their shoulder as they run for cover. Meanwhile, there are now THREE therapeutics for the Chinese biowarfare release that the NIAID(sic) didn't pay for.(/s) And the CDC won't acknowledge any of them. Why? WHY? W H Y????? Is there something in that vax we don't know about?? Who would I ask?
EVERYBODY IS LYING!!!!!

It was THE VIRUS, the " undermined the livelihood of millions of Americans workers and families" ........black Latino and Native American families ( of course ) hit hardest. No, it was the individual state governments that screwed their citizens on purpose and in some states continue to do so with the heavy hand of the current administration. No dissent allowed, agenda uber alles.

BLM, Antifa, LGBT, and other activists have no members. All are funded from Democrat slush money, or leftist billionaires. None of their so called leaders have been elected, as there is no one to elect them. BTW, it seems almost all of the vaccine misinformation comes from two sources, the government and the pharmaceutical companies making billions on them.

Never heard of any of them.
They start with censoring these then censor every one else because they've developed the habit.

They never argue against anything said in any of the articles. They have never said any of it is untrue. They just label anything they don't want people to mention as misinformation. It nice when your party owns the media.

Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., is the son of Robert Kennedy. His website:https://childrenshealthdefense.org
LifeSite News, where Dr. Mercola and others are published, is anti-abortion and strongly for the prevention of harm to children. It has also been judged by its critics to be anti-LGBT etc.

So if you do not agree with experimental medicine you are now misinformed. The truth of the matter is that the vaccine is not approved by the FDA for a reason and why people should be cancelled for waiting for proof that it is effective and safe should be cancelled is disgusting. What is worse they want to force vaccinations and if someone has a debilitating or deadly after-effect there is no recourse for their family. Is this what we are coming to? That is not what the men in my family fought for in the past 3 wars.

I don't recognize a single name on that list except for RFK, Jr. Ironically, he's one I'm least likely to listen to because he's such a flake. What I've been listening to is my friends who have (1) had bad reactions themselves, (2) relatives who've had bad reactions, and (3) friends who've died after taking the vaccine. The bad reactions include blood clots, myocarditis, unexplained spikes in blood pressure, weeks of serious illness, and at least one unexplained death.

It's the fear-mongers in the mainstream media who have been misinforming the public. They have not factored into the equation the existence of natural immunity - almost none of them mention the immune system and its natural ability to defend the body from pathogens. It's always the virus they're interested in talking about and not the immune system.
It appears to be orchestrated fear-mongering and a deliberate omission of facts.

The vast majority of misinformation about Covid has been spread by Fauci, Birx, Psaki, Xiden and that ugly dimwit that runs CDC. Fakebook and the rest of socialist media are just willing parrots for their work. From there, millions of Karens fan out and regurgitate what the Felonious Five shovel.

At our plant, a technician, in his early 50's, had to leave work Friday because of a reaction to the second COVID shot. Will keep you posted.

It all depends upon how one defines "misinformation." I only know of two sources, the White House and the CDC, with a little guidance from China.

To posters 16 & 17 but to all .... If you use Brave or a browser that blocks ads, it will block the slideshow of the 12 Enemies of the State on Covid.
I use brave but went to Chrome (which I have loaded but don't prefer) so I could see the slide show. Yes, everyone is listed there with enough selectively chosen posts to make most of the 12 look bad.
