On Sunday, Senator Ted Cruz indicted the Joe Biden government for violating the First Amendment in its push for social media firms to perform more to battle false claims about the vaccine dose, joining other conservatives who have seized on the Joe Biden government’s recent drive against COVID-19 jab misinformation in their crusade against Tech Giants.

Joe Biden, the US President, blasted social media firms over the spreading of misinformation around coronavirus jabs on their platforms. On Friday afternoon, in response to a question about his message to Big Tech about misinformation, he said they are killing people.

Biden’s remarks came a day after Vivek Murthy, US Surgeon General, declared misinformation about the shots a threat to public health and safety and, as American officials advised that severe illness and fatalities from the novel coronavirus are almost entirely avoidable because of the jabs. Biden added the only epidemic about they have is among the unimmunized.

Murthy said on Thursday misinformation about coronavirus disease, deemed as infodemic by the international public health agency WHO, was deadly.

Cruz, while speaking during an interview on Fox News’ Sunday Morning Futures, labeled the Biden’s White House push for a crackdown on shot misinformation a clear signal of their “readiness to trample on free speech,” to trample on the US Constitution.

The Texas GOP argued that the efforts to boost COVID-19 vaccine uptake, including increased public pressure on social platforms and the flagging of problematic posts, amount to evidence of administration censorship. He stated the Biden government is using the firms as a tool.

Over 3.3M US People Used A “Facebook tool” To Perceive Where To Take A Vaccine

Ted Cruz even suggested Jen Psaki, White House Press Secretary, should be on the former US President Trump’s payroll amid how much her press briefings about the jab misinformation crackdown strengthened Mr. Trump’s long-shot suit against Big Five, which he has blamed for censorship from removal from the social media sites.

Psaki said their biggest concern, and frankly, she thinks should be Americans’ biggest concern, is the number of US people dying around the nation amid getting misinformation that is leading them not to get the COVID-19 dose.

During Thursday remarks at the White House, Murthy said that vaccine misinformation poses an imminent threat to their country’s health, and they must confront misinformation as a nation. American people’s lives are depending on it.

We agree, @Surgeon_General. Combating health misinformation requires a whole-of-society approach. Thanks for your leadership.

On Friday, US officials said that the more infectious Delta variant of the SARS-CoV-2 is now the dominant strain around the world, accompanied by a surge of fatalities around America almost entirely among protected population.

United States’ COVID-19 cases are up 70 percent over the past week, and coronavirus-related deaths are up 26 percent, with outbreaks occurring in areas of the United States with low immunization rates.

Earlier on Friday, Jen Psaki also criticized Facebook Inc.

Kevin McAlister, the Facebook spokesman, said that Joe Biden’s claim was not backed with facts and that over 3.3M US people have used a “Facebook tool” to perceive where to take a vaccine. He said the facts show that social media company is helping save American’s lives. Period.

White House Press Secretary stated twelve people were accountable for nearly 65 percent of anti-jab misinformation on social media networks. That finding was reported by London- and Washington-based non-profit Center for Countering Digital Hate but the Menlo Park, California-based company has disputed the methodology.
