The inmates are running the asylum and the foxes are guarding the henhouse
The government, media, and social media are all bound by a circuitous web of corrupt influence, misinformation, and cowardly censorship.
In each instance of censorship, Facebook has posted a notice misleading anyone who wishes to share an article into thinking that the particular points raised in the article were independently fact-checked and found to be false.

First, it's critical to note that almost no article Facebook employees censor is fact-checked by anyone;
Facebook relies on FactCheck.org, among other shady organizations, to rule on what information is admissible.

FactCheck.org is funded by a grant from The Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, which is one of the largest supporters of this project, just happens to get 15% of its assets through Johnson & Johnson stock. In other words, the vaccine companies control the flow of information about vaccines.
CEO of the foundation is none other than Richard Besser, the former acting director of the CDC under Obama and ABC News' former chief health and medical editor.
