Facebook has announced to expand its efforts to remove false claims on its own platform and Instagram about Covid-19 and its vaccines.

The expanded list of false Covid-19 and vaccine-related claims that will be removed include: Covid-19 is man-made; vaccines are not effective at preventing the disease they were created to protect against; it's safer to get a disease than to get its vaccine and vaccines are dangerous, toxic, or cause autism, among others.
