Why do you think people should or shouldn't know about the side effects of the COVID vaccine?locked

I've seen a video talking about the leaked Facebook files where it says they should remove true information about side effects. It says Facebook should remove:

True information:

a. Delta: The Surgeon General wants us to remove true information about side effects.

Why do you think people should or shouldn't know about the side effects of the COVID vaccine?

There are people questioning the veracity of the quote so I've searched a bit and found some sources.

I’ve tried posting about the side effects a few times but it always gets downvoted to oblivion, so I guess most people don’t want anyone to know about the side effects and want the government to censor that information, but I don’t understand why.

Because everything you've posted here is bullshit. The mRNA COVID vaccines have been widely available for 2+ years now and it's definitively shown to have saved many lives without serious side effects.

I've been told god knows how many times now by internet idiots (yes, you're an idiot OP), that I will get autism, be mind controlled, get diseases worse than covid, and my favorite - literally melt.

That was all supposed to happen within a year of getting it. Oh wait, no within 2 years Oh wait, now within 5 years You know what, I bet 100 years after I got it I'll probably be dead, then they'll see! Then they'll all see! Did you know that 100% of the people who get the vaccine will die??!?!

Side effects do exist , better education about the actual risks would prevent lies which find traction in the reality that meaningful side effects exist but everyone says "definitively shown to have saved many lives without serious side effects."

I get that there are extremely rare side effects for certain individuals, there's no such thing as a perfect medication afterall. But OP here is clearly either trying to be a troll or peddling conspiracy bs and it's not worth anyone's time to engage with them beyond telling them that they're full of shit.

There are people reporting serious side effects you just haven't been able to learn about them since the US government is censoring even true information about the side effects as proven in the leaked papers.

Take your blatant conspiracy theory bullshit elsewhere.

Hurr durr gubment made the fregs gay. Grow up.
