Facebook to remove misinformation about coronavirus vaccines - CNBC

The company said it will "start removing false claims about these vaccines that have been debunked by public health experts on Facebook and Instagram.".

"For example, we will remove false claims that COVID-19 vaccines contain microchips, or anything else that isn't on the official vaccine ingredient list.".

"Since it's early and facts about COVID-19 vaccines will continue to evolve, we will regularly update the claims we remove based on guidance from public health authorities as they learn more," Facebook added.

Google's YouTube video-sharing service and Chinese-owned social media app TikTok have said they will remove false claims about such vaccines, while Twitter says it's working through its plans before a medically approved vaccine becomes available.
