当地时间8月5日,Facebook有史以来第一次删除了特朗普发布的帖子,称其正在传播和疫情相关的虚假信息。
特朗普在这个帖子中分享了一段自己接受福克斯采访的视频,视频中的他正言之凿凿的表示“儿童对新冠病毒完全免疫”。
对此,Facebook回应称,“没有特定的人群能对病毒完全免疫,特朗普的视频是在传播有害的虚假信息,这严重违反了平台的有关政策。”
除了Facebook,特朗普也在推特上发布了这条视频。目前,这条视频也依然能够在推特上正常播放。虽然前一阵子推特的“Fact-check”事件闹得沸沸扬扬,但这一次推特并没有立即置评。
值得注意的是,Facebook这次的措施相当强硬,没有再像以往一样在帖子上打警告标签,而是直接选择删帖。
早前,也有一些研究发现儿童更不易感、病状更轻,但这显然和特朗普说的“完全免疫”是两码事。
美国疾控中心(CDC)今年4月发布的一项针对2500名新冠肺炎儿童患者的研究成果发现,儿童的死亡率较低,这2500名儿童患者中仅有3人死亡,且需要入院治疗的重症患者比例也控制在 1/5以内。在同样的情况下,成年患者的入院比例是1/3。虽然该项研究的样本数量尚不完整,但它的确表明,大多数受感染的儿童是无症状患者,具有极高的传染风险。(财富中文网)

Facebook has deleted a post by President Donald Trump for the first time, saying it violated its policy against spreading misinformation about the coronavirus
The post in question featured a link to a Fox News video in which Trump says children are “virtually immune” to the virus.
Facebook said Wednesday that the “video includes false claims that a group of people is immune from COVID-19 which is a violation of our policies around harmful COVID misinformation.”
A tweet from Trump with the same video remained up on Twitter as of Wednesday afternoon. That's even though Twitter has been quicker than Facebook in recent months in labeling posts from the president that violate its policies against misinformation and abuse. Twitter did not have an immediate comment.
This is the first time that Facebook has removed a post from Trump entirely, rather than labeling it, as it has done in the past.
Several studies suggest, but don’t prove, that children are less likely to become infected than adults and more likely to have only mild symptoms. But this is not the same as being “virtually immune” to the virus.
A CDC study involving 2,500 children published in April found that about 1 in 5 infected children were hospitalized versus 1 in 3 adults; three children died. The study lacks complete data on all the cases, but it also suggests that many infected children have no symptoms, which could allow them to spread the virus to others.
