For years, Facebook has been a big platform for the anti-vaccination movement, and that’s increased with the arrival of the COVID vaccines. Facebook says it wants to do better now. CEO Mark Zuckerberg announced a plan on Monday to help 50 million people get vaccinated. He said Facebook will create a tool to help people find vaccination appointments at local sites and fight misinformation on its platform.
