New York Instagram said Thursday it will now block additional hashtags that surface vaccine misinformation, but other hashtags and content promoted by anti-vaccination accounts are still thriving on the platform.
The change in Instagram's policies comes after a CNN Business report on Wednesday which revealed that, though Instagram had announced it was blocking hashtags like #VaccinescauseAIDS, the hashtag #VaccinesKill was still up on the app and appeared as a top result in a search for"vaccines" after anti-vax accounts. The majority of the top posts under the hashtag were misinformation. #VaccinesKill is now a blocked hashtag.
Only ignorant people think vaccines kill
Taking medical advice from Instagram...Seriously? Smh

Stop with the poison propaganda!!
This ant-vaccine movement is just a propaganda tool to do as much harm to the USA as possible by our many enemies and revolutionists.
Okay, well if you take your medical advice from Instagram, there’s something wrong with you.

Media platforms funneling thoughts, ideas, and beliefs into a single narrative is going to be a much bigger problem in the future than measles. Fascism
