In that time, public opinion shifted. People began to feel that tech companies were not just neutral hosts; they bore some responsibility for what their algorithms circulated.

Survey data can’t prove conclusively whether using Facebook affects vaccine acceptance and resistance. However, the data can indicate whether people who get their news from Facebook have higher or lower vaccination rates than those who don’t.
I think that this statement is simpler than it presents itself, but ultimately one that has great value in truth. Ultimately with the information at hand, Facebook cannot speak on the vaccination rates to the entirety of America. But they can say whether those surveyed have been vaccinated or not. The survey should be met with scepticism.
