Cited by news agency Reuters, the ministry revealed that at its request, the social media giant barred four groups over the weekend that allegedly spread texts, photographs and videos with “deliberately mendacious content designed to mislead about coronavirus vaccines.”

Some of those claims alleged that the vaccines would inject chips into recipients’ bodies, in order for the government to be able to track them, as well as poisoning and subjecting recipients to medical experimentations, according to the ministry.
