Louis Farrakhan, the influential leader of the Nation of Islam, continued his crusade against the coronavirus vaccines over the weekend, calling the vaccine a “vial of death” during remarks at the extremist group’s convention, where other speakers falsely claimed that the vaccines have caused more than 900 deaths.

Videos of the convention, which was held for the Nation of Islam’s annual Saviours’ Day, are posted on the group’s Twitter, Facebook and YouTube pages, despite the social media companies’ policies against vaccine-related misinformation.

“By rushing so fast to get something out, bypassing normal steps in a true vaccine, now God is going to turn your vaccine into death in a hurry,” Farrakhan said at the end of a plenary session held on Saturday.

“It is death itself, created by what you call ‘Warp Speed,'” Farrakhan also said, referring to the U.S. government’s project, Operation Warp Speed, to develop a vaccine for the virus.
...
Farrakhan, 87, falsely accused Fauci last year of plotting with Bill Gates to use a coronavirus vaccine to “depopulate the Earth.”

Nation of Islam published videos from its program on Facebook, Twitter and Youtube, all of which have enacted policies aimed at blocking misinformation about coronavirus and the vaccines.

Twitter announced Monday that it is implementing a system that tracks vaccine misinformation and will flag content that claims that COVID-19 vaccines are “part of a deliberate or intentional attempt to cause harm or control populations.”

Facebook announced Feb. 8 that it would be removing posts that contain several categories of false claims about coronavirus or the vaccines. The social media giant said it will remove posts claiming that vaccines are not effective against preventing the virus, that it would be safer to get the virus than the vaccine, and that “vaccines are toxic, dangerous or cause autism.”

Neither company responded to requests seeking comment.
