Tucker Carlson and Glenn Greenwald have slammed Facebook for bowing down to a liberal mob following its decision to remove posts that it says spread misinformation about the COVID-19 vaccine. 

The Fox News host on Tuesday hit out at authorities over the handling and publicity of the COVID-19 vaccine rollout, saying it has been all 'fluff and propaganda' and compared it to 'a Diet Pepsi commercial at the Super Bowl'. 

His comments followed Facebook's decision to delete posts that it deemed to include misinformation about the vaccine - a move Tucker slammed as 'censorship'. 

Carlson argued that Americans are being discouraged from asking 'simple, straightforward questions' about the safety and possible adverse side effects of the vaccine. 

'These questions are not conspiracy theories, they're the most basic questions in a democracy. Every citizen has a right to know the answer, but instead we got fluff and propaganda,' Carlson said. 

'The media rollout for the vaccine came off like a Diet Pepsi commercial at the Super Bowl. Tons of celebrity endorsements, not a lot of science. It was totally disingenuous and naturally it had the opposite of the intended effect.'  

He went on to argue that the most 'powerful people in America' - like Facebook - have been working to make sure that no one could criticize it.
