Instagram fact-checks the implications of one of Fauci's Emails: PolitiFact fact-checked an Instagram post that depicted an email sent from Dr. Adam Gaetner to Dr. Anthony Fauci. The email's subject line read "Coronavirus bioweapon production method" and the first line was "This is how the virus was created." Gaetner, who according to USA Today describes himself as an "independent researcher," proceeded to explain the scientific process that Gaetner believes chemically created virus. PolitiFact pointed out that Gaetner does not provide supporting evidence to prove the lab leak hypothesis he puts forth. The fact-check article went on with an attempt to discredit Gaetner because of his skepticism about COVID-19 vaccines and his support of Ivermectin as a COVID-19 therapy. The post was flagged for "missing context" because the email might imply "early agreement that virus was man-made." Fact-checked posts lose exposure on Facebook feeds as they are negatively affected by the platform's algorithm. According to Facebook, users fail to click through a fact-check interstitial to see the post 95% of the time. Instagram, owned by Facebook, likely sees a similar effect.
