Facebook CEO on enforcing office vaccine mandate: "Employees are required to be honest"
CBSN
Facebook and other social media companies are facing challenges in fighting vaccine misinformation and vaccine hesitancy while trying to plan a safe return to the office as the pandemic drags on.
"CBS This Morning" co-host Gayle King spoke exclusively with Facebook CEO and co-founder Mark Zuckerberg about the platform's efforts to handle the issue of misinformation, as well as what Facebook is doing to protect its own employees amid the pandemic. One of the ways the company is keeping employees safe is by delaying plans to return to the office from this October to January 2022. "I think the numbers that we're seeing around this Delta variant with COVID are pretty concerning, right? They're growing. And it just underscores I think the importance of you know, everyone getting vaccinated to help get this under control," Zuckerberg said.Ashley White received her earliest combat action badge from the United States Army soon after the first lieutenant arrived in Afghanistan. The silver military award, recognizing soldiers who've been personally engaged by an attacker during conflict, was considered an achievement in and of itself as well as an affirming rite of passage for the newly deployed. White had earned it for using her own body to shield a group of civilian women and children from gunfire that broke out in the midst of her third mission in Kandahar province. All of them survived. She never mentioned the badge to anyone in her battalion.
