I don't have a FB account and never needed one.
Eventhough connecting with others through whatever platform is usually wonderful and a luxury they didn't exist a few decades ago, when these platforms loose their purpose they need to be CANCELLED
I.e let the platform die off.
Alternative platforms should emerge and nobody needs Facebook if they are to suppress information and censor citizens and scientist.

I jumped on FB years ago when my kids went off to school, etc and I could still be a part of their lives thru their posts, (most of which I Approved) plus seeing friends lives and exploits....oh and a cat vid here and there...and I even posted some of my artwork and photos.
I'm not saying everyone should be like me, but in my opinion its too bad people turned FB into an opinion/comment/rant on all things political/social.
Was there anything about immunology, infectious disease, coronaviruses, public health, or anything similar? Funny, but I must have missed it. In fact, as Gideon Meyerowitz-Katz has pointed out, very little has been published in this “journal” since 2016, and at least half of it was published by members of the editorial board, all of which raises red flags for this being an ideology journal disguised as a medical journal:
Unfortunately, in the age of the pandemic, most of these problems just don’t apply in the way that Dr. Malhotra thinks that they do. For instance, COVID-19 cranks (like Dr. Malhotra) take advantage of the low quality and reliability of a lot of medical research to contribute even more to that low reliability by publishing propaganda in journals like The Journal of Insulin Resistance. Indeed, I once called this phenomenon scientific review articles weaponized as disinformation, a label that describes Dr. Malhotra’s two part “narrative review” quite well.
Looking back at both articles, it’s clear to me that the first article was intended to sow doubt about COVID-19 vaccines through the use of a compelling anecdote about his father followed by cherry-picked data. As much as I might feel sorry for Dr. Malhotra because of his loss, I cannot allow that feeling to prevent my directly addressing his misuse of the anecdote of his father’s death to spread fear, uncertainty, and doubt about vaccines. The second article is more of a generalized antivaccine rant that uses tried and untrue techniques that try to paint big pharma and government regulatory entities as so completely corrupt (as well as ideology- and profit-driven) that they ignore evidence of harm.

Dr Malhotra used the insulinresistance organisation to promote his own personal quest because of the death of his father Dr Kailash Chand.
This Doctor, David H. Gorski, MD, PhD, FACS wrote a very good article about the issues with Dr Malhotra on The Science Based Medicine Organisation website posted 3rd October 2022.

Yes anyone who challenges the narrative has some agenda. How did you discover it? Let's go over each one of the thousands of people.

One of the companies I worked for insisted we have social media accounts Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Tik Tok, and others.
It does have some useful features but even business-wise, I'm not sure its positives outweigh the negatives. Many say they don't read it all, or have time to even look at it. So where initially you think you are able to communicate directly to the owner, many times they aren't even paying attention.

His argument has not been refuted at all.
It has just been dismissed by you as it goes against your beliefs.
There is a big difference.

Doctor Malhotra seemed happy to use facebook right up until they acted in a way that affected him personally.
