White House press secretary Jen Psaki called a question from a Fox News reporter “loaded and inaccurate” on Friday when asked about the topic of vaccine misinformation on social media.

Fox's Peter Doocy pressed Psaki on her comments the previous day that Facebook is not doing enough to stop misinformation on the platform. Psaki had noted the White House was taking an active role in "flagging problematic posts for Facebook" in an attempt to combat misinformation.

Doocy asked Psaki on Friday how long the Biden administration has "been spying on peoples’ Facebook profiles looking for vaccine misinformation."

“Well, that was quite a loaded and inaccurate question, which I would refute," Psaki responded.

She also told the reporter to "let me finish" when interrupted.

"We’re in regular touch with a range of media outlets ... as we are in regular touch with social media platforms. This is publicly open information, people sharing information online. Just as you are all reporting information on your news stations,” she added.

Psaki had said that 12 people were responsible for roughly 65 percent of all the anti-vaccine misinformation on social media platforms. Doocy asked on Friday if those 12 people know that someone in the U.S. surgeon general’s office is going through their profile.

“I’m happy to get you the citation of where that comes from. There’s no secret list, I will tell you that these are people who were sharing information on public platforms on Facebook. Information that is traveling is inaccurate. Our biggest concern here — and I frankly think it should be your biggest concern — is the number of people who are dying around the country because they’re getting misinformation that is leading them to not take a vaccine,” Psaki said."
