Not saying this justifies anything, but at least the reasoning for the high false positive rate is simple.

Facebook gets a lot of bad PR for having lots of misinformation.

It makes sense from a business perspective to overcorrect, because general public is way more angry about potential misinformation than people having their normal posts taken down.

Again, not saying it’s justified, but having 1 major anti-vaccine post get through would be way worse for public image then 100 Christmas greetings being taken down and then corrected.
