Covid-19: Vax Americana

We do all the time, which is what ASF already mentioned.
Just because we don’t respond to every complaint, or in some cases, peoples threats to leave doesn’t mean we aren’t doing our best to moderate.

 

I don't disagree with this in concept. And I actually practice this. But at some point when the offender continues to post the same argument without evidence there needs to be a line drawn and action taken.

It's fine to make arguments, but fact are facts. Just look at the discussion surrounding the start of the Delta variant. And now look at the discussion surrounding the start of the Omicron variant. There was lots of speculation as to how bad it will be, but it was all based on what was said in the medical community and the genesis of the discussion was based on primary or secondary source material. And there was plenty of restraint stated from a number of posters on not going to far into speculation or worry. Based on primary or secondary source material.

The current poster is question has NEVER posted any source material other than list of football players who have died. By contrast, a number of posters have posted information to correct his assumptions, to which he seems to have ignored based on his continued posting history. Now this is the internet, and we are a community who posters reside in at least 6 countries on two continents, and absolutely have connections well beyond that. This is a global safety question, and it highly confuses me why there is an effort to bend over backwards and allow this conspiracy to continue to be posted.

 

In the meantime please do try to bring more to the table evidence wise regarding claims of “ surges” and, and connections to Covid/Vaxxing.

people are free to believe or disbelieve what a poster claims, especially since nobody here is claiming to be a medical expert.

The onus is initially on you to back up such claims ( not the person disagreeing with you) and when dealing with a crisis issue, it does bear repeating.

It cuts both ways.

 

You still have not indicated it is a surge. You have stated that your data point is 2020. You have been multiple sources to indicate that this is not the monster you seem to want it to be. Your posting of this is going to kill people. Are you willing to take that responsibility?

 

We all should get rid of Shitbook. Deleted my account 5 years ago. First week was a bit strange, then it felt just good. This shit enslaves people and they don't even take notice.

 

When one has a larger family spread over a large area, FB is a good place to keep up with everybody. I also keep up with many of those in I knew in HS or college. But I don't check constantly...depending on events, maybe 2 or 3 times a week as a mean. Of course, I also have a restricted account so don't go down the rabbit hole on FB either.

 

I have that too, Telegram and Signal are very good to keep up with everybody.

 

I agree with that, to a point. These things need to be discussed, because often they take something that has some true, and turn it into a conspiracy.

There is a huge leap between acknowledging that the richest people have too much influence and bringing up the illuminati.

Likewise, there is a huge leap between acknowledging the risk that the vaccine may cause serious allergic reactions in some people (as happened to my sister), and talking about changes in DNA. And there is a huge leap between acknowledging that the government has been involved in questionable experiments that have led some people, particularly minorities, to mistrust them, and bringing up a world wide conspiracy to get rid of millions of people worldwide. or a conspiracy to get rid of us.

We need to separate the true from the false. Can we discuss it here? Let me start by saying that I do acknowledge that as mods we sometimes make a mistake or take a bit too long to act. But there is a huge leap between that, and some posters whining and complaining every time somebody posts something that they don't like, calling us bad people, and even having a poster say that we are either stupid or we want to see millions of people die. That's a false dichotomy, and it sounds like a conspiracy theory as well.

I prefer to err on the side of giving people a chance to give their opinions and give others the chance to respond to it. But as I said, there is a limit to that.
