You mean censoring people who have a different opinion to you?Admin, is there not a responsibility to call this out and just ban any anti vaxxers spouting their rubbish on here?

There's a difference between opinion and spreading false information which in a situation like this could be very dangerous.You mean censoring people who have a different opinion to you?
But that, like your point about CDC is incorrect. Vaccination is a proven technology. We know how it works. The vaccines have all been thoroughly tested.It's fair to say that they are unproven
No to stop people spreading lies that can affect the health of thousands of people.You mean censoring people who have a different opinion to you?
He has a difference of opinion and is entitled to it. He isn't being nasty or saying he is 100% right, he is entitled to question and open debate on things (and rightly so).There's a difference between opinion and spreading false information which in a situation like this could be very dangerous.
In this instance, then censoring is required, this disinformation is costing lives.You mean censoring people who have a different opinion to you?
CDC and CDC Foundation work in tandom - is that correct?But that, like your point about CDC is incorrect.
A lot of it isn't opinion though.He has a difference of opinion and is entitled to it. He isn't being nasty or saying he is 100% right, he is entitled to question and open debate on things (and rightly so).
I think the political rhetoric used in this country has folks not knowing whether they’re coming or going! This combined with American terminology being shoehorned into the conversation makes for something akin to George Orwell’s newspeak! Everything is so divisive Brexit, leftist, rightist, pro jab, anti vax.. the only ones that miss out are the people. Regardless of which side of the fence you think your shouting from.. we’re all just sheep in a pen bleating away!This report is for the USA where it is the right wingers that are vaccine sceptic. And it's the more centrist Democrats that are now in power.
Here in the the UK it tends to be the more liberalist left wingers that are not getting the vaccine.
In either case the anti-vaccers did not vote for their respective governments.
No, I don't mean that at all. Everyone is entitled to their opinion but spreading false information about a vaccine, which is evidently saving lives during a pandemic, is just wrong. The social media platforms haven't done enough to curb this but I think there's a duty to call it out. IMO there should be a zero tolerance approach to it and should include banning posters who spread this misinformation - whether they see themselves as lying or not.You mean censoring people who have a different opinion to you?
That's obviously not what I'm saying. I'm quite clearly saying don't spread ignorant bull**** that might cost peoples lives. Have the courtesy towards others to keep your gob shut.so don't question anything and pretend everything is a bed of roses.
i'll state it again for you please have the vaccine SJB.
i agree and that works both waysThat's obviously not what I'm saying. I'm quite clearly saying don't spread ignorant bull**** that might cost peoples lives. Have the courtesy towards others to keep your gob shut.
It’s this idea of opinions being held in the same regard as facts which can be backed up by evidence.No, I don't mean that at all.

The social media platforms haven't done enough to curb this but I think there's a duty to call it out. IMO there should be a zero tolerance approach to it and should include banning posters who spread this misinformation - whether they see themselves as lying or not.
The only thing i will add please don't ask anybody to keep their gob shut.
IMO I completely disagree with you. Not following blindly the official narrative on everything and daring to question does not equate to censorship and being silenced. Everyone is entitled to their opinion, even if you disagree with it, especially on a public forum.No, I don't mean that at all.

So it's OK to spread lies and false information?
No - shut the **** up - keep your gob SHUT
Then you have to provide something, give people reason to question the official narrative, you can't just say "in my opinion" when faced with facts.IMO I completely disagree with you. Not following blindly the official narrative on everything and daring to question does not equate to censorship and being silenced.

You don't understand the value of keeping schtum?i agree and that works both ways
The only thing i will add please don't ask anybody to keep their gob shut.
You don't understand the value of keeping schtum?
Are you the sort who at a funeral says to the grieving relatives it's all bull**** this god business you know.
Accept the limitations of your knowledge and keep your gob shut. Careless talk costs lives.
No it's not ok to spread lies and false information - I think we all agree on that.
Other than that thanks for your input RH it's very enlightening
i've read everything RH and i've taken on board everything that was written down.You don't need my input - I don't have the patience to write it - just read (and try to understand) all the huge amounts of well-articulated and excellent advice that many good people have spent a lot of time writing directly to you on this very thread.
Read and understand
It's really not hard, there are some excellent explanations done really well and I take my hat off to them for taking the time to do it
