These vaccines have shown to have harmful side effects. You as a moderator threaten to ban him because he calls it a poison?
If such vaccines harms or kills you, I call that a poison. I question your ability as a moderator on APC at this point.

He has the right to call this vaccine a poison as much as you have the right to call it the savior of humanity.

And thanks to the last 4 yr administration, misinformation and fake news rule public opinions. How pathetic is it the vaccinated versus anti-vax picture largely resembles (political) vote maps for Trump vs Dems. Sad.
The misinformation didn't start with the side you think. Remember when it was called the "Trump vaccine" and all your favorite political stars said there was no way they would get this vaccine "made" by Trump? There is plenty of blame to go around.

I think this is a terrible position to take. Banning opposition speech never seems like a good idea.

I can't wait for the tv ads in ten years from law firms.."If you got a Covid vaccine in 2021, you may be eligible for compensation.". Get the vaccine, don't get the vaccine but I'll be damned if I'll be forced to have to carry a card saying I'm safe. If you trust the vaccine and subsequent booster shots, good for you. I scratch my head why you still feel unsafe around me.

Being around for a few decades, yeah, you can call that "well proven"

But the COVID-19 vaccine has been around a matter of months.... that is HARDLY "well proven"

False equivalency. None of that is airborne, spreads, and can infect another person.

You don't have to worry about that anymore - you have the vaccine. Why do you care what he does if you have the vaccine?

Rights on a private forum.


He’s a doing a good job keeping the misinformation from spreading. It’s not a poison. Moderna and Pfizer have been extremely safe. JJ was one that had potential clot issues, but it’s been cleared. If you’re that concerned, get the Pfizer or Moderna. Before the end of the year, it looks like Pfizer will get the regulator use approval (and not just the current EUA). At that point, the anti vax crowd will lose a big portion of their argument.


Sigh. If it only it was about science or true vaccine concerns. As it is, the vaccine vs anti-vax crowd map literally looks like a Trump and Dem voter map. Literally. So the anti vax side loses all credibility, when it’s clear their numbers are anti-vax along political lines.

What’s even worse then banning voices is spreading flat out lie’s and intentional misinformation. Let’s keep this thread honest.

Differing views are fine, lies are not.
