I got a ban for 'inciting hatred or violence' calling someone a "Human piece of garbage" for thinking only vulnerable or old people died of Covid. I knew a number of people in their 20s and 30s personally who died who were otherwise healthy. They doubled down after I challenged his statement by saying "They must have had some underlying condition. Healthy people didn't die to Covid". I called him what I called him and got banned. I checked a day later and he was still posting in other subs.
Ended up just deleting all my accounts and came here.
the super mods of reddit are super antivaxx, they did banned plenty of people who tells off the antivaxxers
For more evidence against it only affecting old people, 2 million Americans now have long covid and are essentially completely disabled and out of work because of it. For most It's 12+ hours in bed a day and having no energy to even make food, for the unlucky ones it's constant shortness of breath and other not so nice symptoms. The vaccine has been shown to prevent long covid, so any person regardless of age is taking a huge risk by not getting the vaccine.
