This comment section is being heavily censored even for very mild criticisms.


I've yet to find a single dead comment that isn't just trying to troll, insult or peddle the whole "it's a hoax" meme.

In fact one of the top rated comments with child comments is specifically as you claim is bring censored mild but fair criticism of mRNA vaccine and it's effectiveness.


Scary to see this censorship still goes on, even now, at this latter stage, where the studies on myocarditis are numerous and no longer debunked.

The censorship was even worse during the initial rollout of mRNA technology, blocking fair scrutiny of a widespread rollout.

Proper scientific scrutiny and debate is vital around novel technologies. Particularly novel MEDICAL technologies. And particularly where governments are mandating that the technology is administered to whole populations.


I think the world will be just fine if a few mediocre coders have their medical hot takes downvoted on an online forum.


If it doesn’t matter then it also doesn’t hurt to leave the posts up. Thanks.

Unfortunately you can’t see how mild these “hot takes” are.

It feels to me that the virology and vaccination field is mind-numbingly complicated, so most so called hacker objections are from people not even remotely qualified to object, since they only think they understand. Study the field for a decade, then object. Those are the objections we should pay attention to.


I'd be happy to debate with anyone who has even watched an online virology course:

Just spend 25 hours watching videos so we have a common language about how viruses and the immune system works. Doesn't need to take a decade to bump up a person's knowledge above the level of online blogs.


The human immune system is the most complicated biological system we've made any significant progress in understanding. But I would be prepared to listen to a contrarian who's spent several months deep diving the literature. Sadly, I've yet to meet such an individual.


Hackers love to question the truth but refuse to countenance bullshit.

The downvotes here seem to be catching bullshit quite well!


If it’s low quality/troll posts then I agree.

But ignoring high quality criticism is not going to lead you to truth.

I’m afraid on this topic people feel justified in disregarding or it makes them uncomfortable to scrutinize what they did or said.


The bulk of the downvoted comments are literally saying mRNA vaccines cause cancer, claiming there to be mountains of evidence yet not providing any references themselves. That's not "high quality criticism" but dull and uninformed nonsense.


Those aren’t the many I saw.


You posted insane conspiracy theories with no evidence and lots of the generalizations you made are completely contradicted by mountains of real evidence, what did you expect to happen?

You linked a 4 hour video without even giving specific times. You wouldn't accept that as evidence if someone told you it contradicted everything you said, so why would you expect people to accept that as evidence of things like "rewriting people's genome" or "causing turbo cancer" ?
