Ban Covid-19 Anti Vaccination Posts

[sadsatan]

did bill gates paid you to post this?
cuz i don't agree with you at all, and i feel good being a woke person.

it's called the depopulation agenda, funded by rockefeller foundation, the united nations...etc just google it, god damn it
it seems that the media has brainwashed your brain enough to believe every propaganda shit.
wake up man, i don't like seeing you with the sheeps.

People are missing the point here. The idea isn't to ban the threads due to certain individualds not liking to read them, it's down to the constant arguing and miss information the threads are spreading. It's fine to state your opinion but this is a marketing forum not your local FB group, politics is banned for a reason. It's not about censoring your opinion but minimising the actual risks the threads create. It's the same people arguing in every thread, it's un-needed.

Saw that in another thread too. Apparently people who call covid bullshit or a regular flu and also say that vaccines are bad etc. get way too many likes. This whole discussion is so tiring and it's also tiring that there even has to be a discussion.

Covid IS dangerous and no not all doctors and scientists in the world are paid by the illuminati or Bill Gates to say covid is dangerous. Get a goddamn life.

I'm so tired of those people who say covid is just a flu or covid is not real. It makes me angry, because a relative of mine HAS covid and most likely she will die. Covid is a real disease!

AND there are a lot of young teens in here, that are learning IM, and they do not have the life experience to know what is right or wrong, and therefore may be miss guided on the whole covid situation.

I prefer to be banned than keep contribuinting in a forum, that censors users and content.

You are already in the wrong place then as BHW already band conversion on politics and religion. They have no place in IM and only cause unproductive arguments.

Can you see the connection here?

100% spot on.

The only way to remove the argument is to remove or limit it.

Everyone is free to have their own opinions, I respect that. But limit the arguments of the few please.

I personally enjoy the lounge in my feed but some of the unqualified rhetoric in these threads is dangerous.

If you want to discuss health care issues, an IM forum is not the place for it, or capable/qualified of policing harmful comments (pro or against)

I read vaccine threads time to time and I am not planning to get this vaccine. But I am here mostly for IM, so supporting the mega thread option because I started to see a new vaccine thread everyday with similar comments in it, there is no end. Mega thread would solve it, interested users would continue in one and only thread.

I totally agree with you man!

 

[Impulse]

This thread is a discussion about whether or not COVID-19 discussions should be prohibited on BHW because it causes arguments.

So please, don't use the thread as an opportunity to continue arguing about COVID-19. Any other posts in this vein are getting deleted.

 

[kingtigerx]

I'm against big tech banning/censorship. Learn to think for yourself and if you don't like the topic of the post, don't read it.

 

[BassTrackerBoats]

I just gave out a warning for inappropriate behavior... keep things civil please.

 

[Scorpion Ghost]

No! Freedom of speech.

Vaccines are horrible evil things.

Vaccines are wonderful and save lives.

Ill say whatever i want. Who the hell do you think you are to try and legislate what i can and cant say?! Are you Hitler?

 

[Deleted member 657006]

You must remember a lot of people like different opinions on subjects.

No one is forced to read any thread made from any member.

Unfortunately covid a very high topic and people that are losing love ones or got an opinion want to just get it off there chest.

I don't see any reason to not let people try and express their feelings on covid.

If you're asking if there a way to put all threads of one subject together that might be useful.

Just want to say don't get upset over someone's belief or speculation on covid as it there mind and belief, not yours, you believe in what you believe, never stop others from freedom of speech.

You also need to understand this forum a community forum so we all learn from each other, wouldn't be right to think one person opinion not allowed over a thread that already been mentioned.

 

[xReminisce]

I found it interesting the first time it came around
then i been just skipping over them afterwards.
Wouldn't miss it if it was banned but for everyone who wants a say on the subject I think a Megathread would be fine. Have it contained somewhere

 

[thescrrr]

100% agree with this, antivax talk is potentially harmful and shouldn't be allowed.

 

[ulus23]

I'd prefer it in one thread so I can avoid it - or preferably not at all. If section 230 repeal goes through, BHW may need to get rid of it if you have US legal exposure. Site may have liability even if 230 repeal doesn't pass, esp FTC. It won't impact me as I support all relevant laws. I suggest you ask your doctor if you want medical advice, and not the people on internet forums.

I'm here to conduct business. Anything that keeps me from business or polite conversation is something that annoys me. At the least put it all in one megathread.

I am not a lawyer. This does not constitute legal advice.

 

[Preon]

The Alex Jones conspiracy talk and other blatant misinformation / lies are potentially dangerous.

Someone who's uninformed may believe some of the nonsense which could have real life consequences.

Just ban it all and leave the conspiracy talk to Facebook or YouTube.

I want to have my faith in humanity left in one piece.

 

[Mediawiz]

I'm not for censorship in any form at all but I'm done with all these covid and vaccine threads. I'm coming here to look for nice discussions, methods and other insights related to the work we do, not to see 10 corona/covid topics a day. If I'd like to read about that I'm visiting news sites or other sources.

I get people want to talk about this and that's a good poijt and your right, but use 1 thread instead or other platforms. It's not only on BHW but you see it everywhere and I'm getting tired of it.

 

[Themer]

What is the problem if those posts are in the lounge? They are not political posts. Just an opinion of some people. Jesus. People get rattled by anything and everything these days.

 

[nakamura]

The problem is not the discussion itself. The problem is people are getting extremely emotional and it seems there are two groups of people on here: Those who are really scared, have no rational approach and just start insulting...and those who are having a rational approach and actually question wtf is going on.

By myself, I don't understand why people feel personally offended (its crazy actually) when someone is telling them they are not going to take the vaccine.
