Yup. Nuanced opinions are a thing of the past, you have to swallow one tribal philosophy or the other to be accepted. I’m with you. I’m vaccinated. I wear a mask in a place where I absolutely get sideways looks for doing so. The science on the benefits of vaccines is proven and not really debatable. Long term effects are obviously unknown. Long term effects of Covid are likely much worse.
What is debatable and SHOULD be debated are the cost / benefits of shutdowns, mandates, government aid, censorship, and other POLICY decisions.

Neither covid19 nor its vaccines have existed for even close to long enough for anyone to even guess which has the worse long term effects.
You claiming to know that is definitively misinformation.
Difference is I don't call for you to be banned from saying it.

Why do you believe long term effects of covid be likely worse? What is your basis for that?

I’m a simple person, and you know, I’ve been a good soldier throughout the pandemic so when someone tells me I will face CONSEQUENCES for *asking questions*, I just have a big fucking problem with that.
This feels less like an attempt to gain control over the pandemic and more like an exercise in normalizing censorship and suppression of dissent.
