So we should ban anyone discussing anything not government approved?

If you’re asking if we should ban comments pushing people to take unproven treatments for a disease when a proven and safe alternative exists, then yes we should. I refuse to acknowledge the idea that somehow if we ban provably false statements regarding vaccines and ivermectin that somehow we must apply that same level of fact checking to all content on Reddit.
People are dying because of this provably false information. It adds no value to our community, and worse, people are dying because of it.

Well, if you went into r/politics after the bombing at the airport in Kabul the other day, you'd be hard pressed to think that what you just said wasn't true.
