    Advocacy and sale of alternative “medicine”, COVID-19 denial, anti-vaccination, etc.

    Call it censorship if you want, but these things can kill people and should absolutely be censored.

      So let me get this straight just because these things “sometimes” kill people you should be censored and denied your God given right to choose what best for yourself and be forced into doing and taking things you don’t believe in, and please don’t give me it’s for the greater good crap cause it ain’t true, and I would like to point out that your supporting censorship on a platform that is AGAINST censorship why because not everybody wants to get a vaccine or everybody doesn’t want to or can’t afford to go to a hospital and your also saying that certain things should be censored because they don’t line up with what the majority/governments thinks is right? Or what you think is right for everybody?

      i think you got my point so please stop supporting censorship and forcing things onto people because “its for the greater good” or for any other reason because denying people there basic human rights is NOT ok and needs to be stopped no matter what views you may have or whose side your on.

      I don’t think anti-vaccination should be forbidden.

      Everything which violates physical integrity of a person, even if its for the “general good” should not be forced and different measures should be taken into account.

      I mean, should be something voluntary.

      Other thing is that you speak about the lies and myths in most people around it.

        Except there is no real alternative to vaccination. It’s the best way we have to prevent disease outbreaks, and the concept of herd immunity, where people who can’t be vaccinated are still protected (infants and the elderly, those who are allergic, organ transplant recipients, HIV/AIDS sufferers, people with other immune system problems) necessarily require that everyone who can be vaccinated is vaccinated. That combined with the fact that vaccines do not provide 100% protection for any individual person, by not vaccinating, you put everyone around you at risk of potentially deadly diseases, which, if you’re talking about violating the physical integrity of people, is a pretty egregious example IMO.

          If there is no viable replacement in the alternatives it is our duty to look for one or improve the current ones.

          Setting the most efficient just because of that is just utilitarianism.

        Alternative medicine is “medicine” that has no scientific basis (translation: they’re bullshit). Like homeopathy or healing crystals. How is being against that in support of monopolized medicine?
