Is medical misinformation on this site dangerous?

Look on the bright side. The average IQ of the world should increase.. XD

There are a number of reasons for vaccine-hesitancy and not all of them are politically motivated. Some are historical, for example, testing of drugs by lying to the subjects (most especially black subjects).

A lot of people don't trust the government - any government - and with good reason.

I had covid-19 AND got vaccinated, because I weighed the evidence against my experiences and arrived at my conclusion. It is entirely possible to weigh the same evidence against different experience and reach a different, but legitimate, decision.

Where I have problems is when the unvaccinated insist on mixing with those who are vulnerable for other reasons. Responsible behavior dictates erring on the side of caution.

The idea that someone disagrees with mainstream thought because they are stupid is condescending and wrong.

It is important to remember that shutting up someone who disagrees with me means that the next person to be silenced could be me.

My opinion: for the most part, those who accept that information already believe it.

And right or wrong, people have a right (so far) to have an opinion and voice it.

Who decides what is misinformation?

How many people have died from this so called vaccine? I have heard numbers from a congressman who said its 7000, to over 20,000. If the govt was simply honest I think most people would weigh it and some would decide to get it still. 7K/70 million. It's about a 1% death rate if 7K is the actual number.

I'll wait to see what the FDA says, I bet they never approve for full use.

At what point do we stop trying to censor a persons thoughts.
Who are you or S.W. to determine if it is misinformation or just opinion.
Everything you know has to be a " Consider the source " situation.
Doctors often have opposite views on topics but do we side with one opinion and silence the other???
When does this stop or for that matter start???

How about medical misinformation from the media?

At the moment, there is a run on hospitals and it’s not from being vaccinated. It’s from not being vaccinated and catching the Delta Variant of Covid.

You are incapable of making your own choices?

Misinformation and disinformation is everywhere ... and yes, dangerous

BS is shared faster than fact

Lots of tough talk from people who’s entire families can be taken out by a cough.

I've never noticed that. All of those people must have me blocked. Good!

With that kind of mindset shouldn’t Fauci have been censored by now for all the false information he provided?

Hopefully no one is getting their beliefs from random squawkers on the internet.

Yes. You should only rely on factual science.

Irony 🤧 last I checked this isn’t Facebook.

Qestioning vaccines is completely understandable when equipped with enough medical knowledge. Not when watching bunch of stupid Youtube videos.

I have seen someone recommend taking a large dose of vitamine C as a preventive measure of COVID-19 to a kidney transplant patient.

And that same someone goes around talking against vaccines in this website.

It is dangerous.

SW isn't responsible for their choices to endanger others. There are only few admins.

Yes ..theres a lot of it on here ...I ignore it

I get bored with trying to correct the misinformation they’re peddling. Some here may make their vaccine decision based on their b.s. but the odds are, it probably won’t be a fatal decision.

No, it's not dangerous.

its dangerous anywhere

What propaganda. You drank the koolaid and are not smart enough to question the official line. Sucks to be you.

Yes, they are. Just like Facebook.

{@jonlosangeles] these people tend to be the trump cult obedience core base and are brain wahed with his ignorant outlook on the vaccination . alas it is a opinion and a view point so cannot be stopped . all you can think is people have more common sense and make there own judgement whether it is right or wrong to have the vaccine or not

Yes. Spreading medical misinformation online is what gets people killed.

Spreading conspiracy theories online isn't nearly as dangerous as getting medical advice from social media.

For the most part I think reading all that bullshit just reinforces how stupid it really is.

But if it were to be deleted it would just reinforce their notion that they know the "truth". Let them post their stupid shit, I always love reading new conspiracy theories anyway.

Only dangerous to people that believe everything they read.

You are dangerous and your propaganda and lies

Lol!!! Get the fuck out of here you LA Nut
