Should Similar Worlds take its cue from Facebook with regards to intentional misinformation?

I speak specifically with regards to COVID-19. I do not care if others choose to support the lie that the election was rigged. That is a political debate, not a health hazard. However, there are those who choose to perpetuate lies that will allow COVID-19 to proliferate and mutate in the bodies of the gullible for years to come, should they follow the advice of certain users. Does that not constitute a risk to the lives of the general public? I consider it to be even worse than shouting "Fire!" in a crowded theater.

Considering I know of 3 people who have died from the vaccine. 2 of which being incredibly young. Your point of view on the matter, is what I consider to be the one leading the charge full throttle with misinformation.

So how does one differentiate between the truth and the lie and who gets to warrant which deaths are swept under the rug as catastrophe and which are not?
@AuRevoir Anecdotal fallacy. Everyone take a drink.

Perhaps 6,000 people have died from side effects of the various vaccines. Well over a million people have died from COVID-19 or complications thereof, and even more are permanently disabled as a result of the long-term symptoms. This is established fact, as reported by the federal government.

@CorvusBlackthorne You’re still making a poor argument.

You are giving the same numbers of people tied into those with having the vaccine. As those who have not. There’s no separation of numbers

It’s not a vaccine. Taking it does not prevent you from catching the virus. So what does taking the vaccine do for anyone other than give them a double risk for death? So now they have to worry about both the vaccine killing them. And the virus killing them.

Therefore it shouldn’t be labeled as such. A vaccine is something that actually works. They’re marketing a placebo with risk of side effects. No one would have a problem with taking a real vaccine.

Taking a jab in your arm that has the potential to kill you. Is the same as playing Russian roulette. And you’re already forced to play it with covid. But the vaccine simply makes you subservient to the government and the big pharma industries. Most vaccines take years to develop and they claimed to have solved this, perpetuating a lie. Labeling it as something it’s not. Titling it vaccine. It’s like someone pissing on you and telling you it’s rain.

If people still catch covid. Whether they get the shot or not, what’s the point of the shot? It’s a waste of time, money, energy and resources. The only way it wouldn’t be is if it were a real vaccine. Which it’s already proven not to be.

And if you’re talking side effects from covid plenty of others have had crippling side effects from the vaccine as well… So all the vaccine becomes in that reality is a double danger to yourself.

And another thing about a vaccine. Is that if there were a true vaccine. You wouldn’t have seven different variations of it. You don’t go in and get things like a tetanus vaccine, a, b, c, d, e… You just get the one, because there’s one that is real and actually works…

Now if you want to try and explain away these facts then by all means go ahead.

But all you’ve said so far is “well covid is bad and hurts people” yeah, and the “vaccine” doesn’t stop anyone from catching covid. Soooooo what’s the point?
@AuRevoir
It’s not a vaccine. Taking it does not prevent you from catching the virus.

No vaccine fully prevents you from catching the disease for which you are vaccinated. Vaccines train your immune system to more effectively fight off the disease. Did no one tell you that when you were a child?

@CorvusBlackthorne That’s not true.

If you want to find the scale of polio development to prove it’s still way out of control and people still caught it then go ahead. But I doubt you’ll find that article, because it doesn’t exist.
@AuRevoir That is PRECISELY true! A vaccine contains either a weakened version of the virus itself, or something to simulate the virus, in order to train your white blood cells to defend your body against infection. If you do not comprehend that, then I see no further point in discussion.

@CorvusBlackthorne woah, way to really blow history and facts out of the water by making shit up.. yes because I know sooooooooo many people who still catch polio in America.. 🤦‍♀️ Because vaccines never fully prevent you from catching the disease so what are you trying to state exactly..

That someone going through the full effects of covid and it being like they never took the vaccine in the first place from being unable to move with severe agony wrecking havoc on their entire body to being unable to stop coughing.. is the same as someone ordering their sandwich laughing with friends and having fun. When a little bit of polio germ enters their body because they have realistic and actual immunities built up from a real vaccine? 🙄 yes these two vaccines have NO difference at all between them.. 😒☕️ You’ve TOTALLY made your point..

All you’ve reiterated is that what they’re giving people, isn’t a real vaccine. People still catch covid and go through the full list of covid symptoms. That’s not a vaccine. People don’t get polio vaccinated and end up going through life struggling with fearing they still might catch polio.. 🙄 it’s on nobodies minds because it’s a real vaccine, your use of arguing semantics is or reprehensible at best.. 😒👉👉 Shoot for the moon with your BB gun kid.. because that’s probably what you think that saying meant.. 😒☕️
@AuRevoir
woah, way to really blow history and facts out of the water by making shit up...

Vaccines train our immune systems to create proteins that fight disease, known as ‘antibodies’, just as would happen when we are exposed to a disease but – crucially – vaccines work without making us sick.

@CorvusBlackthorne How am I lying?

You know facts don’t work by just saying something and like magic it’s suddenly real.. 🙄☕️ Like tf? And now you’re posting some random shit that has nothing to do with the differentials between polio and covid…

Like do you think jumping off topic. To again talk about semantics. And the proof that there are key differences between past vaccines and this piss for water they try to convince people is good for them, will somehow save your argument..

Everyone already knows the definition between real vaccines you don’t need to post it here.. 👀☕️ Your a snake oil salesmen.. claiming this vaccine, is a miracle cure even though there’s only proof that points in the opposite direction that it even works at all.. 👀☕️ Not everyone is a sheep and just does as other people attempt to bully them into thinking you know.. we think for ourselves and assess the facts as they’re presented..

You’re making a poor attempt to say that all vaccines fall under the same umbrella.. Them titling something as a “vaccine” just because they gave it the brand doesn’t make it so..

It’s like womens designer bags. Where someone can make it seem the exact same but it’s not the original. Like a real diamond and a cubic zirconia..

Your problem is you’re trying to flagship this false vaccine and saying it’s real and other people are like “no dumb dumb, that one’s fake, let me show you real examples of real actual vaccines..” I talk about polio and all Yoh attempt to do is say that you’re correct based off a definition of a vaccine. At the end of the day a vaccine still takes preventive measures to stop the disease from occurring. Which does not happen.. with the covid “vax” so the only liar here is you dude.. hoping you can curtail sementics of a definition that don’t even directly apply to logic of the thing you’re trying to defend.. 🙄
@AuRevoir

Then please stop doing so. Here is a quote from an article published by the Center for Disease Control.

Vaccines help develop immunity by imitating an infection. This type of infection, however, almost never causes illness, but it does cause the immune system to produce T-lymphocytes and antibodies. Sometimes, after getting a vaccine, the imitation infection can cause minor symptoms, such as fever. Such minor symptoms are normal and should be expected as the body builds immunity.

Once the imitation infection goes away, the body is left with a supply of “memory” T-lymphocytes, as well as B-lymphocytes that will remember how to fight that disease in the future. However, it typically takes a few weeks for the body to produce T-lymphocytes and B-lymphocytes after vaccination. Therefore, it is possible that a person infected with a disease just before or just after vaccination could develop symptoms and get a disease, because the vaccine has not had enough time to provide protection.

Q.E.D.

As pertains to your so-called argument regarding polio, you are ignoring the fact that certain viruses mutate at a higher rate than others. Influenza, for example, mutates so often that an annual booster shot is recommended.

@AuRevoir Do you know anyone who died from COVID?
