every time I see anti-vaxx shit posted here at least one of you is already in the comments, fighting the good fight.
@admins please reconsider chapo's site-wide tolerance of anti-vaxx/vaccine-skeptical/vaccine-hesitant rhetoric
Just some examples of recent posts with problematic takes/comments that are more upvoted than downvoted-

This is just a quick handful, and nothing is surface level 'the vaccine will cause austism' type anti vax takes but they do rely heavily on relying on your gut feeling over trusting the science and call outs of this behavior generally get less traction/upvotes than the bad takes.
Just something to toss out, people keep saying the vaccine is rushed around here and imply or outright state that they cut corners during trials when in reality things were fast tracked in an administrative way. I don't have the time or the energy to correct "the vaccine was rushed out" every time I see it, yet it's been repeated enough that people believe it, and from there anti vax shit grows (ex- "I don't trust it since it's rushed so I'll probably wait a bit to get it" is very common around here, unfortunately)
The first and is just pointing out that the people who made the vaccine don't even know if it prevents the spread. How is that problematic?
The third is the UK government warning the vaccine could have adverse reactions in people with serious allergies. How is that problematic?
