Should denying the severity or existence of Covid-19 be moddable?


Some of the stuff Im seeing people post is bordering on brainwashed propaganda. What makes people so bold as to deny what healthcare experts are saying?

Denial of anything factual should be moddable, up to and including the curvature of the Earth.

If you post something that has a citation behind it which includes hard qualitative-quantitative research to it, then it shouldn't be moddable.

If Rogan or a guest is citing a study and can give the name where it originated, sure.

If it's just Joe giving his opinion or some left-field conspiratorial junk from Eddie Bravo, then no.

What do you mean by covid denial? Covid existing vs covid being overblown are two different things.
The reality is always in the middle between the people who live under the fear of covid and those who have no fear of covid. Be cautious but do not let covid keep you away from living.

Personally, I wear masks not because I am afraid of covid for myself but for other people. I know I am perfectly healthy and fit so I don't fear covid, but there are many people that I might affect negatively if I am asymptomatic and do not wear a mask.

People on CE (mods even) have posted that its overblown, even in the face of a death toll in the hundreds of thousands.

Shitting on walls is not "speech".

Spreading COVID denials is the equivalent of shitting on walls.

That makes no sense.

If someone shows up in your house and starts spouting drivel on the level you commonly do, but regarding something you disagree with, are you denying him his freedom of speech by telling him to leave?
