Is there any reason to believe the dangers of the presumed misinformation being censored are actually significant? Is it killing more people than the Tide pod challenge for example? The article mentions taking vitamin C, and turmeric, but that just seems harmless to me. If it was just that, it’s clearly not worth banning the masks or origin discussion.

Yes telling people the virus isn't dangerous and to resume your life is how Italy got overrun. This is the misinfo being spread.

Yeah I agree that is very dangerous, although that is exactly what governments and most TV channels were saying at the time.

They are saying it now. Today. Attempting to change the subject to what was said 3 months ago isn't a great strategy.

You mentioned "how Italy got overrun", so I was talking about the timeframe that you brought up. I'm not trying to change the subject.
