In this case though, vaccines save lives and aren't a different narrative, so it's fine to delete disinformation that is getting people killed.

No: the words of Halprin were not that "information will be censored that denies that «vaccines save lives»". And if such position existed, I want to hear about it: it may come from a fool, it may come from someone reliable, I cannot know in advance.

And "saving lives" must be put in context: it is a generic objective, not a justification for censorship.
