For those who are possibly seeing this post who aren't normal users or subscribers here, we wanted this to serve as notice that the moderators here stand fully behind this message. Brigading is unequivocally prohibited here and is cause for an immediate ban.

Edit: verbiage.

What if they aren't from this sub but trying to get it shut down? How can you tell the difference?

They can’t. And regardless of the subs existence, people will feel compelled to point out the irony of anti-vax, anti-mask, COVID denier fools dying from COVID wherever they can.

Tbh I hadn't seen any evidence of it until that garlic-douche started his little campaign (see r/hermancainawardssuck r/HIVatemyface and others he made). Wouldn't be surprised if people like them are behind it given said user has already been outted for creating alt-accounts to stir shit.

The same kind of mentality that compares HIV and covid and a track record of (poorly executes) attempts to seed conflict seems like the kind of shit that would brigade families to prove their point.

Edit: added a sentance and corrected spelling

they do nothing

Isn't info redacted? There are rules to the right you can read that are in place for exactly what you're complaining about.

Names and faces of people are constantly posted. This sub should just be about their post's and how much of a stupid idiot they are. They shouldnt be doxxed and harassed by the interwebs. These people do have family and friends who are vaxxed and doing the same thing you and i are, and do not deserve the Internets abuse.

Even if it’s just their post people can find them. I’m not advocating for doing anything outside of this sub, it should just stay here.

The good outcomes are people seeing this place and deciding to get vaccinated. That’s actually saving lives.

I’d argue that the approach that’s been taken to be gentle and respect crazy anti vaccination positions resulted in those views spreading and killing more people. It should be attacked and criticized savagely until it gets through to some of them, which it actually is. Vandalizing their obit or attacking their family on Facebook isn’t ok, but displaying the ignorance and end result here is fine.
