Please don’t allow this sub to be divided into “antivax vs. provax”. Let people come here to speak genuinely without labels. If not, we will turn into r/Coronavirus.

So I think there are two different points you're making: -People who aren't vaccinated should be able to post their experience here and can ask for advice/support. -People who aren't vaccinated should be able to justify that decision and make false equivalences without fear of downvotes.

Absolutely agree with the first, definitely disagree with the second. Don't discuss vaccination beyond factually mentioning it and people shouldn't get downvoted.

If somebody tries to justify not getting the shot, they may not get sympathy from many people, and many people will be hostile towards that (especially the HCWs who are still in crisis mode because of people who won't get vaccinated). People may downvote because they think the post or comment needlessly distracts from the point of the sub.

If someone says getting the shots (or booster) wouldn't have mattered, then yeah, that's misinformation (demonstrably false) and people may downvote for that too.
