Of Freedom, Country and Vaccination

[Dahlsim]

That offers the question. How should social platforms handle people with claims like "The vaccine is going to kill 75% of people within one year". Just let it spread? Flagg? Bann/Delete? What about hate speech. Racism, antisemitism and similar things?
As of now it is mostly handled by the platforms own rules. In some cases local legislation (mostly outside the US) can lead to law suits.

History bears out and I firmly believe that Truth is it's own defense.  
To take an idea from theology if I may, You shall know the truth and the truth shall make you free. John 8:32 

Open debate is not the killer of any society.  People in general are blessed with enough God given sense and instincts to ferret out the truth if given a free shot at all the ideas.  If you look at history and at the world as I've said before the oppressive societies whether religious or secular cannot and do not tolerate real free speech. 

If someone says the vaccine is going kill 75% in one year, people can listen to those that explain the absurdity of that claim and the majority will decide for themselves what is more reasonable.  

The same is true with Racism, Antisemitism etc.  Hitler was not able to rise to power without crushing his dissenters. He could stir up a lot of trouble but eventually he had to start suppressing and attacking those that disagreed with his ideology among the German people.  

The United States had disagreements on slavery and racism from the very inception.  The abolitionist movement largely white people against the ideals of racism and slavery of course took time but in the end it was part of what led to the Civil War and the abolition of slavery. 

Martin Luther King and other Civil right leaders were able to win the war of ideas against racism precisely because the 1st amendment in this country empowered them to speak freely while the racists had to resort to physical violence and suppression of those that exposed the fallacies of their ideas.
