Dim Tool makes music? That's hilarious. Anyway I don't have a problem with platforms removing COVID misinformation.
Does saying a false thing about COVID mean that everything you've ever said can now be banned everywhere forever?
Since not every one of the guys songs were about COVID, but they were all taken down.
Does this apply to disinformation like "If you get the vaccine you won't get COVID"? How about "If you get the vaccine you won't spread COVID to others"?
Who was going around saying those two things specifically? That sounds like either a strawman or someone misunderstanding how vaccines work, rather than deliberately spreading bad information a la Tim Pool. All respected medical professionals were saying, repeatedly, that you can still get and spread COVID after getting the vaccine, but your chances for both are lower. Also you're likely to have a milder case after getting the vaccine, if you do end up getting COVID.
This whole things sounds like you're wrapped up in conservative talking points.

I'll just assume this doesn't count so I won't bother finding those clips of Fauci, Wallinsky and countless other officials.
Yo I'm not going to defend something dumb that Biden said, but he's not a medical professional -- he was trying to sell people on vaccines. You can find me the clip of Fauci saying that if you want. Fauci also had really poor messaging about masks at the beginning of the pandemic, so I don't fully doubt that he said something stupid about vaccines.
No I told you I won't bother, I gave you what you asked for and it was not good enough.
It's your knowledge and your health. Do you think you would benefit from doing your own research?
Meh, what does it matter at this point? I hope you're staying up to date with your vaccines friend.
