Paul Offit Atlantic Article

[Anonymous]

Is it Offit’s article problematic or the posters’ comments on it?

I think the moderator should delete the entire thread because you filled up a full page complaining about your post.

Honestly the thread itself reads as a wolf in sheeps clothing anti vaccine invitation which is a common tactic by anti vaxxers to slip into moderated platforms and then post their garbage.

It's a little bit of both. See the sticky post at the top of the Health forum:

As stated there, I am not qualified to tell which opinions are valid among various sources. Therefore, I will follow CDC guidance. Posts that contradict the CDC's recommendations for vaccines are subject to deletion.

I posted nothing on that thread.

It appears my router IP has been banned over comments I made in that thread. I didn’t post the article nor comment directly about it, only noted that it was insane how many subsequent posts kept getting deleted. Oh well. I guess I have more time to read The Atlantic now.

Yes, repeated off-topic posts will often result in a temporary block.
