In the meantime please don't use this to call out others or to even tell them what they should do. Everyone needs to make a choice, their own choice, not a choice that's being imposed on them.
"calling out" the anti-vaxxers on here or telling them "what to do". I have seen others on this site, like me, who have argued against their positions and claims by posting information that counters their statements and their sources.
If you can provide links to comments that have included personal put-downs or demands that others adhere to their view, I'd like to see it.

Will I post those comments?
No.
Why not?
I will not rehash the comments you highlight, believe me, there are many. Those comments have been lobbed at members here from both sides of the issue. I will not open that can of worms again because I want it to stop.
For the most part the comments in question have tempered since it was made clear that they will not be tolerated. What I do continue to see though is what I term "broad brush insults". On both sides. Make a general statement about how bad this or that is and how stupid people are for doing this or that, while the generalized group targeted in the broad brush insult attack also include members of this site. On both sides. Without a clear distinction of intent those type of insults are easily transposed to any individual reading them. It's subtle and it hurts. It leads to division and is the antithesis of this site's premise.

@The Liberal Moonbat
comes next. TPTB didn't think this one out as it normally takes 20-30 years to come up with a vaccine that works, Operation Warp Speed was just a name, not a process in developing a vaccine that would work
Amen.

Keeping us divided and blaming each other takes the focus off them and the crap they're pulling to our disadvantage. But keep on fighting, folks. We have plenty here who are putting the unvaccinated down for their choice to be free from forced medical procedures. Keep right on dividing us - you're carrying their water, which must make you feel pretty powerful!
TREATMENT NOT SHOTS. PERIOD.

"That was amazing, Julie."
Amen.
We live in a society in which "we live in a society" is considered a subversive and vaguely-threatening statement.

is disintegrating before our very eyes, as the BS level by the state gets higher and higher.
