Yes. I would have written exactly what you did here, but then I’d probably have to fend off the comments you are referring to.

So I worded it more diplomatically, or ambiguously.

Shame; it’s interesting to get challenged. At least I got to read it before it got flushed.

Tip: if you go to https://news.ycombinator.com/active instead of the front page you can see stories that were flagged. This is how I read HN because the number of interesting, relevant and useful stories that get flagged for ideological reasons is just far too high. This one being a good case in point. It's a pattern: there's a group of people who will reliably flag any article demonstrating that official COVID science is wrong. Doesn't matter what it's about - if it contradicts official narratives then it's probably going to disappear within an hour or two.

One might think a site dedicated to intellectual curiousity would be interested in stories like that, or that at least flagging such stories would be penalized, but no.

Thanks. That's a good idea. I already have showdead activated, so I can at least track them down when they disappear.

Wonder if this phenomenon is discussed with dang et al. I am very motivated to find the truth whereever the search takes me, so encountering this kind of collectivist censorship is very frustrating.
