Agreed, the anti-vax bs is rampant on IH. How about people who have been vaccinated can opt for a hypodermic syringe beside their name indicating they're vaccinated?

It would be a positive endorsement by IH in these pandemic times and would probably have the effect of more people being vaccinated.

I seriously think iHub should follow YouTube's lead here, in order to stem the flood of ani-vaxx information that seems to infect most boards

I seriously think iHub should continue to moderate boards according to their TOU's, leaving the determination of the veracity of any post up to the reader. Most users of the site are capable of making this determination on their own and honestly, iHub cannot help the few who are not.

This is one of the reasons I cancelled my Facebook, Instagram and Twitter accounts almost a year ago.

I am a staunch critic of social media sites that have elected to put themselves in the fraught with opportunity to be wrong position of acting as arbiters of truth. I am equally staunch supporter of their 1st Amendment right to do so on their properties should they elect to embark on that perilous and thankless path.

They are effectively substituting their judgement for those of the information consumer, and as to be expected have already been proven dead wrong in some of their past judgments of veracity. Time may tell if they chose the correct "truth" in any particular instance. In any event, I see no reason for us to appoint ourselves to the lofty status as omniscient beings.

I for one know just enough on most topics to be dangerous.
