I have commented in the past but no longer do so because of the downvotes that come my way. This is the only topic on HN where I censor myself in this way. And I am someone who is fully vaccinated and who vaccinates her family.

- conanbatt 7y agoThis topic is vitriolic here as it is on twitter, and even the public discourse in other countries. One upvoted comment literally mentions murdering and ghettos, something that would get you banned and possibly fired if you replaced the word anti-vaxxers with anything else, but applauded in a forum of wealthy intellectuals.
- twy5790 7y agoAnd I can see I'm getting downvotes even for posting this response. Why downvote someone for answering a question about their behavior on HN? Seems like folks just view anyone who isn't fully and unquestioningly bought-in on vaccines as the enemy, and worthy of downvotes for that reason. Sad day for HN. Hopefully this won't spread to other topics.
