Speaking personally: I downvoted them because the thing about blocking Trump's medical report is just not true.
FYI: "getting downvoted on HN because my comment is spreading false rumors" is not an example of censorship.
- stickyricky 6y agoNit: It's a collective act of censorship if downvotes lead the comment to be removed from public view.

I haven't been around here very long and recently figured out 'showdead' because I wanted to be able to see what folks were talking about -- especially when there were replies to such comments. In fact, even if I'm skimming comments, I always read flagged/dead comments -- to make sure I hear all the voices. Even the ones I don't appreciate or even dislike (although that's not always the 'dead' ones)
