I agree that when people cite bad sources, it harm's their argument. Yes, dead commenters, the messenger matters. I'll also state I think deleting vaccine skeptics does more harm on HN than good.

> Let their ignorance be argued eh, "Disprove [the situation you just said was emotionally gutting] wasn't caused by [nonsense I can write down in 5 seconds but will take 2+ orders of magnitude to respond to]" is pretty classic sealioning/asymmetric trolling. Maybe if they put up a claim with evidence, otherwise it's just low-effort shit posting and not worth much more than a downvote.
