In case 15 people died because of the vaccine, ok, me myself advocate for "If you have a certain medical condition, please go to your doctor for his advice if you should take the vaccine, and if you can't, at least get the rest of your family vaccinated and wear a mask" That was actually the case for a few of my friends. But thousands of people are getting vaccinated, and they are just fine, im vaccinated myself and I'm fine, as well as my mom, and my 85yo grandpa. 15 out of thousands and thousands of people is a very few number, considering that the vaccine has already been proved to prevent covid, and if you get covid, your survival rate is almost 100 per cent, unless you have other medical condition. NOT taking the vaccine is way more risky, and irresponsible, since the virus evolve in the bodies of the Unvaccinated. r/nonewnormal was advocating for NOBODY to get vaccinated, or wear masks, and spreading conspiracy theories, it was actually harmful, since a lot of people might die because of it, so, again, im glad that was shutdown, but anti-maskers, anti-vaxxers, and conspirationists will move to somewhere else.

It's alright to believe such. However look at how many people are being injured and dying from the vaccine. Just this fb post got swamped with desperate comments https://www.worldtribune.com/unexpected-and-heartbreaking-thousands-flood-abc-affiliates-facebook-page-with-vaccination-horror-stories/

These are real people dying from an experimental vaccine. That's mostly what nonewnormal community was sharing. Then they got censored.

World tribune is an extremely far right biased news source with absolute no credibility. Also, if your sources are FACEBOOK comments, then it's bullshit. And again, it's r/nonewnormal was putting people's lives in danger. So it's good that it's gone now.
