Get rid of Covid sub forum

[cdnavater]

I am tired of having to fact check JerryRig. Would like the Covid forum removed, maybe if enough avcanadians say so, it will be gone

Go find a conspiracy echo chamber to jerk each other off in.

Either remove it or add a forum where all non aviation topics are allowed.

Closing non aviation topics except for the most ridiculous ones seems like a weird policy.

[CpnCrunch]

Agree, we need some kind of water cooler forum where people can discuss politics and other stuff. You can put a warning on it or something.

The problem is, it doesn’t seem to be moderated and it certainly is on us to fact check the poster, so, if unchecked, they get carte blanche to post whatever crap they feel like

If you snowflakes are triggered, why don’t you simply avoid the covid sub forum?

Go eat a cat! It’s not about being triggered, it’s about the outright lies and people who might buy into his shit!

We aren’t the ones who started a clownvoy for a vaccine that literally nobody was forced to take and for policies the federal government had nothing to do with (healthcare is provincial and the Americans made the rules for the US border crossing)… while ironically very loudly complaining that you don’t have freedom of speech.

[piperdriver]

I respectfully disagree Bob.

Many people were informed by their employer to take the vaccine or they would no longer have employment. Now imagine if you have a family to feed and put a roof over their head and your employer gives you this ultimatum.

That is forced in my opinion.

I know someone is going to say they can find another job. But switching careers can certainly be challenging and stressful. Maybe it would require schooling or re-training $$$. It might also mean a large pay cut starting at the bottom of a new company. We can certainly relate to this scenario in the aviation industry.

I think many Canadians are struggling financially and to tell an employee to take a vaccine or they will lose their employment is wrong and immoral.

[DanWEC]

You also aren't "required" to have internet access, a smart phone, or a bank account, but trying to live remotely normally without all those combined would be roughly the same as not getting the vaccine in 2020. You know it, everyone knows it. Saying it wasn't legally mandated is utterly toothless in reality.

And YES, the covid forum has to go. This is the first post on this topic I've made in a couple of years and I realize it's totally pointless. I'm actually embarssed for myself by contributing! Peace.

[Meatservo]

I agree. Get rid of that stupid sub-forum. Nobody cares about COVID anymore anyway, and having a forum on the subject is just functioning as a petri dish in which the stupidest among us try to reproduce with themselves to no avail. It's embarassing.

[EPR]

I agree also, I think the retards among us have now learned to wash their filthy hands, sneeze into your elbow (not your hand..U-fuckin retard), and not to rub your nose/eyes without washing your fingers..(after taking a shit U-fuckin retard), but yah...covid is over!

I very rarely contribute to this site however the vast majority who do undoubtedly consider aviation a very serious activity. People who dwell in conspiracy thinking, purveyors of chemtrails, tin hats, ivermectin mixed with sodium hydroxide for Covid etc adds an uncanny disservice to our industry. Time to stow the unsavoury types in the basement and let them yell at the four walls themselves.

A chosen vocation is not enshrined in our rights.

Literally nobody went to the poorhouse because they quit a job that’s either a) easily replaceable with another job that pays well or b) one that paid well enough to set themselves up even better than anyone in group a)

Thousands of pilots chose money and lifestyle over their so-called moral convictions and irrational fears.. which shows that most of it was just for show.

Many other changes in laws and employer rules have forced people to do things they did not want to in order to stay employed, (passport requirements for the USA, drug testing, medical examinations) and yet none of those received the same amount of resistance.

Drug testing, medical exams, and getting a passport are much different than threatening to fire someone if they don't put an experimental medicine that they don't need into their body. None of the first options made changes to how your body works.

That being said I agree it's time to shut it. That way cndavatar (aka Jocina Ardurn) doesn't have to be so busy being "the only source for accurate information" because he's right about everything, especially your medical choices.

Careful, he's already triggered.

Without that forum, how are we supposed to see who is sane, and who is a blathering idiot on this site ?

The other issue, if you get rid of it, all the blathering idiots will bring the conspiracy garbage back into every thread outside of that forum. Better off to give them their 'safe space' where facts dont matter, any old internet conspiracy garbage can be considered gospel.

[Rooster69]

Please keep the sub forum going. I don’t visit it, nor do I feel the need to fact check anyone. At least those posts are on a sub forum and not mixed with the general comments section.

[Old fella]

By the continuance of this sub forum and the associated conspiracy, anti- science tirades, it suggests the owner here is in support of what is being posted and more to the point, a reflection of site owner/administration. I rest my case.

Either that, or it generates a lot of interest for the ads

Looking through the various forums on this site, I see between four and six moderators. Perhaps they can fulfil their responsibilities.

Take a look at the profiles of each moderator. Look at when they were last active, and when they last posted.

Actually, I was aware of that. That is why I brought it up.

What’s Covid?

Sounds like you want to censor speech to make yourself feel better.
Grow and and move on, you can’t force people to believe what you want no matter how self righteous you are.
