Copy-pasted the stickied moderator comment below:

The spread of harmful misinformation has become an untenable problem on Reddit. Its latest incarnation has seen life-threatening untruths being propagated by anti-vaxxers and conspiracy theorists, and Reddit’s administration has stated that it will not meaningfully curb the myths disseminated by these bad actors. In response to this, many communities on the site have gone private in protest.

/r/GIFs supports and stands behind these communities' efforts to stem the effects of false information, but we have chosen to remain open as a means of amplifying their message. We encourage all Redditors to vocally reject misinformation, and to stymie its spread by demanding that only verifiable facts be given support (whether tacit or otherwise).

An in-depth explanation of how misinformation is harmful can be found here. (https://www.reddit.com/r/pics/comments/pfeu8w/our_stand_against_misinformation/)

Jesus H Christ these people are insane. "Lives are on the line, so we can't discuss things that might impact vaccine sales" and meanwhile the vaccine isn't working, and might actually be harming people... but no, we can't discuss that because "lives are on the line" but meanwhile lives are also on the line with the mRNA injection side-effects, but apparently those lives don't matter so no one can talk about them which makes everyone believe they don't exist? What a god damn joke. Reddit is literally evil. Manufacturing consent for pharma companies while thinking themselves as doing highly moral work. I'm running out of words to explain how fucked up this all is.
