At the beginning of Covid, reasonable people that were trying to tell people that the vaccines aren't 100% effective and should probably take other precautions on top were getting banned for "vaccine misinformation" and were being lumped in with the Covidiots. It was a trigger-happy moment for social media that was trying to brute-force moderation on keywords alone without looking at context.

Not saying that's what happened to this person, but it did happen.
