So yes, let's have a discussion. But the ground rules have to be that scientific findings have far greater weight than a lay person's beliefs and ideas. The problem lately is that certain news sources have been giving equal or greater weight to unfounded theories than they are to rigorously produced scientific findings. That type of discussion is harmful (in this case to public health) so it deserves censorship. People's lives are at risk. They deserve the actual facts so they can make informed decisions.
