Interesting. Funny how wrong the Community Note was. Obviously vaccine × virus aren't an xor . Many people have already had the virus by the time they were forced to take the vaccine. For those people the myocarditis risk was a strict net negative.

Who was forced to get vaccinated in which country?

People who wanted to keep their job, friends and family. It's disgusting.

I was. I’m American.

Define forced. Federal employees and federal contractors were required to be vaccinated or lose their jobs and this was also repeated in several US states. Military members were also forced to vaccinate or face other than honorable discharge or NJP at a minimum.

Yes, nobody came with a gun and "forced" them to take it, but significant economic coercision meets my definition of force.

I’m surprised when I see people uncritically repeating the claim that Twitter now aims for “free speech.” It’s clear that was never true and always meant “Speech Elon wants to allow.”

Free speech is the most fragile principle of liberty. It readily makes hypocrites out of most of its strongest defenders.

Is there any actual evidence of foul play here? Could just be the note got enough bad ratings to stop being featured. Not that removing it would be entirely out of character for him, but Musk has gotten community notes applied to his Tweets before and always maintained that that was allowed and a good thing.

Musk always maintains something until he steps on his ego. Remember when twitter was supposed to be a "free speech" platform? Musk has lost all benefit of the doubt, and then some.

Okay, but this is still an implied accusation with zero evidence. Surely losing the "benefit of the doubt" doesn't mean you can just make up any story you want about someone and use that to demonize them until there's definitive proof your accusation is wrong?

Earlier quoted context omitted.

> ... significant economic coercision meets my definition of force

Military members are vaccinated against a myriad of illnesses right after joining. They are also required to follow a bunch of rules, some of which severely restrict the practice of their first amendment rights.

They weren't "forced", as much as they have to agree with the DoD rules to work for them.
