Is covid-liberalism a bannable offense in c/covid?

I'm getting really fucking weary of seeing sentiments like, "being upset about someone scheduling a non-emergency dental appointment in the middle of the second largest covid wave is deranged" or "you're a selfish asshole for expecting your loved ones to do the bare fucking minimum to protect you" in discussions on masking or vaccine uptake

I know I'm not the only one disappointed in the growing anomie. Maybe we should operate more like c/vegan where everything from omnivore apologia to overt antiveganism (analogous to the above anti-precaution/anti-max/anti-vax-apologia) is forbidden, and posting/commenting as much gets you a ban?

I sort by all but it's mostly local (with some lemmygrad thrown in). Checking the front page right now, 16/17 top posts in the last day are local (1 from lemmygrad), and 15/16 active posts are local (1 from lemmy.ml); 12/15 hot are local but I don't use hot sort much. I've blocked a lot of the low effort (federated) meme comms but those were mostly low activity with lots of votes IIRC.
