You should make a top-level comment about this. Chance that the vaccine works and the associated risks are object-level questions well-worth discussing.
In general, frontpage decisions are not endorsements (though I don’t know Raemon’s thoughts in this particular case), and this comment section is not the place for a debate about frontpaging norms. This is definitely the place to talk about chance the vaccine works and associated risks, though.
I don’t think I was debating the norms, but clarifying how they apply in this case. Most of my comment was a reaction to the “pretty important” and “timeless life lessons”, which would apply to Raemon’s comment whether or not he was a moderator.

Yeah, I don’t mean to say your comment was bad as-written, just preemptively heading off a potential thread.
Ah got it, thanks!
