scope are no different than the rest of the media Autisic people have a different view on the world and being ignored by the world in their fight for justice now scope have equally done the same in taking away the voice of the most vulnerable, I'm fearful for the disabled community who have no voice .

Quite dangerous opinions...free speech comes with responsibility.
Understandably, there are a diverse range of opinions about the pandemic based on personal interpretation of the data and we aim to allow free speech on the community as much as possible to reflect this.
However, we are also guided by the online community guidelines and where opinions might be dangerous or offensive to others we act accordingly.
In future posts please also bear in mind our 'keep it safe' advice which states:

I'm disagreeing with you.
We care about your well-being and want to keep you safe so should you ever feel that you may act on suicidal thoughts, please call 999 immediately and ask for an ambulance.
Also, if you want to talk to someone about any distressing thoughts you may be experiencing, please:

I should imagine there are plenty of opportunities for you to spread your disinformation on facebook twitter etc, my suggestion is that would be better suited to you than scope where our main aim is to help, advise and support people.
I agree with @woodbine that Scope is a place for people to try to help and support one another. I have come across members with a wide range of health and disability issues on here. However, regardless of the nature of the disability, the things that I think we all have in common is that we all want to help and support each other. I have found it to be a place where I have been able to contribute without feeling judged and I have been supported by many members of the online community.
It is very important that any information which is posted is from a reliable source. I do not think that Scope is the place for wrong and potentially harmful information to be posted. That type of information should not be posted on this type of forum (or anywhere else) because it is simply not the place.
Covid 19 is a very real worry for me especially when so many people ignore the rules regarding the wearing of face coverings and do not adhere to social distancing. I don't feel safe to go to the shops because most people ignore the rules and even at the hospital there are many people (staff and patients) who don't wear a face covering properly because they wear it under their nose or chin.
Please don't say Covid 19 is not real because if I contract it, I am highly likely to end up in hospital. People who continue to say that Covid 19 is not real are risking my health and the health of others because they don't do what they are supposed to do to protect others.
