When I explained how the vaccine works to an antivaxxer, they asked about the thousands of people that died right after taking the vaccine. (lemmy.ml)

Referring to COVID-19 as "xhinese flu" is considered xenophobia. Further use of that term will result in a ban.

Even though I disagree with this rule whose basis appears to be reddit-like political correctness, I'll follow.

Is there a place where one can formally contest this rule?

Nope. It's up to me to interpret the rules, and that is the conclusion I've come to. Just use the terms agreed upon by the WHO and the scientific community more broadly and you'll be fine.
