I posted a meme about vaccine mandates and it got removed within an hour

Last week I shared a meme that just showed a graph comparing case numbers before and after mandates in my city. It wasn't even political, just data. The mods took it down saying it was 'misleading health information.' That got me thinking about how even basic facts can get labeled as dangerous now. Has anyone else had a harmless meme flagged just because it touched on a sensitive topic?

Pivoted to posting the same graph but with a handwritten caption explaining exactly where I got the numbers, and it stayed up just fine... sometimes the format matters more than the facts.

Is it just me, or do the mods have a sixth sense for finding things that ruffle feathers? I posted a cartoon of a guy holding up a sign that just said "let us eat cake" during a supply shortage and it got flagged for mocking poor people. Guess I should've drawn a graph instead.
