YC is not some magic fantasy organization. Like any other org you should probably discuss things your upset about internally with relevant stakeholders before complaining on Twitter. That said telling other people how to circumvent vaccine queues is clearly unethical and someone high up should have loudly squashed that immediately.

Both the posts about this were promptly removed by YC staff. (And I've just tried searching for any posts with vaccination advice, and there are none whatsoever.)
At least one of the posts didn't seem to be unethical (no lies were being told or rules being broken – though I don't know for sure, I don't live in the US and I haven't read the post myself). But it was still removed by YC staff.

Did you know karma here is < 1/2 of the votes up on a submission, but downvotes on a comment seem to count about 1 to 1? At least I got some karma from it!
In regards to it being flagged, I suppose it's a questionable ethical practice to see the site flag an article about itself. I've made other self-interest related censorship observations here before and I guess the lesson is that those in control can do what they want, when they want.
