Steemit - Why was I flagged???

I joined Steemit 2 days ago and had one of my story posts 'flagged' yesterday. 😕 Not too sure who flagged me and why.

My post was about the Dangers of Vaccines. I know it's a touchy topic for people who 'love' vaccines. As the post was really a #repot from the well known website for all news about natural remedies and stories, I just wanted to 'share' a story.

I copied and pasted the story and reference the source giving them the credit also stating that the content did not belong to me then 'boom', I was 'flagged'.

At the same time as was voted ⬇️ Down 😔 by somebody so I do know whether it was because of the way I tried to share a story by posting up the actual direct link or was it a person who loves vaccines and didn't like the opposing idea???

I searched around and kinda know who down voted me but not sure if that person actually 'flagged' my content ...

Okay, if I broke some rule while posting on story, please do not flag my stuff, just be kind enough to explain to me what I did wrong so that I will not make the same mistake. But if you disagree with the 'idea' in my content and are feeling a little finger trigger happy, then that's bad censoring.

I believe that the person who voted me down belongs to a group who purposely 'votes down' writers who they believe writes stuff to hurt the Steemit community. Then please tell me, how is reposting an article about the 'truth about vaccines' and how dangerous they are to the human body and the fact that almost all studies proving vaccines are safe is down by the vaccine manufacturer? I really don't understand, the fact that a write is laying out the facts so that people in the community know another part of vaccine truth is 'bad' for the Steemit community. How??

If some Steemers that have been here longer than I, please explain to me what I did wrong it would be greatly appreciated.

How on earth can I repost an article from another site? Aren't I suppose to post the direct link or does that break Steemit rules. Help ... Someone, please explain to this newbie.

Sincerely Confused and saddened ...
