I had a recent comment exchange about this, and I learned the facts:

I have the karma points required for all that, however, I only see a vouch button when the post has gone from [flagged] to [dead]. So, I can only vouch for a dead post.

There is no way for users to "fight back" against a flagged post. I assume that it was the "fight" part that made them make that decision back in the day, which I understand.

But, things have really changed in social media/forums since then, and this a social media/forum website.
