It makes any meat unsafe to eat if refrozen before it is cooked. Once it's cooked you can refreeze it....this preserves it

Bacon being an unclean meat is made edible longer by the use of nitrates freezing and refreezing may be tampering with this chemical

I've been refreezing meats of all kinds for more than thirty years. I seldom believe anything until I've tested and proved it. I have thawed and refrozen many many many pounds of bacon, ham, pork, beef, chicken, turkey, fish and ground beef. If it's bad for me, I'd like to know in what way and why I haven't seemed to be affected in all of those years.
My reaction to that idea is the same as my reaction to all advice from people who work in laboratories and live in ivory towers, believe nothing of what you hear (and read), and only half of what you see.

It's not good to refreeze any meat.

Why don't you just cook up the bacon and keep it refrigerated...that way it isn't gone to waste.?????

before you freez it, break it up into smaller packages, then you only have to thaw what you need.

I would cook it and then freeze it. I think it would lose flavor otherwise.
