Welcome to the News community!
Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.
Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.
5. Only recent news is allowed.
Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.
6. All posts must be news articles.
No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials, videos, blogs, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.
7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.
All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link. Newswire services such as AP, Reuters, or AFP, are frequently republished and may be shared from other credible sources.
10. Don't copy entire article in your post body
For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.

Let's be real here. This should be forced unless medically said otherwise by a provider with proof of allergen or other complications.
Key difference there is vaccines were backed by science and bleach injections were not. Unless you count any scientific evidence of death.
In the 50's to 80's being vaccinated was manditory to enter school (in a lot of places). It has been done before and can be done again.
The only difference between then and now was the majority of citizens trusted their gov'ts. Over time politician's lies, thievery and bribery have removed that trust.
If you want that trust to thrive again, force politicians to stop lying ... and if they're caught they automatically go to jail.
Well that is why I added the part about a provider with proof. A provider would be able to except you from injecting bleach, because the science says it's not safe.
Your other comment about "The downside of freedom is also the freedom to make bad choices." I disagree. Your freedom ends when it infringes on mine. If your kid gets the flu from another kid in daycare because that parent decided "I'll make a bad choice" now that bad choice they made is impacting your health. The same applies to vaccines. I could make the "bad choice" to play bumper cars on the freeway, but now I'd be directly impacting others lives based on my "freedom".
I guess my repeating "BACKED BY SCIENCE" is not doing anything. I guess we're done here. Especially so if your logic jump from bumper cars is take the bus, not "Don't play bumper cars."
No point arguing. Have a nice day.
Then you don't know what that term means. If the science is false, then it is fundamentally NOT backed by science.
I mean, you could make that kind of slippery slope argument about anything. If you let congress pass laws, they might pass any sort of crazy law. If you let your friend grab a drink from your fridge, he might grab anything from your fridge!
We shouldn't be treating this like we're asking for wishes from a malicious genie.
While true, the government has the authority to just pass laws "generally" which can also be abused. Which is why we need to be careful to elect competent and sober representatives who.... Oh shit...
