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.

If you wanted to kill a bunch of Americans for some reason, without all the sticky issues around murder and the like, you'd be hard-pressed to come up with better than these past couple of months.

what's hilarious is, if you read the actual study from '94, that suggested there might be a link.... a middleschool-level of science is needed to refute it.

Remember, correlation is not causation, and that's all they really had. worse, they looked at 12 kids and zoomed in on the MMR vaccine. Which was incredibly common. Pretty much everyone between like the fifties or sixties until the 90's had vaccines.

if correlation is causation, and 12 kids is enough to establish correlation... then have more to consider there. I presume they were all, you know, wearing clothes, for example. Or shoes. Or had hair. They all probably spent time outside, too, in the sunlight. They all probably slept at night. OOO I know. They all probably ate food. and drank water, and not-water-stuffs. PB&J sandwiches.

edit to add: pluto was discovered the same year the diagnostic rules for autism were established, too. so pluto, the planet, causes autism.

So autistic people are from Pluto? Illegal aliens? Pluto is covered with ICE, that must be how they got here. Deported.

[–] Jimmyeatsausage@lemmy.world 5 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Pluto isn't a planet.

Argument destroyed, pharma shill ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

[–] FuglyDuck@lemmy.world 6 points 11 months ago

Yes it is, and I have the solar quest board game board to prove it.

Also, I will fight you. Nobody does Pluto dirty like that.

(For the record, the reclassified it to “dwarf planet” so it’s still a planet. I also understand why they did, but they could have made an exception…. Maybe even turn it into a “fun fact” lesson. Instead… they chose violence.)

Measles wreaks much more bodily havoc than just its 1% fatality rate

[–] prole@lemmy.blahaj.zone 4 points 11 months ago

Sounds like a great way to cripple a generation

[–] Rozz@lemmy.sdf.org 5 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Just maybe all the deaths eventually will make people turn on them. Unlikely, but who knows.

If we ever get a non republican back it will probably hit a boiling point right then.

[–] Bremmy@lemmy.ml 4 points 11 months ago

It didn't seem to change their mind with COVID deaths. They just blamed something else killed them

[–] qprimed@lemmy.ml 35 points 11 months ago (1 children)

According to the website, Dr. Edwards opened the clinic when “a divine appointment in 2011 opened his eyes to the fact that US medical schools only teach a very narrow way of disease and symptom management with pharmaceuticals instead of disease and symptom resolution by addressing root causes.”

doesn't get more "root cause" than stopping a viral infection in its tracks with an effective vaccine. jfc.

So let me get this straight: He's against vaccines, but in favor of administering steroids to children? Okay, relax Satan.

[–] CharlesDarwin@lemmy.world 8 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Well, TBF, when it comes to steroids and children - they are prescribed at times by doctors.

Although given that it's RFK jr we are talking about here and the fact that he has zero training in any of this and is most definitely not a doctor....all of this is highly sus.

[–] FuglyDuck@lemmy.world 5 points 11 months ago

Wanna bet vaccines are prescribed more frequently?

"I am very grateful we live in a community where we can let our children die from a totally preventable disease"

Your parrot just has measles! Go ahead and rub this ointment on it....
