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.
This is bad. This is really bad. We knew it was coming, but if the FDA is dismantled to syncopats, a lot of people will die.
Corporations will cheap out on food safety, drug safey, medical device safety, health recommendations, vaccines, research, you name it.
Preventable disease will spread. More people will die in hospitals on life saving equipment. Any exported medications (I don't know if that's a thing) will have to be blocked by the receiving countries.
if the FDA is dismantled to syncopats
Did you mean sycophants? Psychopaths? Something else?
.... Yes
I couldn't figure out how to spell it lol
The rhythm is gonna get ya
It's ok. RFK is going to be dope(d).
When vaccines are no longer available in the US, there will be a tourism boost from Americans going elsewhere to get them. You guys can just shift us left by helping lefties survive while conservatives self-select to be decimated by disease.
That isn't how this works. Herd immunity is extremely important for people who actually can't safely be vaccinated, but more importantly, having large populations of anti-vaxxers will create ample opportunity for the viruses to mutate into forms that we don't necessarily have vaccines for.
We are all truly fucked unless we deal with these scum. It's not just going to hurt the people causing the problem, and it will spread to the rest of the world.
You understand what you're saying with "deal with these scum," right? They are the government. If they don't outright ban vaccines, they will pull all funding of them.
There is only one cure for a fascist government, and we aren't desperate enough for that. Yet.
Until then, we'll have to work around them. Many on the left are marginalized folks. I don't include myself there, but if anyone in this country knows how to skirt the rules to live their life, it's them. They will lead the way.
Underground vaccine clubs. Phrases like, "friends of Edward Jenner." I mean it probably sounds a little more tongue in cheek than I intend. I'm not saying this will be a gay old time. I'm saying we will find ways to survive and thrive despite their best efforts, as people always have (I mean, you know, barring the occasional genocide).
And if it becomes desperate enough to remove fascists the only way they can be, we will do that, too.
I don't disagree with any of this. We just also need to be realistic about the fact that viruses have no boundaries and they don't discern between marginalized people and fascist shitheads when they mutate and spread.
That's true too. There will be suffering, electing facists idiots kinda does that. Protecting yourself and your community of non-idiots is the best you can do. Find those vulnerable people and set up a group that can care for them vaccinated people delivering/making food and the like.
I've been saying for years that we're going to have a civil war. I predicted it when I was a hard line conservative and I've been saying now as a bleeding heart liberal.
I was just hoping that I'd be much older when it happened.
I thought that in the 80's. And then I thought nah. And now here we are.
That's assuming other countries will still let you in. If there's some outbreak a bit like the 'Rona again, they might say no vaccine no entry.
If they just forcibly vaccinate and quarantine, that would accomplish the mission. Worst vacation ever, though.
Gonna stand at the US-Canadian border with my sleeve rolled up, cover myself in maple syrup, and wait for favorable winds so the Mounties’ vaccine drone can dart me
I wonder if we can come up with another set of the Bible plagues for the Trump administration because it seems like they're trying to do it.
Measles is picking up again, why not that one?
The death of your first born... along with your second, third, etc. All the born, really.
Quick, somebody gather up a bunch of frogs and airdrop them over Mar A Lago.
The Trump administration has always placed its own interests ahead of science. Women’s health, the definition of race, and vaccines have all been targeted. The U.S. will continue to lose its scientific researchers for the Trump admin to promote its own agenda. Trickle down economics didn’t work, but scientific research strangulation will affect all U.S. citizens.
This is the "fuck around" portion. I fear for ordinary Americans when the "find out" part comes.
Just come to Germany.
