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.

“A clean sweep is needed to re-establish public confidence in vaccine science.”
These professionals are widely trusted, asshole. It's your lunatic fringe base that mistrusts them!
"73% of people feel that vaccines are safe and 77% think they are effective. 79% of those surveyed said they believe it’s important for children to have vaccines and 54% feel that vaccines are compatible with their religious beliefs."
To be fair, or something, i dont really care what the general public thinks about vaccines. The general public is really really dumb, generally speaking, and won't really be able to judge any of this.
Vaccines should be mandatory for everyone, period. Obly allowed exception should be for proven medical reasons. Religion doesn't matter, you get vaccinated, period.
I do care. I would like them to be less dumb. I have to live in a world with these people, and you cant just treat them like objects without big sacrifices, socially psychologically and logistically.
For sure, but the idiots are here now. Start teaching the next generation correctly, lick up the idiots today. If you spout dangerous anti vax crap, you go to jail, I don't care. Your rights end when you endanger my life.
Not a big fan of jail. Not a big fan if making people disposable-which i recognize anti vax does.
Idk; gulag/transportation?
But my raw milk cures me of everything except salmonella.
I so want to assume the /s there, I so want to... I hate that we love in a world where you can say dumb crap like that and i can actually not presume that you're joking
Assume correctly.
No, does that too, just takes a couple days.
Amen
Monkey paw. Nazi government redefines cyanide as a vaccine.
What are you talking about? Are you high?
Making simplistic rules that are compulsory for everyone always causes problems in some way or other.
I thought monkeypaw wishes were a fun way to point this out.
Yup... I plan on starting to pay attention to the recommendations of canadian and UK officials now when it comes to public health and vaccination recommendations.
I'm about 2 hours by car from the canadian border and intend to vaccinate by medical tourism if needed.
Wait, people have religious objections to vaccines? Do they worship St. Influenza or what? Is this the Church of Virus Christus? Latter Day Plagues? Cough-olic? Je-fever's Witnesses?
Give confidence to the most potential dissenters by lying. But it really doesn't matter what he says anymore, we all know he's gonna lie through his teeth and what he's going to do, and it isn't "re-establish[ing] public confidence in vaccine science".
