Rules:
- The mods are fallible; if you've been banned or had a post/comment removed, please appeal.
- Off-topic posts will be removed. If you don't know what "Leopards ate my Face" is, try reading this post.
- If the reason your post meets Rule 1 isn't in the source, you must add a source in the post body (not the comments) to explain this. If the reason is in the source but is tedious to find (e.g. in a lengthy video), you must add an explanation for where it is.
- Posts should use high-quality sources (for a rough idea, check out this list), and posts should retain the title (if one exists) from works like news articles, videos, etc. You may (but need not) edit your post if the source changes the title. Other types of posts should have a title which accurately, relatively neutrally describes their contents.
- For accessibility reasons, an image of text must either have alt text or a transcription in the post body.
- Reposts within 1 year or the Top 100 of all time are subject to removal. Within moderator discretion, this doesn't just include reposts of the exact same media but also includes e.g. a secondary source telling basically the exact same story as another that was already posted.
- This is not exclusively a US politics community. You're encouraged to post stories about anyone from any place in the world at any point in history as long as you meet the other rules.

Should be a law if you don't trust science to get vaccinated, you can't use hospital resources when you're sick. Do your research and figure it out.
Sounds great in theory, absolutely rancid in practice. It would lead to a massive increase in infections in people who actually did get vaccinated or who are otherwise immunocompromised.
Also in this case it would just punish those poor children even more for the stupidity of their parents.
How about we take in the sick kids, and file charges of child neglect on the parents?
Especially not with measles, that shit is way too dangerous and way too contagious.
The idiots will cull themselves
And get innocent people killed in the pr
They’ll do that either way.
I honestly believe that this will happen over a long period of time. As more diseases and pandemics come back, the people who don't get vaccinated will die in larger numbers, leading to natural selection against stupidity. Unfortunately it will also take out the vulnerable.
ive seen more infections circulating around ever since Mr brainworms removed any vaccine mandates, or defunded vaccine research. now we also see people resisting getting vaccines in general now too.
Or planes or cars or computers, etc, etc.
Let's abandon the Hippocratic oath and switch to MAGA tactics!
Do no harm != help everyone all the time
It means if someone needs healing you heal them, end of story. Choosing to not help is doing harm.
This circle of hate is sad and worrying. The solution to this measles problem is more education and leaders that really care about their population, not stupid campism. What is gained by not treating the stupid fucks who refuse the vaccine because they think they know better? They will become a contagion vector and die in their conviction, and you get to feel smug I guess. Be the better person, don't stoop to their level.
Seems like self-deportation to a faraway island would be a win-win. Thrive, die, they can do whatever they like with minimal impact on the rest of society.
