The Rules

Links to news stories from...
...credible sources, with...
...their original headlines, that...
...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”

Please also avoid duplicates.

Comments and post content must abide by the server rules for Lemmy.world and generally abstain from trollish, bigoted, ableist, or otherwise disruptive behavior that makes this community less fun for everyone.

The Great Panic in World War Z was when the public realized there was no cure and the rabies vaccine developed did nothing against the infection. Another chapter mentions a border guard who remembered how "[travelers] gave me a look that said money wasn't going to be good for much longer."
