Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.

Rules:

-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --

-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --

-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --

-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --

-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--

-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--

-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --

-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

my partner and i have gotten the vaccine and boosters as soon as they were available but the last time i had really bad heart palpitations for about a day and a half. i didn't corelate that with the vaccine until my cousin went to the hospital for the same thing

Sorry that happened to you but I'm not sure what that has to do with my comment. We should study the negative side effects of vaccines and take them seriously but two anecdotes outside of a clinical trial is not much more meaningful than a single anecdote. If everybody is vaccinated, you'd expect a bunch of vaccinated people to die or get weird symptoms even if it's completely unrelated to the vaccine. We see patterns everywhere.

sure, I'm just saying I'm way more leery of it now since no one told me that could happen and i hadn't heard of others saying that outside of random people on Twitter
