You may not be aware, but cbs news is now run by right wing weirdos. While this story might be factual, you might consider linking to another source next time.

Fair take but to also be fair the US is quickly running out of news sources not run by right wing yahoo billionaires.
It's not like Jacobin, Mother Jones, or even 404 Media can cover everything. PBS has been struggling with Federal government funding cuts meaning they have fewer staff and resources to cover everything, as well. PBS has also had its own share of conservatives running the operations through the years, it isn't like they've always been perfectly neutral either.
If a major news network with a right wing slant is the only place a story can be found, what then? Pretend like it isn't happening?
Has this had an impact on their reporting, though? I think it's okay to use CBS as a source as long as the reporting is still reliable.
This one also has a video that airplays WITH SOUND on Lemmy. :-(
Wait... I thought it was ~~Tylenol~~ ~~circumcision~~ that caused autism.
Haven't you heard? Everything causes autism now! Drank pineapple juice? Believe it or not, autism. Couldn't get two Lego pieces apart as a child? Straight to autism.
What if my mother was circumcized and took Tylenol with pineapple juice?
I recently spoke with some old friends, all of whom are senior physicians or chief physicians in Germany, Switzerland, and Spain, about the CDC. They all agreed: the CDC can no longer be taken seriously; it no longer exists as an important scientific institution. This is a loss for medicine worldwide, but especially for the US. They also said that this is directly costing human lives, many lives.
