love how the media is so scared of trump that they can't even hint about how this is all literally a direct consequence of pridefully ignorant magahat antivaxxer morons who would actually cut their own balls off for trump just because he makes them feel like it's totally fine to be bigoted racist rapist assholes

Rules:
-
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
- Blogsites are treated in the same manner as social media sites. Medium, Blogger, Substack, etc. are not valid news links regardless of who is posting them. Yes, legitimate news sites use Blogging platforms, they also use Twitter, Facebook, and YouTube and we don't allow those links either.
-
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
-
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
-
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
-
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF OCTOBER 19 2025
-
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! 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.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
-
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
-
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

Sometimes I wish there was some scientifically curated fiction where vaccines came from this high altitude tibetan super moss and it was bio and all that bullshit anti vaxxers want to hear. It could work
scientifically curated
you've already lost the audience you're trying to reach
I know but we don't have to call it that! We can call it ancient profetic iluminism lost to ages or some shit. But really what it is is just science based vaccines with some aspirin.
you're on the right track, but i think it's even stupider than that. all that really needs to happen is to somehow get it through their empty cinderblock skulls that measles is actually even more contagious than gayness and woke, and that vaccines love jesus and guns
but still, good luck with any of this
just tell them you have to activate the vaccines with crystals after you get a shot.
We can tick one of those boxes! Vaccines are an adaptation of an ancient eastern medicine practice (variolation) rebranded to give some English white guy all the credit (tbf vaccines are a lot safer, but still the dude didn’t come up with the concept all on his own).
I wonder if a doctor tried this on antivax people.
Apple cider vinegar and oregano oil.
that could be one reason but I'd guess the main reason why they don't single out the trump aligned antivax crowd is because they don't want to alienate trump supporters (that's like over half of the us population)
the people this information needs to get to the most are those antivaxxers, it matters more that they get vaccinated and less that we learn of their mistakes
The outbreaks started under Biden. Vaccination and countering viral spread in general has been undermined by successive governments around the globe to get people back to work despite Covid still causing damage to a lot of people, including deaths, and the main causality has been public health.
We are in for it now. Public heath has always ben a sisyphean task. Interrupt it and you lose ground immediately and constantly until you go backstop the fall. Which is to say, we're in for it.
Not to mention invisible when it does it's job right. When public health is supported people don't get sick, epidemics don't happen, things look good. So some genius gets it in their head to cut public health funding. Why waste money on public health when people aren't sick. Then public health gets cut, people get sick, people blame the health care industry which isn't the same as public health. That happenes until public health gets a little more support, and people stop getting sick, rinse any memory of the last time, and repeat.
This is the IT affect. When IT works, everything is invisible and you don't see issues. When you take funding and personal away, suddenly you have all these issues that IT should have to fix, and now we suck because you can't fix it, because so and so was the resident, or whatever tool we had paid for was cut for funding, etc.
Then they ship the jobs to India because they can hire 10 Indians for the price of one American. Then when everything gets fucked up they have to hire more Americans to unfuck it.
Steve Jobs proved that even Sociopathic Oligarchs can be just as stupid as anyone else when it comes to health. Maybe even stupider, since their uncontrolled narcissism has convinced them that they are smarter than doctors. I encourage this trend.
that sub which imploded trying to reach the Titanic has convinced (some of) them that they are smarter than engineers too
Look at Trump. He routinely claims he knows more about everything than anybody. That's clearly a lie, since nobody knows more than my Uncle Bob after three beers.
i always triied to phrase it more that we're definitively smarter than a few specific ones (those submarine engineers, to be precise)
We’re just experiencing an evolutionary split within the human race, that’s all…
You’re joking but this isn’t far from the truth. Self destructive behaviours wiping out species not clever enough to change their behaviour is as old as the earth.
Wasn’t actually joking but I agree with your response.
I'm old enough to have the Smallpox vaccine, so have fun with that, you MAGA Morons.
