Welcome to the News community!
Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. 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. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.
Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.
5. Only recent news is allowed.
Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.
6. All posts must be news articles.
No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials, videos, blogs, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.
7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.
All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link. Newswire services such as AP, Reuters, or AFP, are frequently republished and may be shared from other credible sources.
10. Don't copy entire article in your post body
For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.

measles outbreak incoming!
oh, wait...
Hoping senior I can get revacinnated for measles and chickenpox with all these unvaccinated idiots and their spawn buzzing around now. Had shingles in my 50s, not interested in repeating that
Anyone that got a MMR before 1989 absolutely should get their immunities tested, they changed the vaccine regiment that year, I went and got checked shortly after the idiots we’re sworn in and my immunity to mumps had lapsed and my doctor insisted I get the first round that day.
I would think your doctor would be fine with that. I know that when I went to get a tetanus booster a couple decades ago, the nurse at CVS wanted me to get a DPT booster. I said, "Wait, diphtheria is coming back??" She said, "No, pertussis." I said, "Gimme the shot."
More people die by stupid
I trust ones before 2024 but going forward with kennedy and trumps firing of kowledgable folks I am not sure. will go by european agencies.
hopefully more states will do this:

oh now that I think about it I think my state did something like this.
it is damaging to question it
I think this phrasing is pretty key. Some people equate "question" to "doubt" and some view it as more "inquire to better understand" and without that being more clearly stated, I'm hesitant to bash the group in the "neither" group. I think it could feasibly indicate they believe it's neither damaging to enforce or question vaccines (e.g., they want everyone to be informed and vaccinated).
Fuck that whole top group though.
So...More Americans stupid than not
Place your bets. Roll the Darwin Dice.

And now we’re finding out that having the Covid vaccine can help treat and potentially cure cancer. Beam me up Scotty.
