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.

And what about my wife? She's allergic to the measles vaccination.

[–] JaymesRS@literature.cafe 16 points 11 months ago (1 children)

That seems different than a refusal, no? That seems more like a medical incompatibility.

[–] lka1988@sh.itjust.works 2 points 11 months ago (1 children)

People use bullshit excuses all the time to avoid getting their kids vaccinated, including "allergies".

[–] 4am@lemm.ee 10 points 11 months ago (1 children)

"Allergies" are medically provable. Bullshit reasons are stuff like "sky daddy told me I don't hafta" and "the govmint can't 5g me"

[–] lka1988@sh.itjust.works 0 points 11 months ago

That is certainly one extreme.

[–] shiroininja@lemmy.world 7 points 11 months ago

That’s a contrarian question, of course there would be loopholes for that.

[–] mattw3496@fedia.io 3 points 11 months ago (1 children)

I assume it would be documented and considered an exception

[–] lka1988@sh.itjust.works 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

She lost the documentation years ago. We're almost 40.

[–] otp@sh.itjust.works 2 points 11 months ago (1 children)

You can either get the documentation reprinted, or get tested, no?

[–] lka1988@sh.itjust.works 2 points 11 months ago

Yes, but it's just another thing on the pile of shit we're dealing with right now. The fact that she is a woman already doesn't bode well. We're just glad that we're both sterilized, all things considered...

[–] blarth@thelemmy.club -1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Then she is also allergic to measles, because all it is is weakened measles itself.

[–] lka1988@sh.itjust.works 2 points 11 months ago

Yes, it's a shit situation.

[–] blakenong@lemmings.world -2 points 11 months ago (1 children)
[–] lka1988@sh.itjust.works 2 points 11 months ago (1 children)

And that right there is why your argument is complete bullshit.

Yeah, exactly. You’re making it up.

I got nothing to prove to you, asswipe. It's people like you that makes it difficult for others to be taken seriously at the doctor's office. Fuck off and die.
