Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. 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.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. 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.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
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.
That's all the rules!

So keep jabbing yourself full of weight loss drugs so you can consume more empty fast food calories.
In the mean time, vaccines bad and should be hidden. It was less than a year ago when the health department made some sense.

Being pro vaccine doesn't excuse you for using anti-science and prejudice to attack other medications.
That's what I'm talking about. You're attacking a medication without understanding it and have an active desire to not understand it. You've made up your mind, in ignorance, and are using your prejudice to justify advocating against that thing you refuse to understand.
I see this exact attitude with all sorts of science deniers from Flat Earthers to racists. It makes the world a worse place. Stop it.
Didn't care about the specifics of a particular one over another. My take is that promoting the 'fix' of something via chemical intervention that wasn't a widespread problem until relatively recently is the wrong approach.
This is not something caused by genetics or some novel disease targeting the USA public, it's a change in recent decades of our diets and lifestyles.
Pills and shots of any sort are only masking the underlying issue, regardless of their mechanism.
People said LITERALLY the same thing about ADHD. You're straight up mistaken in your thinking, and you need people like me to tell you that because you refuse to learn about the things your criticizing on your own.
But you're probably just going to accuse me of bias and ignore me. That's what all the other science deniers do, too.
You're going to try and compare lack of understanding about a mental condition to people physically getting wider?
You don't even understand enough to get why the comparison is relevant.
